Thanks for the info. I was checking out the Phearable website. The Stage 2 tune for 93 octane looks pretty amazing. What is the difference between the Hondata base map tune and the Phearable tunes? Does the Phearable tune require dyno tuning to maximize power or is it just as easy as a...

In case Honda is reading this thread (and they might be) I'd like to see a few updates: 1. Throw in a limited slip rear wheel drive system if you have time, adjustable from 0 to 100%. 2. Raise the redline to 15,000 rpm with 600 hp and a sequential shift 6 speed with a strong clutch. 3...

67 y/o now get off my lawn!

Thanks man, that was good and very helpful!!

I got mine for MSRP back in March of 24. I wouldn't waste my time paying a sur charge just because dealers want to suck up as much money as they can. Do you think Honda charged the dealers 10K over market? ... I don't think so. Pure greed is all it is. Shop around, there are plenty of...

I kind of get it. I'm 66 and like everything about it except that the FL5 is a big car now! I feel like I'm driving an Accord or something. The perfect size of car for me is the GTI or Golf R and I still have my GTI. The whole point for me was hopefully find a car more reliable than a...

I hauled about 3 gallons of water in a 5 gallon bucket and trying not to shift or turn too hard, didn't want it to slosh out. Had to water some flowers and plants on my Parents grave, it's been dry as Arizona lately.

I want nothing to do with the complex hassles of a hybrid and especially EV vehicles, since IMO battery tech and infrastructure isn't up to speed just yet. I bought the FL5 because it might be the last hurrah for old school mechanical and gasoline 4 cyl. engineering, and from Honda who does it...

I would have gone for that if they offered it in 24.

I want to do the same thing. This audio is worse than my base GTI -S system with no sub. Ideally I'd like to do a speaker upgrade but it doesn't sound like it will work too well. The next thing would be to tap off line level sub audio into a good amp and then to and upgraded sub but not sure...

Got mine installed tonight, yeah an hour is good, I just took my time and double checked everything. The rear mount hole doesn't line up for mine either and no rubber gasket for the top... so I guess that's just the way it is. I'll cut a piece of rubber tubing and rubber cement it in place...

Pushing right up to the danger threshold, what are the absolute 93 octane tuned HP and torque limits on the stock Honda crank, pistons and rods (assuming no pre ignition)? ... and then what is the most you would recommend for a 93 tune (to leave a margin of safety)?

That's was a question I had as well. :what: I have a Vdub Mk7 GTI and the stage 2 flash on it actually increased my fuel mileage during normal driving from 32 to 34 mpg. Gobs of power but great mileage too if my foot behaves. So I was wondering if the Honda would react the same way? ...

Something I found out the hard way. If you remove your TCU, make sure your sharing data is set to off, and then don't touch the darn thing ever again! If you turn it back on, you won't be able to turn it off again. It will give you a message: "Unable to change the settings because the...

I test drove a Type S and then bought the type R. Things that I liked about the Type S: The heads up display The heated seats, and that the rear seats match the front The sound of the stock exhaust The deep metallic blue finish option Things that I liked about the Type R: The deeper front race...

Yeah, that's a bummer, every time you shift the manual you lose boost unless you power shift it and VW won't take too much abuse on a stock clutch... plus I don't know if keeping it floored really keeps the boost maximized or not ... technically it should but hard telling what the computer does...

Just want to say; thanks for all your hard work in sharing how to disable the Honda Type R personal data from being exploited. That's a big deal and it's sad that it even happens. Now if we could just dumb down these smart phones, but that's for another day... Off topic: Nice 64 Impala...

I pulled my TCU out. Those clips were tight, I thought I was going to break one or two of them but it finally come off. Wow, what a dinky speaker!! I lightly greased the snap points to make it easier next time to remove. So I removed the TCU and then wrapped the connectors inside a triple...

Ok, thanks. It will just be good to get the nanny off my back. That explains why my insurance doubled. No tickets, no claims but the rate went through the roof in 6 months. They must have purchased the data and saw that I drag raced it at the track... multiple runs at around 13.7 / 105 mph.

Cool, and free shipping! THanks, it's on the way!
