The Madtrace Gen2 showed up the other day along with the OMP super Quadro wheel!
screwed it together and when I get back from vacation it’s going on! Love the carbon paddle shifters….but….
they may be too close to the wheel to use. We’ll see how it all looks mounted. But it’s tight.
Keep you...
Sometimes I go overboard with things just because. Like the TLX Type S had all titanium hardware for the fenders and front nose. It looked awesome! I’ll be doing the same for this car.
I Did see and pick up something pretty cool… some Greddy hose clamps! Just had finishing touch. And they were...
Hey all.
so I posted a little while ago that I did the black climate control knobs, it goes great with the black push button start.
I was a bit bummed that they did not make a radio knob so after a few weeks of not thinking about it, I decided to fix it.
I pulled it off, cleaned it with some...
Hey all! I've come across a few posts while google searching from years ago on here, but curious if or what is out there for adding a 'track' 4 point harness setup toe the FL5?
In my TLX type s I ran Braum racing seats and had custom seat brackets made, then used a 3 point mounted in the rear...
So ceramic coating is like pizza...everyone has a favorite. After years of trying a lot of stuff, I settled on 2 brands: Adams Polishes and CarPro. The later out of South Korea. Of the 2? The CarPro is a BIT better and lasts a long time! The Adams says "9 years or more...", where CarPro...
So after a record streak of sub 32 days, the most since 1915! Today it’s 51°.
First time since I bought the car on December 31, then I actually got to hand wash it! I ran it through a touchless a few dozen times over the months, but it was nice to actually get my hands on the car and see what...
So, being 60, things aren't as easy as they once were, so spending the day messing around with the FL5 was a bit more strenuous than it should have been, but the car is quite a bit different than it was on Tuesday!
I went out early, 7am, to start: suede wheel, Type S ADS module (daily use)...
So I drove for two hours today, one hour there, one hour back, to a little place in Wooster, Ohio, Germaine Honda, that sells stuff relatively inexpensive compared to some. I used to go there years ago to get parts for my old civics. Once every six months, I’d take a hike out there.
So I went...
So I've always wanted a Type R....and decades later, finally got one! Why? Because it's THE best FWD platform, in the world! When I had the TLX Type S, I liked it, it was decently received, but just wasn't THAT good. Until you made it better. This one? Perfect, nearly! Out of the box...
Hey all! Literally the first time on the freeway in almost a month, lol....and at speed I hear wind noise from the bpillar area...sounds like a loose rubber seal or something, but nothing looks amiss from outside. Anyone come across this?
I'll eventually get some tape out to see if I can...
So I saw this floating around that you can take the climate control dials off and put black ones on. So I immediately found a set online and did the mod.
Not only did this at about 40 hp, it looks amazing! The car is so much faster and just cleaner looking
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
so I've been a fan of Gran Tourismo for some time and since getting the FL5, have been using the FL5 more than usual. Always have EVERY Honda in my garage, usually x3 or 4 so I can have different versions, especially the older stuff! And sadly, why they don't have Acura?! Is beyond me.
But...
So I wasn’t sure quite where to post this but… Hear me out.
I am not one for gimmicks. I am also not one for making a car “look good“ unless it’s making it go faster or handle better. When I first bought the type R 3weeks ago, I was looking at all these carbon fiber pieces and… then I checked...
Not sure if anyone knows this offhand....but looking for some help on this as it's a NEW platform for me so I guess this is part of the research :)
Was considering a 10" rim with 285/35-18 rubber. BUT.....Might run a 10.5" rim with a 305/35-18 track focused tire. My problem is how much...
I remember back in the day, oh, 1991?...I had a 91 Civic Si hatch. 12 second all motor 1.6 liter! Yeah, stock engine. I Built in my basement. Full interior. Made the cover of...hmmmm....one of the import rags back then! Was a game screen for some PC drag racing game too! Epic shit...
OMG....so THE most disappointing thing about the Type R in the 2 weeks I've owned it was the HORRID, digital fake engine noise they pipe in when in +R mode...WHY?! WHY???!!! The engine sounds SOOOO good as it is! Why ruin that?! Like the newer ADX....sounds like a dying cow in sport mode...
Hey all. So I helped paragon develop a six piston caliper set for the TLX Type S.
Sadly, we never put it on the car because we got rid of it so I have a kit, the first one ever developed, sitting here collecting dust.
I reached out to them to see what I needed to convert this to the FL5. And...
So the GO TO TDP racing wheel is the TDP6, which looks like the iconic TE37 for a reason! :). And we were going to do another bronze version in 18" for the FL5, but....Considering going with something more SPOON looking?!
