The first time I became a fan of Honda was in 1978 when my Dad bought a new Accord coupe. It looked really cool. Much different from the offerings from the US makers at the time. I remember spending much time in the passenger seat watching him row through the gears, which, at the time seemed...

I really dig the Alcantara dash.

While I had mine at the Dealer to get the Alcantara accessory wheel installed I asked about that. The service advisor spoke to several techs who said it was normal. /shrug

I know Hondata can jailbreak the ECU as it would have to be to use any of their ECU port tuning products. From what I have read their turn around time is pretty swift. 1-3 days I believe.

I have yet to do anything to my FL5. Does anyone have opinions on Hondata vs KTuner?

I need to get some door protectors. I have the Mugen vent visors, but they create a HUGE amount of wind noise, at least in my opinion.

I curbed my LF last week. I used some rough sandpaper to smooth it out and shot it with a bit of high temp flat black.

In ammendem, saw a lot of signs saying " slow, curves ahead, 15 mph." I read that as "Challenge accepted!". Damn I love this platform.

I went for another three-hour rip through hilly roads—this time in the WVA panhandle. Discovered some wonderful roads and had a burger at this place (for all you western MD'ers if you know you know)

Is that the Honda Accessory one? I just had one put on 2 weeks ago. Absolutely LOVE it compared to the OE leather wheel.

Picked up my car last month. 2023 CTR with 12k miles for 42k. The previous owner had installed aftermarket steering wheel and shift knob (the originals were in boxes in the hatch). They also had installed full front STEK PPF, including on the windshield. I did get the Alcantara accessory wheel...

Congrats! I picked up my FL5 just a few weeks ago. It is not new, 2023 with 12k miles on it. I was looking into PPF as well until I washed it for the first time and happily found that the previous owned had already installed full front end STEK, including the windshield. I don't know what that...

53 Here. Long-time veteran of Japanese performance cars. '91 Honda CRX, '94 Acura Integra, then a long gap....... 2010 Subaru WRX and lastly my recently purchased '23 Type R.

I took mine out for a 2+ hour rip in the hills of Western MD. Got some nice views too.
