I think the true magic of this platform lies in how easily approachable its limits are. And the limits are shockingly high. But it does have limits compared to the GT3. It's tough when people try to compare it to cars far above its class, because I fully agree that I have just as much - I'd...

I don't have my print out handy, but when it was aligned it was near 0. I'm aware though that even slight adjustments to toe can make a huge difference, but it was in the "green" region on the sheet, I want to say within a few hundredths of 0 on both sides. I'm also aware that alignment can be...

Consider ditching the PRL intercooler and get addition by subtraction. I don't have hard data, which I am an advocate for so ultimately I realize I'm yet just one more internet bro with an opinion- but there is a definite noticeable correlation of reports of high temps during track usage and...

Has anyone been running this setup for a while with extra front camber? I just installed EVS ball joints in spring, and have already chewed through 3 front tires. The OEM Michelins that had about 12k miles on them corded pretty quickly after about a dozen autocross runs after the camber change...

Lower ball joints are also an option. I'd be curious as to what camber plates people are running on this platform. I've found some for the FK8 but most people I see doing anything with camber on FL5/DE5 are using ball joints.

Ok so I'm not insane. I have the exact same noise too. I have an Integra Type S, aftermarket wheels with +45 offset, lowered on Eibach Pro-kit and EVS ball joints with camber at -3.5 degrees. I also just had a tire come apart where it looks almost like some of it could have been cause by...

I haven't come across a definitive source for this beyond reviewer "vibes" or casual statements. If you find one please share.

ZE40 was my vote. But yes, there are several different "wheel designs" that are all vaguely similar. My Apex VS-5RS vs Volk G025 for example. The Volks look like they're "drawn with a sharper pencil", but overall a very similar aesthetic.

^this, doesn't matter if you add a spacer or buy wheels with a different offset, it'll impact roughly the same. That said, it isn't a big deal. I can't say it's not noticeable, but it's just... not a big deal. You get used to it after about a day of driving. In fact at this point, I just...

I don't know what I was expecting, but it should have been exactly this lol. Still disappointing. One thing I'm still thinking about though is dealer support. I've made no secret of my feelings for my local dealer service, but if they attach a warranty along with these parts and installation I...

I don't like the way 18s look on the DE5, but I don't mind them on the FL5- in the right spec. But recently 18s have grown on me. Particularly CE28s, and AFAIK they don't make them in 19", not in Honda sizes anyway. Add to the fact that I want to use RE-71RS (also don't make them in 19s) and...

Anything from 1994 would not be remotely relevant today. Not worth discussing in detail in this thread, but suffice it to say that AI is a very effective tool but it is "reflective"; i.e., you get out what you put in. It is very important to nail down context to get a relevant response. Right...

Even if it the FL5/DE5 suspension is active, the DSC is more active. Active suspension is another one of those areas that you can really fall down the Marianas trench of ratholes. I've watched videos on this topic and thought I understood it but my smooth brain can't seem to recall most of the...

ITT: Backyard chemists.

First year I owned the car I had the brilliant idea I'd just swap back and forth between the PS4S and all seasons in the spring and fall. Had the dealer do it. Two of the all seasons came back looking like your pictures. Fortunately (?) I did end up doing the "wheel and tire package" when I...

I don't have a problem with wheel spin, and my car supposedly has more power. I've probably done hundreds of autocross launches, which I guess is a different application from drag racing but my point is that it's probably something that can be remedied with skill and practice. Or the motor...

I don't have Sportlines, I have the Pro-kit, but I still wanted to chime in that I do have regrets. I should have went straight to coilovers with adjustable camber plates. My primary reason though won't be relevant to everyone, I've described my issues with what happens with the camber when you...

Sorry, just seeing that panel on the DC2 caused a wave of nostalgia. Wing looks great too.

I think I've found my absolute favorite wheel/color combo for the FL5. Just center caps short of perfection. ;)

I think the hype train does things to people's imaginations for these cars where they really do think they're going to step into a 4 door Elise. As someone who came into this car from a history of past "high end sports cars", I'll tell anyone reading this right now what this car is not- it's...
