  1. MY 2025 - Facelift?

    It seems like it would make financial sense if Honda is doing the civic facelift for 2025 with say new taillights, to throw them on the type R as well. Why bother with continuing to sell cars with different parts?
  2. CEL/Rev-match error after Steering Wheel swap?

    well false alarm, i left it parked for an hour came back, and it was gone lol.
  3. CEL/Rev-match error after Steering Wheel swap?

    Hey guys, I just did the swap to the oem alcantara steering wheel, and after hooking up the battery, i have a persistent CEL...i thought it was maybe just a side effect from unplugging the battery, but i drove about 10 miles since then, and it's still there. Any ideas? My car is 100% stock.
  4. There’s a Reason Honda Made Active Exhaust, Don’t Disable

    Has anyone figured out how to apply the Acura engine tune to the CTR?
  5. What did you do to your FL5 today?

    First two mods! Floor Mats and Plate Frame?
  6. How Does Driving Experience Compare?

    driving other cars that are more expensive will generally get you more speed. I think the type R handles a lot better than an M2 which is a heavy pig, BUT that car is way way faster. I think short of a Porsche it’s hard to get a better driving experience in suspension, grip, gearbox. Engine is...
  7. Michelin Sport Cup 2 Tires

    so I found this interesting. My Porsche N0 spec PS4S vs the Type R PS4S. The tread looks really different. The grooves are much thinner on the civic and look much closer to a cup 2. Additionally the CTR PS4S rides MUCH louder and stiffer than the Porsche spec, which are soft and luxurious by...
  8. FL5 stock exhaust valve: Fuse pulled/always open - exterior sound clips

    So I was standing outside by the exhaust on both cars so no effect of the speakers lol. But anyway yea, it seems like the difference is reeeally minor if anything. I think it’s just placebo. Maybe more noticeable if you cut out the resonator? Has anyone tried cutting out the center pipe muffler...
  9. FL5 stock exhaust valve: Fuse pulled/always open - exterior sound clips

    Anyone know what the valve actually does? So I also opened my valve (fully stock exhaust) and I compared with my friend’s car with valve closed. It sounds exactly the same valves open or valves closed. Cold start as well as revving. I can clearly see my valve is open while his was closed. Is it...
  10. Front Resonator Delete

    Is MRT the only pre-made kit for the front resonator delete? Is that a good brand? I'd rather buy a kit and have piece of mind that that good quality steel was used. Thanks!
  11. Off Center Steering wheel by design?

    Hello everyone, so I’ve been following a few threads around here where people were complaining about their steering being off center. In the FL5 forum, si forum, and even the regular civic forums. So after staring at my wheel for a bit, I noticed that the instrument cluster itself is not...
  12. Back in a Type R!

    A macan, cayenne or Taycan which will lose 50% driving off the lot, so it’s effectively still ADM…unless you really need one of those cars lol. True
  13. Back in a Type R!

    Other than suspension, i don't really feel a huge difference between the different modes. I have individual set to +R everything except suspension in comfort, and when i drop down to comfort mode, i will forget i changed modes lol.
  14. Back in a Type R!

    unfortunately at that level, it's not up to the sales people. GM usually has to OK it and they usually have bidding wars or it goes to their friends&family, or requires a trade in at well below market value :( Been through the game a few times with Porsche, it's rough out there. Not too...
