Finally got around to doing the fuse/exhaust valve thing. Definitely an improvement which is most noticeable at lower revs in car parks etc. Sounds decent to my ear.

This is great news. Hopefully that means the frieght forwarding service will get it soon. I'm so excited to try this. Out of interest, has anyone tried adding sound deadening under the rear seats while they are up?

Looks so nice. Definitely on my list of future upgrades.

Here's what the stock speakers and tweeters look like in case anyone is curious.

I had the rubbish OEM honda speakers upgraded to Infinity Primus speakers today (in Australia we don't get the BOSE but do get parking sensors and folding mirrors). The stock speakers were laughably bad. No bass or definition. Bang for buck the Infinity are really good and it has been a great...

I can’t stop thinking about this wing. For me it suits the fl5 better than any other. Who did you order from? Was it direct from Varis?

It’s an FJ Craft boot mat. Had to buy it from Japan using a freight forwarding service. Really nice quality. Highly recommend.

It's from Trunknet. The good news is that it's really cheap not bein OEM. Avaliable on Amazon, just search for "Trunknet envelope style civic 2023". It's a great addition. Good luck.

Put in an envelope style trunk net. No more milk rolling around on the red boot mat on a spirited drive home from the shops :cool:

Just ordered through AllDiscountParts with an eta of 13/5/2024. I had to use a freight forwarding service to make the purchase (all the Acura parts sites won’t post to Aus or accept non-US credit cards which is super annoying). Fingers crossed i get it in a reasonable time. Looking forward to...

That's good to know. If it takes out even a small amount of the vibration I'm getting in the cabin then the small investment will be worth it. I'd love to hear your take on the Ohlins. I've been keen to go down that path but as the handling is such a massive part of why I love the CTR, I was...

Thanks so much. Sounds like the same issue I’m having. I’m going to give this a try. Hopefully I don’t damage the dash getting the panel off. Looks like it will come off relatively easy though.

Thanks. I really appreciate that. I’ll let you know how I go. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with the CTR ADS module more there is something wrong with the roads where I live. They are getting worse. Rather than replacing asphalt with asphalt they are just spraying tar and then scattering...

Thanks. It looks like there are freight forwarding services that will buy it on my behalf (the sites are blocking my payment from a non US credit card). I really hope all the comments about the ITS ADS unit being a worthy upgrade are accurate. At least for those of us without a track nearby.

I agree. The CRC is an amazing car. If the CTR didn’t exist it would be my choice. I really liked the character of the engine too. For me though the FL5 is just way more focussed. We all agreed it felt the most like a race car. All three of these cars are epic though. All manual too.

Has anyone bought the ITS ADS module from outside the US? I really want one but with the reported delays and the need to use a frieght forwarding service it sounds risky.

Just got back from my first proper road trip in the FL5 with friends in their GR Corolla and M140i. We covered over 600km (372 miles) over the weekend through Australia's Snowy Mountains and Snowy Valley. In a country of terrible roads, these were some of the best I've experienced. There was...

Looks nice. Might have to get one of these eventually.

Nice one. I'm tempted by this but it's hard to find more details. I wonder what the general consensus is about the best sounding exhaust for the FL5? They all seem to have their merits.
