I have the EVS tuning lower ball joint - will get you to -3 degrees on the middle setting with the strut pins removed - it was the option I could get quickly at the time, but I don't think there is much of a difference between the various lower ball joint options...
I'm impressed you managed to keep your exhaust silver... its only been 3k miles and mine turned yellow from heat
I think this guy really means it when he says the car was rarely driven lol
My only challenge to your statement in trusting Honda engineers judgement, is that Honda didn't have track duty in mind when the FL5s left the factory - the setup is more for general street driving and optimized for tire wear while driving on public roads. I am confident that if you told Honda...
Unless you're against adding front camber for separate reasons, adding front camber is the way - everything else would just be compensating for lack of front camber.
Start at -3 in the front. (Pulling the pins and maxing out at -2 isn't going to be enough.)
If you can post pictures of what...
it was with PUP 5w40
It went up to 240 water / 275 oil
yep I understand LogR oil temp is a calculated temp - I hope to install an oil temp sensor along with oil coolers in the future
from everything I've seen in this thread, it seems clear that 5w40 isn't necessary... I may still stick with a...
I'm not sure if I do, sadly. Unless it logged automatically - I'll double check if it's still saved in the car.
With PUP 5w40 euro in the car, I don't recall letting water temps go above 250 - water temps recovered pretty fast - when I saw water/oil drop down to ~220ish and I'd send it for...
Here's my oil analysis:
- first test is oem Honda fill - driven about 1000 miles and drained for fresh oil ahead of my first track day
- second test is Mobil 1 5w30 with about 1100 miles mixed driving and 1 track day (Streets of Willow) - I would consider the track day to be a...
From what I saw in your video, I think you'd still get the same oversteer if you pedal danced and had everything turned off.
I'm not an autox-er so I won't pretend to know how to improve your setup in this situation, but my gut says maybe lower rear tire pressure and/or some rear toe-in could...
+1 to what pointbypatrol said: with the driver aids on, at no point does it feel like the car will lose control, it feels more like a faint nudge to help you initiate the car into rotation - it's still on you the driver to follow through with making the car rotate as much as needed to complete...
Adding just to show that the Phearable Stage 2 tune is a popular option.
I'm glad I went with Phearable over TSP. I spoke to several other FL5 owners before deciding and they also gave Phearable very positive reviews.
Drive-ability is very smooth, drives like an oem tune - you can easily forget...
ahh I thought you were going this weekend for buttonwillow classic with SDC... a few of us will be there.
I will be at buttonwillow circuit next month too - see you there
It's great to see the mix of responses - theres really no consensus
I prefer pedal dance because the stock dampers in R mode are simply too stiff for the bumpy socal tracks IMO
See you there on Saturday!
boost blue in my experience. I had two dealers offer me BB for MSRP... saying they can't do CW at MSRP because it's a rare color... (lies)
CW is the most produced color & BB is 2nd most produced color
followed by SGP.
Black and Red are by far the most rare FL5 colors (based on production numbers)
