Congrats! Make sure they took out the shipping blocks in the front springs. my dealer just contacted me today and said ETA moved up to 12/7 - 12/11. Long Island NY

From dealer in Long Island NY, stated my was last tracked in NY. Also stated he had a customer CRV that was due in 10 days arrive yesterday. Hopefully any day now instead of the estimate of 12/15 - 12/20 Cant wait to drive it!

Noice! Patchogue for me. Manhasset only about 40 minutes away on the Island.

I don’t know, the sound is kind of soothing. Reminds me of sitting on the front porch in a rocking chair, sun going down, with a beer in hand and my best hound lying next to me :)

Is the pic above with the 275’s and the spacer offsets spec’s above (10mm rear, 5mm front)?

^^^ Looks awesome! The day the un-disguised pictures of the FL5 came out I was at the dealer putting down my name. Always liked the idea of the Type R and the reviews were always positive about the driving experience. The style now compliments all of that goodness.

:(:oops::mad: Nah, actually I get it. I hope so too for all of you central US states. As long as I get the car by March, lease for the Alfa is up in April, then I’m ok, but not thrilled in the least.

According to this article, once the rail carriers stop accepting shipments of chemical, such as chlorine for drinking water treatment then the strike will be happen in about 96 hours https://www.cnbc.com/2022/11/23/with-unions-aligned-rail-strike-emergency-planning-timeline-is-clear.html

I had the Sly Brackets shipped. Hopefully will have the car towards end of December and see how well it works out.

ETA of 12/15 - 12/20 hopefully the poss early December rail strike doesn’t screw it up Long Island NY

Once you move down to a 255/35/R19 the all season tire size options become much more plentiful. diameter increases slightly by 0.7”, no biggie. As for width, since they are all seasons the reduction of less than 1/2” of tread width is insignificant...

Yep, however I did find on a different car I owned that short periods of time in as low as 30degrees F it did not cause cracking. Definitely need to change tire compound for safety if you are in cold climate. Bought Bridgestone Potenza 980AS for the winter driving.

Small population out there and two cars with the same issue; concerning :oops:

Warranty time. Let us know how it turns out

based on some posts I wonder if this article speaks to the delivery delay. Never realized how screwed the US rail system is right now. https://www.scmr.com/article/stb_chairman_oberman_assesses_freight_rail_conditions_and_service_at_railtr/news

Right now no eta ? can you share a dealership you know of in the tri-state area that received a CTR (NY, NJ, CT)?

UPDATED 11/18 with weight Just received these Volk‘s today! Thanks System Motorsports. TE37SL Pressed Graphite, 9.5“ 18” diameter 45 offset. Wheel weight = 17.5lb Bridgestone Potenza RE980AS 255/40/R18 = 29lb Now Honda just needs to get this dam FL5 delivery problem to the East Coast fixed so...

im sure you already know this OP but be aware of the additional charges that dealers are using to push up the price such as documentation fees. Some states have legal limitations to the max that can be charged and some do not. The dealer may charge you 7500 then add 500 in documentation fees...

The pics are making me more impatient than ever to get delivery! Keep ‘em coming!

Looks great!
