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.
Understandable...Tinkering and working on cars has been a long time interest and hobby for me. I try to engage with fellow enthusiasts as a means learn what is out there to leverage and share experiences. As for others working on my car, I have been burned by every trust chance given particularly to dealerships.
There's still good people out there. I lucked up and got to know PointByPatrol who helped me install a bunch of parts. He then hooked me up with Jester04 and my now friend tim who is a master honda tech who helped him put his new motor in the car. I'm fortunate that I can say my car was built by friends.Understandable...Tinkering and working on cars has been a long time interest and hobby for me.

After purchasing the FL5, I brought my car to the dealership for the first time to fix the the steering rack recall. They said that I could also have an oil change and tire rotation done for no additional cost where I agreed. I thought everything was good even after inspecting but later learned of other crap. When the dealer rotated the tires, they scratched the inside of one wheel in several areas.
Without a doubt...One just has to find friends that share a common goal/interest. For the FL5, @PointByPatrol and @Jester04 are true gems. I would also add @siwelnosaj into the fold. Enthusiasts simply helping others.
We've been wanting to get some locals on the Remark to make another video! Have supplied several, but all Shipped out.
The Remark came with a 3” FP and I’m running it with the stock down pipe . Everything else is stock except for a PRL stage 1 . It really sounds good as is but a DP is definitely on my radar along with a PRL intake when it passes SoCal emissions ??
Oh man does that looks good ?Superspeed Wheels just launched their lightest ever flow formed wheel, the new 76RR. This is a Type R spec wheel in 5x120 and 64.1. Black finish is in stock, Satin Bronze will be ready in late July - August.
We picked up a set for our FK8, and for testing purposed swapped it onto our FL5 as well. Look at all that MEAT!
Superspeed 76RR | 18 x 10.5 +47 - 18.6lbs each
Conti DWS06+ | 285/35ZR18 - 24.1lbs each
Total weight = 42.7lbs

I don't recall a lighter wheel in this size, and for this price of sub $1k USD before shipping. North of the border, 1 in 4 Type R's run SS because the value just can't be beat. This is now my 6th set...each time I say to myself I'm ready to try another brand, these guys ring me up and say, "Hey Humza, we've got something new that you're going to like ?". Forever trapped to good value and not paying JDM tax!
I'll be honest I was a bit sceptical that this was going to work on the FK8 because it has less clearance, but it cleared because of stock height on that car. I knew the FL5 and DE5 have better clearance than FK8 so stock height wasn't a concern but we have Swifts installed on the FL5 so I was sure it would rub but they've been installed for 3 days, and we tried to see if we'd get any rub with 4 occupants and nothing! No special track alignment or camber arms, no pulling, trimming etc.
However, the DWS06+ has a rounded shoulder, so please note that it won't be as easy with a squared-shoulder 200TW. Enjoy these shots - pics #4 really illustrates how meaty it is!
