  1. Bleed Clutch Slave Master Cylinder

    Should be the same.
  2. Torque specs

    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...
  3. Bleed Clutch Slave Master Cylinder

    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...
  4. Removing Downpipe Studs

    I got the part # from dream shop:
  5. Removing Downpipe Studs

    I got it at a local shop, but I’m not from the US. I see it’s available on Amazon. It’s known also as loctite 8040.
  6. Removing Downpipe Studs

    18234-RPY-G02
  7. Removing Downpipe Studs

    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.
  8. Dropping the trans in my FL5 today, anything I should look out for?

    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).
  9. FL5 Intercooler Reference Thread

    Thanks for letting us know. Just put my order in.
  10. Phearable tune spark plug question.

    The owner’s manual says NGK ILZKAR8J8SY.
  11. Service manual TWC (Downpipe) Remarks Confusion

    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...
  12. FL5 tire rotation

    The manual calls for the cross method. I periodically check the tread depth and when there’s a difference of 1-2 mm I’ll rotate them.
  13. Has anyone experienced "sticky steering" with their 2023 Civic Type R?

    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...
  14. Question about jacking/lifting FL5

    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...
  15. Metal Die-Cast Model FL5 1:18 scale

    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.
  16. California FL5 MILLTEK exhaust and PRL700

    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...
  17. Is an oil catch can needed? Just hopped on the Unity Group Buy for the HEL Oil Cooler.

    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...
  18. Anyway to completely turn off the "lane assist" of the FL5?

    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...
