Sigh...when Honda KNEW what they were doing! Although the FL5 Type R is the

I came across this...hp per liter is sick back in the day...
No. Research. Just had a quick Google search on best oils and all kind of stuff comes up with guys doing independent testing and such. But like I said, to each his own. I use nothing but that stuff. You’re more than welcome to use whatever you want. Heck, if someone thinks water works good, so...
If I wasn't putting 18" wheels on the car, I would keep it stock. The 19's with 275/35 rubber fill the gap well. But the 18's will leave a gap again, so will drop .8 with J's Racing springs next week.
Eh. All the research I’ve done AMSOIL is one of the best oils you can buy. So it is what it is. Everyone has their opinion on different facts.
it’s all I’ve used for years. And I always go thicker oil as well. So then there’s that lol
Hey!!
So after months, 3 of them, trying to decide on a exhaust for the FL5, I finally settled on TOMEI and ordered one! Dual's, which look way better than the trips...I do like the Type S 3 better, but....and the car just sounds "good", not great! so between the downpipe and this? should...
It's actually super easy and there isn't much chance of messing anything up. I've had that dash apart quite a few times: Disable this, JQ Werks wheel install, short shift kit install. Actually much easier than most to get apart!
First thing I Did was unplugged that horrible corporate idea! I was driving home the first time with the car three months ago and I thought to myself “what the hell is that noise“ so after looking into it, I quickly remove that! And now the car sounds like the car, which is what it’s supposed to...
Hey! So I just ordered the MST downpipe and intake. Even though I have the PRL. Just thought I’d try something additional or different. Should be here in a week or so, I’ll keep everyone posted!
So your oil temperatures are within normal driving parameters 190-210. The coolant was a few degrees higher than normal operating temperatures.
I track quite a bit, not yet with the FL5, but never had any issues with overheating. Ran 30 laps with my TLX Type S. And it was pretty hard! The...
I’ve done a lot of research into oils and filters and stuff over the years and have decided that AMSOIL is probably some of the best stuff out there. Just like after researching filters, I use pure Purolator boss filters based on a big test that someone did on YouTube.
Usually on our Acura, at 15%, RDX the NON race car, it's about 7000 miles give or take. I've not seen them go quite that high on oil changes. Just a heads up.
I have a basic setup, but works great...even if it is on a console :) I run a Next Level Racing GT Lite Pro cockpit, G923 wheel/pedal, and PS5 connected to a Sony 50" TV. Nothing fancy, but it works for what my wife lets me have :) And it's MUCH more enjoyable to run racing games now! :)
