  1. Asked a Honda engineer about the factory fill and whether there was any benefit to keeping it in longer

    That's not what I gather from reading it. He says they do a break in test for 3 hours and after the break in test, there's no measurable difference between if they used a moly lube or not. It doesn't mean the break in is unnecessary.
  2. Asked a Honda engineer about the factory fill and whether there was any benefit to keeping it in longer

    The question keeps popping up about whether there is something special about the factory fill where it's better to keep it in until MM reads 15% or if it's totally okay to change it out early. There's a lot of opinions but not much definitive information. Honda corporate just gives you the 15%...
  3. Central NC ITS/CTR meetup

    Rough. I dunno how you are alive enough to make posts.
  4. Central NC ITS/CTR meetup

    2024 FL5 owner in the triangle here. I don't have a ton of time with my 1 year old demanding most of the weekends, but am willing to be an on and off participant as time allows. I went to C&C Morrisville last weekend and met up with another white FL5 owner. In the future I'd like to do a track...
  5. Fl5 rear and front bumper quite tall. When did this new trend begin?

    I'm a couple months late, but I'm so annoyed that nobody bothered to make this illustration which puts the whole bumper height "issue" to rest. I just took 5 minutes out of my day for this nonsense. The bumper height between the FK8 and FL5 is practically the same. The part where the tail...
  6. Driving the DE5

    ITS dealbreakers were the tacked on fender flares and the high trunk access. Otherwise I was really feeling the Integra name.
  7. Oil Change at 1,000 miles necessary?

    Where in current literature does Honda recommend keeping the factory oil for as long as possible? I remember that was a thing 10 years ago where they mentioned extra moly in the factory oil, but I don't see that for the 11th gen.
  8. Poll: What color is your FL5 Type R Civic? ... let's see what colors are most popular.

    What do you like about the color you got? ... and was it your first choice? I got BB. It was my #2 choice behind SGP, though it was a distant #2. I am so jealous of all those SGPs out there. That said, seeing the BB in the showroom made my eyes pop out and I've had a bunch of cars with colors...
  9. Name five things you like about the Type R and five things you would change...

    Like 1) Integrated fender flares look wide and aggressive without being all tacky 2) Fun to drive - excellent seats and powertrain 3) Big fat tires look awesome and those Brembo brakes make me feel like I've got a supercar 4) Utility 5) Interior - audio system sounds great and temp monitors are...
  10. Questions for the K20C1 engine experts here.

    I mean, I had all these questions unanswered when I bought my FL5 and at the end of the day it really came down to - if DI carbon buildup was going to deter me from getting a car, then I might as well get a boring Toyota/Lexus or keep my 9th gen Civic Si or go electric or something. There's not...
  11. Questions for the K20C1 engine experts here.

    To be fair, I don't think these are totally outrageous questions and should be perfectly reasonable things that a consumer ought to know about their product - 1) does the DI cause valve gunk and 2) is there any validity to keeping the factory oil till MM says to change it. I've been wanting to...
  12. Well, I bit the bullet, and got the Wheels

    Looks perfect, but your photography skills could use some work. :)
  13. Well, I bit the bullet, and got the Wheels

    The forged wheels would be both a visual and mechanical upgrade in my book. I don't mind the stock black wheels, I think they look pretty nice, but reducing the unsprung weight is a nice elegant method of making legit efficiency gains without touching the powertrain. It's like in audio where to...
  14. What did you do to your FL5 today?

    I might have seen you late last year driving around North Raleigh, somewhere around the Leesville and 540 area. I saw a white FL5 and screamed at my wife.
  15. What did you do to your FL5 today?

    I got a watermelon license plate cause watermelons are the sh**.
  16. Missing screw on the engine?

    Good to know. I'm just curious, how do you know no screw goes there? This seems like a bit of obscure knowledge.
  17. Missing screw on the engine?

    My car has 600 miles on it and ever since I've owned it, I've smelled a bit of a burning smell after driving. I thought it would go away after whatever the smell was burned off, but it's still here. Today I finally opened up the hood after reading about people having head gasket leaks and...
  18. Where are you getting rock chips?

    PPF the Type R badge, the only thing that matters.
  19. FL5 at Tokyo Auto Salon 2024

    That front splitter and rear diffuser look so thick. I don't get it.
  20. Trade 718 GT4 for FL5? (There is a reason for the madness...)

    This thread got me realizing that the FL5/DE5 have addressed a neglected market segment - car enthusiasts who are parents who want utility and fun at the same time. With a 2 door sports car you have fun but not utility. With an SUV/van you have utility but not fun. There aren't many cars that...
