  1. Active Dampers too stiff on FL5. Disabled with Damping Cancellation Kit

    I -- and more importantly my wife! -- find Comfort mode to be acceptably compliant on our absolutely terrible local roads, especially compared to our GR Yaris and Jimny which are noticeably firmer over bumps. However, to my surprise, at least two persons who have ridden in the back seat...
  2. Initial impressions: FL5 vs. GR Yaris vs. ND2 Miata

    The marvelous thing about a Miata is everything is easily upgraded through the aftermarket!
  3. Front Splitter Clearance

    It's quite low and the overhang is considerable; I find the chin scrapes on inclines that never bothered my ND2 Miata.
  4. Official: 2024 Integra Type S Gets 320 HP!

    Are those tacked-on fender flares? A pity if they are... the clean, integrated flares of the FL5 would suit the ITS much better than an "aftermarket" tacked-on look
  5. 6mT Hatch’s: Civic vs Mazda3 Premium

    The Mazda 3 hatchback looks very sensuous but it's really tiny inside (particularly at the back row). It used to have a big edge with interior styling and quality, but the latest Civic closed the gap significantly. Between the two, the Civic is the clear winner overall for me and I'm speaking as...
  6. C&D - CTR vs GR vs GolfR

    Ooh. That's a surprisingly pedestrian choice of rubber for the GRC
  7. C&D - CTR vs GR vs GolfR

    GR Corolla comes with Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tires? Not 4S? (I'm wondering because the GR Yaris comes standard with 4S)
  8. 2023 Civic Type R FL5 - Reviews Compilation (Articles + Videos) ✍🏻 🎥

    Car and Driver comparison test: GR Corolla, Golf R, Civic Type R https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/comparison-test/a43158461/2023-honda-civic-type-r-2023-toyota-gr-corolla-circuit-2022-volkswagen-golf-r-compared/ Whoa landslide
  9. What does your individual mode look like for daily driving?

    Everything on Sport, suspension in Comfort for me
  10. Do you find FL5 rear end too planted on track, or quite mobile/playful?

    Thanks. I tried both Comfort and +R on the particular track we were at, and I didn't find +R unduly harsh so I went with that. I'll try it again with VSA disabled next time
  11. Do you find FL5 rear end too planted on track, or quite mobile/playful?

    Thanks, I had 40 psi front and 36 psi rear with the tires warm
  12. Do you find FL5 rear end too planted on track, or quite mobile/playful?

    Oh good point. I was on +R but had stability and traction control on. Would these driver aids completely preclude all weight transfer-related oversteer? Incidentally, the ride wasn't too firm at all in +R suspension mode, I guess the track was fairly smooth!
  13. I'd like my FL5 to sound like ___________.

    If it can sound like an ND2 Miata even, I'd be happy!!
  14. Do you find FL5 rear end too planted on track, or quite mobile/playful?

    Had an FL5 trackday, some found the rear end too planted and refusing to move even under trail-braking or lifting off midcorner. A bit boring and one-dimensional therefore for some, while some found that reassuringly safe and stable. However, all the reviews on the internet and on YouTube...
  15. Initial impressions: FL5 vs. GR Yaris vs. ND2 Miata

    I'm looking into downsizing to 18s in the future with as near stock offset as I can find, to try to improve the ride comfort
  16. Honda Alcantara Suede Steering wheel and Red shifter worth it?

    We get the alcantara wheel standard in our market, and compared to a smooth leather wheel it certainly feels nicer and much more special. I don't know how long it will last, but it's very, very nice while it's new. That said, I probably won't bother spending a large sum to get it over a...
  17. 2023 Civic Type R FL5 - Reviews Compilation (Articles + Videos) ✍🏻 🎥

    Harry Metcalfe loves the FL5, as can be expected!
  18. Initial impressions: FL5 vs. GR Yaris vs. ND2 Miata

    Thanks, I can't be bothered to do youtube lol. The ND2 is really fantastic in its own right and is definitely much, much more than the sum of its humble parts
