  1. How Do You Find the Headlight Aim?

    I have been wondering for a while, and a recent road trip confirmed my observation. Is it just me or I find the FL5 came with headlight aimed too low? I have a hard time seeing far enough when the road is pitch black. The high beam will let me see farther, but not much better. If there is a...
  2. Racing the FL5 Type R with all OEM spec parts on Laguna Seca

    You can buy brake fluid tester to check water content. If I track my car more than a few times a year, I'd change soon
  3. Racing the FL5 Type R with all OEM spec parts on Laguna Seca

    I do plan to go HPDE with my FL5, but not this soon yet.
  4. Racing the FL5 Type R with all OEM spec parts on Laguna Seca

    It doesn't matter how hard you are on the brakes. As soon as you notice you have a soft pedal, stop. You don't want to drive around with a soft brake pedal (boiled brake fluid). Even people who go on track on a somewhat regular basis change their brake fluid every certain amount of track days...
  5. Racing the FL5 Type R with all OEM spec parts on Laguna Seca

    The more I read it, the more it doesn't make sense OP, is your actual goal trying to do HPDE and take it easy? Or you plan to do Time Trial? There is nothing wrong keeping most of the things stock, but I'm not sure what you are trying to achieve here. How often do you plan to drive on a race...
  6. Racing the FL5 Type R with all OEM spec parts on Laguna Seca

    Very interesting that you say OEM Brake Fluid is race fluid stock. Not all DOT 4 brake fluid are created equal. Castro SRF is DOT 4, has a Dry/Wet boiling point of 617F/518F , which is much higher than what you can get from Honda. I understand you want to keep everything stock and leave it at...
  7. Misha Charoudin at the Ring in a stock FL5

    It is a Europe/Japan thing. Under heavy braking, the emergency turn signals flashes.
  8. Type R Driver Side Ambient Lighting

    I would suggest you to look around that area. You don't want the ambient light to be so crazy bright that they distract you.
  9. 2025 Si full digital cluster works in 22-24 and here's what you need to get it done!

    Great job for attempting the cluster swap. I have a suggestion. You should demonstrate the shift light actually works when you are driving. Does it beep when you are close to the limiter? Do you have the ability to turn off the beep from the infotainment since there is no shift light in the...
  10. OEM+ Style Build

    I almost never see one. Nowadays turbocharged engines came water-cooled, so you don't see many people install one. If anything, you just take your sweet time to unbuckle, get your belongings or have a quick stretch after a drive, then turn your car off. You just saved a couple hundred bucks...

    The owner thought he drove it pretty hard until he went for a ride with Misha, according to the owners FB post
  12. And I thought my OCD was bad

    Not everyone knows Honda put the center cap with the bottom of the "H" point towards the valve stem.
  13. NorCal (East Bay) JDM performance Shop recommendation

    Wondering about the same. Looking forward to swap brake fluid and lines towards the end of the year.

    It is definitely gold that they let you park next to a F50.
  15. Interesting Stories with your FL5

    Have you ever had moments where a random person give you a thumbs up, to interesting encounters in your FL5? Let's hear your stories. I usually give people a thumbs up or compliment whenever I come across a cool car. I was heading to a mall one day. The weather was on the warm side, so I roll...
  16. Input Shaft Bearing Failure

    That definitely does not sound normal at all.
  17. 2025 Civic Type R - No Additions / Changes for 2025

    Fuel starvation is only a thing when you are low on fuel and turn really hard. That's why most will tell you to keep the gas tank above half way when tracking the car.
  18. Clix Auto Wiperblades... not compatible with 2024 FL5?

    Other than the classic style wiper clip, it is the best to buy from dealer if you want to be correct the moment you buy one without a thought. The site OP got them has the wrong clip
