The AutoRev app: AL voice mode for a 2023 Civic Type R

The new AutoRev app in voice mode. The answer recreates a real AL answer.1

Recording: in AL voice mode someone asks “What’s the lug nut torque on my Type R?”. AL answers out loud: 94 foot-pounds, 127 newton meters, for your 2023 Civic Type R. That’s higher than the regular Civic’s 80 foot-pounds, so don’t go by a generic Honda spec. The numbers 94 lb-ft and 127 Nm stay on screen.

Meet AL

Hey, I’m AL.

AutoRev’s AI master tech. Tell him what you drive once, and every answer after that is for your car: the year, the trim, the miles, the mods.

ALWhat do you drive?

The new AutoRev app: you say “’23 Honda Civic Type R”, AL shows the 2023 Civic Type R FL5, 315 hp, verified, and adds it to your garage

AL: What do you drive?

  • Knows your exact car

    2023 Civic Type R FL5, 315 hp, verified

    Not “a Civic”. The trim, the engine, the numbers Honda publishes for it.

  • Tell him once

    Then everything fits your car

    Its year, trim, miles and mods, in every number, reminder and answer.

How it worked (5)

  1. 1Knows your exact car

    2023 Civic Type R FL5, not “a Civic”

    K20C1 2.0L turbo · 315 hp · 6-speed manual. Your garage loads before AL says a word.

    cars.platform_code = FL5

  2. 2Priced and sequenced for your car

    Brakes, then wheels and tires, then a tune

    The right order, with what each step costs.

  3. 3Every number has a source

    Stock pads fade after 6–7 hard laps

    Each fact is cited, so you can check it.

  4. 4Tells you what not to buy

    Skip the intake alone, the short shifter and coilovers

    For now. Save the money and the weekends.

  5. 5Says “not verified” instead of guessing

    “I couldn’t confirm that either tune is emissions-legal.”

    Then it tells you how to check: look for a CARB EO number.

The AutoRev app: AL answering “Will a catless downpipe pass California smog?”

The new AutoRev app in voice mode. AL’s spoken answer recreates a real one.8

  • Never bluffs

    It says no when the answer is no.

    “No. A catless downpipe will fail California smog on your 2023 Type R (FL5), and it’s illegal to run on the street in all 50 states.”

  • Legal before you buy

    It checks for a CARB EO, and tells you when there isn’t one.

    “I searched and found no downpipe for the FL5 with a CARB EO, catted or catless.”

Exact specs, not a generic chart“What’s the lug nut torque spec?”

A generic answer

The lug nut torque for the 2023 Honda Civic is 80 ft-lbs (108 Nm).

AL, for your Type R

94 ft-lb (127 N·m) for your 2023 Civic Type R.

80 ft-lb is the regular Civic’s spec. On a Type R that’s 14 ft-lb short on every lug nut.3

The AutoRev app: AL answering “What brake fluid should I run for a track day?”

The new AutoRev app in voice mode. AL’s spoken answer recreates a real one.8

  • For your car, not every car

    Honda spec is DOT 3. For the track, a high-temperature DOT 4.

    “The two usual picks are Motul RBF 600 and Castrol SRF.”

  • Says what it can’t confirm

    It tells you which numbers are from memory.

    “These boiling points are from manufacturer specs as I remember them, not from AutoRev’s data. Check the bottle.”

Getting ready, checked off

Notes

  1. Phones show the new AutoRev app (coming soon). The voice call recreates AL’s real text answer to the lug-torque question (Oct 9, 2026 test run) in voice mode’s number style.
  2. Real AL answer to “What should my first mods be on my Type R?” from AutoRev’s Oct 9, 2026 test run (25.3 seconds), replayed in the new app design at its real pace. One cut, marked on screen, skips a few seconds while AL works. One line about tune gains is left out (…); AutoRev has since corrected that estimate.
  3. The generic answer is AutoRev’s own from an earlier Oct 9, 2026 test, before AL looked up the car: it searched the web for the 2023 Honda Civic and returned the regular Civic’s figure. AL’s 94 ft-lb (127 N·m) comes from AutoRev’s record for the 2023 Civic Type R, sourced to Honda’s owner’s manual.
  4. Estimates use AutoRev’s performance model and say how sure they are. Costs are typical parts prices before install.
  5. Car footage is computer-generated for illustration. AL is AutoRev’s character. AutoRev isn’t affiliated with Honda; names are used only to identify the car.
  6. Selectable year, make, model and trim combinations in AutoRev’s database, Oct 9, 2026.
  7. Garage screens show a sample garage. Recalls are NHTSA’s campaigns for the 2023 Honda Civic; 24V744000 (steering gearbox) includes the Civic Type R.
  8. Sound: the voices are synthetic recreations of the real AL answers above, said the way AL’s voice mode says numbers. Each call’s card states that answer’s own figures: 94 lb-ft, the catless downpipe failing smog, about 371 hp (+47 tune, +9 intake, an estimate), DOT 4 for the track.
  9. The Meet AL film and the “Your car’s own agent” jobs show the new AutoRev app as it’s being built. AutoRev is coming soon to iPhone and Android; nothing on this page is live yet.
