When Honda introduced the new Type-R series in 2017 I had to have one. They don\u2019t bring that name to the U.S. often, so when you have a chance to snatch up a beautiful piece of machinery such as this, you DO IT. Originally I planned on keeping her completely stock but as time passed I began to see the significant strides others were making with FBO\u2019s (Full Bolt On\u2019s) without molesting the car into oblivion. I decided it was my turn to throw myself into the fray of upgrading fun.<\/p>\n

Bookmark this thread everyone, I think you\u2019ll like what\u2019s going to happen here!<\/p>\n

Update 04\/30\/2023<\/strong><\/h3>\n

While I had big plans for this car, other things took priority. I ended up trading her in for the new 2023 Honda Civic Type-R dubbed “Anjel”. You can follow her development progress here: DIY: Project Anjel<\/a>. While I miss some of the outer styling’s of Roxy, I love the tech in Anjel and plan on making some modifications of my own. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Update 09\/01\/2019<\/strong><\/h3>\n

New shoes for Roxy. This is the first modification that was a need (definitely not a want) for this lady. The OEM (Original Equipment Manufactured) wheels are nice but, functionally just not feasible for everyday American roads, especially those found in Michigan! I wrapped them in Michelin Pilot Sport S tires at 255\/35\/ZR19 (96Y) inflated to 32lbs.<\/p>\n

This change completed changed how the car felt and it was a vast improvement over the stock tire and wheel setup. More grip, more durability, more everything. Response was great, ride the best. No rubbing, no torque-steer.<\/p>\n

Here are some pictures of the final product:<\/p>\n

Some nice BBS\u2019.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I choose BBS CH-R, 19\u2033x9\u2033 wheels with a +47 offset. They break up the black very nicely and give the car a much better look. Here are some additional angles for you to drool over.<\/p>\n

Front Wheel Turn.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

From the Back.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Straight Side.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Offset line look.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

45 degree line look.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Straight down the side. Most like that flush look, but I prefer to play it safe and lessen my scuffing and rubbing chances. This is perfect.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Close up with turn.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Straight on.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Close up with full turn in the well. No issues. Love it.<\/p>\n
