I've been in the "FL5 looks like an Accord with a wing on the back" group. I have changed my opinion after walking around the youngest kid's black one that just showed up at the dealer. The styling is subdued compared to our FK8's, but it is not taxi cab looking. Still aggressive looking but...

I have read most, if not all, on this subject in this part of the forum and I'm still confused. Run-what-u-brung parking lot AutoX. Stock(except RMM) with Falken 510 tires 245-35/20 on OEM rims. I get the 30 vs 35 sidewall load rating deal suggesting lower tire pressures. I get the stiffer...

Forbes Wheels Best Cars for 2021 12. Honda Civic Type R – Sports/Performance Honda’s Civic Si first got noticed by enthusiasts in the 1980s, and aftermarket tuners began souping them up in real numbers a decade later. Honda noticed, and created the first Civic Type R, a hot-rodded lightweight...

History: 2019 CTR stock except Falken FK510 with 35 sidewall installed after first AutoX last month. The previous Conti all seasons sucked at AutoX! This is NOT SCCA, but a local British car club that does AutoX once per month in a high school parking lot. There are no classes just run what you...

Today was oil change time, it was too hot and I was too lazy so I took it to the dealer Express Service. Everything seemed well until I got home and reviewed the paperwork prior to filing and found: "HS301R Vehicle has an open recall (20-008 for driver's airbag inflator), parts will not be...

Did my first AutoX this past weekend(for me and the Type R) and found it to be fun. It was a NON-SCCA event so restrictions don't apply. I have the OEM 20" wheels with Conti AS tires with a 35 profile. Needless to say that setup is pretty worthless even for a rookie! I have searched a lot...

Played with the screen and reviewed the owners manual. No luck. I got the pre-reminder "B7 due soon" code. Checked when due and still have 15% life left. Problem is this tattle-tale is stuck right in the middle of my driver display. Is there any way to remove that without reporting the service...

2019 purchased new on 2-27-19. Now has just short of 4,000 miles. Used primarily as a grocery getter/errand runner in town. I am a (ahem) "mature" driver and do not go out on weekends carving canyons, because...well we don't have canyons around here. So today I go out and start the car and get...

At the dealer buying a couple of those screws that go in the front of the lower engine cover(you know the ones you remove when you change the oil that requires that weird azz tool to tighten) and noticed a CTR on the showroom floor. Asked a salesperson what was the deal. Car is a 2019, black...

What's up with the turning radius on our cars? I've got a sideload double garage with narrow swing area and have to cut close to the edge of the double garage to not hit the other car parked in the right hand space. In a car with a more copious turn radius I could drive to the opening and crank...

Did anybody else get the email from Honda asking questions about pre 2020 Type Rs? I did and it seemed to be pushing the alcantara steering wheel. They asked if I like it answer NO. They asked what about if it was available for $500 answer NO. What about if it was available for $350 answer NO...

Yes...yes it does! Today's story: Headed to a store this morning approximately 08:00 on a three lane street(one lane each way and a center left turn lane). While approaching a driveway from a business on my right I see a dickhead cutting through the parking lot to avoid stopping at the...

Ok did oil and filter today. It was past due a few miles...Thanks Covid! When I tried to reset oil minder by following the book on page 125. So at the point of "use the up or down arrows to select a maintenance item..." everything went stupid! On using the arrows the display kept saying "Power...

Ok so nothing in the owners manual that I can find so asked Mr Google. I now understand what it does. My question is why does it make FM radio classic rock music sound like dog crap?! Just a couple of days ago I turned it off because the sound sucked so much. Voilà problem solved. Give me...

2019 Type R 1,500 miles. I can break the tires loose in the first three gears at will. I know...I know...hp, torque and boost. But come on it's like driving on a dirt track! In addition, drove on the freeway yesterday for about 50 miles. Temperatures were in lower 60's so not a "it's too cold...

Are you on here?

So while waiting for my food order near a quik type shop. Dude pulls in driving a 2019 CW Type R with out of state plates. He gets out and goes inside. I notice he has Borla exhaust. Had a nice chat with him when he came back out. Pleasant fellow. Start-up sounds great... burbly and all...

I swear the last few times I drove with the A/C on the exhaust sound was a little more "throaty" as I accelerated through the gears and back down. I am suffering from a hearing issue or what? I understand that running the A/C puts an additional load on the engine. I also note that my car hardy...

Interesting fact: I bought a spare tire kit from Honda for my Type R cause I don't trust the 20" rubber band tires and don't want to wait for a flat bed in case of a flat. Almost $400 and not one freaking instruction!! I have one question: How the hell do you remove the standard trunk cover...
