I have a full set of cloth+leather hatchback seats for FL5 I will give to anyone for free. I don't have the needed lap buckle - I forgot to remove it from my CTR when I traded it in this past summer. I'm in Erie, PA - pick up only. Full disclosure: the seats smell. When I finally picked up...

Forgot to mention these were 5X120 for Type R and come with lug nuts and hub centric rings.

Apprx 3000 miles on the wheels, 5000 miles on the tires. $1300 OBO, local pickup in Erie PA area - may be up for meeting in between. Sparco Podio 18X8.0 ET45, gloss black with fake Type R center caps. Like new except few small chips on one wheel which has been touched up. Michelin Pilot Alpin...

That's the one! It has that autobahn blaster kind of feel to it. I'm still discovering tech features that I'm surprised it had for its original price point.

Well, update here. I traded my CTR for a Buick today :dunno: The CTR had the same issue this year that the GRC had last year. Sitting in the garage next to the GR86 it's just not fun enough to justify it. Obviously it's way faster and a ton of fun when you're ripping it. But for how I use it...

Wow man, sucks to hear. You Must not have discussed it on the forums because I’d probably have remembered the massive victim blame circlejerk.. “bet you didn’t check your oil!”

Thanks man. You blew two engines!?! On the track I guess??

I've owned cars with problematic manuals and know what it feels like for one to be sensitive to "perfect inputs or else grind." My FL5 definitely does not require perfect shift behavior. I've done plenty of sloppy driving (huge G force and slippery shift knob FTL!) and I've never had a grind...

Yeah at best they would do the clutch pedal adjustment, so go for it and see. Quick questions for folks that get grinds often - is it usually when the trans is cold? Or will it do it after you've been driving a while and doesn't matter about gear oil temp? I've never gotten a grind but 1-2 and...

Hey what’s the consensus on oil overfill with these K20C1s? My first change ended up filled a little over, close to the top of the orange part. Didn’t think anything of it coming from Subarus where it’s known to be healthy to overfill a smidge. Checking today it seems even higher - prob fuel...

Imagine buying a car for $75k and then 2 years later you're lucky to get $40k for it on a trade. every German brand be like:

Knowing well how engines work, I would never run less than 91 in this engine or honestly any turbo or high compression engine. 93 is available to me and I would never use below that. There are some places around me that have 92 as the maximum - I would not put that in my tank and feel sorry...

It's hard to describe exactly why but purpose built sports cars, no matter how basic I think will always have a little X-factor advantage over something like the Type R, since Type R for example is based on a car meant to be practical, efficient and comfortable above all else. I've discussed in...

Hmm, valve clearance check at 74,500 mi eh? You know you've got a gnarly vehicle when there is a valve job in the routine maintenance schedule.

Haha, right. But I don't doubt them. Last I worked numbers with them was in November before I got mine elsewhere, and they wouldn't budge from $5k then. I talked to my guy there and he confirmed MSRP but mentioned it being for "the end of the month," which is now. Something to keep in mind. And...
