    OMG....so THE most disappointing thing about the Type R in the 2 weeks I've owned it was the HORRID, digital fake engine noise they pipe in when in +R mode...WHY?! WHY???!!! The engine sounds SOOOO good as it is! Why ruin that?! Like the newer ADX....sounds like a dying cow in sport mode...
  5. Paragon brakes!!

    Hey all. So I helped paragon develop a six piston caliper set for the TLX Type S. Sadly, we never put it on the car because we got rid of it so I have a kit, the first one ever developed, sitting here collecting dust. I reached out to them to see what I needed to convert this to the FL5. And...

    So the GO TO TDP racing wheel is the TDP6, which looks like the iconic TE37 for a reason! :). And we were going to do another bronze version in 18" for the FL5, but....Considering going with something more SPOON looking?!
  7. Spacer install: testing sizes

    Hey all so I was running the factory FL5 wheels with a set of vredestein hypertrac 275/35-19. It filled the wheel out nicely and gives me a much better winter tire and then there’s the ride lol shockingly more supple. Which is much appreciated at my advanced age. I was running a 5 mm spacer...
  8. FL5 aftermarket steering wheel?

    So I did a quick forum search, but didn’t really find anything, but I’m curious as I’ve seen video and photos of quick release steering wheel wheels on the FL5. How do you go about doing that and I’m assuming you lose all functionality of cruise control and everything??
  9. Bummed so far with FL5 aftermarket exhaust sound

    Hey all! So have been doing some digging for a potential new exhaust for the 10 day old FL5 and so far have been disappointed with the sound of them. I'm looking for something DEEP and mellow sounding, more so, tired of obnoxious and buzzy like I've been seeing. The ONLY one that's close...

    So I waited a week and a couple days for this day! Our Window Tint guy came out and did the windows, 35%. And every time I do this it’s shocking how much better the car looks lol
  11. Spacer question

    Hey all! So I'm thinking of doing a 12mm front/15mm rear spacer on the FL5. Akata is my go to and they are the only ones with that sizing. question is: Will a 12mm bolt on spacer with studs fit on the factory wheels? I know they have 'holes' next to the lug holes, behind the rim, but are...

  14. Stage 1: All Season Tires on FL5

    Hey everybody. So the new 275/35–19 vredestein hypertrac ultra high performance all season tires came in today. These things look massive! Which I have found over the years that the Vredestein rubber just looks beefy. Which is exactly what I’m looking for. I do have a before picture so when I...
  15. And so it begins: "Maiden" voyage!

    Yeah yeah, I had to bring the damn CTR home, and took it ONCE to the corner grocery store...but haven't 'driven' it in just about a week otherwise: Weather and 3 cars in the drive, so it's a pain to move things around.... Yesterday the TLX Type S got turned in, or rather SOLD to the...
  16. Messing around with tire/wheel sizing

    Sooo! Just picked up the CTR and looking to upgrade the wheels/tires soon. However it'll take me weeks of messing around with a few programs I use to dial it in. So this is a "thought process" thread. Just like the one I did for the TLX Type S a few years back when making those wheels! :)...

  18. FL5 spring options?

    Hey all! So not familiar with the FL5, yet, and wondered what the best, most streetable, but trackable (maybe) lowering spring out there is? Something no more than 1" drop is ideal. Thanks!!

    Hey!! Soo....I just turned 60 in Sept, and feel like 25...ish...I've owned and raced Honda/Acura for decades...since my first Honda: 1991 Civic Si hatch. It all started with that car just as the import scene was taking hold here. It went through 3 engines: 1. All motor stock engine, 1.6l...
  20. From Type S to Type R!

    Hey all! So I’ve been the innovator over the past three years when it comes to the TLX Type S. I’ve developed parts for that car with several companies and took it to the Xtreme. I track the car and shaved about 400 pounds off of it. It’s a Big, long, sort of heavy, beast! but, with some...
