  1. FL5 tuning issue

    I’m laughing, because I sent Corey a FB messenger message on this and intake cam timing was my initial speculation based on tuning old Evos back in the day. I think it’s freaking awesome that it turned out to be right. ? Thank you so much for responding and proving to me that I’m not crazy.
  2. FL5 tuning issue

    I want to start this off by saying that I love Hondata. They are a great company with a fantastic product. And I the feel the same about same about Two Step Performance. The tuner for the Two Step base map is renown for fantastic work across many platforms. The car is very quick on this map...
  3. Rchive- An FL5 ownership journal

    Been several weeks since I updated. I received the new Diamond Silver TE37SL a bit back, but they’re still new in box. I’m going to resell them or try to trade for 19s. The car itself is doing well. I’m about on target for 6000 miles a year with it. I’m nearly at 3000 miles after half a year...
  4. Stock FL5 Track Day Observations

    I also vote that’s fuel starvation. Don’t mess around with that. Keep it topped off. If it was overheating, you’d see an actual limp mode and continual loss of power. Was this something they happened in turns for a moment or two, or several seconds/until you pit?
  5. Unwanted attention

    Zero negative attention or weirdos acting out in my county. I’ve owned it for almost 6 months.
  6. Ohlins R/T Clunking Noise?

    Not normal for sure. Especially if not mirrored on the other side. Investigate installation at that corner ASAP.
  7. Coming from an Elantra N

    I had a VN very briefly. It was alright. I think it looked nice and handled well. The three door was a bit weird. I think it looks much better than the EN. For me: CTR>Golf R>GTI. I guess next would be the GR Corolla, followed by the underpowered Si. VN after that, and the current WRX is...
  8. Civic Type R vs. Porsche 911

    I’d happily take a little lag for that top end power. Even a base Carrera is touching high 11s, and drives like a dream. The bit that stops me from getting a 911 over an FL5 is that over twice the price thing. ? A Cayman is not practical enough. The Macan and Cayenne are of no interest to me.
  9. KTuner for FL5?

    You gonna have to switch.
  10. What about the FL5 do you regret?

    I’m pro ceramic coat (easy and cheap to do yourself), and anti PPF.
  11. Black Soot

    Probably just crap from the road and dirt/dust settling on your bumper. Especially if it rained. The shape of a hatchback is notable for letting dirt collect back there. Are your outer exhaust tips dirty, or do you have any mods? If so, soot on the rear bumper directly above the exhaust is a...
  12. FL5 stock exhaust valve: Fuse pulled/always open - exterior sound clips

    After being involved in this thread, I got a little bit curious and opened the valve. Definitely no difference with the way it runs, of course, but the sound difference is pretty much nonexistent. I guess I can tell if I blip the throttle in my garage, that’s about it. My ricer side can’t help...
  13. FL5 stock exhaust valve: Fuse pulled/always open - exterior sound clips

    It’s definitely a tuning/mapping thing. But my FK8 didn’t have cold start retardation anywhere like this.
  14. FL5 stock exhaust valve: Fuse pulled/always open - exterior sound clips

    I have not touched the fuse and forced my valve open, but I also get this odd cold start behavior. I do have Hondata, and it does it on the basemap as well as the TSP stage one map. I have not bothered to flash the car back to stock to see if the behavior continues. It is warm where I live, but...
  15. What about the FL5 do you regret?

    @Clark_Kent Thanks. I’m gonna check them out.
  16. What about the FL5 do you regret?

    Thanks, friend. I’ll check them out.
  17. What about the FL5 do you regret?

    I regret that I get bored quickly and swap cars too often. I don't have any loans on any cars, but there's definitely some bit of depreciation on some transactions. But as far as this car goes, I definitely wish it wasn't FWD. It's a razor with handling, decently lightweight, offers solid...
  18. Rchive- An FL5 ownership journal

    I still have it, but reverted to the stock ADS. Thanks much for the info. it was my assumption that they were set at the same height.
  19. MY 2024? Changes

    I’ve had one car with folding mirrors and cannot fathom a practical use for it in the USA. I used it once and laughed at the absurdity. Unless you have a gigantic SUV that will not fit width-wise in your garage without folding mirrors, they are most pointless thing ever to me.
