  1. Active Dampers too stiff on FL5. Disabled with Damping Cancellation Kit

    VLJ, let me try to help. Swapping to the ITS module takes each mode down a notch, like so: Stiffness level: 1 2 3 4 FL5 module: Comfort Sport +R DE5 module: Comfort Sport +R So all you have to ask yourself is: "do I need a setting softer than...
  2. FL5 Owners Manuals from various markets

    I see. My bad. I wrongly assumed you had collected all the different manuals in the photos. The Portuguese importer decided to switch to electronic manuals, delivered in a USB drive. For environmental reasons, or so they say. I'd love to get a paper manual. The UK one would be perfect because...
  3. FL5 owner's poll

    I personally don't find it unduly stiff at all. But I'm glad the softer ITS module exists. This way, everyone can be happy. ?
  4. FL5 Owners Manuals from various markets

    The local importer decided to not print any manuals. I only received an electronic version. Which makes me unreasonably sad. This thread gave me an idea - maybe I can try getting a UK one! How were you able to acquire yours, @DRGN? Is there a part number? ps: from your posts I get the sense...
  5. What did you do to your FL5 today?

    I had the two above-mentioned concerns about the 3D Maxpider mats. However @DRGN just posted a mitigation strategy for the first. And the second seems to be unwarranted. So there you go! ?
  6. What did you do to your FL5 today?

    I went so far as to buy a set of 3D Maxpider mats. But at the end of the day I didn't enjoy the utilitarian look in a car I rarely drive. I was also concerned about two things: 1. It seemed to me that the lip of the mats dug into the carpet and would leave a mark after a while. 2. That repeated...
  7. What did you do to your FL5 today?

    I like your custom under-pedal mat there too!
  8. What did you do to your FL5 today?

    Looks wonderful! I was wondering: you seem to have wrapped the carpet near the dead pedal in plastic? Does it work? I'm still trying to figure out the ideal solution to protect that very sensitive area.
  9. Type R owner age?

    I got it for my 40th. I'm a lifelong Honda enthusiast. Stayed up all night to watch the world reveal. As soon as I saw the interior, I knew I had to have one. Put my name on the waitlist the very same day. 14 months later, it arrived. Hope to keep it for life!
  10. Roughness on initial takeoff

    That’s way too high. Barely above idle is more than enough.
  11. Roughness on initial takeoff

    My AP1 is 100% stock. 22.600 miles on the odometer. The FL5 is incredibly refined next to it. Buttery smooth. I guess it's all relative. The S2000 is unrefined next to a 5th gen Civic, let alone an 11th gen. All sorts of drivetrain noises and vibrations. When I bought my first one, back in the...
  12. Roughness on initial takeoff

    I don't know. My FL5 is leagues smoother than my S2000. In all regards.
  13. Eliminating gloss black interior trim

    If you want you can replace the offending parts with bits from other trim levels. You can find the part numbers here: https://dreamshop.honda.com
  14. FK8 floor mats fit in FL5 (photos)

    FL5 EDM and FK8 USDM mats, side by side:
  15. Extended Range Fuel Tank?

    The only realistic way to mitigate this is to drive more efficiently. Which doesn't necessarily mean more slowly.
  16. Debris in oil filter

    I bet the blue debris is just silicone/RTV. ? It's normal for some to loosen during break in.
  17. Where are you getting rock chips?

    Judging from past cars I think the headlights are worth doing. ?
  18. Where are you getting rock chips?

    Thanks for the input everyone! I apologize for the duplicate thread. I wanted to ask a slightly different question to folks who haven't applied PPF, but that thread actually covers it!
  19. Where are you getting rock chips?

    Hi all, Can you please share what areas you're getting rock chips on? The bumper covers almost the entire front, so I wonder whether the hood gets any chips on it, for example. I'm trying to decide what panels to apply PPF to and your input is valuable. Thank you in advance!
  20. Any euro market members able to supply front Impact bar part #?

    I don't know of any public parts catalog for Euro FL5s at this point. Have to use the JDM and USDM catalogs linked by Clark_Kent above.
