Your FL5 concerns are basically spot on. The FL5 handles exceptionally well, but low speed wheel spin is unavoidable, and you can't point the car with the throttle at all. IMHO, the best balance of traction and power is at OEM levels. Also, the motor sounds like a vacuum cleaner with the carpet...

Because I just don't think the K20C1 is a great engine. It makes pretty "mid" power with mushy midrange, is not emotional at all, and massively limited by being front wheel drive. I really thought it was a great chassis, but for me bikes and cars are 80% about the engine experience. This isn't...

Personally, and this is just my opinion, get it fixed and trade it in. The FL5 is a really outstanding handling car, but the engine is characterless and underpowered. I would get your value out if while it's still a hot commodity. Strike while the iron is hot so to say. It will always be a front...

Any increase in power is going to come with an equal increase in wheel spin. The FL5 is at the limit of FWD traction to begin with. It's a great car, but honestly, you're throwing money out the window trying to make it something it's not. For the price of the car + mods, you're talking nice 997S...

Baloney.

The wing is a bird bench.

They gave me MSRP of a 2023 FL5 as trade in. I paid zero in taxes. I got $2000 off a CRV Hybrid Sport L and had roughly $2500 residual applied to the CRV. Good deal, and love the CRV. Fun and way more useful.

The day I decided to sell my GRC; I had just left getting a haircut and it was wet from fresh rain, but no longer raining. As I was waiting to leave the parking lot, a 20 something kid with a bad haircut in a riced out Corolla XSE was literally hanging out his driver window doing all sorts of...

Bought on Blackhawkjapan. I sold my FL5, but these fit FL1/FL5. $250 shipped for the whole set. SOLD

As seen here. Mugen | Hydrophilic LED Side Mirrors | Honda Civic Type R | FL5 K20C1 – Civic Type R Parts (dream-automotive.com) I sold my FL5 and have these sitting, unopened and never installed. I had some plans for OEM+ style build, but prefer a rear/mid engine RWD for a performance car. The...

The The handling of the FL5 is astounding, but I find the power to be kind of flat midrange. It’s a quick car for sure, but it doesn’t set my hair on fire like I need it to. My senses are so ruined from flying 4,000hp helicopters and riding super nakeds, so I admittedly have ridiculous...

Car is SOLD everyone. It’s going to appear in Hennessy Honda of Woodstock used inventory any day now. I traded on a CRV Sport-L to downsize my 4 car family fleet to 3. Currently rearranged budget for a Turbo S as garage queen. FL5 is an amazing driver's car, but really at the limit of FWD power...

He was hiding from me. Didn’t notice until now.

I'm going to regret this, but I don't like obsessing over it and worrying about it. I got it in October 23 after a 2 year wait on a pre-order, and I just never drive it. Just under 600 miles on the odometer. I did oil/filter change at 500 miles, with Pennzoil UP 0w-20 and OEM filter, added moly...

It has rejected the fake pops and bangs. I recommend installing fake airvents from Autozone on the fenders, this way the car will be convinced of it's new lifestyle.

Is this the new Mini unit?

I also hate rattles and vibrations. I had Hasport 62A on my FA5 and it made a terrible vibrating humm in the car. I swapped back to fully window welded OEM mounts and loved it. The FL5 with the powerflex, there are some slight vibrations transmitted, but it hasn't made anything rattle. I mean...

I am in agreement with this. I used a PowerFlex yellow insert on the RMM, and it feels much better and very similar to an actual aftermarket replacement RMM. I would encourage people to try this before they buy an RMM that is 6-8x the cost. I've done everything from solid Hasport mounts back in...

I'm sorry, but I have a hard time digesting reviews from people who appear to have only started driving a few years ago.

Yes. There is a digit change earlier in the VIN for 24 models.
