This will all calm down eventually. There are only 500 FL5’s currently in the US due to the 10,000 plus orders in Japan. They won’t be rare in a year. Congrats on the new ride. Looking forward to your future FL5 videos.

WELCOME BACK TO THE CIVIC TYPE R COMMUNITY BROTHA!! 🎉 Found your channel back when you had the fk8 and never unsubscribed to your channel! I can’t wait to see all the new content you make with this car! Congrats! 🍾 🤙🏽

can't wait to see your tack videos and comparing the fl5 to the fk8. holding off on building my fk8 for now.

Awesome! Looking forward to future videos. Enjoy your new ride👍🏻🍻

Hell yeah brother! Glad to have you back with the Type R community. One of the few content creators that I stumbled upon that helped me make the decision to purchase a FK8 last year. Can’t wait to see what you got in store with the FL5. Much love from Hawaii bro 🤙🏽

Found you through FK8 content and stuck with you because I like your style. Excited to get your real opinions on FK8 vs FL5.

Looking forward to you taking this to the track. You have a good amount of experience with the FK8 and would like a true track focused comparison from you. I was interested to see that on the street the fk8 was a bit faster because of the gear ratios but im sure the added rigidity, clearance for larger tires and increased cooling capacity will speak volumes as a track focused car.

loving the content man, picking up my fl5 next week. praying they fix the overheating issues

Can't wait to see ur videos on what you do to the new type r!

I love the CTR, so I cannot wait for what’s to come with this in terms of mods and possible track days. What’s more exciting for me is how much room it has to haul the kiddos and how functional it is as a daily!

Looks awesome, can't wait to get one!

Congrats. Just found your channel and will join you in the FL5 journey. I've had mine for a week and lovin it!

Congratulations !!! I love the Type Rs, FK8 and FL5 look amazing. I own a Red Focus RS, C63s and an M2 Competition and would love to get a hold of a type R. looks like a fun car to daily drive with an amazing interior and awesome Honda community.

New subscriber here! Congratulations on the new FL5! I'm looking forward to more CTR contents. I recently bought an FL5 as well here in Vegas. Love driving every minute of it. 🤙🏽

Congrats on the new FL5! I just bought my first FK8 today, now I see what everyone’s talking about this amazing car.

Will be interesting to see how this thing handles ECTs on the track, provided you decide to track it.

This makes me feel good about my boost blue CTR that just barely hit 10k miles. FL5 is cool and i thought about it, but i think its smart to just keep my lovely fk8 and i'm totally happy with it.

Hey, Big Congrats to you on your Brand New FL5 2023 Type R. I bought a car from Nevada years ago and drove back to California. I really enjoyed the drive. Me alone with my new car and the road. Bliss .... 👍

Would like to see comparisons from your FK8, pros and cons of the FL5. I still have my FK8(19) and is FBO, tuned. I'm considering on getting an FL5..but my FK8 is "perfection."

Congrats on your new car. Man....I can't wrap my head around this market. It's absolutely ridiculous. I remember buying my ITR new 20 years ago for msrp no questions. This platform was always meant to be a an affordable sport trim and the dealers greed binge the last few years is completely reprehensible. As long as people keep paying premiums, they have no reason to stop🤷‍♂️

Nice! Can't wait to see your opinions of the FL5 on track. Finger's crossed for no overheating!!!

Nice CTR , Reminds me of my 2018 Cbp Type R . Congrats !!

Crazy times where 60k barely gets you a CTR. People are crazy for instant gratification these days. Same for the people paying 5k markup for Si’s.

Black is the best color imo…it blends in with the spoiler as for the other colors just looks like an aftermarket part

Great video as always. Thank for your honesty and integrity.

Congrats. Great car, great content. Love it in black, suits it well. Hey, now you can even drive with the windows down! And see! Looking forward to seeing this journey unfold.

Knew this was coming! Congrats!

Wow congrats on your new Type-R variant!! What a boot space for such type of car and well-balanced exterior and interior! Happy weekend to you and your car☺

Subscribed 👍🏼. Looking forward to your experiences and observations over time. And eventually seeing it progress into a track build 😂😂

Just came across your channel and thoroughly enjoyed the whole video man. Solid content and well spoken. Subbed.

love all your videos!

