How are these lips holding up? Have you guys smacked or scraped them on anything yet? I've been eying the V2 version.

Yeah I agree that it will be tough to keep the Alcantara wheel clean but having more grip on the wheel for track use is something I was looking for. It's not a necessity but should help. I've heard varying results on longevity with regular cleaning so I was willing to try my luck with...

This exact thing happened to me too and I am/was very upset with myself. I was wearing sweatpants with zip up pockets, which were not zipped up and must have snagged the zipper on the lower left hand side of the wheel while getting into the car. I can't see it normally but I can feel it and it...

Thanks for your input but you are off topic. Feel free to start a separate thread if you want to.

@CaryH a lot of really smart people and most professional motorsport teams disagree with you. I've been doing string alignments on all my cars for a while now and haven't had any issues. I would encourage you to check out some of the HP Academy videos for more info on that topic. That being...

I just installed Spoon rigid collars, EVS front offset lower ball joints, and removed front strut pins for more camber on my FL5. I've already performed a DIY string alignment on the car but I noticed the Honda manual says to perform the "VSA Neutral Position Memorization" procedure after...

Super useful info, thanks for all the details. I am looking forward to the video. This tells me the 355mm FK8 Essex kit is probably not the best option for the FL5 and I will either go with the 380mm Dream kit or the 370mm Paragon kit before track season.

@PointByPatrol do those happen to fit under your stock wheels? I'm surprised you are going through consumables that quick with this big brake kit. On my S2k which has Stoptech trophy front and rear, brake pads last forever. Like 2-3 seasons with 5-6 track events per year. Rotors last even...

I have the AWE Touring and I chose it for the sound and the look of the tips. I absolutely love this exhaust, it's perfect for a daily driver. It sounds really good and isn't too loud. You get some nice sounding burbles off throttle that are difficult to pickup in the youtube videos but really...

Can someone with access to the factory repair manual provide the front and rear subframe torque specs for the FL5? I am planning to install Spoon Rigid Collars this week. Thanks in advance!

You can definitely get some understeer in the lower speed corners and certain mid speed corners. There's an off camber mid 3rd gear turn in particular at my local track that would benefit from more rotation. These situations could probably use a bigger rear bar. Going to agree with what others...

@PointByPatrol how much street driving have you done with the race version of the PWR/C&R radiator? I am curious if you've noticed any low airflow conditions where the car is running hotter than normal. I would think your situation is worst case since you have the PRL intercooler and an oil...

Interesting, I've been running these pads front and rear on my 8th gen Si for the last couple years and they are quiet. I did put brake grease on the back of the pads and on the ears. Do you track the car? If not, grease is probably not a bad idea.

Where on the track did you experience the cuts in power? The Ridge is notorious for making cars fuel starve, particularly in turns 8A and 8B. You mentioned the video overlay functionality was not working but I am curious if the log R application was successful at reliably recording your lap...

This is terrible, looks like a beginner group. I am angry just watching this! Isn't there a more advanced group you can run in?
