Does anyone have a set of FL5 forged wheels sitting around and are willing to check out the center cap for a part number for me? I've looked everywhere and I can't find it in any diagrams.
Also if you could measure the diameter of the cap it should either be 2 3/8" or 2 3/4".
You may be thinking that the wastegate rattle is the same as a window rattle. It is not. It's just part of most modern turbocharged cars with an electronic wastegate.
I think it will be a TSB at some point. I can live with it for now and I think Honda will figure out the fix before the warranty expires. If not I'll be sure to note it with them before it does so that they will be on the hook to fix it in good faith.
It seems like both of my front windows do...
I have a feeling we will be going through waves of these types of posts whenever there are big shipments to the US...
Nothing is wrong with your car - it's just the way it is. This engine had the balance shafts removed intentionally to free up HP and give it more character.
Honda make some of...
I bet we will find that the Type S might plug right into some sub-harness or module. It could take some time until someone decides to try it.
You would have to drill holes in your bumper. Personally I don't find parking sensors worth how bad they make the front and rear bumpers look.
Congrats! Good write-up. I’ve seen your name a lot lately so it’s great to hear you’re an owner now!
Report back when you’ve broken the engine in. I’ve had mine for over a year and still love driving it daily.
I've never had this issue on my 2023 FL5 but I have noticed that when I first turn the wheel after starting the car it makes a clicking sound/feeling. I assume it's the steering lock disengaging or something. I figured it was normal.
When I clicked into this thread I thought I was going to hate it but I think it looks better with a more square wing on the rounded hatch. It looks more aggressive but works proportionally.
The low rear perspective of this car is the only angle I don't personally like in stock form.
Bump for the new owners...
I've seen a lot of LASFIT floor mats lately. I personally can't imagine such an ugly logo taking over so much of my interior which is why I prefer customizing something like WeatherTech. Just trying to share an alternative for anyone who wants to DIY a little.
I...
Yeah that’s not what I’m looking for. It looks like you have an FL5 replica wing for non-Type R Civics.
This is the wing I’m looking for:

This has always been my fear with tracking a car that I owe money on. I would be at the mercy of the insurance company/actual owner of the car to get things sorted.
I know everyone says to "just get track insurance" but I've always been skeptical about how well it really works for the low cost...
A drop-in filter does nothing but increase sound and reduce filtration performance compared to stock. While I doubt the PRL intake adds much performance (especially on a factory ECU) I do expect it to heat soak less than other open designs on the market.
How did you not notice that black scratch around the emblem when you took delivery? To me it looks like the PPF shop ripped the paint off moving the material around without enough lubrication.
Another guy with a Boost Blue 2023 had the same issue and it was the PPF shop that ripped the paint...
