What did you do to your FL5 today?

[Trey]

Acura part number is 83443-31M-A01ZB. Not 100% sure it will work on the Type R, but that's what I've seen people say online.

That’s the same one I ordered. Waiting for it to arrive.

Be careful when ordering the US ITS shift boot. 83443-31M-A01ZA has grey stitching. 83443-31M-A01ZB has red stitching.

Yeah just wrapped electrical tape around the center several times. It was almost perfect, but still had one little wrinkle.

Did this today and it worked perfectly! I used two 4 inch zip ties and put the hubs on the part of the shifter near the dashboard. Initially I just did it because I needed a little bit more length but it also helped even out the Overland boot so I don't have any noticeable wrinkles to bother me. Thanks for the tip!

I recently acquired new all-season floor mats that provide increased coverage around the red area near the dead pedal. Despite previously using OEM factory rubber mats, they fell short in offering complete protection. These are from Lasfit.

New FL5 owner here - just recently cleaned the car for the first time and added tints.

Just a heads up for all who have ordered the ITS Shift Boot, it did NOT fit on my Si. It is smaller so it won't directly bolt up. I also took out all the staples and tried to put it on my bezel for the leather one that came on the car and still no dice, too small.

Hope the FL5 is different for y'all but I find it hard to believe.


Edit - The Type R OEM boot and the Si boot is different part numbers so I guess we will see.

Nice!! Did you colour-match the mirror caps too?

Judging by the color of your CTR, I’d say it’s cold for sure.

Nice pics! What do you think of the PRL RMM? You daily drive your car?

Just fyi, Michelin suggests not using those tires below 20°F.

" Note: Tires exposed to temperatures of 20 degrees F (-7 degrees C) or lower must be permitted to gradually return to temperatures of at least 40 degrees F (5 degrees C) for at least 24 hours before they are flexed in any manner, such as by adjusting inflation pressures, mounting them on wheels or using them to support, roll or drive a vehicle. "

Thanks! Overall, I really like it and it's a noticeable improvement during gear shifts. A little more vibration during startup but it doesn't bother me. I try to daily it but usually avoid taking it out in severe weather.

Good to know. Thank you for the info. Didn't stay out for long < 20 mins. I just wanted to go for a quick spin to test the new mount and promptly went back into the garage right after this.

Still on summer tires? If so, be careful with that. Michelin says you can crack the sidewalls of these tires when exposed to too much cold and rolling on them or even inflating them. They recommended not driving on them below 20 degrees (I thought I read 32 degrees somewhere ). I’m sure there’s a safety factor built into that statement…but, we don’t know the conditions that will cause these tires to fail, so it’s best not to risk it if you don’t need to. Hope this helps.
