  1. POWER

    I know nobody wants to talk about EV's since they don't make any noise, but if all you want is straight line speed, I don't think there is a more cost effective option than a used Model 3 Performance. Here's an example in Florida: 2021 Model 3 Performance These run 1/4 mile times about 1 full...

  2. New to the expansion tank issue

    Does anyone know if this was a problem on the FK8? I don't remember it being an issue back when I was active on CivicX with my old car, and I'm wondering if the FK8 tank would fit. I feel like a metal tank is going to heat soak when I'm idling between autoX sessions.

  3. Type R Multiple recalls - Fuel Pump + Steering

    Fuel pumps were a thing for all FK8's. Since they share the same engine it makes sense the FL5 might be affected as well.

  4. What did you do to your FL5 today?

    Big day today. Paid an uncomfortable amount of money for a really fancy ceramic coating from the best shop in town, put in my 3D Mats Kagu liners, installed my ZL1 rock guards. Coming soon: I ordered the PRL RMM. I never put a full RMM in my FK8, just the mount inserts. This will be a change for...

  5. FL5 stock exhaust valve: Fuse pulled/always open - exterior sound clips

    So I put the fuse back in today. There is definitely a big difference in tone (maybe not noise, but tone) at low RPM from outside the car. From inside it sounds about the same. I will say that I also noticed that the car felt less prone to stalling when starting out in first gear with the valve...

  6. FL5 infotainment reliability

    No kidding. That 2015 era infotainment in the FK8 was the worst thing about the car. I also had a 2020. It would completely crash and render the climate control useless on about 50% of my trips. And if you didn’t wait for the system to fully boot before plugging in your phone CarPlay would not...

  7. What did you do to your FL5 today?

    New to this platform as of Sunday. A 2024 FL5 in my favorite color popped up at a Carmax in my town. I drove my FK8 over there to test drive it and then left with it. I already have 3 sets of wheels/tires that will fit, but I will need to find a different legal set for autocross since the OEM...

  8. FL5 stock exhaust valve: Fuse pulled/always open - exterior sound clips

    Just went to go do this free mod on my new-to-me FL5. Looks like the previous owner was on this forum. It's already been done. Now I'm wondering if it also has the DE5 ADS module, because I'm coming from an FK8, and this car definitely rides better than my old car.
