  1. CARB approved intakes?

    Nice, it says testing is pending though so it could be quite a while.
  2. What did you do to your FL5 today?

    Is there a difference between comfort and unplugged?
  3. Pedal dance or no pedal dance

    Having raced a FWD car in the past, unexpected application of the brakes in a corner sounds dangerous. You want to rotate the car, if at all, going into the corner only, then accelerate out to bring the back into line by shifting weight onto the rear tires. I’m trying to understand why people...
  4. Pedal dance or no pedal dance

    Why are people crashing? Lift off oversteer?
  5. Making this car more raw?

    I'm guessing it’s a combination of throttle by wire and turbo lag.
  6. Making this car more raw?

    I think it just doesn’t feel like a raw or analog car; the throttle response is slow and the steering lacks feedback, I think most new cars are this way and it’s just the nature of how they are.
  7. Making this car more raw?

    I feel like peoples expectations for this car are insanely unrealistic. It’s a front wheel drive honda civic, it’s not a Porsche gt3 lol. I think things like taking out sound deadening to make the car something it’s not is a bad move. A tune seems like a good idea but besides that idk just get a...
  8. Pedal dance or no pedal dance

    You can already do that in individual mode?
  9. Pedal dance or no pedal dance

    disables the stability control that causes the brakes to automatically do stuff
  10. Pedal dance or no pedal dance

    If you don’t it will just roast your rear brakes
  11. How to deal with stock 1-2 gear rev hang?

    that’s the rev hang, the ECU is making it do that for… reasons
  12. How to deal with stock 1-2 gear rev hang?

    You can notice it in some people’s driving videos where the revs keep rising as they are up shifting, it’s almost like they’re not lifting off the gas when they push the clutch in. It’s not just 1st to 2nd. Jerkiness is just the driver.
  13. How to deal with stock 1-2 gear rev hang?

    I haven’t really felt jerkiness but at WOT especially shifting before redline I’ve noticed the engine continues to rev up after letting off the gas and putting the clutch in. I think any jerkiness is fixable through driving, also the throttle response/shifting feels a bit better outside of...
  14. Current FL5 Market

    I recently bought one in So Cal and have a lot of insight into the market right now. If you want boost blue you can get one for MSRP or close to it, try downtown LA Honda and negotiate aggressively. A lot of these places start with high quotes. For championship white in this area the best you’re...
  15. CARB approved intakes?

    Thanks, I didn’t think so, was just curious if there were any updates since the last posts I found were early this year.
