I don’t think the plugs are magnetic on the civic. But I would imagine after 1000 miles it should be broke in.

Oh ok. Thank you

So is the fl5 filter different than the fk8 filter?

That’s actually when I noticed it lol. I thought it was a scratch until I looked close. I was about to get pissed off lol

But 50k is not very many for a 3 year run. I mean I know I’ve only seen one fk8 driving down the road in our area since they have been released. These cars are limited in general. So if you want an fl5 and come across one and you can afford the markup, just get it because if you don’t then...

I’ve read a couple different articles that make it sound like the fl5 will be a lower volume car since it is being made in Japan. I attached one. Tell me what you get out of this. https://www.townoflaronge.ca/heres-why-the-2023-honda-civic-type-r-was-made-in-japan-not-indiana/

I guess it’s just my OCD that makes it bother me lol. Once I saw it, now I can’t help but see it all the time. It makes sense that it would be for chips, but I’ve just never seen that on a car. Thanks though. At least I’m not the only one

So are they on your car to?

I have a question maybe someone can answer. I noticed a week ago that my FL5 has a small clear protective film on the front of the rear fenders. Actually attached to the bottom rear of the back doors. It’s clear so you really don’t notice it. But I was wondering if that was supposed to be...

I see a lot of people think paying markup is stupid. And yes it is to be honest. But I knew I wanted it from the moment they debuted the car. I was actually dead set on buying a Nissan Z until I saw this Type R. And the Z even has a markup. Any car that has the demand is going to have a markup...

Very true about it being an enthusiast car. They know the market value. Because if they sold them for msrp, people would buy them and turn around and sell them for 10k more and it would sell in a heartbeat. And I’m not sure if it’s all dealerships but mine told me Honda will only allow them to...

So how do you do it? I want mine off too. It’s annoying

I paid msrp plus 10k markup. I ain’t gonna lie, I didn’t haggle at all. I just wanted the car and honestly would’ve paid more if that’s what it took. This car checks all the boxes for me so I just wanted it. They did give me full trade in value for my civic lx at $14,500 for a 2018 Civic Lx with...

I was planning on breaking in till 1k then changing oil and filter. I’m at 860 now. Getting close ?. I plan on using Castrol Edge. Supposedly Honda has a contract with Castrol. They use Castrol Edge in their race cars. And I plan on using a purilator boss filter. Anybody else use these?

I’m with you on that buddy. I was in my late 30’s when the FK8 was available but couldn’t do it because of the looks. But this FL5 is exactly what I wanted. Don’t let the wait bother you. Trust me it is worth it. I waited for a little over a month for mine. But as soon as I drove off in it I...

I just went to the garage to grab another beer and see her sitting in there. I never get tired of looking at her. Honda hit the nail on the head on this one. I don’t know how many people know it but Top Gear voted it car of the year. I agree

I paid 10k over msrp for mine and was able to get the color I wanted. I locked it in before the dealer even knew what color they were receiving. I did this because I knew I had to have it. I did not mind spending that kind of money on it because honestly I believe it’s worth it I definitely...

That’s a good name. Looks like a storm cloud coming ?

I just realized I never posted her picture. Here she is. My girlfriend helped me name her Salma because she has curves like Salma Hayek lol

I was lucky to get the championship white. It was my first pick and it just happened to be the color that they were sending to my dealership after I gave them 1k to lock it in. I got lucky. And she is number 915
