What did you do to your FL5 today?

[Clark_Kent]

This is AWESOME info! Thank you so much!

I’ll post some pics and deets in a bit fellas. I didn’t want to take too much attention away from what this forum is for, but I also knew y’all weren’t gonna just let this slide unnoticed. Here’s a little preview from the day I bought it. @Clark_Kent @ABPDE5

Amazing brother, congrats! I will join you soon enough. I badly need one of these. Can't wait to learn more about it.

Ah the great GheyP1 vs GheyP2 debate. As an owner of the GheyP2, I’m going to say the answer is NSX NA2

Congrats! Super jealous, that's what I want to add to my garage someday soon. Condition looks great! Out of curiousity, why not the ap2?

Thank you! I definitely would’ve considered an AP2 if I found one in as good of condition as this car (and the price was right). But this one was in front of me and it’s the OG (and single owner and original). Neither AP1s nor AP2s show up in my area for sale often and when they do they sell quickly. My intent was just to check it out and sit in it (to see if I even fit), but the car ended up being better than I imagined. I was mind blown. Coming back from the test drive, I was absolutely shook.

Part of me lightly wishes I got an AP2 primarily for the TCS, rear glass window, and other minor creature comfort stuff, but I also liked the idea of owning/experiencing this legendary car in its purest, most analog, form…and that sealed the deal.

Dude…you do NEED one. One of my best friends had one (before his NSX). His words : “My only regret is selling it.” I really think it’s one of those cars that every enthusiast should own at some point in their car journey while clean examples are still attainable and not ragged out.

Ghey? Lol! Also, no one is debating here. They both have their pros and cons.

My buddy went from a AP2 to an NSX NA2. Indeed the NSX is next level. What’s crazy is how VERY VERY similar they both are to drive, including how they feel and handle. They are definitely big bro and little bro and both KICK ASS.

Titan7 T-P10 Forged 10 Spoke +45 offset been considering look pretty sweet. What you guys think and the offset ?

I think that's the best design from Titan7 for this chassis. I have 19" +45 TS-5's that I kept from my FK8. I don't think they work as well on the FL5. I prefer this as it resembles a ZE40 or the OEM forged wheels. I'm moving away from +45 wheels and trying to track down a set of the OEM forged. I'll deal with a little bit of tuck to eliminate the small amount of torque steer I get with the change in offset.

Big weekend. Installed the project aero front lip, the OEM backlit door sills, and did the map light mod. I had to do the same mod to make the map lights work properly in my FK8. Not sure why Honda leaves out the 5 cents of wire needed to make it work. I didn't post about it, but last weekend I retrofitted an MDX homelink mirror. I was hoping to get the OEM forged wheels in this weekend, but the hunt continues for those. I also ordered the cargo dividers. I have the cargo mat with the little slots to hold them. I've always been interested in using them in conjunction with the cargo net to keep my groceries from scattering all over the cargo compartment. I haven't seen a lot of feedback on the forum for those. They must not be popular for some reason. Maybe they suck. I'll report back.

Update on the above: they do not suck!

They are mostly made of aluminum, and they store completely flat in the molded slots on the cargo mat. I'm pleased.

I decided to go with the BF Goodrich G-Force Phenom A/T Summer Tires 265/35r19. I’ll upload pics once mounted.

I also like the looks to

Went to the shop today and ordered in a bunch of goodies. Hopefully will be able to install them before summer ends.
