I don’t have an Si to test this, but the FL5 has the same shifter as the Si (from my understanding). AC and ventilation system is most likely the same too. I don’t know man. I’ve driven manual vehicles for the last ~20 years straight. The AC has never affected the shifter in any car (or truck)...

There’s no technical reason running AC could make your shifter more notchy. The engine turns the AC compressor pulley when the AC is on. This is why your revs will drop a little faster. Running AC puts an additional load on the engine. This should have no effect on the shifter itself. And no...

@TW00Si Exactly! I think the Civic platform is probably considered an intermediate sized car now and no longer a compact. Maybe the 10th gen is when it happened? I feel like the 8th and 9th gen were likely still considered compacts. By today’s standards your ‘99 Civic DX might almost fall into...

It’s kinda ridiculous how big cars have gotten over the last 10 years, let alone 20 years. 10 yr old cars have a lot of the same safety stuff available today, so safety can’t be the entire source of the bloat. Don’t get me wrong, I love my FL5, but I also kinda miss the smallness of older cars...

@1971Camaro Sooo…good thing you don’t have the Acura.?

It’s just the body panels overhang the front and back a little more. It’s the styling. Obviously they didn’t stretch the chassis 6”. LOL!

Early 2023 “Don’t pay crazy ADM’s!” Late 2023 “Don’t pay crazy high interest rates!” It’s a financial mine field. Be careful.

Congrats! Though I have my FL5, I can’t help but stare when I see an Si. The sedan body is really nice looking, especially with the sporty touches the Si gets. Add the OEM rear deck lip/spoiler…it’s just…?

Yeah, I love black and think it’s the best color for like 80% of vehicles. My first car was black. It was also my last black car. I learnt quickly! ?

@two24studios CW is definitely a light cream color and not a pure/neutral white. I need to read up on it because this thread makes me curious about its origin and history.? Initially I thought I wanted SGP, but am really glad I got CW. It’s the FL5’s only unique color and my Si sedan (owned...

Exactly @Clark_Kent I’ve said it before : These aren’t the same thing as run-of-mill Camrys, Malibus, or Altimas sitting on lots that a dealership might have a blow-out sale on. That kind of thing just doesn’t really apply to limited production, performance, “specialty” vehicles. If a...

This is true. Manufacturers make running changes to parts (even when there isn’t an official model change). As you said, sometimes they do this to fix small quirks and things of that nature. These minor updates can occur any time during a production run, regardless of MY. Other times...

@VarmintCong Japanese proverb : Your arms can rest when they’re done driving.?

There’s some things I like and don’t like about the Mugen kit. It is unique and I love the e-x-t-e-n-s-i-v-e attention to detail. I’m sure part of the reason it looks the way it does is because it is truly functional. Quality will be top notch. No question. Thanks for posting @AspecR

Makes sense because Midwest is pretty much the slowest to get allocations versus the coasts, so there’s fewer for sale in the region. For example, my dealership got my car in mid Feb (first allocation). They just got their 2nd allocation last week.

It was probably a real person’s job to create and publish it, but they made zero effort to fact check or anything. They just posted whatever the AI came up with. Keep in mind AI will only be as smart and specific as the user asks it to be, just like using a search engine.

I’m pretty positive it is AI written. There’s just no way even an amateur writer would make so many errors. What appears to have happened is the AI is mixing info from the classic Integra Type R and applying it to the new Type S. It’s lazy editing which should’ve be done by a human, tho.?

Good review and pretty much follows what folks have been saying the last few months. GRC is more raw and playful. CTR is more refined and technical. Both are great in their own ways. Because they are so different, it’d be ideal to get both (as some people have)! ?

Awesome! Thanks so much for the details. Super helpful! @s2kdriver80 It’s funny, but leather / leather oil DOES smell good!

@s2kdriver80 Yeah, I like the overall understated look and feel of the FL5 wheel, but Honda should’ve made it a little more premium and differentiated. I’m pretty positive it’s the exact same wheel as found in normal Civics and other vehicles like the CR-V ; The only thing different is the red...
