  1. Transmission leak revisited…

    This is a 2019 CTR with a little over 11,000 miles on it. Since my first oil change, I noticed that there was oil dripping between the engine and transmission. Removal of the inspection cover showed oil inside the transmission bell housing. I brought it into the dealer and they concluded it was...

  3. Throttle House new Type R video

    I posted this on the Civic XI site but thought I would post it here as well as they compare the FL5 to the FK8 and in a straight line the FK8 is faster surprisingly. The FL5 looks great! From a dig and on the track there are more influences from the driver and tires imo but from a roll there’s...
  4. Oil leak, rear main seal? Tranny seal?

    Hi guys, was doing an oil change ans noticed a little oil last oil change but today it’s worse. Looks like it’s coming from where the engine and tranny meet. Anyone hear of any issues like this? Sorry for the dark pics. Was dark when I was working on the car. 2019 Type R with 6,600 miles...

  6. Type R tire vs 1991 NSX tire

    Was swapping out my summmer tires to snows and found an old tire in my garage and took some pics comparing them. The old tire is an actual NSX front tire from an early NSX. I used to work at Acura of Boston and I had an old Integra. A customer needed the rear tires changed at like 11,000...
  7. Steering wheel locks

    Hi everyone! I know that steering wheel locks are not the best way to prevent someone from stealing your car. I have seen the videos where people are using tools to break them off, cut the steering wheel or to pick them open. But for me it just adds an easy extra layer of protection. Later on...
  8. 1/32 diecast Civic Type R

    Just got this off eBay for about $21. There are cheaper ones out there but they may not come with batteries and come from China so a long shipping time. This one was from the US and took less than a week to get to me and includes batteries. -1/32 scale, about 6” long -pullback forward motion...
  9. Stray RF signal from key fob and your car being stolen

    Hi everyone! A friend sent me this video last week. Maybe I’m paranoid but the possibility of your car getting stolen from stray RF signals coming from your key fob is a possible reality. In this video, the gentleman speaks of using a Faraday pouch. He also has some good background...

  11. Blue CTR with white wheels at Cape Cod this weekend?

    Just curious, was at the rotary after the Bourne bridge on Friday evening around 7:30pm in Bourne, MA and saw a blue CTR with white rims. Was it anyone on this forum? Just curious. CTR was pulled over maybe getting gas?
  12. Dream time: Would the Type R be faster with an automatic?

    Just kind of curious what people think and get some arm chair quarterbacking going. I know that for many the Type R through all the versions have the “soul” of the Type R, one factor being a manual transmission. That brings in variability as far as 0-60mph times making it up to driver skill...
  13. Radio Control car/ RC FK8 body...sort of...

    Hi everyone! (FINISHED CAR AT POST #80!) Dunno if anyone else is into RC cars. I was looking for an FK8 style RC car and couldn’t find anything but ran into a non licensed body that looks very much like a FK8. It’s made by Bittydesign and called the HC-F If you look at the hood it has vents...
