Saw an FL5 yesterday with OEM wheels flush with the fenders and it looked amazing. Then I found this thread. Appreciate everyone posting what they did with pics.
It seems like 20 front and 25 rear is a touch too much for what I want so I think Im going to try with 15mm Front and 20mm Rear.
IMO doesnt sound that great in that video. I dont get wanting to keep the exhaust valve or not wanting it open all the time. The car is too quiet even without it. I hate drone but I still want to hear it not just when my foot is to the floor. Maybe my hearing is farther gone than I think...
Ive owned civic SIs back in the 80s and 90s and loved them. My last one was an 08 that wasnt fast but was a ton of fun to drive. I imagine the latest Si is the same not the fastest thing out there but fun to drive as a daily. It was disappointing to me that they never pushed it over 200 hp...

first oil change at 1000 miles and second at 3200. Copper and Iron significantly lower, Aluminum up but was double the miles. Horizon/Amsoil uses a different test for fuel dilution than blackstone.
My car runs short trips during the week and gets exercise on the weekends. Interesting...
It wont affect performance at all and you will never see it but im guessing it will bother you forever knowing its there and you will think your car is slower because of it so have them send a replacement.
Bought a new 2025 with 7 miles on it, for MSRP in late February 2026 No add ons, no accessories, no bullshit, no pressure and no attitude from the dealer The car hit the floor friday Feb 13th, I looked at it that Saturday and went back Monday Feb 16 and bought it. It was Presidents day...
