  1. When was the last time you saw another Civic Type R on the road...?

    I saw a Championship White and 2 Red ones today on the drive from NC to PA. Didn't see any on the way down, nor while I was there for a week. I haven't seen one of the new ones yet...
  2. How are our 10th gen Si owners feeling now?

    Well, if the 'pandemic' did one good thing - it was to blow up the car industry. I got within $800 of what I paid for my '17 Si in '21. That was half the price of the Type R, so my payment on the '21 CTR is less than the payment I had on the Si. I couldn't say no. I loved the back end of...
  3. How are our 10th gen Si owners feeling now?

    The coupe is what brought me to the 10th gen Si and I would still own it today (until the wheels fall off) if I hadn't had the opportunity to get a 10th gen Type R. I hate what they have done to both the 11th gen Si and Type R, and from what I'm seeing...the feeling is the same for a lot of...
  4. Infotainment Failure

    I got them to replace my head unit a while back. It had the newer firmware. So far, it has been much more pleasant, and if it does screw up, a reboot resolves it A far cry from what it had been doing. Good luck. I don't know why they can't just issue a FW update....if they have to replace...
  5. Infotainment Crashing

    It's the main chassis ground where the negative battery terminal grounds to the car - follow the cable.
  6. Don’t forget those engine air filters!

    It doesn't bother/affect me, as it only happens when changing that filter - otherwise, it works like it should. I just thought it was weird.
  7. Don’t forget those engine air filters!

    That is correct - falls on to the floor. It's on a hinge, but it doesn't stay attached. The Si never did that...nor do I think this one should. I think the dealer just didn't want to get me a replacement.
  8. Don’t forget those engine air filters!

    LOL....noooooo.... I do have a question, however, that I think I already know the answer to. When you 'drop' the glovebox to access the cabin filter - the glovebox door should remain hanging there, correct? It did on both my Si, but the Type R it falls on the floor... The dealer told me...
  9. Don’t forget those engine air filters!

    Yeah...the ones the stealership charges around $100+ to change. What a ripoff - it takes like 2 min. I'm not mechanically inclined but even I can do that task.
  10. Infotainment Failure

    I still have the occasional, easily fixed, glitch. All in all, still glad I had it replaced. I just wish they could get their 💩 together and FIX it.
  11. When was the last time you saw another Civic Type R on the road...?

    Last week I saw one all wrapped in advertising, and 5 min later, a Red one. Prior to that, it had been quite a while. I never get waves - back in the old days, when I had a '66 Mustang, other Mustang drivers would wave, and when I'm on the Goldwing, almost all other bikers wave - except some of...
  12. Brake recall?

    Not sure if this affects CTR or just normal Civics and/or Si, but you may want to check your production date and then check into it... https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2023/RCLRPT-23V458-1736.PDF
  13. Satellite- how to disable

    Why do you want to disable it? Worried about being 'tracked'? Leave your cell phone at home...
  14. What this dealer wanted for an FL5!

    Not necessarily true...that's what I thought, but fate smiled upon me in '21. I had a '17 Si Coupe - the dealer gave me all but about $400 of what I paid for it when I traded on the CTR. My payment for the CTR is less than what the Si was :) Keep the faith.
  15. What this dealer wanted for an FL5!

    Yeah...that's like saying 'Here's 5 reasons you should buy a 2024 Corvette Z06 over a 1965 VW Bug'....price wise anyway
  16. What this dealer wanted for an FL5!

    LOL 'back then, they were "mass-produced" ' Sales people... I bought my '21 R at MSRP, and if that dealer had a '23...it would be MSRP,as well...they don't jack up prices...
  17. Is a low R# worth more

    There is a comment somewhere in this vast site, whereby someone knew someone at Honda and the plates were basically in a bucket and the person working on assembly would reach in and grab one - not in numerical order. The amount of factual basis in that is probably up for debate...but...
  18. Two days ago I bought a 18’ CTR cleantitle with 103k miles, drives like new, no issues at all. Any advice? Anything I Need to know about FK8 Type R’s

  19. Two days ago I bought a 18’ CTR cleantitle with 103k miles, drives like new, no issues at all. Any advice? Anything I Need to know about FK8 Type R’s

    If you're buying HondaCare extended warranty - go through Hyannis Honda - they sell them at cost - substantially less than most stealerships offer them for.
  20. Two days ago I bought a 18’ CTR cleantitle with 103k miles, drives like new, no issues at all. Any advice? Anything I Need to know about FK8 Type R’s

    According to this...they can have either type, so it's a crapshoot: I haven't modded mine...not even Honda Hack...I also never have the stealership do the servicing unless it's warranty work. I have a mechanic who's a tad less expensive than Honda...
