  1. FL5 recall (2022-2025 Civic Steering Gearbox Assembly)

    So how'd it go? I'm on the fence, as I haven't noticed any issues with my steering. Not sure if it's something I should or need to do. Advice?

  2. Is it just me, or is the aftermarket for the FL5 kind of lame?

    And that's the point - anything is better than the stock sound. To me AWE Touring is the least offensive.

  3. Is it just me, or is the aftermarket for the FL5 kind of lame?

    In terms of no exhaust sounding good, I disagree. It's not going to sound like a V8 or V6, but it can definitely sound good. Yes, of course. Perfect was the wrong adjective. To me it sounds the most "natural", or how the car should sound if it wasn't muted from the factory with the OEM exhaust.

    AWE Touring sounds perfect. Nothing comes close.

  5. FL5 stock exhaust valve: Fuse pulled/always open - exterior sound clips

    I've had my AWE since October, and I can report zero issues.

  6. Canadian FL5/DE5 Build, Suggestions & Tips Thread

    I'm pretty conservative, and these are the mods I made. I don't think I will do anything else. I find the car perfect this way. 1. Disconnected the ASC module to disable that fake pumped-in engine noise. All modes sound the same and natural now. 2. Installed the ITS ADS module to make all...

  7. ITS ads installed; Switched back to oem 19s from 18s

    @savagegeese Thanks for doing this. Great video as always - something that will last out there for years to come. Your work is important. You mentioned the ITS model swap and how cars with lower limits are more fun, and the below are the only ones I've made to make this car almost perfect. 1...

  9. Enlightening read on wheel offset and effects on suspension and steering

    You're looking for "definitive evidence" for the "sensory element" on an Internet forum...You'll never find the former on a forum and the latter is subjective. So not sure why you're even posting TBH, especially on this forum as you have the ITS. If you've had a lot of cars, you'd know by now...

  10. Enlightening read on wheel offset and effects on suspension and steering

    For street use, and even track really, it's not going to matter. There is a lot of theoretical talk in this thread. This is a street car on street tires. That's the limit you'll feel more. You're not going to feel any difference 15mm out...

    Center bore is larger than 64.1mm.

  12. The FL5 Civic Type R Wheel Spacer Reference Thread

    Wow. Not good. Should be checked/re-torqued 50-100mi after install and then every few thousand miles. Otherwise could be trouble, which is why spacers get a bad rep.

  13. The FL5 Civic Type R Wheel Spacer Reference Thread

    Just the 50-100mi post install re-torque?

  14. The FL5 Civic Type R Wheel Spacer Reference Thread

    Do you have to check the torque every few months or so?

  15. [Now Available] AWE Exhaust Suite for the Honda FL5 Civic Type R

    I notice it around 2600RPM windows closed too. I also like the sound, but it's there for sure. Other RPMs is fine. It does make listening to music more difficult. I need to find out the best settings for bass, mid, and treble with the new exhaust.
