  1. What did you do to your FL5 today?

    ? Hey guys, I haven’t been on here in a minute! But recently I crossed over 15k miles and went for my 3rd oil change and first transmission fluid service. I was beginning to hear a faint humming vibration noise during cold starts while making full lock left/right turns out the parking deck. The...

  5. Hey guys, I'm new here. Considering a Civic Si....

    Idk, your GTI has an extra 20hp and 68lb more torque, the Si might be a let down. Unless a fuel saving manual daily driver is what you’re in the market for? I owned the FE1 for almost a year before I traded it in for my FL5. Yes, it ticked a lot of boxes for me in the cost and...
  6. Unwanted attention

    Same. After 6 months of ownership, thankfully it’s been a pretty positive experience here! Thumbs up, head nods, random conversations in parking lots and gas stations. Even had guys signal us to roll the window down at lights just to compliment us and they’re driving sportier cars like Porsches...
  7. Jester’s FL5 build journal.

    nice! you thinking about powder coating the wheels too? ? https://www.civicxi.com/forum/threads/championship-white-fl5-civic-type-r-w-paint-matched-spoiler-wing-and-oem-wheels.51497/
  8. Is anyone doing anything extra for the security system?

    Congrats on your new FL5! I’m sorry that you’re already getting suspicious attention, I understand where you’re coming from with your Si. We had a 99 Milano Red Si stolen 3 times in San Diego. The last time we had a Viper installed and the remote never alerted us, either it was hacked or the...
  9. Don't shift into 1st Gear or else ...

    Smh auto rev match has ppl shifting lazy out there. How else will you learn your vehicle if you don’t turn off all the auto nannies and actually drive your car. Learn to feel & hear the rpms till it becomes second nature and you’re not second guessing yourself at light intersections. What’s...
  10. What about the FL5 do you regret?

    In all honesty I have no regrets with my purchase, I love my FL5 ? The only thing I can think of is I should’ve put some floor mats in during this rainy summer season. I was being stubborn and refused to cover up the red carpet. There’s a quarter sized dirt spot just below the gas pedal that...

    Anybody interested in a CW FL5 for 5k markup (not sure of any added on accessories). I said I’ll spread the word, just let him know you heard about it from me. Ask for Stephen Ellis at AutoNation Honda Columbus GA. Best of luck ?
  12. Jester’s FL5 build journal.

    Throwback! Post a video of the HKS ssqv when you get a chance. I don’t plan on adding a bov but I do get a kick out of the way they sound ? My Sprint P08 filter does a pretty good job of turning heads as I rev by ppl on the sidewalks ?
  13. Interior noises - rattles, creaks, squeaks!

    ? Fantastic write up @mujoa, thank you! I commend everyone’s determination to locate and correct these rattles, you gotta have nerves of steel to pull these panels apart ? For now, I’ll just keep praying to the car gods that the rattles go away when I press on them lol
  14. What did you do to your FL5 today?

    First oil change done at 4800 miles and I’m loving the way it’s driving! Surprisingly the maintenance minder was still showing 60% oil life and when we asked the tech about it, he said the CTR is good for 10,000 miles ?? But I still wouldn’t push it that far. Also, Curry Honda managed to finish...
