Looks really good but I wonder how much the sound changes when the valve is closed? I looked at the FL5 version and both the valved and unvalved sides look really similar.

Have they shared any details on what's actually different about the knurling? Any pictures of the differences?

Honestly it would be nice if they could just offer the knurling as an option on the wheel. I think most folks who aren't doing hardcore track work probably don't benefit from it. A ton of folks run wheels like the RPF1 which have no knurling and I haven't heard of anyone having issues with tire...

Good to hear, sounds like Socal dealers are a lot more reasonable than the Norcal ones I've talked to. Although I literally had a Socal Honda dealer tell me I couldn't sit in an FL5 because they didn't want me to "get it dirty". Never walked out so fast.

Meanwhile in California a dealership recently told me this car is never going to reach MSRP and they want $7500 over

Even if it's using dynamic ride height as in it estimates tire load by measuring ride height changes, I'd still imagine ride height changes don't translate to load in the same way if spring rates are now different. For example, with a stiffer lowering spring, the same amount of load on a corner...

Saw this article today, and they mention how the car has ride height sensors, and the data is fed into the ABS module and the ECU to calculate tire load and brake vector accordingly. So does that mean lowering the car could mess with the brake vectoring tuning...

I really don't think Acura would spend the money to develop this car only to sell 7200 units of it. That's less than a single year of GR Corolla sales. My theory is first year was hindered by supply chain planning, and once 2025 comes around they'll sell more. They've also tested the market out...

I wonder if he said that just to convince you to buy a 2024? Regardless if he’s right, they better be adding back some features they decontented with such a big price hike. Although they did hike the FL5’s price by 1900$ for 2024 while making zero changes.

Is that the brushed clear? That finish has been growing on me, plus it'll never show curb rash lol

I've been watching the car delivery tracker and pretty much all the new cars are going to the Northeast and Florida at the moment. Hoping more will come to the west coast as well! I hope someone can shed light on how these shipments are being allocated region wise as well.

I wouldn't be surprised if the reason it was omitted was part shortages. The car came out mid 2023, so part contracts and manufacturing were probably being set up well in advance and at that point they might still have had shortages. That's why I'm guessing that the 2025 might have some of these...

Why are so many cars going to the NYC area? There are more cars at a single dealership in NJ than all of Northern California lol.

Don’t let the dealers see this news lol

Wait, going back to this, are spring rates different on the rear springs? I haven't been able to find stock spring rates for both cars so that's why I ask.

Yeah I know, I meant this as a response to the DSC controller that was linked which does continuous suspension damping changes

This guy on instagram has a voltex type 12 wing on his DE5 and it looks similar to the FL5 wing:

It's possible that continuously changing the damper settings on adjustable dampers that are designed to have discrete settings could cause the components to wear prematurely. The FL5/DE5 setup also might not respond quickly enough to benefit from continuous adjustments.

I wonder if anyone will make an aftermarket version that keeps the Integra's comfort and sport modes with +R for the track.

Excited to see the lap time they set with the ITS and see how it compares to the FL5.
