That's the website I mentioned several weeks ago which I thought would be the best public facing indicator around the first week of January. I'd say this qualifies as an official conclusion to this epic thread! Updated with 2026 MSRP: Model year Base MSRP Date Posted 2017 $33,900.00...

I received the following response from Acuity. I think this is a perfectly reasonable explanation for everything. Sharing here to help others.

Still waiting for a response back from Acuity, but from what I've been able to work out, the claims made on the box MUST factor in some combination of height/throw/gate settings which is not very clearly stated. Furthermore, the addendum statement in the install guide seems to indicate that...

I agree it may not be for everyone, but it seems enough people have asked about it that PRL felt it was worth making. I appreciate you guys for spending the time and resources to develop this.

I feel like all the information is there to be able to figure this out, but the math just isn't adding up to me. This is stated on the box: Gear Throw: Position "1" = +20% Position "5" = -50% Stock should be somewhere between 2 & 3. Gate Spacing: Position "1" = -35% Position "3" = +50% Stock...

Based off what I gathered on the newsroom site the first week of January is historically the latest date they have ever posted any official pricing. Marketing teams are probably still busy with the Prelude launch but I would expect to see something by then.

I've done a little more research and wanted to share. For me, It is important to be able to dial in a "stock" experience first, then start modifying from there. Documentation indicates 75MM of total range of adjustment (-25mm to +50mm from stock). That looks correct. Ideally I would...

Just finished installing tonight. I'm curious if anyone has dialed in some settings that remain relatively close to "stock" as a good baseline to start with. I plan to retain the stock shift knob and boot. Acuity manual suggests the following: LHD FL5 Mount position = B or C Gate = 1...

Thank you very much for making these! You got a ETA on price and availability?

Fun thread. Here's my contribution. The official Honda Newsroom. If any official announcement was going to be made, I expect it to be posted there: https://hondanews.com/en-US/honda-automobiles/channels/honda-civic-type-r On the pricing tab...

Will this new intercooler be compatible with the currently available charge pipe kit?

I can identify with so many things in your opening statement. Congrats on the new FL5. I've also been pretty tame with my mods since I traded in my FK8 for an FL5 about 9 months ago. Despite what most FK8 owners I talk to say, there is a quite significant improvement in virtually every...

Well that video took an interesting turn. 🤣🤣🤣 Great job (as always) on the content Ben!

I don't have tint, but I also have a garage at home and a parking deck at work, so its rarely parked outside in the sun for very long. I do recommend getting a heatshield for the front window. Definitely helps with interior temps in the summer months.
