  1. FL5 vs. FK8 brake cooling

    The FL5 marketing literature suggested that the FL5 brake cooling was superior. Does anyone know what they did differently on the new model?
  2. What parts from FL5 will fit FK8?

    I'm wondering about the: radiator water pump/water pump pulley (the water pump pulley is on a faster ratio) seats
  3. options for CAN bus decoder that output to a phone?

    I'm wondering what other options there are besides the AIM SOLO 2 DL?
  4. Oil cooler questions?

    With all the current side mount oil coolers (HKS, USR, etc.) does the oil go through the filter before going through the cooler? Is the stock oil pump, that is meant to pump oil through the filter, strong enough to pump through the cooler? I guess I'm asking gallons per minute. How many GPM...
  5. Just FYI: Honda Type R TC cooling

    The radiator in this car is made only for the Type R TC and isn't sold otherwise. The oil cooler is CSF #8119.
  6. bluetooth call quality vs. year and phone type?

    I have a 2018 Type R and when I call people using bluetooth and a pixel 2, the person on the other end will complain that I sound like I'm underwater. On my end it's fine. Is anyone else having this issue? It seems this post is the closest to what I'm describing...
  7. splitter replacement tutorial?

    To those who have replaced their splitter, are there only the two screws in front of the wheels on each side and the plastic rivets under the car? Or are there other screws? (I'm wondering about the holes/brackets in this picture and I wanted to know everything I'm going to run into before...
  8. How I chose the CTR

  9. Sun visor problems

    The sun visor doesn't seem to be shaped properly. 1. The notch on the top-left of the sunvisor near the mounting location is too big so sun can be seen over the notch and below the roofline. 2. The sun visor doesn't extend far enough to the left in general (even below the notch) so sun can...
  10. Should I get GTC01RR wheels?

    I'm looking for: -Offset close to stock (ET50 is the absolute lowest I'd go with, but would much rather have ET55-60) -Price (under $600/wheel) -weight as low as possible (max 22 pounds/wheel) -want 18x8.5 or 18x9 (want to be able to still run 245, if I feel like it) The only thing that seems...
  11. Really such a difference between 30 and 35 section tires over bumps? Or is it bumpstops?

    I have 200 miles on my CTR now; it's a fantastic drivers car. However, I'm finding that although most bumps are fine, joints on the highway, where there is a change in angle/height across the whole lane or a 1/2ish inch step due to construction or lack of maintenance on a transition on an...
  12. 1. We still need ET60 wheels 2. Here's some ET53 at least (edit: and two ET60 options)

    It seems we still have VERY few aftermarket options for ET60 wheels. My guess is all the aftermarket wheel manufacturers are just taking measurements of fender clearance and don't quite realize that there is a large group of buyers just waiting for a near ET60 wheel because of suspension...
  13. Does anyone know how long 2018 deliveries will continue in the states?

    Just want to know how many more months of shipments, thanks!
  14. Has anyone ordered a car?

    Just wondering if anyone has gotten a dealer to order the color that you wanted. It's not clear whether that is possible, but it seems that most other dealers allow this. I don't care if it takes months.
  15. Take Action, Call Honda North America about CTR overheating!

    Short version: I called Honda North America (1-800-999-1009) and told them that I was concerned about the overheating reported in the CTR. They said that every technical concern is forwarded to their engineers and that the issues with the most complaints get priority. So give Honda a call and...
  16. Interesting market update

    Of 40 CTR sales, 20 people paid less than $35,600, so half of those 40 buyers paid less than 1k ADM. Conversely, 8 people paid more than 40k, they just probably bought it for what the dealer asked, without preordering. And 11 buyers are distributed between MSRP and 40k, some paid 36k, some...
  17. Current truecar says most pay about 35k

    Just saying.
  18. Weight of stock wheels? What is the offset?

    Just wondering what the weight of the stock wheels are (if you measure with the tire, we can lookup the tire weight and figure it out)? I also wanted to confirm what the offset is? Enkei RPF1 18X8.5 ET40 wheels are about $1144 for a set at tire rack. Michelin PS4S tires are $480 a set cheaper...
  19. CTR faster than focus RS 60-110 mph?

    Forgetting 0-60, it seems like 60-110 mph is about 8.8 in the CTR and 9.8 in the Focus RS (I watched the videos on slow and timed it). (this is 97 km/h to 177 km/h) The older CTR is faster too: Not surprising, but it's good to see data! (CTR is 340 pounds lighter, is more aerodynamic...
  20. Track? (poll)

    Just wondering what the track plans are for potential Type R buyers. I think I'd go a couple times in this car, to get a feel for it. Almost a little irresponsible not to ;) Although with light weight and big brakes, it seems like this could be a good long term 6+ event a year car. Oh yeah...
