  1. Purchasing a 2021 CTR out of state questions

    I relied on the reputation of the dealership, the professional relationship established with the salesperson and lots of pictures which they shared with me before pickup.
  2. Purchasing a 2021 CTR out of state questions

    Hi, Sorry for the delay. I got mine from Wisconsin. Robert Billig at Zimrick Honda. Great guy and dealership. Made sure I didn't get a drilled bumper too. I also bought parts to do the spare tire retrofit at the same time which they put inside the car for delivery with the car. We completed...
  3. Purchasing a 2021 CTR out of state questions

    I've had it done two ways: for my CTR, the out of state dealer did not collect tax (their state or mine). When I got it to Texas and registered, then I paid the TX tax. For another recent truck purchase out of state, the dealer collected the TX tax. They were going to mail themselves but due...
  4. Purchasing a 2021 CTR out of state questions

    I can share my experience. I bought a 2019 CTR from an out of state dealer in late 2018. I did this because local Texas dealers were charging huge markups and the cars had long waiting lists. That's why out of state purchase is a good option. Complexity arises if you plan to finance. Some...
  5. No start after Hondata jailbreak

    Good to know things appeared to work after your initial install. Question 1-- since car started up fine after your first install, during your work to add the battery tray, did you remove or unlock any harnesses to the ECU? Maybe bad prong or harness not fully connected? Question 2-- have...
  6. Might be changing from 2018 Golf R to 2019 Type R

    I bought spare wheel and tire sets from folks selling theirs on this forum as insurance. I also got road hazard protection from Discount Tire. They cover your OEM tires. And, I did the spare tire kit retrofit. With small kids and road trips, there’s no way I’m waiting around for roadside...
  7. Might be changing from 2018 Golf R to 2019 Type R

    Hey Mjonesjr8, I’ve had three generations of Golf R models (R32, mk6 6mt and mk7 DSG). The 17 DSG replaced my mk6 that was flooded during hurricane Harvey. We still have the mk7 DSG. It is a super quick and super refined car, no doubt. And styling is conservative. But I knew civic type R was...
  8. 1600 miles, gear grinding a regular issue

    Ive been driving MT cars for many years. My last manual was a Golf R. With the CTR, I’ve had similar issues as OP happen a small number of times. I’ve chalked it up to user error and corrected my shifts. They all happened early (after break) in period when I was engaged in spirited driving...
  9. Official Aegean Blue Type R Picture Thread

    I saw a familiar blue pass by me in Tokyo. Turned my head and it was a blue type R. Took a quick pic. Someone is having as much as fun as I do on my commute to work back home!
  10. What did you do to your Type R today?

    Oh cool. There must be a thread on that. Sorry I missed it. Hope my note helps others.
  11. What did you do to your Type R today?

    Nothing too extravagant. Installed Slybrackets no-drill front mount plate holder and Mishimoto intake. Did anyone else installing an intake have a factory vacuum line worm clamp with no phillips or hex head? My factory one was like a rivet. Had to use precision needle nose pliers to grip...

    Can you post pics?
  14. Oem Wheels & Tires

    I am looking for 1 or 2 of them. Are you willing to ship? Any idea shipping cost to Texas?
  15. Tire Warranty

    Yesterday, I purchased a tire warranty from Discount Tire in Houston. Their plan provides a full replacement of the tire for factory defects or road hazard damage. Like others, I was concerned about the high cost of replacing tires on the CTR particular'y due to the risk of with driving on...
  16. Honda Civic Type-R Over sticker dealer naughty list.

    I feel your pain. There were times when I almost gave up. As a recent purchaser of a 2019 at MSRP, I would tell you don’t give up on the car— just look for a dealer that will work with you. I am Texas and my dealer was in Wisconsin. Found them on the “Nice” forum. I had been looking for CTR...
  17. For those with kids: cool child seat protector that matches the CTR

    +1 on the Lusso's. For my CTR, I got the same Lusso seat protectors and back of the seat protector/organizers. The fit and quality is great. I had the Brica's in my Golf R. They were stout. But the head rest strap wasn't long enough for the CTR because the CTR has a solid piece rear...
  18. Official Aegean Blue Type R Picture Thread

    HA! What interesting timing. I just picked up the car from having that done today. Was considering XPEL and Suntek. Went with XPEL for the entire front. They also covered the mirrors, door handle cavities and rear bumper surface where the hatch closes. Wasn't cheap. But from everything...
  19. CTR at (or below?!!) sticker NICE LIST!

    I got quotes from companies in this thread: https://www.civicx.com/threads/shipping-your-ctr.14236/#post-264328 I went with Mercury but you should shop around. Brokers have access to many drivers. Prices can vary based on timelines for pickup/delivery, region, etc. Also check reviews but...
  20. Remove front fake vents without taking the bumper off

    I think the OP of this thread was demonstrating how to remove these covers to access the factory horn and some other parts. The space behind them is tight and may not allow for any real advantage to the extent they are permanently removed or altered. Indeeed it could allow debris and weather...
