  1. The FL5 Dealer ADM Markup Thread

    This happened quite often in the early days. If you search through the thread you will find discussion on it. If memory serves me correctly cars disappearing from the site could be due to a number of reasons like the dealership removing it from inventory. I wouldn't be alarmed just yet.
  2. Looking for titanium exhaust fabrication shop Florida

    No personal experience, but try LHT Performance in Pinellas Park. They've released a number of videos on YouTube.
  3. FL5 HKS SSQV BOV release date

    Yes, and that's part of the problem. The older me might be over it after a week of driving. I try not to be like a dog chasing cars when these new parts come out. Honestly, I need to chill. The next thing will be to transition from this OTS map and move to a custom tune.
  4. FL5 HKS SSQV BOV release date

    Hmmm...is this something I need? :hmm: I had one of these on my STi. What a glorious auditory experience.
  5. 🚨 Attention FL5 Civic Type R Owners – Your Exhaust Setup Matters.

    Thank you for pulling this together; it's quite helpful. I considered building a similar thread, but the time got away from me. I wanted to share some unsolicited feedback, so do with it as you wish. It appears this guide is narrowly focused on the exhaust systems you are either a distributor...
  6. What are your favorite wheels?

    Late model vehicles tend to have better, or nicer OEM wheels relative to 20-30 years ago so the need for aftermarket wheels isn't as dire. I'm not a big wheel person, but the Volk ZE40 is it. It's an absolutely stunning wheel on the FL5 with the proper offset. A runner up would be BBS FR10.

  8. What did you do to your FL5 today?

    I included shipping. You're looking at ~$600 shipped. Johnny will likely be a bit cheaper.
  9. What did you do to your FL5 today?

    This sounds really good. Still relatively composed even with the aftermarket downpipe. The dual resonators and rear section are doing their job!
  10. Civic Type R vs. Ford GT

    The comparison is a myopic view of performance. Technology has come a long way in the nearly 20 years between the models. And performance is more than lap times, 0-60, and 1/4 miles times. The fastest cars are rarely the "best" cars. I think many here can agree what's more important than the...
  11. What did you do to your FL5 today?

    I got the ECU back from COBB Tuning and reinstalled it yesterday after the the tire repair. Flashed their 93 octane OTS map and took it on a short 15-minute test drive to ensure everything was good. So far, so good. :drive:
  12. Does the FL5 get free complimentary maintenance?

    When a dealer agrees to change your oil depends on the dealer. Some take a liberal posture while others are more conservative. The maintenance minder notification is triggered by a number of factors. For example, if you drive 30,000 miles in one year, the maintenance minder will trigger...
  13. What did you do to your FL5 today?

    @blueroadster I was about to ask the same. Where is it being sold for ~$400? Very little to no difference in sound and/or power at the power levels of most of these vehicles.
  14. What did you do to your FL5 today?

    I picked one of these up, limited edition! Got it repaired relatively quickly and didn't encounter a flat, so all good I suppose.
  15. What did you do to your FL5 today?

    Save your coins. Getting the front pipe alone doesn’t make much sense. You’ll spend ~$600 for a stainless steel pipe. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a nice one, a high quality one, but there are no distinguishing features or capabilities about it. The piece to have is the Ti mid pipe with resonator...
  16. What did you do to your FL5 today?

    Good stuff, glad you’re pleased with it. Videos would be helpful since you mated it to an aftermarket downpipe. I’ve put a couple hundred miles on the exhaust and it has gotten a little louder (re deeper). Nothing crazy but it’s noticeable. No rasp, no drone, no rattles - just a clean exhaust...
  17. FL5 Ultimate Edition in Europe. The last one.

    Likely, but it will still be lame.
  18. 2026 FL5 Speculation Thread

    I've asked our friends to the north about this some time ago. I was told it would be close to a push after jumping through hoops and paying import fees to get the car in the country. Maybe @onepointsix or another Canadian member can weigh in.
  19. FL5 Ultimate Edition in Europe. The last one.

    The Ultimate Edition is a lame sendoff car. This is the true definition of a parts bin car. What a disappointment. We'll see what Honda has in store for North America, but a nothing burger wouldn't surprise me. The 300-run GR Supra A90 Final Edition is a proper swan song car.
  20. Anyone used Black Hawk for Wheels?

    @TW00Si Thanks for having the courage to share your experience. Also, sorry this happened. I had a parts shipment held up in customs last year (pre-tariff) and the shipper (NOT BlackHawk Japan) wasn't all that helpful. In the end, disaster averted and I received my parts; however, I'm certain...
