Up for sale is my 2019 Sonic Grey Pearl Type R. I’m in the midst of a career change, and won’t need the Type R or my other cars so I’m in the process of consolidating. I’m located in Indiana and can assist with shipping. Car has never been in an accident, no dings, or dents. Car has always been...
I mean, do you live in an area where you would be scared of someone stealing your wheels? Is your car secured at night? Me personally, on all my cars I’ve never felt the need for wheel locks.
If not your daily driver, I would just run stock wheels, and stick NT01 on the 18x9.5 for the track. But if that is an issue I would go Hankook RS-4. We use them for enduro. They wear like iron, and only a second or two off pace of a Re71r.
If you are going to track it I would get a ND2 Miata. That’s going to be my next purchase. Throw on some Ohlins, Essex AP BBK, little other things here and there.
I have a Milltek Race (unresonanted) Exhaust. From the outside it sounds good, from the inside you can’t really hear much. That is if you want to stay with stock downpipe like me. It’s deep sound and burbles on shifts. It doesn’t drone.
I have a Milltek Race Exhaust (no resonators) with stock downpipe, Carbon tips. I really like the sound on stock downpipe. It’s deep, and has burbles when shifting occasionally. When I go catless downpipe I’ll put a front resonantor on.
I would buy it in the Midwest. When I was searching I called up 3 dealers and told them I have cash ready, I can buy today, they were all over MSRP within the span of 6 hours they all caved in and accepted my MSRP offer. The dealerni chose actually took $500 off.
Not sure if it’s me being overly sensitive since the car has 450 miles, but has anyone noticed 3rd gear in their Type R being a little more jerky compared to other gears as far as off throttle and on throttle behavior?
Example.
If I’m at 3000-3500 rpm in third and let off the throttle and it...
Not sure if these are the same color as the Honda Japan ones, but based off pictures the color seems the same. These are the ones marked towards the civic, not the Type R, but they fit the Type R 100%. The ones not from japan are made in Taiwan.
I would wait and see what else Varis comes out with. The Varis one is just a splitter for the stock style OEM lip. I like EVS, but if you are a JDM/brand guy I don’t think the Varis splitter is distinct enough to pay $1000+ for.
It honestly depends how much you will actually track. And what your goals are. If you like the 20” wheels, or want to keep the car as true from factory as possible and you aren’t going to be doing a lot of lapping days or just going out there to have fun then go for better tires on the stock 20”...
