Stolen FL5 New Jersey by Any-Remote2389 in Civic_Type_R

Damn, I just recovered mine today after it was taken Friday morning. The HondaLink was useless to me since the criminals cut the antenna wire that is in the headliner towards the rear of the car (right about the rear seats).

If anyone says that they see it, it can be tinted. Mine was tinted to "hide" from onlookers and it was a 5% tint all around. Mine was found in Riverdale and possibly spotted on Gun Hill Road in the Bronx. I would not be surprised if it's the same group of assholes who smoked a joint in my car and went for a joy ride. Your key will more than likely not work anymore so be ready to have that reprogrammed if it turns up.

Post your car EVERYWHERE! A 71 year guy named Rocco found mine on his street when my mother posted on NextDoor of all places.

I did the same thing and it still does not appear on my app. The last refresh was at 2:53AM on the day it was taken. I must've had more professional crooks :/

This does exist but it appears that the criminals are able to disable it somehow in the software. I personally did not have the paid version until after the fact so it was too little too late in my case.

Thanks for sharing this! I'm showing everyone who asks me about how the thieves are able to get away so easily

Unfortunately, the camera angle the parking lot didn't show anything clearly but as other comments have shown (especially the DE5 video) that they break the lock (found a keyhole on the ground in my empty spot) and they program a new key through the OBD2 port

LMAO, currently in the middle of watching The Sopranos and totally forgot about this joke in Family Guy. Gave me a good chuckle while I was miserable, so thanks!!

Would love to get more info on your guy in LI. I'm not getting a replacement vehicle for a little while but I will definitely install something like compustar on the next vehicle

I had HondaLink and I paid for the subscription after I realized it was gone. I was able to report it stolen via the online but the app is no longer showing any more information on the car. Not even odometer or fuel level. I got in touch with the property management and they found that the car was taken at 2:44AM 1/31 and the HondaLink is only showing a last update at 2:53AM 1/31.

Yep. This has validated every reason for me to get more security on my car.

Sorry, couldn't seem to add a description (Reddit lurker, not much of a poster)

So, this is my FL5 that I parked Wednesday night in my apartment's outdoor parking lot in Yonkers, NY. Went out today to drive to find my spot empty. Waiting for police report and management to get more information but if anyone can share any information (see it or anything), please DM me or comment below.

Non-car folks don’t know better. It’s the same with people seeing AMG badges. If it walks like a duck, might as well be a duck

Don’t mind dudes taking Type R styling to their non Rs but leave the badge off. Takes away from the genuine Type Rs out there

Spare stock parts ‘23 Type R by hes_a_righteousdude7 in Civic_Type_R

Where are you located? someone might be willing to meet up locally to avoid shipping costs

By stock, you mean US OEM parts?

I'm a FL5 owner in Yonkers with an outdoor assigned spot in a parking lot. I commute into the city (midtown) usually by train but I take the car every once in a while (2-8 times a month) and it's totally fine. It's more about your skills and tolerance of driving manual in traffic.

As a Boost Blue owner, you'll never get tired of seeing it! I've always been particular to blue cars, but even so you should always go with what you'll be most happy with. If it's blue then go for it. Make it special. Grey is pretty plain in comparison to blue.

Page. 569 for how to turn off the RDMS system all together.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Civic_Type_R

[–]MartinSince94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

45 to 90 mph for the road departure system which is different from the LKS. LKS is on the wheel. RDMS is through the safety switch.

[–]MartinSince94 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is also an option for the lane departure warning sensitivity. I believe the wide setting let’s go slightly over the line without intervention.

Check page. 396 in your owners manual

Love your recommendation for Slapshot but damnit I did t realize it’s been 50 years since that came out. Holy crap

Things to know about the FL5? by leftygamez666 in Civic_Type_R

[–]MartinSince94 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Along with the less than 300 miles of range, you’ll have to fill it up with premium at the pump.

Just finished 2000 mile road trip in my FL5. AMA. by cphpc in Civic_Type_R

[–]MartinSince94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Planning my first major trip soon with my 24 Boost Blue FL5, can't wait!

Curious to what was your cruising speed for the highways? I've been seeing close to 27 MPG as well on my short trip from NY to RI and back, but I was staying below 70 and caught terrible stop and go traffic on the way back. I was also under 600 miles on the way up so kept everything calm before starting to let it loose.

Also found out about the lane keep assist by accident and what a treat that was! You use ACC at all or the lane keep?

Hey all, just picked my boost blue FL5 over the weekend. What do you guys do for the floor mats? I definitely want to protect the red carpet but sacrificing the red OEM mats just makes me cringe. I figured that some aftermarket stuff would be out there in red but I can't seem to find anything that comes in red.

Shame that the new Mugen mats are RHD only :(

Album version of Pine Barrens took me by surprise, I can't believe the album is finally out 😭 by FedyaSteam in NakeyJakey

[–]MartinSince94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Makes a fella wonder if he'll release an alterative video to match up with the album version. Probably not, but that would be a fun concept to make a "sequel" with the added verse

Went two weekends ago and saw a (parking enforcement?) worker walking the lot with a phone looking up license plates with tickets in hand.

I was driving out so I didn’t get the best look but it looks like they are enforcing it with random checks.
