  1. Type R and golf R availability

    You are 100% correct. A Golf R with the DSG transmission will increase it's performance gap even more. With a simple APR stage 1 tune and DSG tune, the Golf R with the DSG transmission increases from stock 288hp to 370hp and can hit 60mph in 3.6 seconds blowing the Type R out of the water. The...
  2. How can Hyundai get it so right, and Honda so wrong?

    This guy is a real fan boy of the Type R, but we all know that no car is perfect, and he pretty well sums up the shortcomings of the 2017-18 Type R that have been addressed in the 2019's. Skip to minute 9:30.
  3. How can Hyundai get it so right, and Honda so wrong?

    Wrong again, Hyundai has an active exhaust on the Veloster N and it is selling for under $30K. You don't seem to get it at all, a sporty exhaust note gives you a much more exciting, visceral driving experience which is exactly what you want in a sports car. Since you are so much more into...
  4. How can Hyundai get it so right, and Honda so wrong?

    These guys are a hoot....and their Canadian EH!!!!!!!!!!!! Comparing the Veloster N with the Type R.
  5. How can Hyundai get it so right, and Honda so wrong?

    You have to be kidding right....the sound of a sports car means diddly? You have no f...ing idea what you are talking about. That's why all manufacturer of sports cars spend hours and hours fine tuning the exhaust notes of their cars....because it means diddly. Fool. The exhaust note is a huge...
  6. I never think about it then this day came

    Great color choice, and enjoy the real volume knob and other upgrades that come on the 19's.. Cheers.
  7. What did you do to your Type R today?

    If you don't want to risk coating your paint yourself, I highly recommend washing, then clay bar and finally using a paint sealant called Rejex. The great thing about Rejex is that it lasts much longer than regular car wax and sealants. Rejex can last as long as 6-8 months. I would put 2 coats...
  8. What did you do to your Type R today?

    That's a very good thing that water and dirt easily rinse off considering you live in Vancouver where it rains 8 months of the year. Now you can let mother nature clean your car every time it rains. Enjoy
  9. Engine Side Panels

    Any reason why the car didn't come like this from the factory??? Looks so much more complete.
  10. Civic Type R Range?

    Your mileage will also decrease with the temps falling coming into the winter season, nothing to do with your up coming oil change. Keep up with the spirited driving.;)
  11. I am sooooooooo glad I waited for the 2019 Type R.

    Aren't all you gents glad you waited for the 2019 model year after seeing the updates and upgrades? I mean it now comes with a real "VOLUME KNOB" and upgraded infotainment system, and some differences to the climate controls. I despise an on screen volume slider.....it's almost worth upgrading...
  12. Isn’t always Black and White!

    Just curious, what kind of hit can you expect to get on your insurance, as writing off $37,000 does not sit well with insurance companies.
  13. RIP #R15557 CW CTR

    Congrats on your new Type R. Make sure you hide the key well.
  14. Official Championship White Type R Picture Thread

    MonkeyConQueso, I see you live in Seattle, can you comment on how the Type R performs in the rainy, wet, slippery conditions? I'm asking because I'm moving near Vancouver BC which has similar conditions to Seattle.
  15. Evo magazine review, R takes the win

    What really surprised me the most was just how great the Type R did in the wet race track conditions. Usually you would think a high hp front wheel drive car would heavily understeer in wet, slippery conditions, however they never mentioned understeer at all. "When Dickie says, ‘If Porsche did a...
  16. Do any of you long time "Honda Vtec" lovers miss the old screamer engines?

    My friend, that's the beauty of it....there is no catch. It is one heck of a deal. There are many companies that operate out of Japan who buy these cars and ship them all over the world. You have to understand, many who live in Japan live in big cities and do not drive their cars much, that...
  17. Razi's Sonic Grey FK8 / Track Build

    Sonic is really starting to grow on me, but Honda got the name wrong, they really should have called it "Sonic Blue-Gray pearl" because in a lot of the pics it really looks more blue to me than gray. To me, these two pics look like 2 different cars, and two different colors. Enjoy.
  18. Do any of you long time "Honda Vtec" lovers miss the old screamer engines?

    If you lived in Canada, you could buy this one tomorrow. Looks in very good condition and only $10,667 USD, only 79,000 miles. Has that lovely 8,500rpm screaming redline. https://www.velocitycars.ca/vehicle/2001-Honda-Integra/13171?s=1
  19. Do any of you long time "Honda Vtec" lovers miss the old screamer engines?

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_Civic_Type_R The rules to import Japanese cars into the US are, they have to be 25 years old or older. I will be importing my car into Canada, where cars have to be only 15 years old. For one thing the Mugan RR is not a DC5, it is an FD2, and the FD2's will be...
