  2. Sporky SideGrades Texas FL5 Type R

    Bummer, man! Glad you’ve got it all sorted though. I’m a little surprised that you had issues with rust in Texas.
  3. FL5 Intercooler Reference Thread

    Yeah, I think it would be difficult to cut that section out and make it look good. That’s why I am considering drilling some evenly spaced holes across the area, somehow I think that might look better. plus, I’ll be shaving weight!🤣
  4. Pilot Sport 4S OE vs "Retail" Pricing

    I have been running the Kumho Ecsta sport s tires on my car since June. I’m very happy with them. Compared to the PS4S, they have way more grip (at least during acceleration) and they’re much quieter and less harsh on rough surfaces. With the OEM tires and a tune, accelerating hard in first and...
  5. FL5 Intercooler Reference Thread

    I was going to ask the same question. I have the PRL tube and fin intercooler and I noticed recently that the 2 lower rows are blocked by that lip. I am considering either cutting it out or drilling some large holes across that lip.
  6. Considering a CTR

    True, these cars are not meant to be dragsters. But a simple tune makes it much more enjoyable, for me anyhow.
  7. Considering a CTR

  9. Opinions on PRL HVI filter

    Oh goddamnit all! I was actually planning on checking my intake tract this weekend to see how the filter is performing. Now I’m going to make sure my stock setup is on hand because if I find dust, I’m going back to OEM. BTW, I have had an oil analysis after running the AEM filter for a few...
  10. Who here has their R as an everyday driver?

    Do you have aftermarket lug nuts? The OEM lug nuts require a 22mm socket.
  11. Forged rims OEM worth it?

    I had the same experience on my 2014 Accord after installing Enkei wheels that were about 7 lbs lighter than stock. Everything I had read beforehand said that lighter wheels improve road noise, but I had the exact opposite outcome. This was with the same tires switched over and nearly the same...

  13. Replacing brake pad and rotor on FL5 Civic Type R - experience and tips

    My advice for the future would be to use a lot less anti seize. A little goes a long way. The more you use, the more it gets all over everything. You can end up looking like the Tin Man if you’re not careful. Also, it’s good to have a little bit on the part of the hub that centers the wheel...
  14. What did you do to your FL5 today?

    If I was into naming my cars, the FL5 would be called ā€œBuzzā€.
