  1. Steering Wheel intermittently Vibrate After Steering Rack Replacement

    I drove the car again today and the wheel rotation seems to do the trick. I just need to decide where am I going to have two, or all of the tires balanced on the safe side. Many Thanks!
  2. FL5 Color Matched Wing

    I came across a couple people who color matched the stock wing. Looks good!
  3. Steering Wheel intermittently Vibrate After Steering Rack Replacement

    I was about to have my local America's Tire to check if the front two tires are balanced, until I noticed they were on the sketchy side of things. Each bay is equipped with four floor jacks and just have cars up in the air that way. So I immediately left. Eventually, I gave your idea a shot...
  4. Steering Wheel intermittently Vibrate After Steering Rack Replacement

    Was your fix replacing the rack instead of the updated re-grease procedure?
  5. Steering Wheel intermittently Vibrate After Steering Rack Replacement

    The front wheels have to be removed first before disconnecting anything that will let you get to the steering rack. If it is a tire balancing issue, vibration will not be come and gone within a narrow window.
  6. Steering Wheel intermittently Vibrate After Steering Rack Replacement

    They did not provide a printout. They assured alignment is part of the warranty procedure when the rack was replaced. I am fairly certain alignment is not going to cause vibration in that fashion.
  7. Steering Wheel intermittently Vibrate After Steering Rack Replacement

    I am scratching my head, as I am running out of clues why this is happening. Prior to the steering rack being replaced, the front wheels were balanced. The rack managed to fall apart one night and it was making knocking noises when the car is not moving by the steering wheel left and right...
  8. What did you do to your FL5 today?

    Took mine to the dealer today since the replacement steering rack arrived after being backordered for a month. The original one was making audible knocking noise when the car is stationary while turning the steering wheel left and right. I thought the subframe needs to be removed and required...
  9. HKS sema fl5 !

    Although I can try adjust them and see if that makes any difference, I find both high and low beam are overall on the close side. I also have not so good experience with LED reflector headlights, where I would immediately prefer the projector version if that is available on the same car.
  10. HKS sema fl5 !

    Looking forward to see a set in person whether these will have a better beam pattern than stock headlights
  11. Suggestions for door sill protectors

    Instead of a treadplate/door sill plate, illuminated or not, how about trimming PPF to roughly the same length as an average door sill?
  12. Clutch Engages Very High

    Is the clutch slipping?
  13. FL5 Windshield Reservoir behind bumper photos

    Change the thread title. You can confuse a lot of people. The title says "Coolant Bottle" when you actually mean washer fluid reservoir
  14. FL5 Battery Type

    There are standard flooded car batteries that are sealed. The easiest way to tell between flooded and AGM is you can't feel fluid moving around when you lodge it.
  15. FL5 Steering Rack on Backorder?

    One day, I started hearing a knocking noise that is rather audible from the inside of the car after I am done driving it. Can consistently reproduce it by turning the steering wheel left and right while the car is not moving. Service advisor told me they will replace the steering rack, but no ETA.
  16. Responsiveness of Indirect TMPS System

    Indirect TPMS is not very responsive. When a rock punctured a tire a year and a half ago, TPMS has not detected a low tire after driving for a mile.
  17. Worm Gear Recall Fix Reviews

    I scheduled the Steering Rack Worm Gear fix a couple days ago since they were able get the repair kit. Drove the car after I picked it up later that evening and the next day. Things appear to be in working order so far.
  18. Show Your FL5 MPG’s!!!

    That's what I got on a road trip. From the right is mostly city driving, then mostly country roads. After that is the longest leg with blends of freeway, slower country roads and 3,000ft drop worth of fast turns. Calculating actual gas mileage with the gas pump, the car usually reads close to...
  19. Only 1100km (650mls) putting away for winter, change oil, flat stoppers?

    The question is when did you pick up your FL5 and how many miles you currently have. There are plenty of debates whether the factory-filled oil is a special break-in oil, but you should change the engine oil every 12 months regardless of mileage. If you just got it a couple months ago and...
