  2. Selling/Sold my Blue Type R Today, follow up

    That is a tough spot to be in, I know what you are going through. Let me help you, you have three kids and are working full time and in school, it also sounds like you will have it parked outside. The R "is not" the right car if this is the case, you need reliable and the R won't even haul three...

    Certainly, Keep in mind these are my opinions and many will disagree The Type R is by far and away built to perform its a damn T-Rex between your legs and the SI is not even close to it. The R flat out rips the road apart and leaves you literally saying HOLY SHIT as you do it, pure male...

  5. Selling/Sold my Blue Type R Today, follow up

    imho no because as I have stated in the past, getting one of these right now at msrp is really rare, getting one at all is super hard. The new buyer was happy to pay what I asked. If they make a few changes in the years to come I will buy one, 1.Drop the tires to 19's. 2. Offer a slightly...

    No I paid 38 for it, and the new buyer paid 37,300 as I had to eat 700 for it being used to certify it Honda for them to resell back to him. However, I came out ahead because they sold me the SI for 2,000 under sticker and a warranty for 1.00 over cost. Honda World In Conway AR is the bomb! As...

    What are talking when you say Over rev? Like sitting in 2 or 3rd n hit 7-8k rpm for a long period of time?

    I drove the new STI, it is a lot better than the 17 version, the turbo delay is gone and it just feels better handling wise. They are just not moving off sticker at all for the Recaro version, I can wait.
  9. Si Sedan Underbody spoiler / lip kit

    Confirmed, I bought one today and red is the only option for the front, nothing avail for the rear and the sides are same color as the car. I wanted the kit but only in all black and with the rear black like they offer in touring. Honda tells me they might offer the all black soon, but then...

    I guess driving a Type R for 400 miles and being able to get my money back out if it was pretty good, but no, not a penny. I would say the stress I went through was at great cost. I literally feel relief getting it to another who really wanted it and then getting an SI for below sticker. Some of...
  11. Sport Mode

    This is the boat I find myself in, I don't know anything about this but have seen the videos and would love the extra, but I don't want to destroy my car.... Is this safe for just the time to time boost around town type driving? I will freeway this car 90% of the time
  12. Civic Si Pricing

    Did this spare fit in the trunk space? When I bought mine they told me it had a spare, we opened the trunk no spare so they pulled the spare off a fully loaded touring with 18's on it in showroom. This does not fit in the underneath trunk space so right now it just sitting on top. Thoughts?
  13. To Hondata Flash Pro or Not?

    I read all the threads here and watched as many videos as I could find and still don't get a real sense of risk. I would love to see how it changes things, but I'm told I can kiss warranty goodbye, if I'm only using it to zoom around town is it a high risk? I can't see myself ragging the car...
  14. Warranties...

    I would suggest the Tire and wheel just for the wheels alone, they are over 700.00 each to replace and a pothole could get 2 of them..... it's worth it.
  15. Selling/Sold my Blue Type R Today, follow up

    Had a guy fly in from NY to drive back from Arkansas, he was thrilled and I was thrilled for him. The car was not going to work as a daily for me, but the Civic impressed me so much I tore up the deal I had waiting on me for an 18 WRX STI and bought a brand new silver SI today. The SI is no R...
  16. Anyone swapped the 20's out yet?

    Just wondering how it looks, brand suggestions. I was looking at ENKEI 18 raijins with some super sport tires.
  17. What underwhelmed you, disappointed, or just shocked you?

    The car is beast but the exterior effects feel a little fragile, I am really concerned about long term durability. The trim and spoiler don't feel sturdy, a little flimsy and I do wonder how they will hold up. Maybe that is just how all these cars are made now, My Mazda speed 3 was very plastic...
  18. Company Employee pricing?

    Actually some will, I was told by the GM the day I bought mine. He was glad I was getting it because the employee in the shop was gonna take it for 1000 under sticker.
  19. Seats

    I'm 6'2 198lb I also have a couple discs messed up. I find the seats are poor for this condition, if I sit up very straight the bolstering fits well. The second I relax both sides of my rib cage are being jabbed by the bolstering. Maybe it breaks in, some much bigger folks liking them and...
