    Send pics of the parking sensors, does it look exactly like oem the holes in the bumpers?
  2. 2026 FL5 Speculation Thread

    I knew this was the last hurray for the Type R petrol only version. I don't think they make any money on the car. I believe it's a loss leader. I don't see many if any cars in the USA without start stop idle in engines. The Savagegeese interview with Honda - Honda mentioned this was to...

    Looks like the FL5 Type R is about to go extinct? Selling for over 100k Euros https://www.motor1.com/news/761779/honda-civic-type-r-dead-europe/

    10W-30 — that’s really interesting. I didn’t realize it’s actually listed in the Honda manual for Australia. I assume ambient temps are much hotter there, and once again it seems Honda is drawing the line at 30-weight oil as the upper limit they'd like to see. That also lines up with what Spoon...

    I found this insight from an oil expert quite interesting. He explained that while moving to a thicker oil can help in some cases, going too thick—like switching from 0W-20 to a 40-weight oil—can cause problems in engines designed for thinner oil. Engines built for 0W-20 typically use...

    Here is someone else that methodically does engine oil analysis and he went down from a thicker oil and slightly above the manufacturer requirements. OEM spec was a 0W-20 he tried all the way up to a 5w40, but realized he's not improving performance or protection and he tracks and modifies his...

    100% agree with this. Lakespeed Junior - Oil Geek guy Proved this in the shoot out with using Napa engine oil, made by Valvoline, and it out performed the more expensive OE Amsoil and Royal Purple. Smoked them both. Go figure. Formulation over Brand name. Data proven. The Valvoline Line of...

    I've heard incredible things about off the shelf Valvoline Extended Protection. It looks like it didn't sheer much at all at 7.25cst at 10,000 miles is excellent. I believe the virgin sample of that oil is about mid 8cst. It's very high in Moly, and very close to the same CST in thickness as...

    Excellent data, I was also looking at this exact oil. For sure track driving is much more abuse and Pennzoil ultra platinum 0w-20 is one of the few engine oils at the highest thickness api sp at 8.8cst for a 0w20 in the virgin oil sample. Looks like it lost 1.4cst over 2200 miles. Thank you for...

    I will try it out and measure results. Do you have any used oil analysis from your 5w30 or 10w30?

    I think I've found the maximum threshold I'm comfortable with for using Honda Ultimate 0W-20 Full Synthetic. It lost approximately 1.4 cSt at 100°C. This was the longest interval I've run it—about 2,500 miles and three very hard track days. COTA definitely felt harsher on the car, and it was...

    yes the rear wheel arches are the only wheel arches in the cabin. Be sure to really blanket all the way around the rear wheel wheels inside all the way up and around the rear passenger airbags. Doing a proper complete job, it’s important. You don’t want to waste your time like I did going back...

    And regarding going up to a 5w30 debate, why didn't you go thicker? Can you share the exact amount you used of the Liqui Moly MOS2 additive?

    I saw the same thing. The initial moly was a lot from the break in oil that came factory filled. Motul 8100 Eco-Clean 0W20 with Liqui Moly MOS2 additive - Very interesting combo! How did you come up with that formula? Curious in your logic to stay with 0W-20 vs go up to a 5w-30 - There is a...

    I spoke to Jason with WOT - He took a look at my engine temps and wear analysis with the Honda OW-20 and my track temps. He said the engine temps and oil are doing extremely well in stock form. The water temp is accurate, and he said the stock car is running cool on both Laguna Seca and at...
