Can someone confirm if the Tomei system can be installed with the rear undebody piece that covers the muffler section in place? Tomei's pictures all had that piece removed....Also since this does not have a valve I assume you need to pull a fuse or something?
I had a rental car over the weekend and AA functions perfectly with my phone(Buick Encore GX), so thats one other question answered if it has something to do with the phone I was using...
Might not even be a production delay but a port processing delay.....
But yeah not the best news... T7 will end up being my daily/rain tire wheels. My comp wheels just got the tires mounted today.
FYI they are just plain, nickel plated nuts with tapered ends as opposed to the ball ends like the stock Honda ones.
I think I just use their live chat service and told them what I needed. If you let them know what car you have they will pick the right ones.
I have 275, probably materially not a whole lot of difference between 275 or 265. I am just used to buying slightly pinched setup for autoX.
I am also not really one to spend a lot for lug nuts, actually last time I had to buy coned profile nuts I just bought them straight from Tire Rack for...
I mean sure, its the color, the price and timing. But it would be way easier to just order a car and wait. Like how you can buy most other things in life...
It probably makes more sense in terms of what is "popular" if most of us get to pick....most of us only get to decide if the car showed up at the showroom we want to buy or not....
I have a CW, I didn't pick it, but I don't mind it. But I'd rather have a RR. Honda decided that most of us should...
Coming from MK7 GTI, to FK8, it was nice that FK8 had so many interior storage places. I watched the StraightPipe video of that car and that really sold me on the practicality of the car(despite the goofy look). FL5 is rather lacking in this respect.
I never messed with pads on my FK8, ran through I think 3 sets of stock Honda(Brembo) pads. No real complaints aside from being super dusty and wears pretty fast. Would be nice if there are less dusty option that doesn't sacrifice pad performance.
Thats with no tracking, I'd likely swap rotor...
Hopefully Apex does come out with something FL5 Type R specific eventually. The recent small group buy from Titan 7 I did jump on, but I also ordered something else too so I can get dailying set as well..
Coming from dailying FK8 for 75k miles, its definitely noticeable...
Its also noticeable just by watching most of the review and noting how much the driver bounce around...
3 seized at Nationals back in 2019...had to go to O'reily's and buy some generic ones to swap out. At least FK8(and I hope FL5 too) you can get the studs in and out without taking the hub off...
Swapped all of the stud after the local later had more seized then I stopped using impact to...
FYI its 9.5" width you need, not 9... stock wheels are 19x9.5 ET60.
Are those the ARP stud PN that you need for this car? I had so much trouble with the stock Honda studs on my FK8 I stopped using impact on my wheels because I think I've broken 7-8 wheels studs in the first year I had that car.
