  1. Interior noises - rattles, creaks, squeaks!

    Yes. Wastegate noise is normal. Same noise on fk8. No way around it. Exhausts helps muffle it.
  2. PRL Motorsports 2023+ Honda Civic Type-R FL5 High Volume Intake System Product Development

    Dealers will usually always give grief if something fails and try to blame it on the mod but they basically need to prove the mod caused the failure. Thing is, dealers can blame it on anything so it’s ultimately up to your discretion. An intake design like this isn’t usually a major issue though
  3. Why does everybody buy wind deflectors?

    I like the way they look but more importantly their function. I tend to crack my windows a lot to let fresh air in, especially when it's raining. I do not smoke/vape, etc. Fresh air circulating in the cabin while decreasing window noise is a win for me.
  4. PRL Motorsports 2023+ Honda Civic Type-R FL5 High Volume Intake System Product Development

    ya I’m kinda surprised too. The engine is mostly the same and it’s a similar car to fk8. You’d think this one would have been faster. I’m surprised the intake is coming this long after the Intercooler.
  5. Rchive- An FL5 ownership journal

    This is great info, thanks,
  6. What did you do to your FL5 today?

    I have the same one. I only order Covercraft. They make high quality sunshades for sure.
  7. Shift Knob installation on FL5R

    beautiful looking shift knob brother and wonderful write up. I’m glad you were able to get it. It feels fantastic too, doesn’t it? The extra weight and shape of that is my favorite thing! Cheers!
  8. Parts came in for the seat recall

    ya they pulled same crap with me over the phone. I said it’s a stop sale recall and gave them my vin#. Said I wasn’t driving in for something they can verify over the phone. She finally agreed and said yep, you’re affected. Made the appt over the phone and took it in. I’m not doing 2 trips lol.
  9. Parts came in for the seat recall

    when I dropped it off I told the advisor and the lead tech about the issues I’ve heard about online. Specially the scratches at bottom of door sill area and wrinkles, stained, loose seat covers. They assured me they’d have no issue. Mine was first one the dealer has done and it was 100%. No...
  10. Parts came in for the seat recall

    lol wow. That’s ridiculous. Took them 3 hours to do mine and an oil change. Dropped it off at 9. They called me at 12. Sounds to me like they didn’t start actually working on yours until late in day instead of the 10am APPT
  11. Overland Designs suede wrapped center console is amazing!

    overlanddesigns.com is their website. Shoot them an email. If you want the exact same thing, just email them a picture of mine and say you want same thing. Or you can ask them for different setup. They’ll email you a price and instructions and what to do.
  12. Overland Designs suede wrapped center console is amazing!

    ups shipping delayed on both sides of the ball so that took 1/3 of the time. I shipped it out on a Thursday evening. UPS didn’t even ship it from my town until Friday night. Item doesn’t move all weekend because “UPS” then the item is delayed another 2 days when it reaches 1 hour from my house...
  13. Parts came in for the seat recall

    Shouldn't be anything special. I had the seat done and oil change as well today. 1st time at my dealer doing the seat recall. Took them 2 hours for the seat. No scratches or mishaps on my side. Seat feels the same to me afterwards.
  14. Overland Designs suede wrapped center console is amazing!

    You haven't lived until you've eaten cheetos while driving a type r with alcantara wheel lol
  15. FL5 Adaptive Sound Control and Active Exhaust Valve Discussion

    I did it a few weeks ago. You do need to take the vent out unfortunately but it's not difficult. Just use plastic pry tool and start from the passenger side and gently pry out. It's kinda flimsy so support it along the way. Pro Tip: Be sure to zip tie the cable when you unplug it so it...
  16. Overland Designs suede wrapped center console is amazing!

    I have the sonax cleaner and to be honest, the shifter plate area never gets touched. Armrest gets all the action. I had the shifter wings on my fk8 and they never got dirty. I’m sure with regular upkeep it’ll be fine though. I definitely wouldn’t have done it had my fingers been constantly...
  17. Overland Designs suede wrapped center console is amazing!

    Sweet. Definitely my next interior purchase.
  18. Shift Knob installation on FL5R

    No problem. It can be a regular Phillips screw. Doesn’t have to be Allen. Take the one in the adapter inside the store and just get a few different lengths. That way you’re not going back and forth.
  19. Overland Designs suede wrapped center console is amazing!

    I feel like the red is really close to the seats but not 100% I mean for my OCD, its pretty close. I feel like the seatbelts, the seatbelt holder clip and the seats all have varying shades of red from one another but it all still matches well. I think someone mentioned earlier either here or...
