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

    Bronze wheels? This one was near Algonquin.
  2. When was the last time you saw another Civic Type R on the road...?

    Two FK8s today in the Chicago suburbs, one sonic grey and one championship white.
  3. Brake squealing with new brakes - what am I missing?

    Theyā€™ll probably be perfect for AutoX and good enough for track work.
  4. Brake squealing with new brakes - what am I missing?

    When I searched around for information about them, noise was one of the bigger complaints. I think I was able to find a post on here at one point that said they were noisier than OEM.
  5. Brake squealing with new brakes - what am I missing?

    Aren't the HP+ known to produce lots of noise if not used in high heat situations. The good thing about the HP+ is that they work very well over a wide range of temps which makes them good for street (if you can deal with the noise), autocross, and possibly light track use. It was on my radar...
  6. Fuel Pump Recall Now Available

    I'm at just over 100k miles and about to hit 6 years. But I did notice that my gas mileage has turned to shit in the past 6 or so months. I originally assumed the new plugs, valve lash adjustment, clutch, and new transmission would fix the issue, but that doesn't seem to be the case. I think...
  7. Anyone replace wheel bearings yet?

    If you have a jack, it's not difficult to diagnose. @REDRAGN gave a pretty good explanation of what to do.
  8. What did you do to your Type R today?

    Took this right before I left to hit the 100k mark and officially have no warranty left. Next up is a fuel pump (whenever Honda gets those) then possibly a tune of some kind.
  9. At what point should I be worried about 2nd gear grind, if ever?

    My transmission had about 100k miles on it before it got replaced under warranty. It was still functioning fine, but the grinds were really annoying. Approximately grinned once every 1500 or so miles. Doing the math that's like 60 or so grinds. Note that my 4th gear liked to pop out when I...
  10. Anyone replace wheel bearings yet?

    My driver's side was replaced at around 98k miles. Car veered left slightly constantly and I could feel slight vibration in the steering wheel when doing lane changes at speed (60+ MPH) but only while the wheel was slightly turned left (any more or less and there would be no vibration). I...
  11. NEW COBB Accessport for FK8 @ TSP!

    Really good timing for this. My car's extended warranty is just about to expire, so I was thinking of doing some sort of tune. More options never hurts I guess. I was likely going to drive up to King and have them do a tune or flash one onto my car.
  12. What did you do to your Type R today?

    Car back in the shop yesterday. Worn wheel bearing; I am really happy I purchased that extended warranty :p
  13. '20 shift knob in a '19 Type R

    It can be done, but it'll look weird with the black locking nut. If you wanted to do it so it looks proper, you'd want to do the shift knob, locking nut, and shift boot (Honda doesn't sell the collar alone). Note that the 2020+ locking nut and shift boot will have your shifter sit lower as...
  14. Calling All Higher Mileage CTR Owners

    So my 100k service was just plugs and valve adjustment. No clearing of carbon buildup to my knowledge. I also had my clutch done since my transmission was already getting pulled. I canā€™t test it currently since Iā€™m breaking in my clutch, but I feel like the car is more responsive. I did give my...
  15. What did you do to your Type R today?

    Iā€™m happy with the way mine is running. Once I learned the quirks I was fine with it. I have updated the firmware on mine a few times. There probably is another out for it, but meh. šŸ˜† Mine is in English as well which helps.
  16. What did you do to your Type R today?

    I don't remember which one I'm using, but I've had no real issues with it. The only quirk with mine is that if you go into reverse before it's fully connected it will crash and give you a black screen until you reset the infotainment system. I've also found it best not to touch the...
  17. Calling All Higher Mileage CTR Owners

    I had mine done at the dealership unfortunately, so I can't really give you an indy mechanic price. They charged me just under 500 though. From a 3rd party it should be about half that cost. I found a quote from JSR Engines in California that will do it for 288. Personally, I wouldn't buy...
  18. Calling All Higher Mileage CTR Owners

    I think I saw someone on Reddit post something similar this past week. The car is due for valve adjustment and spark plugs around the 100k mark (something to keep in mind at that mileage). Mine is currently sitting around 98k miles. I did notice a loss of power for the past 10k or so miles...
  19. What did you do to your Type R today?

    The issue with the grinding is reproduction. If you can prove it exists in a way that convinces them, then itā€™ll get warrantied. You need to also disprove driver error too. Those are the main hurdles. Personally Iā€™d go Honda for the warranty.
  20. What did you do to your Type R today?

    It's been a while since I posted on here. My car has been at the dealership for the past few weeks; I actually got it back yesterday... A few weeks ago I brought my car in for new tires and to have my second gear grind looked at since my extended warranty expires in 2k miles. Service advisor...
