  1. Troubleshooting help: crunching noise & sensation when pumping brakes with 2024 FL5

    I'll post what is hopefully a final update for my issue. Yesterday I got my car back from the Honda garage after they replaced the front left brake caliper and hardline. This seems to have completely resolved the crunching/creaking when pressing the brakes hard so I'm glad it's finally fixed...
  2. Troubleshooting help: crunching noise & sensation when pumping brakes with 2024 FL5

    That is a good point that I neglected to mention. I have been regularly going to auto x events since I got my car last year. The most recent auto x I went to was mid summer at an old airstrip so it was essentially an out and back with a big turn around point halfway; there was a hard braking...
  3. Troubleshooting help: crunching noise & sensation when pumping brakes with 2024 FL5

  4. Troubleshooting help: crunching noise & sensation when pumping brakes with 2024 FL5

    Greetings, I have a request for some advice & guidance with my issue. First here is a quick background: Relatively recently (Sept 3rd or so) I brought my car into a dealership for some diagnostics with some mysterious minor clicking coming from both left & right front wheels when turning at...
  5. FL5 (BS?) Autocross Thread

    i figure'd i'd bump this thread if that's okay rather than make a new one because I have an auto X related question: Does anyone have any recommendations with trying to use the car's built in Honda log system to track vehicle dynamics/characteristics? I got my 2024 Type R last year and ran a...
  6. Official Wheel Fitment Thread for 11th Gen FL5 Civic Type R

    There's a pack-in instruction & warnings slip with the wheel that's entirely in Japanese which states some guidance & installation instructions. I used machine translation to read through it when I got the wheels and I thought I had the proper bolts. The shape of the wheel requires a different...
  7. Official Wheel Fitment Thread for 11th Gen FL5 Civic Type R

    heck yeah dude:cool:. I got the wheels installed today (please excuse the dirt on my baby, it does live outside and it's been raining lately) So unfortunately I did not do enough homework and the Mugen lug nuts & wheel locks from black hawk Japan (link here - mugen lug nuts) do not fit (at...
  8. Official Wheel Fitment Thread for 11th Gen FL5 Civic Type R

    Edit: false alarm, I'm really silly and did not check each box close enough. I opened each box to quickly inspect each wheel but did not realize that the hardware was underneath the foam in one of the boxes. The thing that threw me off was getting a random tracking number which made me think...

    That's correct, I ordered everything together and I selected the cheapest FedEx international shipping. The wheels arrived together each in their original boxes. Strangely enough tho, it was UPS that ended up making the delivery even though I picked FedEx. The Black hawk Japan website only has...
  10. Official Wheel Fitment Thread for 11th Gen FL5 Civic Type R

    Before shipping the cost seemed to be pretty much what is listed on the black hawk Japan website currently. I've been thinking about getting these wheels for months so I've been watching the price closely. Surprisingly, the price only fluctuated slightly from when I started researching back in...

    I did a crazy thing and ordered the forged BBS Mugen wheels from black hawk Japan the other month, they finally got here. I can't wait to see these on the car with those Michelin pilot sports. I called my go to tire shop and I know the manager from autocross so I trust them to help me out with...
  12. Official Wheel Fitment Thread for 11th Gen FL5 Civic Type R

    Thank you for the breakdown! I appreciate the info. For me I have the stock Michelin tires (Im using all seasons right now for winter) so I need any wheels I get to fit the 265/30ZR-19 size. Ideally anything I get will be close to the +60 mm offset. It's good to know I have a little bit of play...
  13. Official Wheel Fitment Thread for 11th Gen FL5 Civic Type R

    Thank you all immensely for the input and feedback, I greatly appreciate it! I like the idea of the Mugen & OEM Honda forged wheels because they have the exact same +60 mm offset so I know either should pretty much match factory spec exactly. Those Volk wheels look great too. With that said...

    im thinking about potentially spending way too much money on these mugen wheels from blackhawk japan https://www.blackhawkjapan.com/products/mugen-42700-xnrc-995d-60?variant=48201232744739 Now, i've ordered a handful of small things from Japan here and there but nothing like this. And the...

    Thank you! And thanks for the link, I'll have to check out these other wheels. I'd have to do a little more research but I might be willing to wait a few months for some nice wheels. It looks like there are quite a number of different options. As long as I make sure they fit those michelin tires...
  16. Official Wheel Fitment Thread for 11th Gen FL5 Civic Type R

    Hi, I've had this thread page open in a tab for months and I made an account a while ago to ask about some wheels and I'm finally getting around to it. Last May I traded in my 2017 base civic for a 2024 type R and I love it. Those Michelin Pilot Sport summer tires are the stickiest things I've...
