The FK8 is the first Civic Type R to come to the states, and it’s without a doubt the best Civic Type R ever. Not only is it significantly more powerful than any other Civic Type R before it, but the chassis is exceptionally well balanced, the brakes are great, and the overall performance is superb. It’s arguably the best front-wheel-drive car ever produced. Enthusiasts know that even the best cars in the world can always be improved upon.
One of the first mods for many turbocharged cars is an upgraded exhaust system. By increasing exhaust flow, the turbocharger can spool up faster, resulting in decreased lag, plus the turbo can ultimately spin faster and make more overall boost. On this particular FK8 you’ll find an Armytrix downpipe and an HKS Legamax exhaust system. The combination of these two offers awesome sound and increased flow.
Another popular modification, especially for the FK8, is an upgraded set of wheels. From the factory, the FK8 uses 20” wheels which is a little big and disproportionate to the rest of the vehicle, making smaller 18” or 19” wheels incredibly popular. This particular FK8 features GramLights 57Transcend wheels in 19×9.5. To top everything off and squeeze as much power as possible out of the vehicle, this FK8 uses our VR Tuned ECU flash.
