Probably one of the nicest FK8’s in the world. Lots of thought put into every mod! Huge $$$$$ spent! But the joy/passion I see you have is priceless! Kudos to you my man!!!
My R got rear ended by a 17 year old texting. Not totalled and not too much damage, but I'm devastated. Hoping the money I get from the dimished value will go towards some track focused upgrades.
@@GridZilla yeah it's in the shop now. Probably gonna have to get a lawyer for the dimished value since most insurances don't pay you unless you mention it, in which case they low ball. But yeah, hoping for the best.
Wow, going to get a diminished value on a civic, nice I love it. Good luck. Funny I had my 2000 Si stolen and stripped, I fought with insurance, and got $1,640 more than I paid for it when it when it was brand new. This was back in '03 when mint sub 10k mile ones were going used at dealers for 20k.
Fixed the problem, it was the power shifting option that was doing that so my boy turned it off and now the car is driving perfect , made 383whp and 363tq , I'm so happy 😊🤗
I know my Side Markers didn't make the list because it's not a performance mod, but still very happy to see you rocking them!! Love watching your videos, very well explained content that is easy for people of all knowledge and skills to follow :) - Humza @ Unity Performance
Michael I just saw the Evasive Motorsports Carbon Front Lip Spoiler V2; it's a full replacement of the factory Lip and the best looking I've seen so far.
KG_ONE R that’s a nice piece. They’re whole aero kit is nice. Almost went with them but decided against it because lowering the car with a kit that also lowers the profile of the whole car is bad news for daily driving in the Bay Area
Thank you so much Michael for your content! Very inspiring and helped me to actually go and buy one. Im going to put together my own video for my 1yr ownership upcoming in April showcasing my set up so far. Thank YOU!! - R 25210
Hey Mike, Happy Monday- What a great way to start out the week with another awesome video!! Thanks for breaking down the types of mods that each type of driver will want to consider. The information you shared compliments the Google slides presentation I made listing the mods I'm considering of adding to my future Type R. I'm going to definitely add this video to my saves list, along with some of the other videos you've made up to this point. I think I consider myself all of the above- daily enthusiast, looks, sound and little power guy (except for being the track guy) although it may be a hobby I will strongly consider in the future!! I'm considering an AWE exhaust. I'll need to find out if the sound is within the CA sound limit (below 95dB). More homework and research to look up. Again thanks Mike! Great video!!
Love the video. I was just recently tuned. Mods prl dp,fp, intercooler, hvi,titanium turbo inlet from rampage fab,ti resonated exhaust from rampage fabrication,rs450 turbo upgrade from rampage fab ,hondata. Numbers 390whp,365tq. We ran out of ⛽️, upgrading to hondata ⛽️ system by next week. As well as prl flex ⛽️ . I’m expecting 450whp with these last two upgrades for the year. Next comes the cosmetics. I love your content brotha. Can’t wait to see the ek build.
John Cortez that’s an awesome build you for there. Careful with your rods brotha. Think I’m keeping my internals stock so I might go fuel system upgrade at some point and then power wise I’m done.
Hello, dont leave comments normally. Great video really un bias and informative. How is the modded fk8 for reliabilty and servicing (pads/tyres not included if tracked)?? Mrs daily drive my weekend hoon and a bit of track use 👍 Cheers
hjl748 thank you for commenting! 🙂 reliability is great to a point. I truly believe I am at the limit power wise before things really start getting questionable. That says a lot considering I track my car and I’ve really had little issue aside from over heating on track.
Michael Baxi Media that’s awesome man thank you for the reply. I am 19 with a 2015 WRX, I’m about June I plan on selling it to get like a 2017 type r. I am so excited, literally can’t wait. I’ve worked 7 days a week even with this quarantine stuff going on!!
Loving the videos! Especially with us being quarantined lol. I have a question that you may be able to help. What are your thoughts on the BMSPEC splitter compared to racebred? I got the bmspec still packaged but wondering if maybe racebred we’ll be a better fit. It’s my daily with weekend mountain runs. Tracking will be later down the road
Melvin Gutierrez well BMSPEC IS BUMPER mounted. Racebred is Chassis mounted. One will drag your bumper down. The other supports the bumper. Plus BMSPEC is out of business now soooo yeah 😂
I started following you a couple of weeks ago and I must say love the content on your channel. You have built such an amazing R. Since I have 2018 model and black as well I wanna make mine just like yours. Can I ask you about the wheels you have on your car. What size are they?
Thanks Michael, ı still focus on the issues of my transmission.. The mechanic man insists on changing clutch pressure plate, but ı will make him first check CMC as in your link that you sent me bro..
Hey Mike, i just recently bought a 2018 civic type R and i am that type of the daily driver / car moder. any particular suggestions on what i should go first if i want more speed. sorry i am new to this.
I have been following your build for some time and I know that you have gone through multiple wheels/tires. Is there anything in particular that you are mindful of while choosing the wheel? Offset/width? I am wondering if an 18" wheel will upset the stock handling balance. Has torque-steer gotten worse with any of your wheels? Did you have to play with camber?
Nice video Michael! Your car is looking good. Do you think the hondata is worth it for a stage 1 tune? I have an intercooler since I track the car, but I don't plan on doing a downpipe.
Everything you got plus new hondata fuel system kit twin oil cooler ,upgraded radiator , upgraded cooling tank , double twin catch can ,upgraded rods , upgraded turbo you can do it all now it’s up to you how much of a beast you want the FK 8 it can be extreme you just need to add an extra 25- 30k 🤣🤣🤣🤣 if I had money I’ll do it
Probably one of the nicest FK8’s in the world. Lots of thought put into every mod! Huge $$$$$ spent! But the joy/passion I see you have is priceless! Kudos to you my man!!!
Rey Akuffo 🙏🏽
I've been under a rock... messing with my k swap turbo el. made 550whp. wrote it off... receiving my fk8 next week LOL
My R got rear ended by a 17 year old texting. Not totalled and not too much damage, but I'm devastated. Hoping the money I get from the dimished value will go towards some track focused upgrades.
Code FK8 sport to hear about the accident. Hope the insurance company helps you out. 👍🏽

