  1. No Parking Sensors in USDM Type Rs - why?

    I prefer the car without parking sensors as I find them ugly especially when it's in the middle of a bumper surface. I've gotten used to parking mine in the garage. I usually just shift to reverse to make sure the rear is in far enough. Parking with curb in front is my biggest concern and...
  2. Just purchased a boost blue fl5 type r in CA

    You had a chance to walk away when they brought up those charges. It's messed up but you agreed to it. They’ll probably order the locks and give them to you afterwards. I understand how it happens as it was really hard to negotiate for my car when I really wanted it. I’d say $8K over in...
  3. How to achieve -5 degrees of camber on front tires.

    I would get new wheels before attempting 5 degrees of camber. Probably an 8.5 instead of 9.5. This is why the FL5 has a factory widebody.
  4. Capless Fuel Filler

    It isn’t capless because the quarter panels are unique to this car. I imagine it would be super difficult to swap over a capless setup and not have the emissions system throw a fit.
  5. Drop in K&N filter available for FL5

    Initially I bought a K&N but returned it after a good friend who works on fleet vehicles all day warned me it probably wasn't a good idea. On a turbocharged vehicle the air filter is the only thing preventing dirt/sand from blasting the compressor wheel. If Honda could have improved both power...
  6. Custom DIY WeatherTech Type R Floor Mats

    No issues at all with WeatherTech. TuxMats are the ones that are too close to the pedals causing interference.
  7. FL5 Type R vs DE5 Integra Type S | Savagegeese

    @Bambzolbment - You're approaching Boostlag levels of annoying. Most of us will probably just Ignore you soon anyway. I don't know what you are trying to accomplish by posting here. They are both great cars in their own ways. You don't see all of us trolling the Integra Forums raving about all...
  8. Sound System Upgrade

    I've switched my bass settings to 5/6 and its adequate. I tend to keep it between 15-20 on the volume knob when listening to music loudly. The funny thing is in my new Lexus GX just one tick up from the middle is quite a bit more bass than default. So the person who said it's not linear in the...
  9. Second Gear Grind 😢

    Just checking that the car is at full operating condition when you are doing this. The transmission is notchy when cold like most performance transmissions. If it's still doing it consistently every time even when you are slow and deliberate it sounds like an issue with the sychro.
  10. Second Gear Grind 😢

    I have yet to have second gear grind. I would take it to the dealer as it is covered under warranty. If it's as often as you say they should be able to replicate it easily.
  11. FL5 spoon springs for sale

    $550 is a great price. Mine that I ordered 4 months ago finally showed up. GLWS!
  12. Active Dampers too stiff on FL5. Disabled with Damping Cancellation Kit

    That's great news about the Ohlins! I ordered a Type S ADS module and it's on backorder. In the meantime I've been trying to imagine what it might be like based on others feedback. I've been forcing myself to drive a bit more in +R than I normally do and since going to 18" wheels it's...
  13. Active Dampers too stiff on FL5. Disabled with Damping Cancellation Kit

    I can confirm my order from AcuraPartsWarehouse was just canceled. Does anyone know of an online store that will at least let you backorder it?
  14. Whats your other car in addition to your CTR?

    I recently traded my 2017 Toyota Tacoma for a 2020 Lexus GX 460. Such a smooth and luxurious ride! It's definitely a boat and doesn't handle well. When I jump in my FL5 the suspension is extra stiff by comparison. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a V8 family rig that can tow more than a...
  15. Sound System Upgrade

    I like the sound in my car overall but the lack of bass is something that disappoints me. I'll probably start researching the FK8 boards for a drop in replacement that doesn't require an external amp. My 2017 Tacoma sounded better with the factory JBL system but I realize that in the Civic it's...
  16. Boost Blue Autocrossing FL5 Type R - Build Journal

    I’d imagine it’s because the car is not competitive in B Street. It’s not something I personally value so it’s hard to wrap my head around it but that’s what I’ve gathered.
  17. Boost Blue Autocrossing FL5 Type R - Build Journal

    Sorry to hear. I enjoyed following your build! Just curious as you told people not to pay over MSRP did you sell it for market value or what you paid?
  18. Active Dampers too stiff on FL5. Disabled with Damping Cancellation Kit

    Yes. We’re all hoping the modes between the two cars map out to be the same. I’d say there is a good chance they do but not confirmed yet. If it works the FL5 will effectively be one step down in each mode which could be perfect for most of us.
  19. Active Dampers too stiff on FL5. Disabled with Damping Cancellation Kit

    Behind the left rear seat plastic. Similar to an FK8. I have not torn mine apart yet but I'm sure someone who unplugged their module took some photos.
  20. FL5 Type R vs DE5 Integra Type S | Savagegeese

    What many people don’t realize is that we’ve been in an inflationary period that many of us have never lived through before. https://www.dollartimes.com/inflation/inflation.php?amount=41000&year=2020 Your 41K was actually higher than the current MSRP for an FL5.
