  1. FL5 Custom Engineered Michelin PS 4S

    My as fitted, from factory, ps4 tires on my FL5 were completely shot at 5000 miles of driving on West Virginia paved goat paths..I would not fit another set on a bet..They had chunks missing, edge of tire missing tread, worn perfectly even across the entire tread, but ragged and worthless at...
  2. FL5 Custom Engineered Michelin PS 4S

    Honda dealers use Tire Rack to source their dealer ordered tires..My Conti DWS 06+ came in at $133 discount over standard pricing. I can't use PS4 because I live where the temps get way below the operating temp range of PS4 tires.
  3. Theft

    Where I live, in central WV, the cartels have fleets of slantback wreckers, parked in barns all over the county. They can scope a hit..drive to it, have it dragged on the back and away in 10 minutes..then that mark is transferred into a privately owned, bought at auction U-Haul box van, and...
  4. Reroute of battery to trunk

    In this age of computer control, I wonder if Honda, like my BMW, has a way to know the ohm or other identifier of the present battery connection. If it does, then extra wire, resistance or other identifier will tell the car not to use the " noted" part until all "factory" identifiers are in...
  5. Rear brake pad burn rate with TC Control Off, VSA Off, Pedal dance

    colour me noob, but what is the "pedal dance" to totally disable the traction control..I am interested. I use the short tap to moderately disable the system, but my front and rear brakes are done at 20000 miles.
  6. Dealer discount tire price

    Tires are perfectly even all across the tread(or lack of it)..I am having my new DWS06+ installed this Friday..The Honda dealer does a four wheel alignment as part of the mount and balance..After the alignment, I will have the numbers I am running now and the numbers the Dealer put on them..I...
  7. Question about CRC intake valve cleaner

    I have never seen a "top tier" label on a gas pump..but I have just been driving in the USA. The point that I was attempting to make was that we have options..We can buy discount,but gov. allowed minimum additives, or we can choose brands that have up to 19 times more protective additives than...
  8. Theft

    It isn't just fl5..it is anything with a keyfob..
  9. Theft

    welcome to Florida..Sorry about your loss, but there is a mobile criminal element in Miami that is ahead of law enforcement in terms of enforcement. I agree..get the payout..start over.
  10. Question about CRC intake valve cleaner

    I agree with the do not use mention. The best way to assure minimum buildup is by using top tier fuels and keep the engine from lugging..Top tier fuels have up to 19 times the carbon reducing additives than cheap low tier fuels..Top tier may be a bit more $$, but how much is an engine teardown...
  11. Dealer discount tire price

    I wouldn't buy the PS4 Michelin tyres with anyone's money..Firstly, where I live, wintertime temps can drop below 0 degrees F..Secondly, the original set of OEM Michelin PS 4 tyres wereworn out in 5000 miles. The Conti DWS 06+ is my best option, as they lasted three times longer than the...
  12. Dealer discount tire price

    $1500...4 new Conti DWS 06+ tires, mounted, balanced and a 4 wheel alignment. The dealer said the alignment guarantees the 3 year service warrenty on the tires in case medeatiopn occurs..and they would rather I get the best from the work done. I agree with them. The alignment sheet I get will...
  13. Dealer discount tire price

    Today, I called my dealer and priced a set of four DWS Conti 06 tires..mounted, balanced and alignment..The tires came back $33 cheaper than Tire rack sells them for..Mount and balance.$141.00..alignment 4 wheels, $90.00..For my money, that is a lot of my money , Well Spent..two year full...
  14. Fuel average after 5W30 oil

    Good call on the engine temp assisting in less carbon build up..Also...There are two levels of gasoline that are availble here in the USA..It has everything to do with the "additive pack" that is installed into the gas, either by the refiner or the fuel station..Tier 1 fuels have the minimum...
  15. Fuel average after 5W30 oil

    3000 rpm redline? Sir, I would say that you are "lugging" your engine badly..Have you looked at your oil pressure at say 1500rpm, where you sometimes shift up? This engine is not a tractor rngine..It needs some rpm to get everything running in harmony..You may want to run a compression check...
  16. MY2027 Paused for Civic Si

    Before I bought my FL5, I looked at the new WRX models..They were MSRP at around $39000..The dealer had 7 or8 different model/trim versions on the lot..They offered a shitton of value for the dollar..If Honda drops the 6 speed manual, they will surely FAFO, because Subaru is very much in the game.
  17. 2023 CW FL5 with accident - what is reasonable price to sell?

    $42000 sounds excellent from my end..In WV, where I live, I could not buy the car with an accident on the CarFax..and my 2024 was $47000 out the door. In my area, my 2024, clean title is worth about $35000.
  18. Engine Internals Power Ceiling

    Correct..but if one is paying $229000 for one and the WHP is 345, one may consider that as a reasonable limit for very reliable day in, day out longevity..just sayin..The FL 5 has a muich better platform in stock spec than most could ever use on a track..let alone on the street..and if a racing...
  19. I'm new around here

    Greetings..The FL5 will not disappoint you..I sold my BMW 325, bought the FL5 and never looked back.
  20. Engine Internals Power Ceiling

    There is a class of racing that uses only Type R..The main supplier of these cars sells them for $229000 each. They have sequencial gearboxes, paddle shif actuated. They haveextensive suspension mods...AND...they are tuned to 345 W.H.P.!!! I wonder why??and these cars weight 2900 pounds..and go...
