Weight is the enemy. If they are going to go to all the trouble to adding the motors and batteries, they should at least have them power the rear axle. I absolutely wouldn't trade extra weight for a more efficient Type R that was still FWD. AWD would at least offer some benefits for the weight...

Anybody tried ordering since the tariffs were overturned? I'm curious what the current situation is.

Sometimes you can get it to drop out by flexing the dust shield back away from the rotors without removing the wheel.

I'm glad to hear that it breaks in a bit. I finished my install tonight. It's a big change. But it's almost too tight. I need to raise the height adjustment a bit. I don't feel like I have enough leverage and the effort to get it in gear is a little higher than I want. At least the install...

Finally broke down and ordered the full acuity shifter. I've never had a single complaint about the stock shifter, but I bought a white billetworks knob that was heavier. Love the feel, but the extra weight introduced some slop due to the soft bushings. I thought about just doing solid bushings...

Use Waze. It doesn't show up in the cluster.

I know nobody wants to talk about EV's since they don't make any noise, but if all you want is straight line speed, I don't think there is a more cost effective option than a used Model 3 Performance. Here's an example in Florida: 2021 Model 3 Performance These run 1/4 mile times about 1 full...

Does anyone know if this was a problem on the FK8? I don't remember it being an issue back when I was active on CivicX with my old car, and I'm wondering if the FK8 tank would fit. I feel like a metal tank is going to heat soak when I'm idling between autoX sessions.

Fuel pumps were a thing for all FK8's. Since they share the same engine it makes sense the FL5 might be affected as well.

Big day today. Paid an uncomfortable amount of money for a really fancy ceramic coating from the best shop in town, put in my 3D Mats Kagu liners, installed my ZL1 rock guards. Coming soon: I ordered the PRL RMM. I never put a full RMM in my FK8, just the mount inserts. This will be a change for...

So I put the fuse back in today. There is definitely a big difference in tone (maybe not noise, but tone) at low RPM from outside the car. From inside it sounds about the same. I will say that I also noticed that the car felt less prone to stalling when starting out in first gear with the valve...

No kidding. That 2015 era infotainment in the FK8 was the worst thing about the car. I also had a 2020. It would completely crash and render the climate control useless on about 50% of my trips. And if you didn’t wait for the system to fully boot before plugging in your phone CarPlay would not...

New to this platform as of Sunday. A 2024 FL5 in my favorite color popped up at a Carmax in my town. I drove my FK8 over there to test drive it and then left with it. I already have 3 sets of wheels/tires that will fit, but I will need to find a different legal set for autocross since the OEM...

Just went to go do this free mod on my new-to-me FL5. Looks like the previous owner was on this forum. It's already been done. Now I'm wondering if it also has the DE5 ADS module, because I'm coming from an FK8, and this car definitely rides better than my old car.
