Everything is resolved! Dealer confirmed the previous CEL code and did a diagnostic check to make sure everything was ok, then did a complete clear, no $$ charged (I’m guessing that when I “cleared” with my bluetooth OBDII dongle it still wasn’t a full clear as what the dealer device is able to...
Awesome write-up @optronix ! It’s a pleasure to see DE5 owners taking to the track/autoX, where the car is more than happy to be! I was also struggling with keeping tire pressure screen up after pedal dance, eventually said screw it and just checked after each session. Good note on fuel...
This is from my post about my track day this past Sunday (10/1). although I cleared that CEL about the fuel rail/system pressure being low and thought everything was fine, I’m now noticing that the pops and bangs aren’t present in sport+, even after being properly warmed up (like, 10 mins...
they’re a light gray color, but if you get black tire valve caps it would blend in. Here they are installed on FL5 forged accessory wheels that I use as track wheels
? best lap of the day was 1:43. My first time at that track and learning the car’s limits. Excited to get under 1:40 next time and get closer to the car’s potential
(Actually yesterday) Took it to the track!! Had a lot of fun, the car was very capable and for sure had more to give than I was willing to ask for on its first track day. Experimented with full VSA on, partial off, and pedal dance; I preferred pedal dance, felt best of the three, although my...
Got ready for the track tomorrow (Willow Springs, Big Willow). Swapped out to Motul 660 brake fluid and slapped on FL5 forged accessory wheels wrapped with Michelin Sport Cup 2 Connects, also installed splash guards; track day organizer said no center caps
PS: confirmed, brand new OEM TPMS...
jealous! Although I’ll be running with Team Honda Research West and their race-spec Civic Si, so that will be cool. They’re testing in preparation for the 25-hour Thunderhill (with a race-spec FL5, too!), and I’ll also be there at the race to support the team (? not racing because I don’t work...
Nice!! When are you headed? I’m going to Willow Springs this coming Sunday (Oct. 1) running Big Willow. Fully stock except FL5 accessory forged wheels + Michelin Sport Cup 2 Connects
Thanks for letting us know @RCX
so just to be clear, the front and rear emblems were not removed, correct? Basically, as you mentioned, red wrap material was perfectly cut and placed over the original black background of the emblem?
if so, let’s get a template out there ?️
Those Michelin PS4S tires are loud as fuck though, but they get a pass from me for being pretty grippy for a daily
savagegeese did a direct NVH comparison between fl5 and de5; de5 is ~5db quieter

Maybe use the same darker red used for the engine cover?
I think it still needs to match the traditional red background and silver logo, but just my opinion. Would still like to see black background red logo
just confirmed with Acura service department (DCH Acura of Tustin, CA) that there is a self-learning auto program capability as long as OEM sensors are used. If there’s an issue with a sensor being picked up, a few options: hard reset by disconnecting battery terminals, soft reset using plugged...
