*The FL5 Track Junkie Thread*

[BigBird]

i would definitely just send it

Big to-do list today to have the car ready for the track this weekend...

Trans Fluid Exchange
Coolant exchange (track mixture)
Lower camber ball joints
Front brake pads
Alignment
Rotation
Torque Mount

Also ran across this gem when asking my Honda buddy to help find me a torque spec....

I would like your thoughts on that. I think it's because it's aluminum?

Even the Honda tech had no clue, and said that it didn't make sense to him....

I've removed and reinstalled those bolts before on the FK8 and both FL5's, and have never run into an issue. At this point I almost wish I hadn't asked. Ignorance is bliss.

I don't know what you're even talking about ?

So how do you replace that part without removing the bolts? ?

Exactly

Could probably solve this with a set of KW Clubsport or Moton coil overs ? adjustable top hat vs. ball joint.

I'm debating if I want to pick up a 2nd set of 18s to use with more street friendly summer tires. I'd maybe put the street tires on my 18x10 Apex wheels and get something else for the Conti ECF and track use. I really like the ECF, but every time it rains I get a little nervous. This morning was 38 degrees, thankfully I didn't have anywhere to go although since it's dry, I'm sure it would have been fine. It's still a little early to put the all-season tires on IMO.

How much is a knuckle?

Not sure, but it can't be cheap.

It looks like this:

Part Number: 51210-T60-J00

MSRP : $261.72

That's a whole other can of worms to replace that vs. the ball joint.
