Let's not take up too much of your precious time; our workshop was filled up with more major works this week - the amount of gearboxes we're doing recently is crazy! We're going to skip right over a workshop refresh and take a look at some fresh products that our website this week!

Hasport Engine Mount Kit -FL5 Type R
The Hasport Performance engine mount kit for the FL5 Type R replaces the stock left, right and rear mounts, designed to blend strength and style with a lifetime warranty for worry-free use and available in four different bushing durometers for applications ranging from daily driver to drag car.
If you are looking for stock-like ride we suggest replacing only the rear mount. This will control the majority of the engine movement without the harshness of the full kit. It will also extend the life of the OEM left and right mounts.

PRL Under-Body Braces (Middle & Rear) - FK8 Type R
PRL Motorsports have recently released some new products for the FK8 Type R - a set of chassis braces that fit to the middle and rear of the FK8!
Unibody vehicles like the Honda Civic have many benefits; they are comfortable, reliable and lightweight. But if you are looking for a more exciting driving experience, stiffness and rigidity are not their strong points. Under heavy lateral loads, these unibody chassis are designed to be compliant, which is not ideal for spirited daily commutes or tight aggressive cornering while at the track. PRL now offers a solution to fix this issue.
These braces bolt into key structural points of the chassis and lock them in place, limiting chassis movement and increasing chassis rigidity. Our brace attaches to the frame rails behind the rear wheel line, to stiffen the rear end of your Civic, and allow for precise handling and easier rotation in corners.
The brace bars are constructed of 304 Stainless Steel and TIG welded for ultimate strength and longevity. In addition, all the fittings and adapters used to mount the bars are also constructed from 304 Stainless. We included Grade 10.9 mounting hardware, so that even when exposed to harsh conditions, these Chassis Brace Kits will stand the test of time with excellent corrosion resistance.

Limited Slip Differential - FK2, FK8, FL5
An LSD is a must have item for front-engine front-wheel drives. The original helical LSD installed in the stock vehicle is designed to accommodate both sports driving and comfort at an acceptable level, Spoon wanted to make it better, especially for performance focused driving.
The solution is a custom designed mechanical LSD. After numerous testing under various driving stages, we are proud to offer our 1.5 WAY mechanical LSD, ON 50°/OFF 20°cam angle settings with initial torque setting of 5.0〜6.0kg.
Spoon's LSD is equipped with a clutch plate to minimize gear chattering, significantly improving daily-driving performance compared to conventional mechanical LSDs.
This LSD fits the FK2, FK8 and FL5 Type R! We suspect this will be a very popular upgrade for serious track drivers.
