  1. Wheel Alignment

    Is the car lowered? If the shop does not have an In-Ground alignment rack and you are lowered on something like Swift theres a chance it could be too low and drag the front bumper driving up it. Lowered car friendly: Not Lowered Car friendly:
  2. The FL5 Civic Type R Wheel Spacer Reference Thread

    Swapped the stock wheels back on with 20mm spacers front and rear with Swift Springs.
  3. Hondata FL5 FlashPro released

    All signed up for June 7th in Chicago:drive:
  4. Missed shift 3rd to 2nd with resulting added NVH

    I can almost guarantee the engine is fine. There's not going to be any bearing issues from this, its not like you spun it to 10k rpm lol. Did you look under the car and check the RMM or any other mounts to see if the sudden jerk loosened anything up? A money shift adds a ton of stress to the...
  5. Head-to-Head comparison of tunes for stock FL5 cars. Round 2.

    Why would this be an issue? Curious because I have not heard this before.
  6. Daily driver pads

    If you dont need anything crazy and dont plan to drive the car hard to take it to the track, get some ceramic pads and call it a day. Rockauto has some Akebono Ceramics that would work
  7. Offsets and Driving Experience

    https://www.civicxi.com/forum/threads/enlightening-read-on-wheel-offset-and-effects-on-suspension-and-steering.52704/ A lot of this has been covered here and I said my peace on it. I will laugh at the comment that the people saying there is minimal change don't drive hard enough. Nearly all...
  8. Fortune Auto (VHLS)

    I would be curious if they took the car out on a track or just drove around spirited backroads or canyons to determine this. As you stated, with the 2.5k rates I can easily see this causing more roll and dive under braking when track driving. Hell when I tracked the stock suspension it had a lot...
  9. Steering Wheel intermittently Vibrate After Steering Rack Replacement

    As the steering rack was failing it could have thrown the front end slightly out of alignment. Did you check to see if the tires had any abnormal wear or slight cupping starting? That can cause a slight vibration in the wheel at certain speeds while everything else seems normal. This is an...
  10. Fortune Auto (VHLS)

    Please share what they tell you because Im curious myself :thumbsup:
  11. Fortune Auto (VHLS)

    These were interesting but seemed to be a little too expensive for me to try. My ideal setup would be something like this with actually good spring rates. Im not sure the 2K is right and 5K would still be too soft for an ideal setup thats multi purpose daily and track use. The stock...
  12. Regamasters - Tarmac vs Normal?

    It may depend on your tire size and if you have the strut pins pulled for extra camber. Im running 18x9.5 +38 on swift with 265/35 and its really flush in the front but no rubbing. Running a 275 may cause some slight rub. Back should have no issues
  13. Where’s the Aero?

    You're the one coming in here asking us what it is and when we tell you, you say it must be something else. Varis sells the lip and the CF splitter piece that extends out. Thats whats on the blue car you posted, and I wasn't being a smartass I just dont know what you mean... There is no exposed...
  14. Where’s the Aero?

    What do you mean "Not sure Varis has a good line to paint" Its the Varis lip paint matched. You can tell by the hard edge that transitions near the outside by the wheel arches,
  15. Where’s the Aero?

    Looks like the Varis with the extension on it and paint matched.
  16. Thoughts on the Milltek vs AWE exhaust ??

    You can see the factory valve settings here: https://www.civicxi.com/forum/threads/there%E2%80%99s-a-reason-honda-made-active-exhaust-don%E2%80%99t-disable.53334/post-887033 In short the valve controller doesnt really do anything factory settings cant do. If you drive in comfort the valve will...
  17. Thoughts on the Milltek vs AWE exhaust ??

    I actually bought the exhaust from 02Silver above and have played around the resonator vs non res setup. After learning how the factory valve setup works Ive kept it in the non-res setup ever since as the overrun crackles sound the best. When driving in comfort mode it will keep the valve...
