What did you do to your FL5 today?

Why the swap?

KTune’s shifter sits too high for my liking, even on the lowest rod setting sits 1/2” higher than OEM. More for track/drag people. Or those that like higher shifter position. Although a great product, it’s not for me.

replaced the resonator cover in the enigne bay with a partly selfmade real CF one
ofc i had to have my dashboard badge Nr on it
I am curious if you guys like the look of it?
has anyone here got experience with Carbonfiber Engine Covers?

Long wait but worth the wait indeed! How’s the spoon springs treating you? Was borderline between swift & spoon but ending getting swift due to lead times.

Really happy with them I love the ride/handling and the perfect drop for my needs and taste

This was only a few days after I think it’s settled even a little more .

New mod.

FWIW, I just had my windshield replaced and they used the Pilkington Glass instead of OEM. OEM would have been like 2k+, Pilkington was just under 1k all in I think. Also, the glass dealer would normally recalibrate all the sensors, but they wouldn't because my car is lowered. They said if they attempted it, they may get a bunch of codes that only the dealer could fix.

I said skip the recal. Everything appears to be working as normal.

I'm going with oem glass and going through state farm. I've got a great relationship with a local honda dealership. They actually love when I bring the car by.
If you are within driving distance to raleigh I highly recommend Reggie Jackson honda and the world’s best honda tech Tim.

Good to know. I wonder if he would work on my Type S? Morrisville is only an hour away from me.

Had some free time during work today to install the Acuity shifter.

here’s the KTune one look where it sits with the knob off. Usb button height.

here a comparison between the two. Ktune lever all the way down. Aucity on height adjustment 2. Can go another 1” lower.

final install. Look where the lever sits.

with my FK8 shift knob on.

Nothing to exciting finished the final peice of the puzzle . After letting the spoon springs settle in for a couple of weeks took it in for the alignment Now it’s time to enjoy

How do they compare?

Rep aimgain lip because I’ve been caught out on the new orleans streets before.

How do they compare?

The Ktune one feels more rugged and mechanical, if that makes sense. The Acuity with the Medium springs feels much smoother and less effort on the gate. Something i noticed as well with the Ktuner, it has like a tension stop at 6th gear, and with a bit more effort you can get to reverse, Acuity doesn’t. So if you’re just in neutral and try to go to reverse, you can’t tell when you pass 6th gear. I’ll post a video tomorrow on what I mean.
