"39381-31M-A03" is the part number you reference when you order the DE5 ADS, right? This is the "top level" part number. I'm assuming that the FL5 ADS also has "39380-31M-A0**-M1" etched into the metal casing. If this is the case, it is because the FL5 and DE5 both use the same ADS hardware...

Yea honestly, going by feel will probably be good enough (moderately tight - if I remember, not much force at all, since the click happened pretty quickly). But it's probably good to have a low torque wrench in your arsenal anyway heh. Keep in mind that tool is rated in inch-lbs, so just divide...

Which torque wrench did you get? I used this to install my CF accessory wing for the FK8. This one goes down to around 3 ft-lbs. 3/8 inch drive as well...

I like this unit. Been using the OG Redline (that one had excessive falsing) before I replaced it with this one. It's a very good comprehensive all in one set it and forget it detector. The only real zonk compared to other similar top tier detectors (Valentine One mk2, Uniden R7/8, etc) is the...

They are referencing the FK8 LE wheels. Both sets of wheels do look the same though, besides the red striping, 19 vs 20 size difference, and the BBS engraving.

A super soft floaty comfort mode can come in handy when you're forced to drive over roads full of holes; it soaks them up nicely. That's about the only thing I miss about my stock 20-21 non-LE ADS comfort mode. Otherwise, I'm in the LE-upgraded +R damper mode 90% of the time.

Would not raise the car that high with the scissor jack, but just enough to remove one wheel at a time. I tried and learned the hard way. The scissor jack failed and the car came crashing down, luckily I had not fully removed the wheel. But the top of the jack punctured the entire driver rocker...

So it looks like it's a good idea to do brake and clutch bleed at the same time. Brake first, then clutch. Clutch bleed is quicker and simple in comparison.

Just to clarify... it is clockwise starting from driver front correct (and not FD, FP, RD, RP)? Also, is it advised to flush out the clutch fluid at the same time? Is it all interconnected with the brake system? Getting the brake fluid flushed out this weekend, hopefully the shop does it all...

I enjoy long trips in the CTR. Did a Long Island NY to south FL jaunt in one go, just stopping for bathroom, gas, and meal breaks. This car feels like a Lincoln Town Car (even with 20-inch wheels and LE ADS) compared to the S2000 (with CR suspension), with which I also used to drive down to...

Yea, he knows how to drive too. That video of him doesn't link, so I guess you have to click on it to see it on YT. Seems like he liked the S2000, only complaint being lack of low end.

Miss driving this thing, the tossability, throttle response, and the wail of VTEC with the top down is something else. Hold on to it. Been reminiscing. Some motivational videos... Gansan airborning the prototype at the Nurburgring in dress shoes and no helmet. Clarkson praising the S2000...

It has an excellent shifter, possibly the best in the world for a production manual car. Loosely quoting a magazine from around 25 years ago, I recall they stated that the shifter moves with the precise action of the bolt from a fine rifle.

I've probably gone 10-15 minutes with the hazards on using the typerled bulbs in the FK8 and didn't have an issue.

If you have TCT noises, contact Billman over on the s2ki forums. He's local here on Long Island, but he ships his modified TCTs worldwide I believe. A good valve adjustment might free up some power too. Take care of all the TSBs. ACT Prolite flywheel if you ever need to change out the clutch.

I'm currently running my FK8 on the stock CSC6 tires on the 20-inch wheels. It's about to hit EOL and was considering switching to the MPS4S next month, but idk now. If I end up not liking them, I'll be stuck with them for awhile lol. The Michelins last 2-3 times longer, but I'm able to squeeze...

I ran with Mobil 1 EP 10W-30 exclusively on my S2000 until I sold it at 315k miles, after 18 years of "spirited" 9k-rpm driving. No qualms about using this oil. Most people won't need anything better, should save their money.

I had a MY03 AP1 with full CR suspension (springs, dampers, sway bars, steering stiffeners) - the best of both worlds. :cool:

Good move on the AP1 version. :cool: The Suzuka Nurburgring Blue is nice as well.

English is funny like that. Classical rules have no rhyme or reason at times. Verb "dampen" is related to wetness; "damp" is to mitigate or diminish. "Damp" in our context since we're talking about dissipating spring oscillation and energy. However, "damp" can be used in wet context as well, as...
