Isn't there one on the steering wheel? Isn't that enough?
Yeah I won't be using the one on the radio. Just the steering wheel. I never use the one on my radio on the 370z now.

Any idea what gas it came with? 93, 91, etc. If 93 octane is the reason for the 306hp and not 316 like in Europe, then I may have to drive slightly further for 93. No big deal, just curious.

BTW, there have been 2 dynod that I saw. One making 295whp and the other 301whp. So it seems Honda underrated the HP figures.
not sure what they put in there but every gas station around me has 93

Dude that's a really nice offer...enjoy your type-R... make sure you put it on a track and get some lessons / coaching if needed.... I'm sure it's a different beast on the track...

@TypeR_500 would you mind sharing how the stereo system is? Is it decent?
you know what I didn't even care to mess with the system yet I'ma have to play around with it. with all the features on the infotainment system its kinda frustrating to find certain things Ima have to really spend some time messing with everything

Congrats, did you get the car the same day you bought it?? Im going tomorrow to do all the paperwork. Hopefully the car is ready for me
oh yeah I got the car the same day like 2 hrs after I first laid eyes on it. the signing process was pretty quick since I knew the finance manager he's a close friend of mines brother in law. was pretty stoked when I seen him working there lol didn't helped me out with the price though.

well my m3 is rwd and 450hp 406ft full torque kicks in at around 1850 rpm if I remember correctly. so its instantly. don't get me wrong it feels quick for a Honda Civic. and R+ mode will make you smile like a kid plus the bov sound omfg :spaz:
So what you're saying is that if you were like me, someone use to driving V6 Accords for the past few years, the CTR is awesome right? The ETA for mine is Friday and some of these reviews are killing me haha
