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

    Hi Shingo, yes I used a forwarder. There is one operated by NZ Post which is good for smaller items like this to NZ. I did have to pay GST but all up was about $100NZD and took about 2 weeks. (About 3 days for item to be delivered to forwarder, 3 days for them to process, me to declare and...
  4. Active Dampers too stiff on FL5. Disabled with Damping Cancellation Kit

    I ordered my ITS ADS in Feb and It arrived last week. I installed over the weekend, very easy to do, no gotchas. I did a quick drive immediately before and after the change. To skip to the end, for me this is a definite improvement. Context, I’m a family guy with 2 teenage kids. My wife and I...
  5. JDM vs USDM Differences

    In NZ we got all the stuff listed above on the JDM versions but none come with Bose. It’s a bit weird as the base Civic in NZ does come with Bose. FYI the non Bose stereo is pretty terrible. We also get auto dimming mirror and auto dimming headlights.

  11. Drive mode switch behaviour.

    Very excited to get an FL5 but its not due until Feb'23. As I understand, the FK8 always started in Sport mode and you had to change it to comfort each time you used the car. Looking at the FL5 manual, it restarts in the last mode unless its turned off in +R. Unless I have misunderstood...

    Thank you for your impressions and the pictures. Really nice to see it out and about. I'm really interested in your take on its road manners. We live in the middle of nowhere but amazing challenging back roads. Can't wait for Feb when our CW FL5 arrives.
