How’s the winter snow drive?
Does anybody know what is the best 20mm spacers brand for my 2023 fl5?
Hey man great meeting you there. I had the other Boost Blue, we talked Sunday morning. Regarding the SCCA yearly membership, it renews one year from whenever you sign up and does not go by calendar year. Also, the Work 2 Get 1 free day doesn't have to be used the next weekend. They're pretty lax about it and you can use it whenever, and as far as I know it doesn't expire and can be transferred to friends/family. They have your registration history to look at it anyway. For the poor point bys from that GTI, I would definitely bring that up to your instructor, classroom instructor, or the event coordinators on the day of next time. With novice, they may be more cautious especially if the instructor is more nervous and it being your first ever track day. It generally is a lot better in intermediate in my experience, having both driven and observed both while flagging. Another thing you can do is pit in if it keeps happening, indicate with your hands that you're searching for a gap, and you'll be sent back out. The center caps melting off is like a rite of passage haha. Made the same mistake my first track day 2 years ago. Glad to see you decide on SRF, definitely utilize that FCPEuro lifetime replacement policy to keep costs down for you. You and that Camaro were killing it in novice, and I truly did see insane progression from Saturday to Sunday. I am planning to drive Main or Dominion as of right now, broken leg healing dependent. If not, I definitely will be flagging and collecting some more days for next season.
It was nice meeting you man. I did raise the issue to my instructor as well as during the class and it seemed to have improved in the later sessions, which was a nice bonus at the end. Best of luck with your injury. Thanks for watching!
Welcome to the real fun!
See you soon. 🫡🫡
Paragon R3’s or R5’s are a good value. Don’t worry about the brake light warning. Also, as long as you keep the engine stock you shouldn’t have issues with engine temps. I just posted my last track day video on my channel in 90+ degree weather and no issues with temps for me. Hopefully you go out to more events, I’m happy you have completed your first event safely!!!!
I'll check out the paragons. Thanks for the rec. I saw your last vid last week. I'll definitely go to more events next year!
@@turbo_tinYou’re welcome man, thanks for watching my video!!
Great content, Tin! Cheers 🍻 Just curious, have you done any research on purchasing safety equipment for track days? IE, 4 or 6 point harness, a HANS device, harness bar for the FL5 etc.
Hey Scott. Thanks for watching! I've done some research into the safety equipment. Planning on getting a HANS device soon as well as a cage and harness in the future.
thanks for sharing your experience on your first track day.
You're very welcome. Thanks for watching!
after a yr since this video , any issues occurred with the hardwire? I got a 23 sport touring
No issues so far
Do I need a catch can on my type s . Just bought it weeks ago and it’s sitting till I get it ppf or wrapped . Want to get all I need while it’s paused .
It's not necessary. A nice to have for sure

Just found your channel. I've been thinking about buying an 2024 or 25 integra type S but decided to compare to the honda type R to see if it's worth saving a few dollars. First, do you mind that neither comes with a sunroof, and have you compared the two cars? Also, it's been awhile since i've had a manual car, any concerns? Thanks for any help?
Thanks for watching! I did a comparison video between the two before. Regarding the sunroof, I don't mind that they don't come with one. It's a track car. Sunroofs just add more weight. If you're looking for a comfortable car to daily, I'd get the ITS. The CTR has less noise insulation so it's louder. The manual transmission in these are buttery smooth. You'll have no issue
@@turbo_tin Just saw it! Wow! I didn't take that into consideration. Extra dealer markup and the carbon fiber. Well, that's not going to happen LOL Thanks!
10 k miles before oil change is insane
Indeed. 5k from now on
hey man, how is your awe touring holding up? im reading a lot of people post on reddit about the slip on clamps coming loose over time and various issues causing rattling. would u say thats just a bad installation? thanks!
It's holding up just fine. I don't have any loose clamps or anything
I love the sound of awe, wish they made an active version for those times in back out of the garage at 4 am lol
A valve would be so nice
do you still have them. ? how are they holding up after a year. ?
Still have them. They're holding up just fine!
Helpful video. I was preparing for the installation of the barb fittings to be a Festivus-level feat of strength but it was not hard. Oil both ends with motor oil and apply pressure. No vice required. If it is too hard, give it to your wife to finish it for you 😂
Glad it helped! Still looking for the aforementioned wife 😂
I've heard a lot of people mention that the cabin noise in the FL5 is quite noticeable. What are your thoughts on this issue? Do you have any insights or comments on it? Thanks in advance.
