*The FL5 Track Junkie Thread*

[BigBird]

I'm thinking just tracking with intercooler and radiator for the time being. Maybe next season I'll get some more POWA. I also want some pretty JDM wheels for the summer because I'm superficial I like the idea of an exhaust but is it really gaining anything? Will it still sound like a dyson vacuum?

More Power is the last thing you need for tracking.

Intercooler and radiator are for consistency.
JDM Wheels are good too, need to look back 4x instead of the 2x you currently do.

Exhaust I did because it adds to the experience and well it looks better, not for any gains. I also disconnected the fake sounds because those are buzzy and annoying.

That’s exactly why my car is modded for the first year of ownership. I’m unable to do the majority of work on my car for a myriad of reasons. So to pay for labor, I might as well do this and that all at the same time.

Yeah I pretty much get hosed on the labor. I could install some of the stuff if I really wanted too but I'd just break stuff with my monkey brain. Unless theres a DIY video I'll struggle. Takes me way longer too since I have no idea what I'm doing lol. Im new to wrenching on cars and bot good at all but I can follow instructions well lol.

I have been getting better though, oil changes and doing brake pads are way easier and faster now. Ive bought tools to make life easier, makes those jobs go by so much faster.

I never really cared about increasing the power, and don't plan on it. I just want cooling modifications so the car can withstand the Florida summer heat. So far its been good though since right now the only thing ending my sessions is the low fuel tank and shitty guage lol.

I have the same Radiator as you, mines coming in April. I think I'll get a tow hook installed at the same time.

For the exhuast I'm just being extra I got a Ram Air Intake (don't care that its open box so it runs hotter) and it sounds so badass. The car is just begging for a proper exhuast to pair up with the my intake. I never heard a stock FL5 vs one with an exhuast in person so idk tbh. I just seen the clips and it sounds badass so me want.

PWR had small black fri/x-mas sale earlier

Just picked up the Mishimoto coolant tank someone was selling NIB. I will do that when I replace the radiator and MAYBE RV6 intercooler? Or just get the PWR?

yep, but it was a barely noticeable price difference for the FL5

left out small "discount"

It’s “small” discount

15% and free shipping is about the best anyone offers. The biggest discount i could get with them I'd need to order 25 units lol

[TW00Si]

10% off is widely used. Just need to give them an email address. My guess is that it’s easier to give because that’s what sales tax and filing is for. To make up that difference.

 

[Tougefl5]

it was 10%

Would you have bought at 15?

I wouldn't have bought it at anything lol. It's too rich for my blood.

I'm of the poor FL5 owner club.
