Just make sure you don’t mix the different models’ specs. I recommend using the diagrams for torque specs. Far easier, and they contain more information, like tightening sequences and if a gasket needs to be replaced.
Mitchell1’s diy subscription is pretty good value. I paid 60$ for 4 years of...
I used a motive pressure bleeder with a Honda master cylinder adapter to do both the brakes and the clutch. Worked great.
You can either fill it with brake fluid and pressurize it to force fluid into the reservoir, or do it ”dry” - where you use the power bleeder just to pressurize the system...
I’m going to install a TSP downpipe soon. I plan to soak it in penetrating oil overnight and I got some loctite freeze and release (penetrating oil with a freezing agent) to use just before removing it. Heard it works wonders on rusty exhaust studs. I‘ll use the double nut method.
May I ask why do you need to drop the trans on a fairly new car?
I’m asking because mine just developed a slight knocking sound on overrun and I’m waiting for Honda to get back to me (it’s done just under 29,000 miles).
You’re looking at the wrong information in the manual, which is far too easy to do with the pdf. That’s partially why I ended up purchasing a subscription for the full manual. So much easier to find exactly what I need. It was 60$ for 4 years of access through Mitchell 1 diy, which I think is...
Mine became a bit sticky after cruising down the motorway for a while. But I found that it only happens with the steering in comfort. In Sport and +R there’s no hint of it.
Comfort used to be my primary mode but after switching to the ITS ADS I switched to using sport as a default. I haven’t...
There are six jacking points on the fl5:
1-4: The reinforced sections of the pinch welds immediately ahead of the rear wheels and immediately behind the fronts (see image below from the owners manual). Those are where the pinch is thicker with an added right angled plate welded on the pinch...
Very nice. I have the boost blue model (to match my car) currently stuck in customs because the seller didn’t include a customs value declaration. Hopefully will get resolve next week so I can finally get it.
May I ask why are you selling the Milltek? Don’t like the sound? Drone? Got something better?
Asking because I’m looking to get an exhaust (one of two shortcomings in the fl5 experience for me is the lack of sound) and so far narrowed it down to the Milltek and the upcoming Borla.
If asking...
I have the Mishimoto installed on mine. Measured and emptied it 1000 miles after installing - it collected 4 ml - exactly the same amount as Mishimoto said they saw in their testing after a 1000 miles.
About 5000 miles later I changed the oil and emptied the can again - it collected a further 18...
Are you talking about lane departure warning (the steering giving little jerks when you go over lines) or lane keep assist (the car steering by itself to stay in your lane)?
LKA will not turn on by itself (it’s the button on the right spoke of the steering wheel). LDW turns itself on every time...
