I’ve read of people deleting both and regretting it because of awful drone issues. This makes sense because the stock exhaust is designed to have at least 1 resonator (the one directly under the cabin). With zero resonators…well, now you have nothing controlling resonances. I think it’s best to...

FL5 has awesome seats, but they aren’t as “forgiving” of all body types (bigger guys, including those who go to the gym and have large backs and thighs). I hesitate to say the seats are a pro across the board. I’ve even seen someone put Si seats in their FL5. Definitely sit in both cars and see...

EU Type R’a do have some features that the NA Type R’s don’t, which scales the price up a bit (in the EU). Still…EU Type R’s shouldn’t cost so much more than the ITS. That’s insane! Though, thinking about that, if EU imported ITSs then the price of those would be ridiculous too, I imagine.🤔

It’s 40 total. 10 for EU. The rest are for JPN, if I read correctly. No word on a Special Edition for NA yet…but I would expect something to shore up soon.

Yep. SUPER common, especially on vehicles that aren’t $$$. It’s not difficult to spot (including on others makes/models) when you know what to look for.

Adjust the bump stops on the sides of the hatch door. Mine were loose from the factory, so when I hit bumps the latch would “clink.” If they’re lowered too much, they can probably interfere with the latch catching properly (when closing). I think the latch position has some adjustability as well.

Yep. Coming out of the craziness of 2022 did not help matters either. I think people forget that. My local dealership was selling beaters (from auctions etc) for a long period of time just to have something on the lot to sell. The fallout of the pandemic hit the economies of smaller cities/towns...

Source?

Agree. Just use jack pads. Hell…a piece of wood can work. I’ve even used a wadded up shop rag in a pinch (pun intended)! I think these pinch weld protectors that are attached to the car are more for folks who have shops do the work. I think someone else here mentioned that they put them on the...

If the info isn’t from Honda, then it’s just more speculative click bait.

Lol. Yes, I am very aware the platform is shared. Hmmm…I thought they had a different part number sticker or stamping on the modules. I could’ve sworn they do. Then again, I vaguely recall needing to be sure I didn’t accidentally reinstall my stock FL5 ADS when I did the swap last fall (because...

Ah OK. That aligns with what I had read (many months ago), except I didn’t now about the off-road qualifier. So, Pro race teams can buy a K20C crate engine, otherwise you have to prove you have a Type R to get one. Outside of that, your options are to get one from a junkyard or buy an engine...

I thought Honda only sold K20C crate engines to professional race teams? Maybe they make a specific crate engine for this and a different one for Type R replacements?

The fuse pull is really a placebo. If there’s any effect to exhaust sound, it’s VERY minor. The hype got blown way out of proportion…and a lot of that was because we didn’t know how/when the valve worked in the early FL5 days. Regarding the ADS, the only way to know for sure is to look at the...

LOL! There’s all kinds of things wrong there. Not saying I love yellow, but I also don’t dislike it. Check out the Spoon rendering that’s been around for a long time. Looks pretty awesome to me. The yellow looks correct, like Phoenix Yellow, too.

Looks like Honda Parts Now is located in CA. That may not mean this is where parts will ship from, but hopefully it’ll help the shipping cost situation. Sometimes giving these places a call can be more helpful than going thru their automated system online.

@Blindeye_03 Yeah I understand. I really don’t know if their body accessories are good, but they must be OK. It appears they make A LOT of parts for different cars. Maybe see if you can find info/reviews from those who bought the FK8 wing or a Subaru wing? I’m sure this will give you some...

Well, it’s just molded plastic. That’s where they cut costs. It seems that several on here have the Aeroflow front lip because they see it as something that’s going to get beat up anyway. As the saying goes: You get what you pay for. The OEM FL5 wing (not carbon) can be had for ~$750 + shipping...

1/2 the price probably because they aren’t coming from Japan. Just a guess. Otherwise…I have no idea if you could “clone” it into an FL5 version. Seems like you theoretically could. You might have to be the Guinea Pig tho.

KW coil-overs always come highly recommended. They’re not cheap, but they will give you both better ride quality and handling quality. Can’t go wrong.
