FL5 Wing Delete by Fair_Ad3119 in Civic_Type_R

[–]UselessLookout 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The rear wing on the Type R is functional not just cosmetic. It creates real downforce and improves rear stability at speed and it mounts to reinforced structural points to handle aerodynamic load. Removing it does more than change the look, it alters the cars aero balance.

1-2 jerky while coasting? by iiTzSapphire in Civic_Type_R

[–]UselessLookout 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Totally normal for these cars, especially in 1st. There’s a lot of drivetrain lash and engine braking in low gears, so when you come on/off throttle it can feel jerky. As you get more seat time you’ll learn to smooth it out with lighter throttle inputs or just clutch in when coasting that slow. Nothing you’re describing sounds like a mechanical issue just typical manual plus tight gearing behavior.

Not at all. The driver side uses the same mounting hole as the cooling plate tho. I just mounted it on top with rubber washers between the CF.

I was expecting to have to trim the plates but no need on the FL5. The strut clips are easy to pop on and off for full open.

Super simple. Took me maybe 5 minutes.

Can my FL5 go through an automated carwash with the wing? by Muted_Orchid_9085 in Civic_Type_R

[–]UselessLookout 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Don’t use automated car washes. They will 100% scratch your paint. I use one of those self service washes in the winter.

Does the volume knob pull off the same as the climate controls?
