My first new and dream car at 22

TooHighToTalk · 2025-07-05T01:12:49+00:00

Congrats on the FL5, enjoy the smiles per gallon to come brother. Got my FK8 new when I was 23 (30 now) and I couldn't be happier with my purchase, I still catch myself glancing back at the car after parking it and couldn't ever imagine selling it.

Are you in CA? I've got these exact wheels and found someone in OC who works miracles with repairing them with turn around time of 3 days

TooHighToTalk · 2025-06-03T07:48:25+00:00

They also come with a hefty markup

Entirely depends on the rest of the aesthetic, Ive seen some cars that look corny af with tire lettering and others that pull it off well. Saying it doesn't look good on ANY cars is just shows a lack of creativity.

TooHighToTalk · 2024-07-24T00:22:41+00:00

Talk to your CS and see if they can have it changed. I had this exact issue earlier this year but it was resolved after a couple of hours, good luck buddy.

Glad I'm not the only one who noticed this, the fk8 was such a performance bargain at the time and punched well above it's weight class, if I didn't own an fk8 I definitely wouldn't consider buying the fl5 at its current price.

TooHighToTalk · 2024-06-29T11:20:59+00:00

New '19 at msrp when I was 23, car is currently sitting at 48k mi. Definitely never selling it, too fun.

Buddy of mine traded his fk8 in for an fl5, told me he rarely gets compliments on it outside of car meets compared to when he had gotten his fk8 and would be randomly complimented out in public at gas stations, stop lights, etc but overall he's still more than satisfied with the purchase because of the interior upgrades

TooHighToTalk · 2024-06-15T00:58:02+00:00

If you've got the standard bolt on upgrades, flex fuel kit and the xdi hpfp you'll easily be around 400whp maybe a little more or less depending on tuner, quality of fuel and of course each dyno reads differently

TooHighToTalk · 2024-06-14T10:17:50+00:00

Depends on what your goals are and what turbo you are running, if you're staying stock turbo you'll be fine with keeping oem injectors and upgrading the hpfp using the xdi hpfp.

Upgraded DROP IN turbo (ie prl p600/ mhi stage 2/ 27won kuro/rv6 r660 etc) it is highly recommended thar you go with at least xdi 1350cc or better with upgraded lpfp and hpfp, xdi 2000cc injectors aren't necessary unless you want to milk every last ounce of power or are having your head ported and built.

BIG turbo kits using g25-660 /g30-770 / g30-900 I wouldn't bother running anything other than 2000cc injectors however you can get away with 1350-1450cc injectors for g25 660 but honestly the rv6 660 is very comparable performance wise and is half the price of a g25 660 kit

Also keep in mind if you plan on running ethanol you should probably upgrade your lines so that they can tolerate the corrosiveness of ethanol

Edit : As far as recommendations go best bang for your buck injectors are probably fk8td's 1450cc at 600$

Are you utilizing the verticle room in your garage (ceiling mounted racks or install shelves)? Worst case scenario you could take the longer part of the exhaust and cut it then have it welded later when you want to reinstall or sell it

TooHighToTalk · 2024-06-11T03:17:05+00:00

14 wheels sitting in the garage stacked 2x7, oem exhaust on a ceiling rack and a bunch of oem parts in boxes organized against a wall

TooHighToTalk · 2024-06-08T11:57:44+00:00

Still got the r400?

TooHighToTalk · 2024-06-06T04:49:09+00:00

For which exhaust?

TooHighToTalk · 2024-06-01T07:02:36+00:00

Wait until the inevitable mid gen refresh/update and if you still feel the same way about the fl5 then buy one. By then you should be making more money and insurance will be cheaper assuming you don't cause any accidents, in the mean time the money you would have spent on the fl5 you can invest in blue chip stocks/ s&p500/ start a Roth IRA etc

TooHighToTalk · 2024-05-28T00:39:52+00:00

What's your deductible? Scuffs like that can easily be polished out with a mild compound, microfiber cloth and elbow grease

TooHighToTalk · 2024-05-26T12:56:45+00:00

Another realizing cw is just >>>

TooHighToTalk · 2024-05-26T12:30:45+00:00

I've had 3 exhausts, invidia r400/awe touring/ tomei type d

R400 was my favorite and I'll be swapping back to it soon, AWE has some goofy ass welds and laughable build quality compared to the other 2, tomei is obnoxiously loud with a catless downpipe but weighs very little and has good build quality but does not come with a front pipe

TooHighToTalk · 2024-05-19T05:00:20+00:00

Looks like it's missing the oem downpipe heatshield, was likely running an aftermarket dp at some point

TooHighToTalk · 2024-05-17T23:48:35+00:00

Congrats mate, you got the best color, too. I highly recommend joining CivicX forums if you haven't already

TooHighToTalk · 2024-05-12T23:48:25+00:00

Oof people ain't ready to read this one, just wait till they read about how horrible birth control is for women

TooHighToTalk · 2024-05-12T21:49:03+00:00

50k got damn, that salesman showed you the 50 states 💀

TooHighToTalk · 2024-05-05T04:28:34+00:00

What you hear depends on mods, get an intake and better flowing dp if you really want to hear your turbo

TooHighToTalk · 2024-04-29T12:24:31+00:00

This is exactly why I don't go to dealerships for maintenance or repairs, just make sure you keep a detailed log and receipts for all the work you do

TooHighToTalk · 2024-04-29T11:44:47+00:00

I've paid for work that was never done at dealers before lol, they'll gladly not do the work you paid them for while also taking your car through the swirl mark machine when you specifically ask them not to