Hey there, Cabin noise in the FL5 is definitely something to be worry about if you're looking for a daily driver. It doesn't have as much noise insulation as regular civics so they're on the louder side. You'll definitely get more NVH in this. Hopes that helps
@@turbo_tin Thank you. Unfortunately, I haven't had a chance to test drive the car. In Sweden, the only option is to place an order, which isn't ideal when you're looking for a daily driver. It's frustrating because you might end up with something that bothers you after purchase.
In that case I would recommend test driving the FK8. They be similar in that regard
There’s a dial next to the driver side vent 😴
It is still ridiculous out there! Just went to look at a Type R the other weekend and they wanted +10k over MSRP/ +60K OTD🤯They even had it roped off like it was a +200k Exotic at a car show! I laughed at that price. They said they haven’t sold one for less than +50k. Told them I would pay $45k OTD but that’s it and they said only 1 employee has gotten a deal like that. Hopefully people will stop paying that markup because we are the ones that are in control and if people just said no, they would be forced to sell it for MSRP! It is a dope car but not +$60k, dope! Hope that you and your family have a blessed one.
Thanks for watching! They're definitely not 60k+ cars. There are many MSRP deals to be had countrywide so I'd definitely keep looking. Check out the motoring obsession discord. They post MSRP deals whenever they get info
That insurance rate is legit. So is the interest rate. Good for you man.
Thanks for watching!
Does the prl intake need a tune? Saw a comment online that you might run lean if you run it without a tune.
You can run it without a tune but it's definitely better to get one
Really nice brother I have the OEM ones because ad ons of the dealer. But so far they been good if I’m not wrong they are from the regular civic. But those ones are dope mine is boost blue also I see is a really common color with the championship white but I love it.
Ayyy boost blue brother. Thanks for watching!
Are the oem mats that faded or are they just dirty?
A little bit of both
so you didn’t have to remove the actual mirror ? I thought that was required , you didn’t break any of the tabs of the old one ?
Nope did not have to take out the mirror. Didn't break any tabs
I learned nothing new about my car 😒 would have been nice to watch right after I got it. Nice video
Thanks for watching!
Is there a dent on your roof from someone trying to break your window. That happened to my civic
There is not, fortunately.
Car payment for the year was $15k? that's around $1200 a month. The gas wasn't as bad as I thought it would be though.
Roughly 1300/mo for car payment. Gas was cheaper cause it's mostly from Costco. Saved a lot from there
Hey man, great video! What bank did you use for financing ? 2.75% interest rate is super low , congrats
I used Commonwealth one credit union
Is there a discord for type r?
Yep. Just Google for motoring obsession
was looking for a FL5 for the past few months in Toronto Canada . there was NONE!~~ came across a DE 5 at MSRP. Got the car and I AM HAPPY
Congrats! Hope you enjoy your car
Nice! Please tell me the diameter of Momo steering wheel.
It was the mod 78 320mm one
Thanks! Can you see all the gauges and rev indicators without them being obscured by the steering wheel?
I can see them just fine with some adjustments to the steering column. 5'9 for your reference
Title made it sound like you sold it or traded it in for something else
Oops 😂
Is that Anya on the mirror 💀
🤐🤐
Was wondering if it had auto window roll down! Thanks, from absolutely sweltering Florida!
Hope it gets better down there!
That crazy. Same thing happened to me. Driving home, I hit a bump, then the tire went flat. I used it as my excuse to pull the trigger on the wheels I wanted.
Worthy sacrifice 😂
How much did you pay over MSRP?
4.5k
@@turbo_tin not bad at all considering mark up these days
Team Dewalt!
We can't be friends 😂
Honda is in the business of selling cars, don't listen to their recommended oil changes, 9k.....9k, way to long, 5k max! Oil is cheep, engines are expensive, do your maintenance early and often! Great car tho!
5k intervals from now on. Thanks for watching!
@@turbo_tinyes 5000 oil change with synthetic turbos cook oil
Do you have any knowledge on changing the current gauge display on the comfort and sport mode? Mine is different from what I saw in your video. My gauge display is not the round type.
What are you seeing if not the round tach?
Nice. I picked the spoon hub and wheel for my FL5 earlier this. This setup is super slick. Good luck on your track day
That's awesome 🤙. Thanks for watching!
Very helpful 👍
Glad it helped. Thanks for watching!
Awesome video thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Could you tell me the parts number for the keyfob? Would like to order one for my reg civic!
Where are the motorcycle videos duuuude?
When my mic gets sorted
@@turbo_tin What's the issue with the mic? You can try switching to the DJI setup I recommended.
I had a Spoon wheel and hub setup and went back to the Alcantara OEM wheel, I think Honda did it right!!
The perfect daily setup!
Think it's time for you to unplug that fake sound module too.

Go team hand me down parts!
We love 2nd hand parts!!
135 for insurance is cheap af
Yessirrrr
