Yep agreed with the QC. Only thing I found so far is some blue paint overspray on the base plate of the RTA-003. Pictured in my original post. I ended up using that one. Since the second RTA I had was worse 😞. It's interesting you mentioned oil pressure with this filter. With the factory...

A good example of the metal shavings I have consistently seen on the A02 filters is at the 1:30 mark in this video. He tried to pull it out later in the video.

Hey! Just a heads up to look over your filters, especially the threads. I have been doing this just out of habit. But in the last 4 years or so, the A02 filters have really bad QC. I have seen many with metal shavings and burrs on the threads. Some I couldn't take off and were large. Some...

ROFL! why yes I have 😀 I can finally drive the car properly and man is it fun!

I just experienced a similar thing. You can feel the buzzing in the steering wheel. Almost like a pulsing buzz as you accelerate hard. Feels weird. This was in 3rd and I was able to replicate multiple times on the road. Is this a normal occurrence on the FL5? Mine is a few months old and 1k...

Yeah that could be. I was just wondering about any in transit also. What's weird is there is still no official announcement or update on Honda's site. There is usually some newsroom article that comes out. Again that could also be related to the spotlight they want to put on the Prelude...

Thanks for the input! Yeah its pretty weird. Kinda bummed out to be honest. I understand these cars take a long journey to get here. Going through changing temps and inclement weather sometimes. Although I live in an area that uses salt. The car will be stored away during winter as its...

Interesting, thanks for the info! I didnt know they used seam sealer on the subframe. Looked up some pics online and I do find seam sealer around the engine bay and wheel wells. Most colors used are black white Grey and beige. So not sure what is causing this color or even why the paint is...

Sorry, not exactly sure what you mean by seam sealer, but it looks like rust all along the welds of the subframe. Worth noting the car was picked up less than a day after it arrived. Only minimal PDI done (body plugs, backup camera fuse, tire pressure) thats it. I didnt even have them put...

Hey, me again. Apologies for posting another thread. I tried searching and found one post on FK8 forums on the rust but nothing else. Anyone notice this on their FL5? It looks like rust all along the welds. Also there are scuffs/gouges around the transmission mount bolt next to the jack...

Thanks everyone for the suggestions and input! I put the car back up and cleaned that area thoroughly. I'll check again the next time I need to be under there. I saw a couple fl5 oil change vids on YouTube, in which you can see a drop of oil on the exact same spot of the bearing. Seems like...

There are drips on the tray (which is what made me start looking) and on the exhaust hanger just below the bearing. Otherwise you're right, its nowhere else besides on the bearing. I just didnt know if its something I should address right away. It's not a daily driver. I've had it for a few...

Here are some pics of the top of the axle shaft. No oil residue from the top. Seems like the axle bearing is leaking. What's weird is the oil has no smell.

Also I saw another thread with the same thing. He sae the valve cover leaking. I checked everywhere around the valve cover and there is no leak at all. Totally dry from what I can see.

Hey everyone. Sorry for the urgency as im currently under the car about to do my break in oil change. I noticed some oil on the underside tray. Then started poking around and saw oil on the passenger side of the axle where there is a baring. You can see the drop of oil. I dont see oil...

Thanks for the replies! I turned off lane keeping assist day 1 on the ride home from the dealer lol I've been driving it more on other roads and its still intermittent. Sometimes no steering wheel shake at all. Other times it will. Might try to rotate the tires and see if that does...

Just FYI, I went through some of my old texts and found pics other dealers sent me of 2025 models in their system that were incoming. The model ID for 2025 in Honda's system is FL5G4SGW So that further confirms the pic shared for 2026 is legit.

Yeah I was thinking it could be a balance issue at first. But given it's intermittent, I was having doubts. During parts of my drive I dont notice it much. Then other parts I do. But thats if I can get up to that speed. I may need to drive on some other roads and keep the speed more...

Yeah after seeing these more, it's just not my cup of tea. The J's Racing tail lights look much better and unique to the FL5.

Hey everyone! New 2025, only got around 700 miles so far. Ever since I took it up to highway speeds. It would sometimes shake the steering wheel. I don't really feel it if im holding the wheel. But if I let go, the steering wheel shakes/vibrates side to side. Noticed it happens more around...
