  1. Rollout of the FL5 and the Big Tease - Decreasing want for this car?

    I find it quite hilarious after providing some comments which were centered around some unfortunate experiences with respect to a reputable German automotive brand, somehow those comments gets turned around into being a hater and basher of the brand. My wife and I had some cool experiences at...
  2. Rollout of the FL5 and the Big Tease - Decreasing want for this car?

    I find it interesting that you would try to compare all the virtues of a 2023 M2 that is clearly in a different price class, appeals to a somewhat different set of automotive enthusiasts and has an MSRP of ~$20,000 more than the 2023 CTR. After having experienced the infamous rod bearing issues...
  3. Rollout of the FL5 and the Big Tease - Decreasing want for this car?

    Interesting that you are referring to a 2023 BMW M2 that won't even be released for another 6 to 7 months (April 2023) and are already talking about purchasing this example for under MSRP which by the way has a base price of over $63,000 and once optioned out will be much closer to $70,000 and...
  4. Michelin Sport Cup 2 Tires

    The Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires came standard as OEM on the 2021 LE FK8's that were built in Swindon during late 2020 and early to mid 2021. As far as Honda dealer participation for Cup 2 tires, any Honda dealership has access to Michelin Cup 2 tires therefore I see no reason to list them...
  5. Rollout of the FL5 and the Big Tease - Decreasing want for this car?

    Exactly where are you getting the ADM pricing of $26,000 over MSRP for all FL5 cars? Obviously you have made no effort in order to understand where the real market pricing is for the FL5. Owned a number of M3's coupes, convertibles, M roadsters and it did not take long to move away from the...
  6. East Coast FL5 Delivery Estimates/Confirmations

    Upon taking delivery of my new FL5 I am going to drive it without installing any PPF but if I had planned on tracking my new 2nd generation CTR I would certainly entertain doing the complete vehicle.
  7. East Coast FL5 Delivery Estimates/Confirmations

    I really got tired of the noticeable seam lines from wax, dirt and clay bar build up that was very evident after detailing my vehicle. Since I do a lot of high speed highway driving on Interstate Highways my partial PPF was great for the areas that were protected but there were always some...
  8. East Coast FL5 Delivery Estimates/Confirmations

    Based on personal experience applying a partial PPF is a pure waste of time and money. In fact many PPF businesses/installers in my area will not even look at doing a partial PPF.
  9. East Coast FL5 Delivery Estimates/Confirmations

    Based on first hand experience I can confirm that some brand new vehicles sitting outside in the elements for any length of time may experience some sort of paint issues or blemishes based on acid rain, bird droppings, harsh UV ray exposure, etc. I had a 2015 Shelby GT350 sit at a Ford assembly...
  10. East Coast FL5 Delivery Estimates/Confirmations

    I am taking the same approach as yourself with respect to my LE and limited amount of seat time. Once I receive an allocation and subsequent delivery for an FL5 that will become my daily driver along with our MDX Type S Advance.
  11. East Coast FL5 Delivery Estimates/Confirmations

    Congratulations on receiving an allocation from a South Carolina dealership which is outstanding! Over the years I have purchased many Honda vehicles in South Carolina including a 2018 Rallye Red a number of years ago and miss that vehicle a great deal. What color is your new FL5 and what S.C...
  12. The FL5 Dealer ADM Markup Thread

    Not sure what world that you live in but suggest you check out what was the final OTD price for the very first 2022 NSX Type S sold for in Canada as it was certainly not MSRP and well beyond my comprehension? What did the 100 Limited Edition 2021 Honda CTR's sell for in Canada over a year ago...
  13. 🤩 FL5 Type R Owner Review First Impressions! (after 270ish miles and counting)

    After having been around for a very long time your response is hilarious!
  14. The FL5 Dealer ADM Markup Thread

    Just curious when mark ups in Canada are illegal as ADM's have been going on in the Great White North for many years?
  15. Transport Blocks PSA: make sure your dealer removes suspension transport blocks before taking delivery!

    Thanks for posting as really appreciated! I had that same issue with a 2016 GT350R back in the day. After my vehicle was riding very stiff I located polyurethane shipping blocks still located in both the front and read springs after my PDI was completed. Once removed I had to get the...
  16. Integra Type S Spied Again! With Wider Fenders, Triple Exhaust Tips, Manual Transmission

    No question that an Acura Integra Type S will be launched sometime later next year and will be a 2024 model. Also, my understanding is that the Integra Type S will come with more HP than the 2nd generation 2023 Civic Type R. It will be interesting to see what the MSRP will be for the Integra...
  17. FL5 Dynojet: 307 whp / 327 lb-ft (and Hondata Dyno)

    Based on my understanding the FL5 is 67 pounds heavier than the Touring Model FK8 and 117 pounds heavier than the FK8 Limited Edition.
  18. FL5 Dynojet: 307 whp / 327 lb-ft (and Hondata Dyno)

    Slightly taller rear end ratio but also a slightly shorter tire height along with a lighter flywheel, additional HP, torque and boost may surprise a few people with respect to the FL5!
  19. 🤩 FL5 Type R Owner Review First Impressions! (after 270ish miles and counting)

    If you can get that done sometime down the road I suggest that the curb scale weight with a full tank of fuel for your FL5 will be very close to the advertised 3,188#. Recently filled my 2021 LE up with a fresh tank of gasoline and then headed to a CAT Scale and weighed it twice (both...
