I think there was a number for 2023 (I think was around 3k) but do we know how many FL5s have been made? World wide and US market?
From what I can find, there were 48k FK8s and about 20k were in the US. That was a 5 year run, I doubt the FL5 will be around for that long because of regulations
Have some lightly used Paragon R5 front brake pads.
They were used for 2 track days and about 1500 mile normal driving. They have about 90mm pad left (new pad is about 150mm so I would say 65% left on the pad) so a ton more life left in these. These were used with titanium shims for all thats...
Maybe I am going crazy but I am feeling some vibration (can feel it through the steering wheel) when car is cold until it warms up. Its very fraint but can definitely feel it (steering wheel specially), it goes away when car starts to warm up (basically gone in like 2 minutes) and then totally...
Currently have Paragon R5 in front and R3 in the back. Had some issues of vibration last track day which was most likely that I did not bed pads enough. Still have not gone back to the track but did do an auto X and pads were fine, they were pretty good, worked as they should.
However I cam from...
Anyone here has/is doing the LRP AutoX? Its pretty sweet course and how auto X should be, 4 hours, get tons of seat time and almost a mile corse, no cones. I had run this course before on my other car but was on car control clinics so I never ran for time (its way more fun to just drift the...
Was installing some wheels and using open lugs, have noticed that 1 of the studs is a bit longer than the others on that wheel. 4 of then the open lug still has a couple of threads while this single one sits flush, anything to worry about?
Also I am going to be using apex wheels and on the front...
I have researched a bit and most is about the FK8, I assume the FL5 is similar but maybe I can understand this a bit better.
There are a few modes for traction control
Disabling traction control in comfort/sport/individual disables it partly but not much.
Then you can disable it in R mode and...
Wanted to have my dealer put dot4 srf fluid on but they said they will not do it. Anyone had this happen? I talked to the scheduler and she said they won’t do it because warranty and insurance. Never had a problem on other brands, dealers were more than happy to upgrade brake fluid, pads, ss...
Am I being dumb for just changing the front pads to paragon R5s and leaving the rears as oem? Eventually will do paragon R3 in back but for the first track day thats coming up don't really want to mess with changing the rears because its kind of annoying. Don't want the brake bias to be thrown...
I installed a fire extinguisher bracket. I used the OEM bolts but they are a bit too short since the bracket ads a good 10mm so need to get new bolts.
Does anyone know the size of the bolts? both in length and pitch? I read that its an M10 with 1.25 fine thread? Is this correct? Also what is...
Bought this to install along side with a trunk paint protection, my PPF guy is going to throw in the door handle ppf for free so going to have him install those but already had bought these, I can send em back but seeing if anyone wants em, $20 shipped.
These -...
Just got myself some Apex EC7 wheels for my type R. These will be used for track duty. Car is stock height still and will remain that way for now. Going to get some Hankook RS4 tires (want durability instead of best times, I have used RE71 and yes they are fantastic but I want something that...
