  1. I hate seeing posts about Type R's getting stolen. Here are a few good/inexpensive products to keep your car safe!

    Man, what a shitty story. And the idea that you could basically hand the perps over to the police, but they have little incentive to go after them?! That would really piss me off. That guy is taking it better than I would! Also, if you’re gonna steal my car, at least have the decency to chop...
  2. Rev Match On or Off

    It looks like he was on his way to dinner with those shoes.
  3. Prepping for Winter storage and tightened gas cap

    Good call on the e-brake, I did the same thing there. Yeah, I would think the fresh air door being closed should be enough to keep mice out, but I know they can get through some pretty tight spaces, hence my extra barrier just in case. Before I put the car away for the winter, I found mouse...
  4. Rev Match On or Off

    I never use the AutoClutch feature. However, I do find ShiftTronic to be useful if I’ve had a few too many peyote buttons, when all gears become one.
  5. Prepping for Winter storage and tightened gas cap

    I’ve been storing my summer cars in a storage unit for the past 4 years or so. My routine is topping off the tank, overinflating the tires, disconnecting the battery, and mouse prevention. My biggest fear during storage is mice! If they find a way into the HVAC ducting, it's an olfactory...
  6. Rev Match On or Off

    I think the only reason to turn it off would be if you want to hone or maintain your manual rev matching skills. I’ve been driving manual cars for nearly 30 years and my coordination for rev matching isn’t as good as the auto rev match, so I just leave it on. Honestly, it’s one of my favorite...
  7. OEM Honda - Racing Black Climate Control Rings

    From my experience, only the single, offset stripe is worth any gains. And you’re really only looking at 50-75 hp at that.
  8. OEM Honda - Racing Black Climate Control Rings

    Eliminating the silver paint saves weight. Duh!😂
  9. Fake engine noise defeat-ed!

    Yeah, even the ELS system in my ‘08 RDX sounds way better than the FL5.
  10. Wheels wheel wheels: decisions to make

    You actually have the equipment to machine wheels? I’d love to see the process!
  11. What did you haul in your Type R today?

    Traitor! 😂 I don’t usually care much for white cars, but I think the FL5 looks excellent in CW. Enjoy!
  12. Wheels wheel wheels: decisions to make

    I like the way you think! I’m surprised that there seems to be no other options like this. The only 18x10 wheel I know of that offers a near “proper” offset is the Regimaster, which is a +50.
  13. What did you haul in your Type R today?

    Why did you trade it in? And what’s replacing it?
  14. Wheels wheel wheels: decisions to make

    The spoon 5 spoke design is my all time favorite! I say do it!
  15. Club-Version FL5 Civic Type R Build Thread

    Thank you for the info! I remember when you got the wheels, you reported excellent steering response with the 265 tire. If I ever get off my wallet to buy a set of 18s, my main concern is loosing the sharp steering feel, but I feel the need to downsize due to the state of my local roads.
  16. Club-Version FL5 Civic Type R Build Thread

    How does the steering feel with the 275s vs 265s on the 10” wide wheel?
  17. What did you haul in your Type R today?

    And I thought it was warm here because some of the snow started melting!
  18. Bummed so far with FL5 aftermarket exhaust sound

    Yeah, unfortunately, I doubt it’s possible to make this engine sound truly exciting. I imagine the 4 into 1 exhaust in the cylinder head has much to do with this.
  19. AEM dryflow filter for PRL HVI intake

    If I remember correctly, the max on how tall the filter can be is 4.5”. I tried fitting a 5” tall filter and it sticks out past the outside of the PRL box. Also, the original PRL filter is listed as a 6” flange diameter, but it’s actually 5.5” when measured. The MAF tube the filter mounts on has...
  20. Catastrophic oil leak - I am freaking out

    This is why I put a padlock on my splash shield😂
