  1. Should i keep my safety net money in savings or refinance my type r!?

    I would put that money into a high yield savings acct, or similar, depending on your needs, if it isn’t already. Then I’d try to find a lower rate. You should be able to get about 4-6% in some sort of savings account, & hopefully you can get your car down to around 5%.
  2. What The F***!

    Lean/rich always refers to 14.7 afr. 14.7 afr (1 lambda) is the natural stoich (balanced) point of the chemical reaction of burning gasoline & air @ sea level. 14.7 units of air are required to completely burn 1 unit of gasoline. Afr greater than 14.7 means there is more air than required to...
  3. Car static

    I’ve never been in a Honda that didn’t shock me. I close the door with my arm.
  4. Weirdo 2025 Type R Noob wants to INCREASE ground clearance. He clearly needs help.

    There's a reddit saying weld drag 17" wheels can clear the brakes on an fk8, so I'm guessing they'd clear the fl5 brakes too. You could get some sidewall like it's 1988.
  5. New FL5 Break-In Period - Looking for Honda's Prescription

    Yeah you can’t miss it! 🤣🤣🤣 It is silly how it’s buried in a side note that’s not even really related.
  6. Widening the Track with H&R spacers (questions)

    You should be fine with the 20mm. The 15mm may or may not need some trimming.
  7. Fourth to third shift, 75ish MPH

    I’m sure you’re fine. I went from 6th to 3rd in my 14 Si once. Sounded like it went way past redline. That was over 100k miles ago & haven’t had an issue since. FYI, there is no rev limiter when you money shift short of sending a rod through the block.

  9. Stock rim paint too weak?

    While I agree the paint is thin/weak (wheels & car overall), you might consider your methods if you’re scratching the wheels while washing them.
  10. Type-R Wing Leaking?

    I don’t think it’s a one piece wing. There’s some sort of seam hidden along the bottom that holds a ton of water. I think the hatch & tail lights also hold a ton of water. Most of my drying efforts are back in the hatch. And it never fails to leak more water even hours after it was washed.
  11. Ohio FL5 Camo Vinyl Garage Banners/Poster Prints

    Pics? Either the 3x4 or 3x6. It would be cool to see the different proportions of possible. I’m trying to picture in my head. Is it possible to throw a type r logo on there somewhere? Thanks!

    Heck yeah!! I’ll be in for one when you get CBP available. Thanks!
  13. Asked a Honda engineer about the factory fill and whether there was any benefit to keeping it in longer

    It definitely seems like it was an afterthought. Most of the gray box talks about overheating the steering & unrelated things. Then a tiny blurb at the end about don’t thrash the motor for 600 miles. 🤣
  14. Asked a Honda engineer about the factory fill and whether there was any benefit to keeping it in longer

    The 600 mile “break in” is in the 2024 US manual. It’s barely a paragraph, at the bottom of the gray box on page 488.

  16. DIY Splash Guards

    Looks great! I’ve been considering the same thing, but I can’t find the plastic at my local Menards.
