  1. OEM CF wing still made in Italy (3rd time a charm?) lol

    My dealer was able to price match online stores. Only caveat is that it needs to be sold from an authorized Honda Dealership somewhere.
  2. Clutch Damage?? **Just tried to accelerate while the parking brake was on :(

    Thanks everyone for the reassurance and advice 🙏 I took the car out this past Sunday and all seems fine 🙂 I totally hear you and agree. I came from the same thought process in that it has more torque and RWD with different strength in the components, even different quality. But then my...
  3. Clutch Damage?? **Just tried to accelerate while the parking brake was on :(

    Thanks guys for bringing me closer to sanity LOL. @TypeRD this was the owner of the shop my car was at. He was moving a couple of cars at that time when I went to pick it up. Just got tints and a ceramic maintenence wash. Been going to this place since I bought the car. This time I wasn't...
  4. Clutch Damage?? **Just tried to accelerate while the parking brake was on :(

    reviving this thread because maybe I'm a spaz, not sure. this same thing happened again, but this time I wasn't driving. The car was being moved in a parking lot, the guy was going to back up into a spot. I saw the rear suspension lift a few inches. I was like that's weird. Then it went...
  5. OEM CF wing still made in Italy (3rd time a charm?) lol

    Hey everyone! Finally decided to take another shot at getting this wing. The first two I got last year were messed up. Built in 2023 This one is good in terms of overall quality. But the clear coat is very soft. Built in 2025 and still made in Italy. I have been reading these were going to...
  6. 2023 Civic Type R Sets New FWD Track Record at Nürburgring!

    Honda will probably go after it with that HRC edition Type R.
  7. Weird noise when starting the car (2025 civic type r)

    Yeah a video would help. But the car does make noises when turning on, and especially after turning off. When you turn on the car, do you press the start button without the pressing the clutch, and then press it again with the clutch pressed in? Similar to turning the key to "ON" for a few...
  8. Drive mode switch bezel

    Weird place for a crack like that. I'm a little doubtful that temp change could do that. It would have to be extreme. But you never know. Do you normally take your car to the dealer or another shop for service or anything? Maybe it happened at that time.
  9. 2026 Tokyo Auto Salon: Civic FL5 Type R Builds Year!

    Been watching his channel for almost a year now. Shortly after I got my FL5. This is one of the best YT videos you will see for all the FL5s at Tokyo auto salon this year. Close ups and walk arounds of each one. Those HKS parts are nice and I've been leaning towards them for a while.
  10. Akrapovic FL5 Exhaust

    Such a copy paste response from them. But that's what I would expect lol. "We don't have any information about the exhaust system....but we did make it and install it on the car..." LOL I'll be surprised if anything is announced this year for that. I'm holding off on an exhaust until all...
  11. Prepping for Winter storage and tightened gas cap

    Woah that's intense! The recirculation part is a good idea! Oh and I have my tires filled at 40 psi. I also have wheel chalks for the rear as I do not have my e-brake engaged. And the car is in neutral.
  12. Prepping for Winter storage and tightened gas cap

    Apologies for the late reply, life is busy! Thank you all for the input and suggestions. I have the battery on a NOCO genius charger. I also decided not to add fuel stabilizer. The car is garaged and the tank is topped off. I'm hoping to drive it sometime in March. I had no idea VP fuels...
  13. Prepping for Winter storage and tightened gas cap

    Hey everyone, been a while! I just prepped the car for winter storage in my garage. Should be about 4 months or so. I took it out for a nice drive and got some gas to top it off. After I parked the car in the garage. I was going over the car exterior and interior. Then I decided to check...
  14. 2026 FL5 Speculation Thread

    Weird, really? I could have sworn it said "Coming Soon" under the pic for a while. And now I see there is a price listed.
  15. 2026 FL5 Speculation Thread

    Still nothing from Honda. But MotorTrend updated their 2026 Type R page from "Coming Soon" to a writeup of what they are expecting for 2026 (price and other changes). So not sure if they got something on the side from Honda, but there's that lol...
  16. Heads up on PLM-A02 filters

    Yep, Autozone also carry OEM on their shelves. I have grabbed a couple from them once in the past.
  17. Steering wheel vibration at hwy speeds (intermittent)

    I haven’t done anything about it yet. I dont normally drive around 70mph for extended periods. I'll most likely rotate my tires as a first step. Since I have a 2025, there is no worm gear/steering recall. This vibration was from the factory. Hope you hear back from the dealer/Honda. Would...
  18. Heads up on PLM-A02 filters

    Thankfully there are some dealers that carry the RTA-003 as well, which is where I bought them. But as long as the seller on Amazon is good and reputable, then it's generally fine. You might even find sellers on Amazon that are Honda/Acura dealers. I have always purchased my Honda coolant...
  19. Heads up on PLM-A02 filters

    Yeah dont know why they can't paint it before assembling the base plate lol. I have the one pictured installed right now. Oh well, at least the threads aren't coming out LOL. Im hoping the paint will just melt from the heat of the oil, or it will be caught by the filter since it's on the...
  20. First FL5 oil change mileage?

    The Honda break-in oil blend at factory was a thing back in the day. The way I know is it specifically stated in my owners manual under the Break-In Period....not to change the oil until the scheduled maintenance time. This was well over 15 years ago. I did just that for the first oil change...
