Struggled removing option A out of the console on a sample piece. Option B fresh out of TCad, going to try the first print tomorrow and report back. I'll rework A, as that's my preffered piece.

Option A. Beta

NGL, I was confused at what you were making at first and then I realized what it was based on the shape.

This is what I have, but I dig that you're taking the initiative and have the ability to make your own. Looking forward to what you come up with.

That's very cool. I like how it's compartmentalized. I was so focused on making my own, I didn't even bother to stop and shop. :rofl:
I was wondering why you were wasting time 3D printing your own when you can buy one that already works and relatively inexpensive. I just figured that you must love tinkering :rofl:

Looks Great 👍 Been thinking about some type of front place solution myself. How do you think that lower grill piece would hold up in the long term with all that wind force pushing the plate into it at speed? I've heard some people had reported their grill getting deformed by similar no drill mounting plate, although, not this particular brand. But it's something to think about.
i bought a stl from a 3dprinter site for the fk8 no drill.. it works out pretty well and i had made an extra set for the bottom half of the plate thats not needed. its not goin anywhere or deforming anything.

Got the Strix vent adjuster caps and radio volume knob delivered today. I already had the black climate control knobs from Honda. They all tie in really well together, they look really good and are made very well. Much better than the silver. Thanks @CTR !

Been slowly trying to eliminate some of the tinny hollow sound from the plastic and sheet metal. Lined the center console walls with a layer of Dynamat and then 1/4” closed cell foam sheet. This reduced the hollow clicky sounds from the Acuity 4-way shifter. Shifting sounds more refined now.

If I was into naming my cars, the FL5 would be called “Buzz”.

Morning everyone, Happy Sunday. Blessed w/ the breath of life. Amen.

wallet slot on the entertaiment bundle needs a heavy recess or small reduction to sit deeper in the console.

Hey brother, congrats. I would highly recommend a heat shield around that turbo's exhaust housing. Dream Automotive makes two options. I personally use the option that goes around the housing itself front/back, and then I have my downpipe wrapped as yours is. No issues.

Back together! We completed the install today and checked over every fitting, nut, bolt, and connector before the first start.

1) Instructions advise starting in accessory mode and checking for leaks at the HPFP, none observed. Check âś…

2) With no leaks present, proceed to crank the engine 4-5 times to bring fuel back up through the LPFP, fuel lines, HPFP, fuel rail, injectors, and into the engine. Check âś…

3) If the hardware is installed correctly and the tune takes properly, a rough start on the sixth attempt should quickly settle into a smooth idle. Check âś…

4) Idle for 15 minutes, scanning for codes or leaks. Check âś…

5) Take it for a drive on the basemap, listening for any inconsistencies, then return and recheck all fittings. Check âś…

6) Perform the first datalog on the street and share it with your tuner, in this case, DRob. In progress.

7) Head to the dyno for a full tune on pump gas, with ethanol optional. Expected within the next 1-3 weeks.

I drove about 60 miles today. I got the 15-minute steady cruise + WOT in 3rd from 2000rpm logged. For some reason on two occasions the FlashPro didn’t log my 15-minute stop and go, which I’ll have to reattempt tomorrow, along with my first 15-minute cold start and idle.

More to come 🙂
