  1. SEMA 2018

    let’s not forget how power is made please.
  2. Civic Type R at the track, goods and bads! Let's share our experience.

    I’ve had the same issue, these brakes when cold do tend to make a slight hum sound but a little pulsation or wobble is probably pad material built up, I would drive it a little and try to drag the brakes a little more into stopping (stop earlier than normal and take longer) this should help to...
  3. Our brakes are soooo good

    I think they tested it and got a 70-0 or 60-0 in like 98 or 99 feet don’t quote me directly on that but it’s right around most high end performance car’s stopping distance numbers. Plus or minus a few feet. Better tires would obviously decrease the distance even more
  4. got challenged to a race AGAIN

    This happened at lot in my area with my CTR I’ve rolled raced most of them and won. I don’t really get bothered much, most of the time they are just looking to have a “fun” time. But racing on a street is dangerous. When they pull up just give them a wave/thumbs up and say Nice/cool car. That’s...
  5. Type R TRC price?

    Think Honda said it was to cool the intake manifold and what not. But the tcr has all types of paths for air flow so I think they just have the side ones to vent any heat from charge pipes and what not
  6. Type R TRC price?

    I believe it’s 120-150k ish it’s an FK7 body lots of things changed For the most part it’s a bone stock motor. Internal wise. Motel ecu to advance timing for race fuel. Through body rear anti roll bar, larger brakes, relocated intercooler with wide body bumper design A used 2016 CTR TCR with...
  7. When should I start hunting my CTR down?

    I called 40 dealers in my state to buy one the week they came out. For MSRP, so the answer is now. Call everyone in your area. You can get them for MSRP. it just takes time and dedication. Best of luck
  8. CTR Overheating?

    @turboshawn So the s2000 f20C never cracked retainers and floated valves? The b18C and B16b never had oil pressure issues after over heating The D16z never had a trash transmission. The k20a never burned oil The 996 Carrera never had IMS issues? The e46 never had DSG issues? Or is it just...
  9. CTR Overheating?

    I sorta have to agree and disagree. It is a design flaw for sure. I’m sure those who are interested in it being a dedicated track car will find more effective ways to end the heat issue. As far as an intercooler causing problems. Sure larger volume means more area to keep things cool but it’s...
  10. turbo blanket and intercooler:

    The blanket is going to keep the exhaust side hot and contain that heat so you won't see heat transfer to the cold side similar to the heat shield which is designed to pull excess heat away from the cold side. Interesting to see how it works out. Likely to see quicker spool time because it keeps...
  11. Civic Type R at the track, goods and bads! Let's share our experience.

    Oh okay I see, I have a subtle full frontal. On the track i only got hit with other people's rubber, I try to avoid people's rear ends on the open roads, I would recommend a full frontal PPF, the wheel well/lower rocker sees the most rock abuse from what I've observed.
  12. Higher rpm while driving highway speeds?

    S mode in the CVT keeps the transmission on a closer ratio therefore allowing for high engine RPM speed. Higher engine speed results in closer to peak torque RPM ranges. More "get up and go" the ecu could be adjusting fuel map or throttle inputs based on driving for maximum efficiency or engine...
  13. CTR Rev Matching and Emissions Issues w/Check Engine light.

    So when my rev match system failed I was on the back straight of Watkins Glen it's about a 140+mph zone. Hard on the brakes. Two shifts down. The first one and second shift don't upset the car I was on the brakes enough to match the rpm. A few turns later I receive a huge jerk and upset to the...
  14. CTR Rev Matching and Emissions Issues w/Check Engine light.

    You couldn't break that motor if you wanted to. The wile bottom end is forged. Pistons rods crank. Your car is covered under warranty let the technicians figure it out. Trust me they want you to have your car as soon as possible. Each one of these type R's that malfunctions is a potential PR...
  15. Civic Type R at the track, goods and bads! Let's share our experience.

    I'm not sure I understand this question at all? Chips from rocks on the paint or on the intercooler/ radiator. Plus. Tracks with debris on it would not be safe. Rarely do I ever hear pings at a track. Mostly get smacked with OPR scuffs. But then again I have a whole frontal clear wrap. Fenders...
  16. lol

    For 2,000 dollars you could wheel locks made of titanium or even better unobtainium
  17. Civic Type R at the track, goods and bads! Let's share our experience.

    This is true as long as it isn't sanction competition you are covered by warranty. I'll be sure to grab some go pro footage for us if limp mode occurs again on track! If anything the car needs a tire upgrade at the start. Or a tire that will last longer on track. Everything else seems solid...
  18. Civic Type R at the track, goods and bads! Let's share our experience.

    I wish we had a better solution to this overheating issue. But so far I have not heard of anyone damaging anything too terrible. In terms of the motor. Only that many folks gets heat soak like crazy and lose their up hill climbing power. But it seems as though once it cools down you're all set...
  19. Civic Type R at the track, goods and bads! Let's share our experience.

    Front straight is about a 135-140mph top speed before entering turn one. All the turns after that 2-3 are areas where you lift then it's the bus stop so 140mph into the bust stop. So maybe front straight is 5th to 3rd maybe? The bus stop is sorta fast but other than those spots and the toe of...