Awesome video with great points!
Great video!
Intake K & N drop in filter done!
Love your car but that wing is unreal😂 I get it’s for the track tho - at least you’re making use of it
Cameron Jackson Yep that’s all it’s there for 😁
Perfect modification,,
Create more content, because your followers are curious about your activities with your car 👌👌👌
husfai would love to. Covid 19 is not helping but I should have something next week
@@GridZilla ok i wait next video, don't forget to multiply the beauty shot of your car so that the audience doesn't get bored 👌👌😁😁
Nice video. Where did you get the shift knob?
Oem
Hello, dont leave comments normally. Great video really un bias and informative.
How is the modded fk8 for reliabilty and servicing (pads/tyres not included if tracked)?? Mrs daily drive my weekend hoon and a bit of track use 👍
Cheers
hjl748 thank you for commenting! 🙂 reliability is great to a point. I truly believe I am at the limit power wise before things really start getting questionable. That says a lot considering I track my car and I’ve really had little issue aside from over heating on track.
@@GridZilla what are you running?? Im thinking 350-375hp cold system max for honda reliabilty??
hjl748 yep. Basically all bolt ons with flex fuel minus turbo upgrade and fuel system upgrade
2:13 looks big, but small on the car or does it only seem like to me?
N X K the picture of wheels on the car are different wheels
You said the intake would be a good addition for the show kind of guy. Do you need a tune for the prl intake? I’m assuming you do
Jordan Novak you do not need a tune but you can surely benefit from one 😁
Michael Baxi Media that’s awesome man thank you for the reply. I am 19 with a 2015 WRX, I’m about June I plan on selling it to get like a 2017 type r. I am so excited, literally can’t wait. I’ve worked 7 days a week even with this quarantine stuff going on!!

Can I ask you about the wheels you have on your car. What size are they?
Surosh Azizi my daily wheels are Rays 57dr 18x9.5 +38 265/35/18
Surosh Azizi track wheels are Titan 7 TS5 18x8.5 +45 265/35/18
Can you share a link of the lug you have on your FK8? they look great. THX
They’re Monster Lock 14x1.5 got them from evasive
Michael Baxi Media Thanks a lot！
Love that wing man, thinking about getting one for mine. You glad you got it?
Daniel Verges, M.D. yes I am. Love the wing too
Michael Baxi Media what spoiler do you have ?
what shift knob is that? love the build btw just recently started following!
Matthew Hernandez Thank you! Shift knob is ESCO T6 and collar Burnt Titanium booth by Acuity. Link in description 😁
Thanks Michael, ı still focus on the issues of my transmission.. The mechanic man insists on changing clutch pressure plate, but ı will make him first check CMC as in your link that you sent me bro..
good idea

Hey Mike, i just recently bought a 2018 civic type R and i am that type of the daily driver / car moder. any particular suggestions on what i should go first if i want more speed. sorry i am new to this.
Best bang for the buck is Hondata for first power mod

Offset/width? I am wondering if an 18" wheel will upset the stock handling balance. Has torque-steer gotten worse with any of your wheels? Did you have to play with camber?
Deepanjan Mazumdar get wheels that have an offset as close to +45 as possible 18x9.5 265/35/18 and you’ll be fine
@@GridZilla thanks for getting back man! love your build (y)
Nice video Michael! Your car is looking good. Do you think the hondata is worth it for a stage 1 tune? I have an intercooler since I track the car, but I don't plan on doing a downpipe.
John's S2K 100% Hondata is one of the biggest bang for the buck power upgrades you can do
itd be nice if there were pics of the things hes talking about lol
Dear Michael, what do you prefer for clutch kit?
Not sure I'm still on stock clutch
how bout hks bov sir ?
No thanks. Messes with A/F ratio
Does the PRL intake give more power than the mishimoto intake?
100%
Where did you get that shift knob?
Acuity
Hey by any chance did you go with the 2" X 15 ROLL or the -2" x 30 Protective Tape on your Inlet Pipe?
Yes that’s exactly what I got
Hey I have a question, I can't seem to find a concrete answer if getting a tune voids warranty or not, would you be able to tell me?
The safe assumption is yes
Ask your dealership
what wing do u have???
APR GT250
How much he spent for the upgrades??
Alot..
Are your tires' size on rear and front different?
Oliver Jason Luminarias nope 265/35/18 squared
Michael Baxi Media what’s your wheel specs sir?
Oliver Jason Luminarias 18x9.5 +38
Michael Baxi Media you’re not getting any rubs sir?
I’m running a pretty aggressive camber so no rub unless I hit a hard dip
what are you lowered on???
In this video I’m on JRZ RS PRO 2 way coilovers
Everything you got plus new hondata fuel system kit twin oil cooler ,upgraded radiator , upgraded cooling tank , double twin catch can ,upgraded rods , upgraded turbo you can do it all now it’s up to you how much of a beast you want the FK 8 it can be extreme you just need to add an extra 25- 30k 🤣🤣🤣🤣 if I had money I’ll do it
corone2018 hrrrrrm sounds tempting. My heart says yes but my walker says no 😂
What is the information of the person that I have to send to the interior? 🔥🔥🔥
Carlos Ponce @Sweidit on Instagram or Aaron Shin on Facebook
you forgot new blinker fluid
Tulipな yes! And the Piston return spring! 😂🤣
