  1. Anyone had an 8th/9th gen Si?

    I'm looking at cheapish manual cars for a second car and was wondering if anyone had a 9th gen Si. I had a 2013 LX previously so I know the 9th gen platform very well. Does anyone have any impressions on what it's like? Shifting wise? I want the old N/A Honda experience with the k24 where you...
  2. Nearly 4 months since I sold my CTR... thoughts/reflections

    As most of you know, I got rid of my CTR about 4 months ago due to various reasons and traded it in on a 2017 Mazda3 hatchback. Well, I just wanted to take some time to reflect on the experience and what it's been like without it. First, to get the biggest question out of the way... I...

  4. Anyone taking the time to head outdoors for fall foliage?

    I’ve been wanting to do this for so long, but I finally did it last week. I always wanted to go and see the spectacular fall colors around me and I was able to do it, and get in some good hiking and photo opportunities as well. As much as I wish I could have had my CTR in these photos, the Mazda...
  5. 2021 Civic Sedan axes manual option

    https://www.roadandtrack.com/news/a34395130/honda-civic-sedan-loses-manual-option/ Sorry, guys. I'm guessing the 6MT non sport Hatch/Si/Type R drivers preferred CVTs.
  6. Already dealing with damage on my car, best way to fix?

    Long story short, sometime over the weekend someone tapped me, didn’t leave a note because they are a royal fucking asshole, and my 2 1/2 week old car has some battlefield scars. Thankfully it’s really minor. Just some light paint transfer it seems and minor scratches. No dents or missing clips...

  9. I guess the [used] Type R market MUST be hot

    I noticed my 2018 Civic Type R was up for sale at the dealer I purchased the Mazda from about 4 days ago. I looked back yesterday and it was gone. I wondered if someone already bought it. My salesman actually told me today that someone did buy it on Monday, so congrats to that person! The...
  10. Today was a hard day...

    ...but I did it, guys! I said I was gonna trade my car in for something more docile since my needs have changed, and I did just that today. Leading up to this moment I had a lot of anxiety and worries that I was making a mistake. Then I started to realize I was overthinking everything, and that...

Some of you may have been able to figure that out, but yes, this time it's true. I do plan on taking advantage of the trade in values to get something more tame to save money...
  12. 2018 CTR vs 2017 Mazda 3 Grand Touring Hatch 6AT

    I got the privilege of driving a Mazda 3 hatch GT with the automatic today. I'm considering trading my Type R in for a new car, mainly because as much as I love it I want something a little more comfortable, more easy to live with right now. I'm also looking to save a lot of money to buy a house...
  13. Intermittent 3rd Gear Issues

    The past few times I've driven my car I'm noticing 3rd gear is acting up more than usual. Usually when I go to shift into 3rd gear, it just slots right in with an almost arcade feel. However, about 40% of the time when I go to shift into 3rd I am pushing through what feels like a lot of pressure...
  14. Approaching 30K miles - what maintenance do I need?

    I couldn't find any service intervals in the manual, so I'm hoping you guys can shed some light. I'm about 500 miles from 30K miles on my CTR. It hasn't had service for... honestly I can't remember when, it was before the pandemic lockdowns, so maybe January/February? I dunno, point is, it...
  15. My severe anxiety is making me dislike driving my car

    A few days ago I was diagnosed with illness anxiety disorder and panic disorder. For those who don’t know, illness anxiety disorder is when someone has severe anxiety about the symptoms they are exhibiting and they fear they are far more serious than they are. It came from me being sick last...
  16. Looks like CarAndDriver found out about the Type R overheating issues first hand

    https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/a28115797/2019-honda-civic-type-r-reliability-maintenance/ They noted that Focus RS and GolfRs running alongside did not run into this issue.

  17. Stuck at home for a bit...

    Well CivicX family this has definitely not been my week. I first started to feel ill last Saturday night, but I would’ve been content with those feelings had I known what was coming. Saturday I started feeling flu like illness late at night that progressed into Sunday. I just felt tired and had...
  18. Has anyone made these seats more comfortable for long duration trips?

    About a year ago, I had issues with feet and leg pain culminating to back pain when driving this car. The good news is, the leg pain has mostly subsided - the back pain however remains a real issue. While the CTR seats work very well for short term trips for me, whenever I start going on 3+...
  19. Interior rattles loudly at speed...

    My interior is rattling a LOT out of nowhere when I'm just driving. It seems to be made worse as RPMs increase. These aren't just creaks and rattles of the common kind, there is something vibrating in the area of the dashboard, or above it. I put my hand against so many things to see if it would...
  20. Tuning Questions

    After owning my CTR for over 2 years, I think that I am looking to spice it up a little. After reading numerous other CTR owners' experience on tuning, I think I want to tune my car. Yeah, the warranty might go bye bye, but as far as I'm concerned, I'm not going to be going balls to the wall...
