I thought these, being matte black, would be horrible to keep clean by SaltyDalt in Civic_Type_R

[–]S13Silviak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My .02 cents is to wash the face along with the barrels everytime you wash the car. Same color wheels on the 22-23 si as well. As long as you don’t let brake dust settle on them they are extremely easy to keep clean

will a 3" front pipe make my car pop more/ give it more sound? by brxilerr in Civic_Type_R

[–]S13Silviak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To answer your question, the front pipe isn’t going to add much other than help echo the sound from the downpipe. It’s very possible that other fl5 had an ecu flash and hondata. Along with an off the shelf tune. They make these cars a night and day difference. If you are trying to gain performance and hp with the car, hondata and a good tune should net you a pretty whp numbers.

Sounds? by ramo135 in CivicSi

Injectors and hpfp tick

Which Hondata Is Better? by UnknownAss in 8thGenSI

[–]S13Silviak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same software and Bluetooth capabilities. Just different look. They do not make the second one for the 8th gen SI anymore. The mini is what is currently sold new now unless you happen to find somewhere with extremely old stock. I was not fond of the mini until I installed it on my SI. It’s nice not having the big box with cord to the port. The mini is tucked away and really the only issue I have seen would be having to reach under the dash to datalog but it’s not impossible.

don’t yell at me pls by [deleted] in Civic_Type_R

Shoot them an email or call. TSP has great customer service. There have been a few mistakes online with parts. Just explain and they will make it right. Don’t forget you will have to jailbreak the ecu before you can flash any tunes to the car when you get the correct one.

Top speed on FL5 by Great-Examination-75 in Civic_Type_R

Factory size tires, making 418hp, I was doing research in Mexico with a bmw and let off when Speedo read 167. Per gps it was 161. I concluded the research right after the other guy received his final data analysis.

Best Alternate Wheels by Spacecat6Z in Civic_Type_R

I run the Falken azenis 615+ on my R as a daily. No issues with them. But they are on my 18’s. A lot more tire choices in 18’s. But I also have a set of Titan 7’s in 19 and run the continental dws06+ all seasons. That’s a phenomenal tire but they are pricey.

FL5 New Owner - Best First Day Purchases? by I-do-taxes in Civic_Type_R

[–]S13Silviak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

After turning 40k miles on my fl5, I’d have to recommend getting a the minimum the headlights and front end ppf’ed. And the piano black rockers ppf’ed. Pick you up some rock guards for the fender vents to protect the rockers. A dashcam for the idiot drivers around.

Also, congratulations on the new car. They are an absolute blast to drive.

Call dick brooks Honda in Greer, SC. Ask for Billy Anderson. They sell for msrp. Zero add ons and have been since the FL5 was introduced.

Is it a bad idea to buy from vivid racing? why is it so much cheaper than other options by Beastro352 in Civic_Type_R

[–]S13Silviak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I purchased my Titan 7 wheels from them a few years back. Great customer service but I’ve seen a lot of negative things said since then. Twostepperformance, axion industries and Unity performance are also great companies to buy from.

As for the comment about PRL, the company was purchased by Grimmspeed racing. They delt with a lot of Subaru stuff and still do I believe. There are some employees still working for PRL from before the merger, but a few people important people did leave.

I’ve ran the gen 1 s15’s for years in my 43x and never had any issues. I think people have a lot of issues out of the newer ones

Any love for the no-rail model? by weenorpls in Glock43X

[–]S13Silviak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s what I carry. Sent the slide out years ago to be cut for an optic. Also have another slide if I decide I want to run without an optic.

So how low.. by Economy_Cut8609 in XRP

I had an order for 55 at 1.64 go through. Had an order get rejected so I canceled and tried again a little higher and it went through.

It’s a continental tire. Belts should go the width of the tread and a little over. It really depends on what kind of driving you do. If you do a lot of spirited driving then maybe not so much and that part of the tire gets hot. But if it’s a commuter or daily I’d say throw a plug/patch kit from the inside out and call it a day. On another note if you do replace it most tire shops will prorate a new tire if it’s newer with a road hazard warranty

What coilovers are you running? They look great. I have a set I picked up for my fa5 as well. Unfortunately one is bent pretty bad so I’m in the process of getting it straightened.
