What did you do to your FL5 today?

[TheFactor]

I went back to the Type R module after doing 18 inch wheels and the Spoon Springs. I personally thought the Type S module was too soft after the 18 inch wheels and larger sidewall tires. I enjoy the ride more with the Type R module, Spoon Springs and 18 inch wheels and tires. I also prefer a firmer ride. The Spoon progressive springs certainly took some of the harshness away from the Type R module.

It all comes down to preference and feel so it will be curious to see your impressions.

I’m hoping to get her out after my dentist appointment today
Taking the CRV there parking sucks !
I prefer a firmer ride to so the stock module and Spoon Springs might be perfect.
I’ll keep ya updated
Edit: I’m running the stock 19’s

@jdezee Just got back from a quick ride down some familiar roads. I have to agree with you although early on I like the firmness also no slop in comfort with the type r ads mated with the spoon springs. Checked every mode and really liking every one of them so far. I think your right the spoon springs definitely take the harshness away with the stock ads . I also think with a stock suspension the type S module is the way to go but not with the spoon springs
Again early on but dont think my thoughts will change from my initial impressions.

Don't make the mistake I did - I had a flat yesterday and used the OEM pump to put enough air in it to limp the nearest tire place. What I did not know is that the OEM pump has a setting to push tire slime into the tire What a fucking mess. Only noticed the knob to change settings afterwards.

survived LOL does anybody have this issue with the seat belt losing tension while driving with the windows down?

Whenever I'm driving with the windows down it seems that the wind hits the seat belt and causes it to lose tension not sure if anyone else is having that issue as well? probably will be scheduling an appointment at the dealership

Thanks for the heads up.

I have the VIAIR 88P, JACO digital tire pressure, and Gooloo GP4000 jump starter in the trunk...

VIAIR based on research, and have another one in the Suburban
JACO and Gooloo choices were based on project farm review, very pleased with both

I have not noticed this. but I usually drive with only front passenger side and rear driver side open. this diagonal configuration gives good ventilation/airflow, no buffeting, and no wind in my face/eyes.

I also tighten the seat belt every so often since I like it snug, force of habit.

btw, love your watch, wore it for years (multiple models and variations, with/without address book, etc), until I had to use reading glasses to see the small digits...

It’s about that time of year in the Pacific Northwest. We are getting a lot of rain and bad weather. Mounted Continental DWS06+ tires all around and installed with Bonoss 20mm spacers.

Very nice.

This tire (and size) is my current top choice when I'll replace the OEM tires.

Just ordered this PRL CF steering wheel with leather. Almost went with suede but my mitts get sweaty sometimes and didn’t want it looking ugly in 6 months. Plus my stock leather wheel I have no problem with grip and still looks like new after over a year and a half although only about 4800 miles.
Anyway can’t wait to have it installed
EDIT: Also a big thanks to @Two Step Performance for the lightning fast shipping. Ordered it late last night and it was shipped first thing in the morning.

Would love to hear some clips of the exhaust. Stock dp and front pipe?

I feel like we did a pretty decent job at showcasing the HKS Hi-Power on our tester Red FL5



We also have 2x in stock right now if anyone wants to skip the wait line! LINK

Great looking wheel! Could you please do me one favor when you're installing the new wheel? Could you please take a picture of the old wheel superimpose on top of the new wheel? Everyone keep saying that a flat bottom wheel provides added space, but I'm having trouble understanding how a flat bottom wheel will be able provide that added clearance when it's reusing the same OE bottom trim piece? Thanks

Just gave myself an early Christmas present.
Ordered the HKS Intercooler and charge pipes. Along with the AlphaRex Nova LED headlights, in Alpha Black.

I think I’m going to have it installed since I heard sometimes the steering wheel can be off to one side or the other even though it’s a direct bolt on. That way if need be I can have the front end aligned at the same time I’m pretty OCD about that lol.
Maybe when it arrives I can try and take a picture for you laying it on top of the stock wheel when it’s still on the car .
