  2. New FL5 engines and transmissions

    Has anyone being able to purchase new engines and/or transmissions from Honda for the Type R, FL5 or FK8? Anyone that’s blown a motor or a transmission what is the typical route for replacement? Was just looking into it in case I would ever need to buy a new engine or transmission for my car...
  3. Florida WTB: OEM Cable Shifter Bushings FL5

    Looking to buy a pair of the OEM cable shifter bushings for an FL5. Destroyed mine when I installed the acuity cable shifter bushings and seems you cant buy these from Honda unless you buy the cables with them. if anyone has the complete pair from when they removed and installed upgraded...
  4. Debris in Oil Change - am I cooked fellas

    I just did my 9k mile oil change as well and didn’t notice anything significant come out this time around at all. Still took a sample and sending off to blackstone. One thing I noticed though was when I wiped off the outside of the oil pain from excess oil that got on it..I noticed tiny flakes...
  5. FL5 Type R: PPF Poll???

    Entire front clip of my car has PPF. Well worth the money imo. Rock chips are a thing of the past
  6. Are these cars actually reliable?

    Owned Hondas my whole life. I’ve owned 3 different generation of Accords (99’ 4 cylinder, 05’ V6, and 21’ 2.0T) 2 S2000’s (1 of which I still currently own), 1 base manual 08’ civic, and now my FL5. To be completely honest, I have found issues with every single one of them with the exception...

  8. Jester’s Hondata thread

    Been almost a year now on Jesters track tune and still loving it! I promise @Jester04 im still gonna get with you for a custom tune šŸ˜‚ I didn’t plan on waiting this long from when we met, life has gotten in the way! Do you happen to now a good shop in Orlando that you trust? I’m looking to bleed...
  9. How do you keep your type R clean?

    I probably only drive my car once or twice a week. Has full front clip PPF and is garage kept which helps greatly! I’m absolutely anal about keeping my cars clean though and I take pride in always having a clean car. So, every time I drive it, when I get home I use spray detailer or spray wax...
  10. Constant Rush of air while engine is on

    It’s the radiator fans pulling air into the engine bay
  11. About to pull the trigger on a 25. Help me cross the line.

    That’s a lot of questions 🤣 as far as the driving dynamics of a front wheel drive car, unless you are consistently drifting, used to swinging the tail out on a rear drive car, or constantly launching the car at lights or drag racing, you won’t notice it much. I drive an S2000 and FL5. I get...
  12. Favorite MTF? - Amsoil, Redine, Motul, Torco, Honda, etc.

    Recently switched to Amsoil 75w-90 transaxle and trans fluid. It’s different from the Amsoil manual synchromesh fluid. So far so good! Wasn’t getting any grinds but 3rd and 4th were feeling ā€œoddā€ and bit crunchier than usual after 8k miles on the original Honda MTF. Both 3rd and 4th are silky...
  13. FL5 S3 Suspension Coilover Review

    The fitment looks šŸ‘Œ! Nice review..I’m very hesitant to touch the suspension on the R as I personally find it really good stock. Will definitely take these into consideration though if I ever decide to make the jump
  14. Engine Rattle Under Boost?

    I don’t notice any rattle under boost but while decelerating, in the 3-4k rpm range, these cars do have a distinct engine vibration/resonance that can cause stuff to rattle. There are some pronounced vibrations while accelerating also that’s due to the unbalanced nature of this engine. Not...
  15. Do you OWN your Type R?

    Put a large down payment on mine and financed the rest. I see the argument for buying a car cash to avoid interest, however, I personally can’t justify removing 50k from my bank, which has been earning significant interest the last couple years, or selling investments to pay for a depreciating...
  16. Head-to-Head comparison of tunes for stock FL5 cars. Round 2.

    nice! Appreciate the math on that…seems like it really doesn’t make a significant difference so that’s good to know! Overthinking is my personal pastime šŸ˜‚ā€¦was interesting to see the math on it that ProjectDD did above…no significant difference either way so that’s cool know. Just always...
  17. Head-to-Head comparison of tunes for stock FL5 cars. Round 2.

    I think what I said is being misread. I didn’t say I was filling with 87. In my area, all three grades of gas (87,89, and 93) all use the same nozzle. I’ve actually never seen a gas pump with one nozzle per grade of gas. Most people who drive fill with 87. It’s a safe assumption that the...
  18. Head-to-Head comparison of tunes for stock FL5 cars. Round 2.

    @Jester04 or anyone for that matter, could yall maybe shed light on this question for me. seeing as these tunes require a certain octane fuel (93 in my case) and since more than likely a little bit of 87 octane will be going into the gas tank from what’s left in the line from the person fueling...
  19. Head-to-Head comparison of tunes for stock FL5 cars. Round 2.

    that number on the bottom is just an average. Peak power seems to be around the 280-290 whp mark which seems typical for a stock FL5
