  1. EVS Tuning Ball Joint Install!

    I have lower ball joints installed (middle setting) and am on Spoon springs with strut pins pulled. Just had an alignment after getting some new tires installed and I was sitting at around -3.3-3.4 degrees or so before the tech adjusted my upper mounts to get to my -2.5 degree target on the...
  2. Radar Detector Mirror Mount?

    I used a BNR-2001R to mount my Uniden, but it required some cutting of the plastic housing at the mirror stem. I have a FitcamX dash cam that comes with it's own replacement plastic housing pieces in front of the mirror, so I wasn't cutting into the OEM plastics (although they are probably...
  3. Steering Wheel intermittently Vibrate After Steering Rack Replacement

    Just a FYI - the correct wheel nut torque is 94 ft/lbs. At least that is what the consensus online is. That is the correct torque value for the M14 sized wheel nuts on other current Honda models with the same wheel nut size. The 80 ft/lbs value listed in the owner's manual seems to be...
  4. PPF longevity

    As others have said, modern PPF is a lot better of a product compared to 20 years ago (hell, even 10 years ago). I had Suntek Ultra applied on my last car once I took delivery and it was miles better than the PPF I had on a car from 5 years prior. The front bumper PPF did start to look a...
  5. Paragon brake pad for 90% commuter, 10% autox/HPDE

    I have titanium shims and Paragon R3s on the front. The R3s squeal more than any other pad I have had, some of which were more aggressive compounds. Honestly am on the fence about reverting to the OEM pads as it is embarrassingly loud.
  6. Spoon Springs with ITS ADS Module

    I have this combo. I had the same though about going back to the stock ADS module but after riding on this setup for a while I have to say it feels really good for street driving. Roads around me are generally good but around my work are atrocious so I get to experience a wide range of road...
  7. What did you do to your FL5 today?

    Took the FL5 to a 2-day Autocross event this weekend.
  8. Where’s the Aero?

    That Adro kit is probably my favorite looking with all the pieces considered. The rear diffuser and wing look fantastic. I love the front lip, but as others have said it, it will sit really low. I would have to run a different/thinner front lip if I ever went this route.
  9. Interior noises - rattles, creaks, squeaks!

    My car developed a really annoying buzzing on the front passenger side after exhaust + RMM install. I originally couldn't determine if it was coming from the door or B Pillar and it has been getting stronger over time. Sometimes it would happen on the driver side front as well, but rarely. It...
  10. Hatch Rattle, Seat Creaks, Door Rattles and More

    You play music >22? That seems crazy to me, don't think I have been over 12, and that is only with the windows down, haha.
  11. Type-R Wing Leaking?

    Like Cueyo said, I would check all the connection point bolts. I don't know for sure but I would assume there is some type of gasket between the mounting base and the hatch body. Normally this is water tight, either the bolts are loose or the gasket is damaged. I would also check for water...
  12. What did you do to your FL5 today?

    I took the plunge with the BNR-2001R BlendMount that the company says won't fit the Type R after seeing someone else say they successfully installed it with the OEM mirror assembly. I have the FitcamX dash cam, so my situation is a bit different. I had to remove the mirror housing halves for...
  13. Interior noises - rattles, creaks, squeaks!

    I have some sound deadening in that piece already. I think I resolved my primary front rattle the other day. I have a fitcam and was modifying it to use a blendmount for my radar detector. I noticed the front part of the fitcam housing had some play in it, so I placed some foam tape up on the...
  14. Stock alignment question.

    Negative camber can cause additional tire wear, but not always. I was finding that with my driving (mostly street but with an autocross every month or two) I was wearing down the outer shoulders of the tires unevenly on the OEM alignment specs. I am at -2.5 degrees of camber in the front and...
  15. 2023 Championship White FL5 - “Candy” aka Bad Panda

    Clean build so far! How is your lip holding up? I think Aerodynamics lip lasted all of 2 weeks before I had to rip it off (granted, my work's parking entrance is brutal on lips with no way to make it better).
  16. Mugen Wind Visors Noise

    Yep, just more confirmation on an increase in wind noise after installation. I got used to it after a bit and don't think about it anymore.
  17. First FL5 oil change mileage?

    I had to put my jack pads at almost the max spread but honestly it makes it easier to set up. I usually have the front pads pushed all the way forward and the rears like two inches from the backstop.
  18. PRL RMM heavy vibration with AC

    I don't have a tune but this thought crossed my mind when the RMM was freshly in my car, as I was getting heavier idle vibrations. Once the RMM broke in some the vibrations at idle mellowed out so this is no longer a priority. I just have the panel rattles or whatever they are at mostly the...
  19. PRL RMM heavy vibration with AC

    Yeah, that is my issue too. It typically only happens with a hot car and at some mid-low to mid-range RPM (I haven't pinpointed it exactly). I checked my exhaust a few times and there isn't anything loose there. I have the Remark Titanium exhaust and it has all flanged connections that are...
