What did you do to your FL5 today?

HKS Hi-Power installed on our tester FL5

*background music is a tad loud, sorry about that. 12:35 to skip to sound clips if you're only interested in that.

Sounds really good and love the tips. Sounds very similar to my Remark SS Dual tip it has that same deep tone at idle and ripping through the RPMs??

Did some commuting this week and hit 3500 miles. And being tuned, that MPG is pretty good ?

Nice, Boris Brejcha! There is a lot of his music in my Nora En Pure Pandora station.

Added some bling to the turbocharger's wanna be mini strut tower bar.

Also added another bling since I had spare rolls of thermal tape...I decided to rewrap the Eventuri turbo inlet pipe, HKS intercooler pipes, and stock throttle body inlet pipe primarily to reduce thermal transfer during low airflow conditions.

With all the time you spend on wrapping shit you could be getting actual seat time lol

Installed the PRL Carbon Inlet Pipe. Also painted the cast portion with ceramic black paint for better aesthetics. Upon finishing and checking everything over, noticed one of the HVI bolts had fallen out ?. Have heard these can come out due to vibration. Will be reaching out to PRL for replacement bolts. Fellow HVI owners, check your bolts!

My FL5 is a daily driver. No down time from my end on any of the modifications installed to date. The thermal wrap may not be everyone’s cup of tea but it is very effective and easy to install.

Your build has had more down time than mine. Maybe take a step back and consider other build approaches. One thing that we have in common is no vendor brand loyalty while dumping a ton of money on upgrades to fit our unique build goals and expectations. On the other hand, why did you decide to keep the billboard painted on the front of your Intercooler?

Haha...As a byproduct, IATs have consistently been reduced after installing all of the the Reflect-A-Gold tape yesterday. I ran the J's Racing Hyper Intercooler (very efficient and effective) for a few weeks before installing the HKS Charge Pipes. IAT's actually increased in low airflow conditions after installing the HKS Charge Pipes which makes sense as the factory rubber hoses were replaced with aluminum tubing that had no thermal protection. Installing thermal tape onto the charge pipes resulted in a noticeable improvement in reducing IATs.

I didn't have any time to remove the spray paint. I'm gone 3-4 weeks at a time working. My car is never down in truth. If I don't have the time or a helping hand. I leave it with the world’s best honda tech and pick it up when I get back.
I'm rather envious of people who have free time for projects and get to DD their cars.
I'm planning on retiring very early so more work then play nowadays ?
