You probably don't 'need' a JIS driver, but they're cheap and just nice to have. JIS bits will service Phillips fasteners. The important thing for me is to use a size 3.

I got a JIS bit set for my interchangeable 1/4" handle. I think it was under $10.

Just a FYI. One thing I see often is rounded Philip heads on the screws. It's a P3 screw. A P2 will work some of the time but can easily round out the slot.

I'm not so sure 'nice' matters much. I had things stolen from my car in a nice area of Santa Barbara, CA. The other time, I was parked literally by the front entrance of MIT on Mass. Ave. in Cambridge, MA. In both cases, the cars were BMWs. Maybe that explains something.

I'm not sure how effective it would be against professional thieves, but I bought a dozen Air Tags and have them everywhere in the car. I know you can locate them, but it will take a considerable amount of time.

The first time I replied to this thread I was 75 and had a '21 FK8. Time flies. I'm 79 now and have a '25 FL5. One of my grandchildren (who is 25!) now owns the FK8.

Yeah, 22mm. I'd get a socket with a nylon or Teflon sleeve around it. There isn't a lot of extra space around the lug nut. The sleeve will help prevent scratching the wheel.

Good job. I had to look very carefully to see any difference between the repaired part and the rest of the rim.

The blue Honda sticker looks like it has a piece of package wrapping tape holding it on under the final layer. I'd be real surprised to hear that this is genuine.

Black looks great when it's just been polished. Any other time, it shows every type of dirt, dust, water drops, etc. I've had black and many other colors. I'd never do black again.

My wife and I have had three Si and two Type R. You said your main interest was driving on track. Given that, go for the Type R.

Tire Rack's Advice Can I Drive Summer Performance Tires In Cold Temperatures? Can you? Or, should you? The simple answer is — no you shouldn't. Summer performance tires are simply not designed for near- or below-freezing temperatures. Here's a quick explanation of why. Summer performance tires...

A couple of people have mentioned cold. That's what it looks like to me, too. Was it cold out when you first saw this, like below 40°?

My wife had a similar accident with her '24 Civic Touring - misalignment, scratches, dents, creases in the bumper cover and grill. A local body shop ordered a pre-painted bumper cover, a new grill and new plastic mounting hardware. Nothing else was damaged underneath, so it all went back...

Tire Rack supplied the nuts for my winter wheel/tire set. After four years of daily, winter driving, on an FK8 and then FL5, they still look new. I'm pretty sure they're Gorilla.

What part of MA?

I had a similar pothole experience. The wheel survived, but the tire sidewall was pinched between the rim and the tread, just like yours. I only had the mini-spare and the blown tire was the right front. So, I jacked the car until both right wheels were off the ground, took the right rear off...

My 2025 FL5 isn't on the recall list (12/2024 build). But, my wife's '24 Civic was. I didn't drive it very often, but when I did, I saw that it was awful. At first, I called the dealer and was told 'no parts yet'. I drove it more making sure I tried it on different roads. On the highway, the...

The ozone statement makes some sense for 10-year-old tires. For yours, it doesn't make much sense. As suggested, have someone at Michelin or the dealer look at them.

Don't know what size those wheels are. They look like 20-21".
