  1. [Now Available] AWE Exhaust Suite for the Honda FL5 Civic Type R

    So @Sara/AWE , you're basically saying the Track is not louder than the Touring externally, only in the cabin?
  2. What can I replace this button cover with?

    I'm a fan of rev match. I've seen people wanting a button to change it, but I can't imagine a scenario where one would change it often. Like you're just driving along, and you feel like changing it? I don't get it. How is it a risk to accidentally change it? Because if you are used to downshift...
  3. [Now Available] AWE Exhaust Suite for the Honda FL5 Civic Type R

    I have the Touring, and it sounds louder than in any video I've seen (from AWE or users), but it's good. I wouldn't go any louder though. Don't go by the videos. Track will be very loud. Of course you can always convert it, so up to you.
  4. What can I replace this button cover with?

    I'm curious, because I've seen folks talk about this a lot, but I don't get it. How often do you change the rev match setting? It seems, at least to me, that you either use it or you don't. I wouldn't want a button where I can accidentally change it. So for me having it in the menu is perfect...
  5. [Now Available] AWE Exhaust Suite for the Honda FL5 Civic Type R

    To those still waiting, be patient, it's worth it. I got mine on Monday (Touring with Black Tips) and had it installed today. It sounds just perfect to me, and the build quality is top notch. Thanks to @Sara/AWE for helping track things and answer questions. Not the best photo, just a quick one...

    More fun to drive - that's what it boils down to.
  7. Don't be this guy!

    This is why I run with the PCA black group when I go to track days (not yet with the FL5, but plan to in the Spring). I just have no trust with these others and have seen my share of idiots doing dangerous stuff out there that it's not worth the risk. You can take any car you want as long as you...
  8. What did you do to your FL5 today?

    I got all the parts here except for the pads. Some weren't used, but safe and cheap insurance. The staple are necessary as you'll see once you take the seats apart. https://jdmyamato.com/products/nhp003267?variant=43305174106360
  9. What did you do to your FL5 today?

    Coffee. I felt it had a bit of extra kick.
  10. What did you do to your FL5 today?

    I was worried it might void the warranty should something happen, but I finally did it. I put 2 scoops of whey isolate powder in my gas tank yesterday and the gains were instant. I was doing sub 3s 0-60 times, and pulling on everyone at stoplights. This is the way Honda should have made this...
  11. How do yall heel toe?

    I'm all for manuals, but on most high performance cars, having only 6 gears doesn't work well - too long/tall. The engines are tuned to work with dual-clutch/auto boxes now for the most part. If you want a manual M3 for example, you get a lower-powered engine. So yeah, I would never take that...
  12. How do yall heel toe?

    LOL, yes, and "Always downshift in a straight line!" - These things come from racing, not for street driving. Heel-toe is good on track - not needed on the street. Just blip throttle is all. Or youse auto-rev match.
  13. What did you do to your FL5 today?

    Looks good! Happy you like them - the cloth seats looked so out of place. I couldn't be happier with mine, even though they are a bit more maintenance, and am glad others are doing the mod.
  14. Active Dampers too stiff on FL5. Disabled with Damping Cancellation Kit

    ADS. How can it affect steering?? Who's saying that?

    It's over. I'm ready to trade after this one. https://www.hotcars.com/acura-integra-type-s-better-than-honda-civic-type-r-mechanical-engineer-explains/
  16. Seat Question

    I'm 5'10" and 155lbs - pretty slim build. I found the seats comfortable at first, but not so much on slightly longer trips (1hr+). But after a week, I got used to them 100% and now I could be in them for hours. So it may take a bit to adapt as well.
  17. Lane assist & auto brake disabled

    You left Blind Spot Information System on! Boo! I turned that off day 1. I look anyways, and the flashing yellows get annoying.
  18. FL5 stock exhaust valve: Fuse pulled/always open - exterior sound clips

    Exactly my point. The valve being open is not causing any of the issues posted IMHO. My post was in jest.
  19. FL5 stock exhaust valve: Fuse pulled/always open - exterior sound clips

    The AWE exhaust is non-valved. It works with stock tune/ECU. Are cars stalling?