Awesome dude! I'm one of those who stuck it out lol. Looking forward to the fl5 content!

happy to see you back in a type R! you're were the best type R content out there and I was a bit salty you left let alone to a Zupra like everyone else.

Michael, Michael, Michael..... You sneaky devil. You are back in the CTR. I'm one of your OG subscribers, I got my FK8 because of your content. (thanks by the way) I'm loving the Supra content. I'm now prepping to get myself in a Supra as well and keeping the FK8. (my bank account is not too happy though). Anyway, totally looking forward to the FL5 content. Keep it up my man!!

That’s what I ran into too brother. I just bought a brand new 2021 VW Jetta GLI Autobahn 7 months back. Wanted a brand new 2022 but they were NO WHERE to be had. I was running into the same thing, I was willing to drive 500 miles to get it and no one would sell me one, nor order one because no dealers could get stock. I ended up calling a VW dealer in Atlanta, and they agreed to sell it to me at MSRP since I was driving so far to get it and because it was last years model. But man I called dealers all the way around me up to 500 miles away and no one would even try to speak to me about a sale out of state. They had a guaranteed sale and they flat out refused. Autotrader was my best friend. For you folks out there trying to buy a car right now. Use auto trader, it works at getting to the information you’ll need to talk these dealers down. It’s rough out there right now in the car market

I did the exact trip you made in the opposite direction. I bought mine In norther Cali drove it back to So-cal

I got my type R in Texas and drove it all the way to NYC 🤣🤣 27 hour drive

Congratulations brother!

Looking forward to watching this build bro.

Congrats. I'm waiting on my Rallye Red to come in. I put the deposit down 3 weeks ago. Great video.

It's gorgeous, gratz!

Welcome back, I'll be waiting for more type r content.

Enjoy the ride bro. You're like me, I still love my hondas both cd5 and dc3. Meanwhile I am currently loving my A91. Look like you also have one yellow in the background.

Ordered same color as thinking was it blended with the spoiler, antenna on the roof and side mirrors better than all the other colors. Seeing yours confirms my opinion. Good one. Incidentally even have similar ultra Apple watch as you. Ocean band like yours but in the more under the radar color midnight. There the similarities end For I am almost 70 and you are nowhere close! Enjoy.

Congrats brotha! My dream is to fly out somewhere to buy a car and drive her home! Almost did it with an S2000 CR :’)

so glad to see you back in a Type R man. Congrats!!

Can’t decide what color looks best on the new CTR. I like the optional forged wheels as well.

Subscribed! Uff that FL5 is gorgeous...cant wait for the upcoming content!

Congratulations on the new R, from here in 🇬🇧

It looks fantastic black on black, but the dealerships are just adding crazy markups on these. I don’t know maybe in a few years the prices will come down, but I doubt it.

Nice ride, congrats on the car. In California especially i doubt you can get one less than $60K until 2024. Some places were charging up to $70K…

Congrats bro.. making money moves!

Congrats, Broheim! Couldn't get into the looks of the FK8, Sleeper looks have always been better. Assuming both stock, the CTR can circle Nurburgring faster than the BMWupra.

People need to stop playing over msrp, dealers are just taking advantage of the consumers. Congrats on the car it is beautiful

Well Michael…This is your number 2 Fan once again…whispering in your ear like Jimminy Cricket. Welcome back to The Type R Fold My Brother!!! Beautiful Ride Man!!! Read through all of the comments and was amazed by the interest in how much you paid…Well…as we both already know…THAT’S between you and the loansharks Bro!😂 I’m sincerely happy for you Man and pray that The Type R Gods will be most kind and forgiving to you on track days…especially in the cooling department! I’m sure that you and Dr. Drew will be triumphant!😁 When I get my Type R back from the body shop…and finally complete my mods…maybe I’ll track you down for a donut and a cup of Joe…so you can stroll down memory lane…minus the overheating rage issues of course!😂

You are lucky man. I am from Canada and I have been waiting for over 18 months as well with a manager in one of the biggest dealership. Now they said they gonna give it to those “VVIP” first, also trying to turn it to a used car so to mark it up…

ive seen 10k markups on the type r!? how much markup was on this car when you bought it? hopefully no more 2nd gear grind/4th gear lockout and the over heating issues!

