  1. Is it time to say hello to Type R and bye to S2000? Need Help!

    Are you in a position to keep the S2000 and just add the FL5? That's the answer. Oddly I have the FL5 and if the right option came for an S2000 I'd buy it.
  2. What is a good first mod?

    The shifter end bushings and mount bushings ... is this a fairly easy straight forward job?
  3. Two Days, 100 Miles: My Initial Dive into FL5 Ownership

    I went with the Mishimoto. I just did have the dealership replace my tank under warranty so I haven't had a chance to install the Mishimoto yet.
  4. Two Days, 100 Miles: My Initial Dive into FL5 Ownership

    Congrats on the MSRP find. Just FYI my coolant tank didn't last a year so that upgrade is a must in my opinion. Horrible design.
  5. "The Search".. not what i expected.

    Just out of curiosity what was the least amount over MSRP were you quoted on the left coast?
  6. Random first-day impressions...

    Here's one thing to consider. The coolant expansion tank design is crap. I have CTR in my driveway I won't drive because the coolant tank failed at 10 months (19k miles) and the dealer can't get the part in for a week. A plastic pressurized tank that is a 2-piece design is destined to fail at...
  7. How is your CarPlay experience?

    I have android and have never had a single issue. Does it seem to be IPhone specific? If not it seems that you hear about more owners having issues with Apple CarPlay as opposed to Android Auto.
  8. Is everyone having a hard time getting parts?

    Yes it is a horrible design. It's 2-piece plastic with a seem in the middle that is super prone to leaking. I have coolant all over the back side of my engine compartment where it failed at the seem. There are a few aftermarket replacements. I went with the Mishimoto which is a 1-piece aluminum...
  9. Name five things you like about the Type R and five things you would change...

    Actually my Mishimoto tank arrives tomorrow. The installation looks pretty straight forward.
  10. Name five things you like about the Type R and five things you would change...

    My coolant tank failed at just 9 months of ownership. Now my car is parked until the dealership can source a new one. ( I will be installing aftermarket tank) Then the service writer tries to tell me they have redesigned coolant tank. BS... same part number since 2017.
  11. Is everyone having a hard time getting parts?

    My new car is parked right now because my dealership couldn't locally source that crappy designed coolant expansion tank so I have to wait a week for it to come in from California.
  12. Question about jacking/lifting FL5

    The pinch welds are a perfectly acceptable place to jack up the car. As stated above in the owner manual.
  13. Blackhawk Japan

    I’ve had great experience with Blackhawk Japan. Both of the orders I have made delivered rather quickly.
  14. What did you do to your FL5 today?

    Installed a Cusco rear sway bar.
  15. My 1st reliability hiccup

    My mechanic nephew was installing a sway bar for me today as soon as he popped the hood he said "I smell coolant". Sure enough back side of engine was wet with coolant as well as the reservoir which was almost bone dry inside. We went ahead and did a pressure test and found that the reservoir...

  17. Typical oil pressure for FL5?

    I'm going to run 5w-30 this summer. I'm leaning towards HPL 0w-30 year-round after my stash of 5w30 is gone. My idle is also right at 20psi (warmed up engine)
  18. OEM forged wheels on CW FL5

    I have mine. Mounted tomorrow and I'll have them on the car in a month or so when it's time for summer setup.
  19. Well, I bit the bullet, and got the Wheels

    Looks great! Mine were delivered today ...
  20. Normal oil temperature seems low

    I also heard this, but since oil has been known to and often does shear I wonder how much of a real difference viscosity makes in the oil temp reading...
