  1. Disappointed with windshield

    Probably due to the combination of modern windshields being softer (safer against shattering into pieces in a crash) and thinner (for gas mileage weight and cost savings).
  2. OEM Carbon Wing Clear Coat Chip- Fix w/ Clear touch up?

    I had PPF installed on my FK8 carbon piece, but I imagine it wouldn't really be possible on this more complex shape?
  3. EDM module for emergency stop auto-hazards ?

    EDM FL5s have a feature where the hazards turn on automatically and hyper-blink during an emergency stop, whereas USDM cars don't (EU regulations probably). I'm assuming they don't come on annoyingly all the time, unless the accelerometer detects an extreme deceleration of the car. I imagine it...
  4. I hate seeing posts about Type R's getting stolen. Here are a few good/inexpensive products to keep your car safe!

  5. How confident are you about the security system on the Type R?

    Disklok steering wheel lock, pedal locks, parking mode dashcams with shock sensing, smart tags, couple of sets of wheel locks, couple of wheel boots on driver's side, etc. Garage the car at home, park in highest garage level at malls. No guarantee the car won't be taken, but make them work for...
  6. Is there a jack that can reach the front point easily?

    I have 2 of these in my garage - inexpensive and space savers, plus good to have a backup floor jack I guess. Other than ramps, not sure if you can find the one jack that is slim enough and can reach the front...
  7. And I thought my OCD was bad

    I used to tell Mavis NOT to put the center caps back on after they used to patch my tires back in the day, for this reason. My S2000 tech Billman is the only mechanic I know who would install the caps back on correctly without me telling him. :cool:
  8. Break in Oil Analysis

    You can give the vial to the tech and have them collect a sample mid-drain.
  9. Ohlins DFV Road & Track Settings Discussion

    I installed the CR suspension on my 03 AP1; it also had 7/6 spring rates. The ride was still comfortable for me, but then again, I had the stock Ford Econoline van-like stock height tire sidewalls on my 16 inch wheels though.
  10. FL5 tire rotation

    The forward-cross method for FWD.
  11. FL5 tire rotation

    I rotate every 5k miles (during oil changes).
  12. What did you ppf?

    That's good to know. Wasn't sure if the badges were included.
  13. What did you ppf?

    I would also add the front "H" badge to the list. These badges will eventually crack and you may get sick of constantly replacing them, but at least the film will hold it in place and you wouldn't be able to notice the damage from a distance. These badges aren't cheap either. I also had PPF +...
  14. Best front only or front/rear video cam brands and ease of installation...

    You can still have some fun with the rear cam. :cool:🙃
  15. Best front only or front/rear video cam brands and ease of installation...

    Agree - definitely useful for accidents. I provided this footage after some clumsy lady t-boned another.
  16. Best front only or front/rear video cam brands and ease of installation...

    I had the DR900X-2CH Plus 4K UHD-FHD installed with the detached LTE module in my FK8. There's also a non-LTE version of the DR970X-2CH Plus if you want a smaller, more discrete form factor for the front cam. Then you could just connect the external LTE module to the cameras. Blackvue cams...
  17. Active Dampers too stiff on FL5. Disabled with Damping Cancellation Kit

    Then the hardware is literally different, or the same but has a different p/n because they are from two different car brands even though Honda is still the parent company (not sure how they do their p/n assigning convention). Regardless, there is a separate p/n for the metal case and one for...
  18. Active Dampers too stiff on FL5. Disabled with Damping Cancellation Kit

    "39381-31M-A03" is the part number you reference when you order the DE5 ADS, right? This is the "top level" part number. I'm assuming that the FL5 ADS also has "39380-31M-A0**-M1" etched into the metal casing. If this is the case, it is because the FL5 and DE5 both use the same ADS hardware...
