Check to make sure the suspension spacers were taken out - only the Type R has them (not any other current Honda products) so the dealers miss them a lot of the time during the PDI. They are orange and will be near the top of your front suspension coils only. There are installed for the...

Aaaaand it's gone! Thanks everyone. Ended up selling locally.

In my experience there is no single brand that does everything the best or even well. In fact I don't think I use the same brand of product for any two tasks. In some cases, like with iron removers, most of the products are actually the exact same just with varying amounts of active...

I didn't realize you already had a coating, but if you don't then the Graphene stuff I mentioned is great for base coat + rinse aid / refreshes. If you already have a ceramic coating, use a similar product to refresh it. You can put graphene on top of ceramic as well, shouldn't be an issue, it...

I think one thing that might be getting overlooked is the maintenance side of a ceramic coating. If you pay for a fancy expensive coating, it will only perform like you are expecting (and as advertised) if you take extremely good care of it- that means decontaminating it regularly and boosting...

I think this thread might be helpful for you: https://www.civicx.com/forum/threads/ceramic-coating-quote.64023/ The short answer is don't pay someone to apply it (unless you just don't want to do it yourself) because over-the-counter products have improved so dramatically over the last few...

I believe the USA has them on MY2020 and newer - same as Canada (2017-2019 did not have them). If you don't like them you can either reduce their sensitivity or disable them altogether. In my case, it without a doubt prevented an accident. I think what usually annoys people is lane departure...

Correct - it was a paddle shift (single clutch though). Not a very good transmission unless you're on a track, but I suppose that is the point. It sounded great, but what I was not expecting was how barebones it was - it felt like I was driving a shell of a car. A neat experience to have but...

I had a somewhat similar experience - I tracked the FK8 CTR back to back with a Ferrari F430 F1 (older but still pretty cool). The Ferrari was very underwhelming (other than the sound), but to be fair it was 10+ years old. The CTR was a lot more fun to drive and put up better lap times. The...

I am in Alberta so we get way worse winters than you get in Vancouver so I went with 18" but 225's. On dry days I wish I went with 240's, but on the really bad says the 225's should be better. As for tires I went with Michelin PA4's which are pretty well the benchmark performance winter tire...

Question for you guys moving down to 18's with summer/performance tires - do you notice much of a difference with the extra side wall in terms of handling? Does the car feel more squirrely with the extra sidewall flex? Or is it not even noticeable? I will probably move down to 18's or 19's...

Best of luck to you. If it isn't too good to be true with a catch, you essentially won a mini lottery. I'm rooting for you, but I find it incredibly hard to believe there isn't a big catch or some kind of mistake due to how desirable those cars are and how many people would be begging the...

I don't think that will deter many buyers. If you're really worried about it, covered shipping probably won't cost you more than $1000. Scenario 1 - your wife likes the car, and you keep it and enjoy it Scenario 2- your wife likes money more than she likes the car, you sell it for a fat...

I actually think it's a bargain and that was the main reason I bought mine. The CTR offers: - Perfect mix of basic daily usability + performance (seats 4 adults comfortably, big hatch, performance is well documented). No issues whatsoever in Canadian winters with proper tires and driving...

Buy it anyway, and if the wife doesn't like it, sell it for a profit and get a regular R. If you can truly get a brand new LE at MSRP with no catches (like ridiculous financing, mandatory full protection packages, none of that BS) just buy it anyway and worst case scenario you will make money.

I am not familiar with this particular story, but it very much looks to me like it hit something like a pole, which concentrates a ton of energy into one very small area and acts like a knife. Could have been excessive speed involved as well. In that instance, it's not uncommon for vehicles to...

BMBLBEE That's what they look like to me haha.

If you put the Turtle Wax Ceramic products on prepped paint (very easy to do yourself, especially if you don't actually need polish correction) they perform exactly the same as a professional coating, and are a lot less effort and less expensive to maintain over time. If you don't want to do...

If you guys like really slick paint, try a Graphene coating - they are even slicker than ceramic. They also dissipate heat better if you live in a warm climate, and are better at preventing dust from sticking to the paint. No need to pay for the really fancy stuff, the ingredients in most...

I would guess "curbing" is not covered since that is probably the single most common damage found on the average vehicle along with door dings during normal use. I realize your situation was a bit different and you were avoiding a more serious accident, but I'd be surprised if they saw it the...
