  1. HONDATA has been purchased by EPT

    I'm not ok with this. A consolidation of any industry always makes things shittier. Private equity is a scourge on any business sector and their only motivation is profit, at any cost. As noted above expect Doug to be driven out or his input greatly reduced, expect the product lines to...
  2. I made a 3D printable model of the OEM FL5 shift boot collar

    That black on red is a banger combo.
  3. New York Part out - OEM Wheels and tires and more

    Interested in pipe and RMM once/if recovered.
  4. Spying on you?

    https://www.carscoops.com/2026/03/nhtsa-impaired-driving-detection-tech/ It's not coming in 2027, and might not come at all. " The NHTSA knows that the tech doesn’t exist yet, so it’s not going to make a rule requiring it."
  5. 27won appreciation post

    Dyno video but no numbers. What is this world coming to? :D
  6. Type R sold in the US, from 2023 up until and breakdown by color

    I think they released data in 2023 but not in 2024 or 2025 separated from the Si and Sport models. If there were 3.3k sold in the US in 2023, and in 2024 I was seeing cars in the 19-20k plate range, it makes sense they were making about 20k per year globally. My '25 has a build date of 12/24...
  7. Trading in Brand new Si for Type R

    It's going to vary wildly based on what dealership you're going to trade in with. You're likely better off selling your Si to someone who was going to finance at their bank but want to save a little $$ on basically a new car. Wait it out to not get shilled at a dealership then take a trip to...
  8. High pitch squeal over 5000 RPM WOT

    Sounds like maybe air being pulled in or pushed out of a very small opening. Maybe some boost leak? I'd be curious not about the RPM but about the boost levels when you hear it.
  9. RV6 rear sway bar + billet endlink noise

    That would be one way to do it. Ideally you are not loosening and tightening things under a car without the car supported and secured in some way, i.e. jacks, lift, etc.
  10. RV6 rear sway bar + billet endlink noise

    You want to use a second jack and raise up your lower control arm/compress the spring to the normal height when on the ground. A measurement from lug to fender when on the ground is what I normally use. You can also lower the car onto something like a jack or the like. Make sure the car is...
  11. How aero is the FL5 really is? And why you should probably not remove the wang

    They talk a bit about the CF wing around the 4m mark in this vid. I think there is another one where they are indoors talking about the wing with more technical details but I can't find it anymore.
  12. Exhaust advice: Catback to Catless?

    Not running a cat is one of the worst things you can do for everyone around you on the street. The NO2 that your car would produce without one is a super toxic gas that leads to a whole host of health issues (especially for young kids), acid rain, ozone, and filters into food chains in the...
  13. I'm in for a manual, hybrid CTR.

    Fair points. I think it will be hard to top the FL5, but I think it's possible to make a car as good with some added benefits of a Hybrid system. I don't think it will be near the same price though. I'd guess the next CTR regardless of system will be strongly into the 50's. The 2019 CTR had a...
  14. I'm in for a manual, hybrid CTR.

    HAHA, I get it. Men don't like advanced technology or looking towards the future. You're only a man if you like old things, complaining about kids, or yelling at the clouds. Enjoy watching everything pass you by. :D
  15. I'm in for a manual, hybrid CTR.

    You're right that they haven't come out and said it directly, but they've said a lot to imply that it's likely. I think by the time there is another CTR design beyond the FL5 we might be in the next evolution of EU regulations which is what drives a lot of the engine decisions nowadays (and...
  16. Screw God spec. This is Thor spec.

    Comparisons to OEM spec. The 275/35/18 someone mentioned is much closer to OEM setup. Remember, the height of the sidewall is a ratio between the first two numbers of the tire size, not a direct measurement. 285 275
  17. I'm in for a manual, hybrid CTR.

    Making it AWD would be the right thing to do if they added motors. Maybe Honda will have in-wheel tech at that point? I've driven a few supercars that are hybrid and they way they are electrified is such a different experience than what most of us think of when we think of electrification...
