    15mm (Bonoss) fit w/ no issue
  2. Catastrophic oil leak - I am freaking out

    This happened to my dad with his 991.2, serviced at Porsche, at least that’s exactly what they told him was the cause. In his case, he was driving only days after the servicing, smelled burning right as low oil warning came on, pulled over and had dealer tow it back to their shop. They had to...
  3. FL5 Civic Type R Coolant Expansion Tanks: Best Options & Buyer’s Guide

    Scott @Mishimoto gave me this response: We have not tested the capacity, but it is roughly the same as the OEM. Please note that changing the capacity may affect the pressure. This product is designed to work with the Type R motor while maintaining stock fitment and performance. I wasn’t...
  4. FL5 Civic Type R Coolant Expansion Tanks: Best Options & Buyer’s Guide

    I got Mishimoto’s red for $265 back in April ‘24, it’s gone up in price since then. It comes with the hose fittings welded to the tank and a 1.3 bar cap, if you want to count those as features. Mishi doesn’t post the capacity, so I’ve asked them if they can measure to verify as I didn’t...

  6. FL5 Intercooler Reference Thread

    maybe you could chill out a bit, like, for a few years
  7. PWR/WOT Spec Triple Pass Radiator Install

    Was there a video for connecting the trans cooler? I couldn’t find one thanks
  8. Mugen Door kick panels?

    I doubt it would be anything that couldn’t be taken care of with grease/wax remover, if I take them off and try something else, I’ll post it up
  9. Mugen Door kick panels?

    yea I started from the bottom corner of the speaker near the center of the door, and slowly worked the thin strips around the speaker, tucking the edges in with my thumbnail. There is overlap and I cut excess so that one would cover the other. I have noticed a couple of them peeling off at an...
  10. Inlet pipes with stock airbox?

    Originally the inlet worked with the stock accordion: And PRL used to sell a silicone hose specifically to replace the accordion for connecting the inlet to stock box: But when PRL came out with HVI, they sold a separate hose kit than what initially came with the inlet, for connecting the...
  11. CFM oil cap breather (CCV catch can alternative)

    I’ve been running one of these on my Focus ST, along with a PCV (dirty side) catch can for about 10 years, tuned for about 5 years up to ~24 psi max boost. Early on, mostly stock, I was noticing some oil traces going to the turbo inlet from the CCV breather that, most of the time, lets clean...
  12. What did you do to your FL5 today?

    Grok has this backwards: Dual units for targeted capture (PCV for boost/load conditions, CCV for idle/low-load). Each ~0.5-1qt capacity; modular for easier placement in the FL5's tight bay (e.g., PCV near turbo, CCV near valve cover). It’s not reliable to ask A.I. things unless it’s not...
  13. Acuity Instrument's Short Shifter

    I have not driven an S2000, but it’s definitely more of a step in that direction. The stage 2 is subtle, even more so for me without the shorter throws. I like the buttery smoothness with just a hint more engagement in contrast with my FoST short shifter which has a lot more kathunk. If stage...
  14. Acuity Instrument's Short Shifter

    I have the stage 2 minus the shorter throws adapter, but haven’t installed shifter cable bushings yet. Helped a friend install the full shifter into his FL5, also without doing shifter cable bushings, and the initial difference is quite significant in terms of notchiness, but it may be smoother...
  15. Who’s running a AWE touring exhaust on there FL5 ?

    Yea, I noticed the Helmholtz made it sag more on that side. I swapped in some poly hangers that have an offset center hole, flipped up on passenger side to counter the weight.
  16. Who’s running a AWE touring exhaust on there FL5 ?

    MXP is flanged, valved, 304 stainless, Helmholtz-resonated Apexi copy for $1200 what’s the AWE selling point again? 3 tips? Biased cause I have it, but it seems like there is not much competition at that price point. Edit: I also like the Ballade Sports, sacrifice the valve for titanium, and...
