Jesus, I would have bought that Si from you out of principal, good job! How much did you sell it for if you dont mind me asking? Also, I'm assuming you had to replace the clutch?
I do not regret buying my FL5. The FK8 was perfect with the exception of the Rims and Tires (easy fix) and the transmission. My FK8 had 1-2 grinds, 3rd gear lockout, and 4th gear lockout. I tried all the fixes and even brought it back to the dealer. I was unable to resolve the problems. The...
I think it's all about perspective. I love the absolutely vicious handling of the FL5 at low and high speeds, the strong brakes, the great visibility, the incredible shifter feel, the lightness of the clutch, the supportive seats, the usability of the hatch, the rear seat leg room, and the...
My windows are not tinted. I want people to see my family inside while I'm driving, I'm hoping that the sight of a 10 year old in the back seat will give them pause. I've owned a ton of Performance cars but none of them seem to elicit the same response.
Btw, a 2019 Civic is an excellent car. I...
I don't mind someone driving next to me and throwing a rev, but to tailgate for that length of time is criminal. Even when I owned my GT500, I've never had that amount people trying to race me in one trip.
The bumper sticker comment was tongue-in-cheek btw.
So Iām driving from CT to NY, in the center lane, and some idiot in a blacked out Honda Accord comes up on my rear at about 90 mph. I'm going about 65. I have my wife and kids in the Type R. I merge to the right in order to let him pass. The scumbag stays on my tail, merges to the right, and...
Let me clarify when I wrote I take it easy on my transmission. I often redline my 1-2 shift and I shift quickly. However, my 1-2 shift is a hair slower than my 2-3 shift, which is a hair slower than my 3-4 shifts. I donāt treat all of my shifts the same. Iāve driven all of my manual cars the...
Congrats on the car! Don't let the negative interaction of the dealer sour your experience, its a stunning color! Cali is a different market than the rest of the States. I think 8K is probably an average to good price out there. Boost Blue was not my initial choice in color, but having owned it...
Does not seem normal to me. I sold my prior FK8 because off the transmission issues (1-2 grind, 3rd and 4th lockout). The FL5 has been perfect. However, I do take it easy on my 1-2 shifts.
I'd bring it to the dealer 1st. If that doesn't fix things, switch out the transmission oil (although...
