  1. ► APEX | New Forged Sprint™ Line - Lightweight Motorsport Wheels For Your Civic Type-R

    https://www.civicxi.com/forum/threads/extended-wheel-studs.51886/ Not sure if anyone previously have brought this up. I also am not sure how much of an issue this is actually but would be nice if the new wheels could take this into account as well.
  2. Extended Wheel Studs

    Can the stud be installed if you get rid of the bullet nose lead in?
  3. Oil Filters - Mobil 1???

    I've used both OEM and M1 filter on my FK8 before. I can't tell you if they filter the same or anything. But I can tell you that M1 filter's housing slips with those filter wrench socket and I basically have to use the 3-jaw filter clamping wrench to remove it every oil change, much more...
  4. The Best CTR FL5s at SEMA 2023

    FWIW the FL5 Spoon Filter is I think a different filter media from their previous filter offering(Sprint Filter https://www.sprintfilter.net/). Its not hard to believe the performance filter might flow more air, but how much it filters can be kinda suspect. The points raised by the drive article...
  5. Thoughts on adj. rear sway bars?

    In FK8 a stiffer rear bar definitely helps balance out the car at lower speed autoX type of driving, without as much momentum you definitely can get into understeer easier, especially with stickier tires. As the bars themselves are compatible I am planning to use the same rear bar I used on this...

  7. Enlightening read on wheel offset and effects on suspension and steering

    Apex is pretty well known, Camaro, BMW, etc runs them pretty often and they are pretty light so no issue functionally. I ran wheels with centering rings before for autoX so I've had no issue with that also. I just don't particularly like the style thats available to us here, and since they are...
  8. Enlightening read on wheel offset and effects on suspension and steering

    only thing I care about offset wise is if they meet the +/- 7mm rules for SCCA Street class, which unfortunately really limits my options.... The Mita wheels mentioned here was interesting but I've never heard of them. Looks like gonna be priced similarly as the forged Apex option which was...
  9. Fujitsubo A-RM+c Titanium Exhaust

    Whats the weight though.... still most interested in Remark because of the weight claim.... Looks like section to section Remark is 5lb less because Remark claim the front pipe back as 22lb....this doesn't include front pipe and is 19.2kg or 27.5lb...
  10. Winter Tire setup

    Pilot Alpin are always pretty performance oriented winters and they cost noticeably more than their "normal" winter tires like X-Ice or something, but has closer handling characteristics to their performance tires in winter. If you expect to see more snow than wet/dry road, then you might want...
  11. Winter Tire setup

    Might have better luck getting BMW wheels to fit...only thing is their hub bore are not gonna be the same
  12. Ralleye Red Color - More Allocation Percentage for 2024?

    Either way is something an average joe aren't able to do, and in this case there are not a whole lot of toppings to pick from in this car...color is basically it and most of us unless you are willing to pay for what's asked are just getting whats acceptable...
  13. Ralleye Red Color - More Allocation Percentage for 2024?

    The only person I've heard "ordered" a car is youtuber savagegeese, which is kinda meh that he went through the channel of Honda rep and they got him to work with a dealer....also kinda interesting how many car tubers got a Type R in the last year....
  14. Ralleye Red Color - More Allocation Percentage for 2024?

    I'd love to have gotten a red one but such is the annoying way of buying these cars.....
  15. Poor FL5 Owner

    In terms of purchase price and what not, FL5 is definitely the most expensive car I've ever bought. I had a FK8 before this and that was the previous watermark. I paid 2k over on FK8, 3k over on FL5. Inflation adjusted everything actually probably evens out 2018 vs 2023. I am actually probably...
  16. What did you do to your FL5 today?

    Can the AWE one fit the muffler cover thing back on?
  17. Boost Blue with Volk Racing CE 28

    The FL5 looks less tucked than the FK8 but its still pretty tucked, 45ET looks pretty normal.
  18. What did you do to your FL5 today?

    I looked up on the Spoon filters after watching an unboxing and install video on it, which uses Sprint Filter's media. What I thought was interesting was one of the videos showed how easy it was for the media to be "see thru". I did performance air intake design for a while at GM Performance(GM...
  19. What did you do to your FL5 today?

    Lasfit was the LED I used, all the bulbs fit fine no issue. The instruction for pulling the pin is to use a nut with a bunch of washer under the threaded part(washer stack has to be higher than the unthreaded portion of the pin) and just tighten the nut until the pin is pulled up. The nut I...
  20. What did you do to your FL5 today?

    Swapped rear bulbs for LEDs last week, installed Proclip phone mount Over the weekend, did some antiseize application on some rear suspension bolts to prepare for winter, pulled front strut pins and maxed out the front camber: AutoX'd the car on sunday and hit a few cones...lol Need to...
