  1. Windshield Pit

    I have Exoshield, zero issues. While I don't have a ton of miles on it, it's been on the car for over 18 months. Years ago there was a fairly high rate of failure within the first 24 months and the product was hit or miss; however, since then material improvements have been made to polymer...
  2. Windshield Pit

    Unfortunately, you're not repairing pits in the windshield. Even those treatments to fill chips and cracks only puts lipstick on a pig. In other words, it looks slightly better but you can still see it and it's still ugly. You have a couple of options: 1) live with it and once the windshield...
  3. New Exhaust Options

    With so many exhaust systems to choose from, FL5 owners are faced with an embarrassment of riches. We're very fortunate there are over 20 available and I believe if you're serious about purchasing an exhaust there's something for everyone. At this juncture, I'm not sure what waiting will yield...
  4. FL5 vs Elantra N DCT

    M2 for sure, all 3,800+ lbs of it. :thumbsdown:
  5. What type of gas 87 or 91

    Shell is Top Tier. It's always been on the list.
  6. What type of gas 87 or 91

    Regular Unleaded Gasoline is required fuel for the Civic Type R; however, premium is recommended. With that said, you can run 87 octane just fine. Source: American Honda Motor Company
  7. FL5 vs Elantra N DCT

    Price point and functionality typically drive this, so not surprised. Another video, another loss for the Elantra N - what else is new? As bad as some people want the EN to be a true comp to the CTR, it's not. These threads tend to bring out the EN apologists, it's fun.
  8. Hondata Jailbreak Day at The Honda Meet in Ohio

    They were already in GA a few months back. Great turnout. Doubtful they would return so soon.
  9. Any higher-mileage Type R owners here who daily it as their only car, or plan to?

    I’d recommend getting quotes from Saccucci Honda and Hyannis Honda. 8 yr/100k warranty is under 1k. You can call or purchase online and they’ll mail you everything you need. It's a no brainer if you plan to keep the car long term. A couple items to consider: the warranty starts from your in...
  10. What did you do to your FL5 today?

    @Robo7 Here are a few videos. As I mentioned previously, sound is hard to capture without proper audio equipment. Anyhow, better than nothing I suppose. The drive by/in-car videos will be made at some unknown point in the future. Stock Fujitsubo A-RM+C Titanium Exhaust + Front Pipe...
  11. How confident are you about the security system on the Type R?

    The OEM security is lacking as evidenced by FK8s and FL5s being stolen. There are a host of security enhancements out there to be used solo or in combination. https://www.seselectronicssolutions.com/product-page/kill-switch-module https://www.ravelco.com/ https://www.apple.com/airtag/...
  12. What in your opinion is the best exhaust for the FL5?

    Mugen released their "Sports Exhaust System" yesterday. It utilizes a single center outlet, 94mm tip, and dual resonators. No sound /video clips just yet. https://www.mugen-power.com/carparts/news_product/detail/
  13. What did you do to your FL5 today?

    In due time. I've been quite busy lately with other pursuits and work. I ordered from JDMotoring. Excellent customer service / communication - Johnny is responsive to e-mail or text, you can actually get him on the phone which is kind of rare these days. I was shocked by how quickly he was...
  14. Where to buy PPF

    Shop XPEL. Their name is good and they sell pre-cut kits which is what most shops will use if you go in for ppf. If you need a bulk roll (custom) they sell that as well. If you're only looking for coverage for a few parts, I suggest having a shop do it. The cost of materials + effort may likely...
  15. PRL Intake Sound

    It appears you're in Australia. In the U.S. you're fine in most cases with respect to warranty. YMMV.
  16. Genuine Honda Wheels vs "Other"

    Have the wheels refinished. /thread
  17. Mileage check-in.

    950 miles 3/15/2023