Love the black for the new type r

What a beauty 😮congratulations buddy !!!

All of that red interior would make me want to change my shoes before getting in, each and every time.

Tons of people have talked about the Apple Carplay....what I really want to know is how much was the markup?

Welcome back big homie!!

Subscribed back to your channel for the new type r. Congrats!!!🎉

Excited for you! Still waiting for my delivery on the east coast 😭

Back in the type r!!!!!!

Dealers are doing 20k markup on those

Congratulations on that beauty

Congratulations and good luck!! Awesome car.

I have a M2 thinking about changing to fl5 for some JDM tastes

Glad to see you here again with the Type R bro 🎊 😅

Welcome back to the R club!

Congrats man

Nice purchase dude 👍🏼. Great call on the Black

I’m buying local. I got a dealership 4 miles from my house. I hope I can get one from them and get the service there for the rest of its life.

CBP just like you previous FK8, 9ice!! :)

Ctr and supra with a nice house. You've done good Sir

Haha going thru my saved vids and watched ur exhaust on old one And bang you got new one !

So you talked about all these different prices but you didn't say exactly what you paid we want to know exactly how much you paid tho just curious? I overpaid on mine but I love it.. 21 paid 47k

Congrats bro! I was debating on this or the supra Mt, went with the supra lol

welcome back sir

I find it weird that the old one is actually faster in a rolling race though, thanks to throttle house review of it. Personally probably gonna pass on this type r even though it looks better than the previous gen imo. I just wish they made it all wheel drive this time around. Golf r definitely ahead of its time when it comes to that with drift mode too.

Congrats 👏 what's the markup? Where u at?

Love that turtle I want one!! Where u get it from do u remember

Current owner of your old FK8 checking in! 🤝

Dealerships definitely are willing to sell out of state, and registration for an out of state car in California requires a DMV visit, and smog. It will cost you $1500 for open transport from the east coast.

I Think You Made The Right Choice On Getting The Black!!!!!! Fuck That Car Looks Great!!!!!!!

Does the black paint make the black wing more tolerable?

Man I said it on the forum and I’ll say it here again. In Canada we don’t get black and I love my FL5 in CW but I’d take it in black if I had a choice. It looks so menacing!

congratulation

Congratulations bro

Back in the Hondas again 😊

What’s your opinion on the suspension modes. We all know R is crazy but Is comfort mode super stiff still? I hear conflicting information. I just need to know if comfort is going to be good for daily driving. Or even sport. What’s your take on all 3 modes. Can you compare each mode to the fk8s

Yeah, going back to an FK8 wayyyy over MSRP used is definitely not the move. Good call there. If did not have an FK8 I would be fully focused on getting an FL5. I don't think this one will overheat as bad. That is such a buzzkill. Anyway, see you around! Maybe we'll meet at a socal vs norcal Type R again.

Definitely different than your Supra, except now you can switch cars when you feel like it. (Also adding about the selling out of state thing, it's very true. Tired of these guys from the mid-west claiming how much cheaper they got their car. I went through a similar thing in 2021 when I was shopping for my Supra. Hell, dealerships were so stingy, even a Toyota in LA refused to sell to me because I'm in Nor Cal.)

What’s is the mark up on these, seen some ppl pay 70-80k Wdf

I mean… everything has a markup now. Even Golf R or GTI, civic SI and used FK8. I chose black for mine a year ago because it hide some busy look on FK8. I would like to see appreciation of type R rather than depreciation as an owner you know.. lol anyways.. i love FL5. To me, all type R are good car. FK2, FK8, FL5 i will buy any of it if i can afford. Sometimes, someone’s wife is prettier than mine. I educated “ don’t covet”

Congrats on the car!!! I myself just am not in a financial position to pay markups of 10-25k over MSRP. Call me broke, but at that point we’re talking entry level used Corvette, Supra, and even GT350. But hey if you got the money 💪🏼 do with it what ya please! You earned it not me!

I would’ve put bath towels down on all the seats if it were me and also on the carpet you need to get yourself some weather tech floor mats otherwise that red is going to stain with every touch of a shoe

Miss it your type R KZfaq channel

Contragulation I hope I have mine soon
