  1. I wanted a miniature version of my car, so my wife got me another thing to obsessively detail

    I have a hunch there is a thin profit margin on these. They may have to wait for interest in a product, for example they start with boost blue which I preordered. Once they have enough preorder revenue, they can secure profit and the cost of production in one go. It's a form of a group buy...
  2. I wanted a miniature version of my car, so my wife got me another thing to obsessively detail

    At least she got it for MSRP! It's from: https://otto-models.com/ It's RHD / JDM, I mirrored the photos to appear LHD. It's completely static. Nothing moves including the wheels. But it is very nicely detailed. The $5 license plates are not worth it. They are faded and I could have made better...
  3. Trying a rinseless carwash (ONR)

    It seems recent that so many "what is your favorite product" discussions start with ONR. Is it somewhat new? What are the differences in revisions? How on earth does the stuff rip the space time continuum to zap dirt from existence? Our results on a few different vehicles:

    Appreciated! But I ended up going with the Bonoss spacers: https://www.civicxi.com/forum/threads/25mm-x-20mm-bonoss-spacers-install-video-and-pics.56645/
  5. 25mm x 20mm Bonoss Spacers Install Video and Pics

    I recently installed Spoon Progressive springs along with Bonoss spacers, 25mm x 20mm. Just wanted to share an install vid that shows the final configuration. Install was pretty straight forward: -spray with brake cleaner -add a drop of blue threadlock to the OEM studs -place the spacer...
  6. Mid / large resonator delete + open active exhaust valve (sound clips)

    One thing that's interesting is I did not notice how audible that valve flap noise is until I was playing with it and recording audio clips. Anyway I recently removed the mid resonator and fixed the active exhaust valve to the open position. The car sounds really good now without being...
  7. Spoon Progressive Springs Installed

    Thanks! I just got the mid resonator removed and posted some sound comparison clips on youtube: Front is a hair over 25 1/2" and the rear just under 25 3/4" . Is this the actual rake measurement? Rear arch is about an eighth to a sixteenth inch higher.
  8. Spoon Progressive Springs Installed

    Just installed my Spoon Sports Progressive springs with my father-in-law. At first it didn't look much lower, and there wasn't noticeable difference in the ride. After about a week, the springs settled and the ride was more bouncy in R+ mode. I typically drive in Comfort as I enjoy the...
  9. The FL5 Dealer ADM Markup Thread

    I just bought a boost blue FL5 from Woodland Hills Honda. $53,900 OTD. Worked out to about 48K base price. They just got another 2024 FL5 in black, and the other boost blue is still in the showroom.
