In this video, I show how I have dampened and fixed the B Pillar Seat Belt rattling in my FL5 CTR.
By using a suede like adhesive interior trim on the seat belt adjuster trim and I was able to isolate and fix a lot of the rattles so I hope this helps everyone with the same problem.

Its been a good 18-20 months since I’ve had the car.
Just realised the cabin filter wasn’t changed so this popular JDM filter was used to give me fresh clean air 😂
The trifecta of installation videos have finally been released for the 無限 Mugen Group A Body kit.
There is still the bumper garnish to go but these are the ones readily available for most people.
I tried keeping these as short as possible as I wanted to the videos to be short and to the point...
On to my third strut brace now 😂
Aesthetics wise (Blitz > Tanabe > Cusco)
Sturdiness wise (Cusco > Tanabe > Blitz)
In saying that this Blitz bar is way sturdier than the FK8 one they had.
I don’t think anyone has covered the Blitz Carbon Intake System yet.
These are essentially the GruppeM without the K&N filter.
Very solid system in general, loved the fact it had a secondary source of air like the FK8 Eventuri’s had.
Sounds great and after 2500rpm the car keeps pulling well...
This cargo net is for the FK8 but fits the FL5 well.
I’ve found with the FK8 and the plastic boot tray that things slid around everywhere so this cargo net really helped with this problem.
Always hated the horn on the FK8 as it wasn’t forceful but the FL5 is unfortunately the same.
Mitsuba is the oem horn provider for our cars so it made sense to go for their after market series.
If you are removing the bumper for any reason its best to install it then!
Had the bonnet open with the engine on and when I was working on the car I found another rattle 😂
This one was an easy fix so do it as a preventative if rattles bother you.
Another day, another rattle 😂
While doing the Seeker Short Shifter I found that the centre console was very flimsy and rattly.
You might as well start firming up the console best I can while it is out.
I missed my Kakimoto exhaust from the S15 so I’ve decided this time for the FL5 I’ll get one.
The sound is very mild with an Apexi GT Front Pipe and the exhaust has been top notch quality as you’d expect from Kakimoto in Japan.
Another key decider was the three tips hence going this route...
Part Two of One for the Seeker install - Seeker Super Shift Collars aka shifter base bushings.
Having had this combo for 2 weeks now on the FL5, I can confirm its a nice and solid shifting experience overall.
Having had this setup for the FK8, this is a very nice option for those not wanting to go the full shifter option from Acuity and Hybrid.
Seeker are well known for their Honda tuning and parts and this is another loved mod for the Manual Hondas in Japan.
With the Turbo install gaining momentum, Titanium studs from Two Step Performance were a must for me to ensure you have all areas of the install covered.
4 for the Exhaust side
4 for the Engine Side
2 for the Inlet side (smaller)
Do it right the first time is always a good mantra to live by...
It was a bit of a gripe when buying a car that there wasn’t any liner in the boot well which made an expensive car feel “cheap”
The liner has both functions, one for keeping things in place as a compartment and the other as an insulating layer.
The FL4 liner fits perfect in the FL5 and...
Another awesome product from Australia 🦘
This time I’ve tried out the Alplus Aeroguards for the Fender vents and I must say I’m impressed!
It’s really awesome to see different price points from which we can choose from for the fender vent solution.
Spoon Air Cleaner X PRL Stage 1 Intake Hose Kit
Definitely a good combo in my books before the big boys like Eventuri and GruppeM release their air intakes.
