Last purchase Mod for the FL5. I’m going to cut out the 2.36” neck down flange portion and make it a true 70mm(2.75”) exhaust. But otherwise it sounds good with no drone Valve close.
I took a different approach with my OEM exhaust, removed the front resonator and installed a Megaphone in place of it. Then took a full 3” front pipe and tapered it down to 2.5” where it meets the exhaust. left the 3” as is where it meets the DP. Sound is definitely much more noticeable with...
Yeah these are 19x10 Et40, center Hub 64.1mm. Tires are “BF Goodrich G-Force 265/35r19 Summer tires. No rubbing at all. I had the RSR coilovers first on my FK8 for almost 1-1/2, and now i have them on my FL5 for about 2-3 month now give or take. I’m maybe .7” drop front and rear, so roughly (17mm)
Installed my Mugen Cf Yellow Stripe Shift knob today. And decided to go with the Revel/Tanabe Medallion Touring Exhaust. First thing i’m doing is removing the choke point at the Front pipe flange that’s 2.36” and replacing it with a 2.5-2.75” section and flange.

Trying out different tire sizes for the new TE37’s wheels. These are 275/35r19 all season with a round sidewall. I’ll lean towards an all Summer 275/30r19 or 285/30r19 tire, i’ll try the 285/30 tomorrow.
So not sure if anyone had any issues with the RV6 bypass valve getting stuck and causing a CEL, but i try to contact them for a solution and or a replacement and they just brushed me off asking me to do all these vacuum test making me buy additional tools to perform the test. Even while i showed...
I 2nd that. TypeS is nice and all, reminds me of, if the FK8 and FL5 had a muscular child lol. But the subtle lines and wide body of the FL5 is second to none. It’s a timeless design like that of the EK9, Supra, IS F. Etc etc.
Been chasing a evap issue for 2days now, nearly took all evap hoses off even replaced some with new lines, only to find out my catch-can fitting was loose 🤦🏻‍♂️ . My tuner must of not tightened it enough… On the positive side i have a few new hoses installed now and corrected the evap issue.
I...
Crap, one thing I never thought about was making a build thread on my car’s upgrades. I guess once my wheels get here i’ll start one. Love your build brother. Keep up the great work and pro pics of your car.
