Nothing gets damaged wringing out a cold engine. You'll consume a little oil because the pistons havent expanded yet so the tolerances are looser cold thats all. Stop overreacting
You cant fix stupid. If Honda put the turbo by the firewall like VW does with the Gti and Golf R, like Mitsubishi did with the Evo X,like Ford does with the Focus RS, like Renault does with the Megane , there wouldnt be this overheating problem
Honda doesnt have any lap records anymore. Renault Megane Trophy R took the nurbringing record too. Evo xi is supposed to be Megane platform derived so we'll get it soon here in the states
In hindsight i don't know if hondas have a grease gun nipple on the dustboot covering the ball joining the slave cylinder so remove the boot and smear grease on it so you didn't accidentally pump grease through the bleeder nipple . Better yet take it to the dealer
Is this a joke, not even the same class of vehicle even though the prices arent that far apart. Type r would be a downgrade in every way except for your familys comfort
