Search Honda-Tech - there are hundreds of examples of Rota wheels failing in any number of ways on Hondas dating back over 20 years.

This is like the appropriate car for these slips - they look cool and you don’t get grief for putting them on a Fit.

Be careful with Rotas and knockoffs on this car - I had a set, like all of us, like 20 years ago on my CRXs. This Type R is a whole different animal, and unless they’ve vastly improved their QC, I wouldn’t trust them. These cars are getting more valuable; you don’t want to break a wheel at...

What’s also interesting about these graphs and numbers, is that if you watch, for example, Savagegeese’s video, he includes slides on design improvements for the FL5 from Honda. Look closely at those graphs and you’ll see Honda, once again, playing a shell game as all FL5 “improvements” are...

Y’all keep mentioning FL5 and FK8 lap times at the Ring and endurance on track, but I haven’t heard anyone actually mention anything about aerodynamics - which, IMO, is one of the huge factors in why the FL5 isn’t setting lap records. One of the huge design elements for the FL5 was to move it to...

Is anyone else thinking that the 2024 Integra Type S may be the car they’re going for the Nurburgring record with? FL5 - Set up for tracks like Suzuka and Tskuba FK8 - Set up for Nurburgring and similar Integra Type S(R?) - Maybe the actual successor to the FK8’s setup?

I’m just surprised that only one reviewer channel (throttle house) had the balls to compare the FL5 to the FK8. Seems that Honda tried to keep that from happening. Hell, even in Savagegeese’s video, Mark deflected the direct question of how it compares to the FK8 to a tantalizing comparison to...

That TLDR isn’t quite right - Note what Thomas says at the end that everyone else reviewing the FL5 is afraid to say at 23:12 - “…If you put the [FK8] on PS4S, it’s probably within a shot of being the same time around a track.” Note what I said above -wayyyy back on 9:27 “To put two and two...

I wonder how many people are aware that the Renault costs £72,000 - that’s $88k+ US Dollars? I like to make sure I post that fact whenever I see it mentioned. 😂

I’ve never had a real issue. Any of the 2 or 3 times in the last 18 months that I got a 2nd gear grind, I wasn’t paying attention. Im a fairly typical driver who drives quickly pretty often, but I’ve got very good clutch technique and have driven Hondas like an AP1 S2000 and 2000 Prelude to...

Note the shell game Honda played with the facelifted FK8 - They never posted the LE’s numbers or the facelifted FK8’s numbers on the Ring. They never showed any internal data or lap times on the facelifted FK8 at any other track (unless you count the LE). Most everyone with skill that isn’t...

There are some rumblings that the FL5 isn’t as quick as the FK8 on certain tracks - I also have not seen a Nurburgring time posted, only that the FL5 was tested there. I fully believe that the FL5 will be a better car to live with than the FK8 (Im looking at you 2020 head unit) but Im interested...

So, this is probably one of the oldest receipts you’ll ever see on the internet, but I’ve been recommending this stuff for at least 14 years. There are threads of me recommending Shnchromesh FM in 2004. https://honda-tech.com/forums/acura-rsx-dc5-honda-civic-ep3-32/2nd-gear-miss-shifts-2331795/...

About the same here! Around then I turned down the chance to buy a Black 2001 ITR with bent valves because I didn’t want to take the time to repair it. The owner wanted $10k cash - and I told him that was too much. 🤣

Just coming back to this - the AP1 S2000 was $32-34k in 2000-2001. That’s roughly $55k in today’s dollars. All of us in-period teenage Honda Fanboys were livid that we would never be able to afford one. 😂 Value wise- there will not be enough FL5 cars to put a dent into the FK8 prices. I know...

Same here - Former AP1 owner. There were over 60k S2000s built and sold in the US, there were around 20,000 US FK8s built. The facelift FK8 production for the US was likely around 7k total over two model years - people are seeing these cars now because some of the first owners are DDing them and...

I always recommend Larry Kosilla’s stuff on YouTube. You don’t need to buy his products, but his techniques are very good, and he’s very thorough. He’s at Ammo NYC on yt.

Look at the Type R engine bay - notice that the strut towers are integrated into the firewall? The firewall acts as the brace. There is no benefit to adding a bar to this chassis. The same is true for a car like the S2000 with the X-bone frame - in other words, Honda didn’t just leave the bar...

I think the 2019 rotors fit without modifications - check the forum for confirmation. They’re less than half the price of the 2 piece. Like 115 a rotor.

I use steam and an extractor with no issues. Make sure you use a dedicated fabric cleaner and a brush - you’re trying to get the fabric to fluff up or stand. Make sure to blot, and fluff - don’t be too aggressive with the scrubbing or chemicals. The key here is to clean and lift the fibers up...
