  1. Cushion for the passenger seat to elevate the passenger (and make getting in/out easier)?

    Hi everyone, odd request here. My mom is in town for a bit and it's difficult for her to get in/out of the CTR due to the seat bolster. I'm thinking I could get some sort of seat cushion that'd fit the passenger seat and elevate her so she doesn't have to deal with climbing over the bolster...
  2. Add me to the list of folks cursing at the parking brake...

    Changed the rear pads and rotors on my 2019 CTR last night. Used the Autel to put in maintenance mode, ran through all the steps necessary to swap the pads/rotors. Took it out of maintenance mode, flipped the e-brake back and forth a few times to test, bolted the wheels on and took it out. On...
  3. Where to get / how to repair pinstripe?

    Curbed my front lip a month or so back, I'd like to repair the pinstripe. I found P/N 71194-TV8-E01 online, but I can only find it for sale overseas. I don't need to pinstripe the whole thing, just where the damage is. I was thinking I might be able to do it with (don't judge me dang it)...
  4. First road trip in my CTR...

    Had to make a run from NY to GA so I could return some clam chowder some tall guy and his son at the fairgrounds... (bonus points if you get the reference).... 900 mile overnight drive. Seats are surprisingly comfortable, which was both good and bad (great for a nap...and microsleep). In...
  5. Just pebbles in the brakes they said...

    Hit the 'pebbles in the brakes' issue in my 2019 CTR recently. Pull the wheels, pressed on the heat shield, some pebbles dropped out. Turned the hub, no noise now, figured I was safe. Then the real noise began. Every single left turn.... SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEECH. Any time I...
  6. What's your experience with other Civic drivers while driving your CTR?

    Since I got my CTR I've been used to seeing other Civic drivers checking out my CTR on the road, I get a kick out of it most of the time. Even other STI/Focus ST/Etc are pretty cool about it, mutual wave and a smile, etc... Had this one gent though in what I believe may have been an Si sedan...
  7. A brief moment of silence for one of my favorite driving spots...

    Route 97 North/South through the Hawks Nest outside Port Jervis, NY now has a 35mph speed limit. It used to be 55mph, but occasionally some folks would overestimate their skills on their bike or in their car and bin it. Thankfully it opens back up to 55mph with minimal exception, which...
  8. Anyone have their A/C die?

    2019 CTR, 4k miles, I think the A/C just died. Was fine when I left the house, made two quick stops before heading to my dad's, and that was when it just wasn't blowing cold at all. I'm on mobile so I haven't done any searches yet (apologies if there's an obvious thread I'm missing). The...
  9. XPEL Stealth on my '19 CTR?

    While I am enjoying the weekly washing of my black CTR, some UFO grazed the lower drivers door between the wash Sunday morning and this morning I've got some new scratches. So while I'm planning to teach myself how to fix these scratches (going to test on my old Chevy first) a friend suggested...
  10. Only took 40 years but I finally figured out how to wash a car...

    My CTR has been a mess since I got it from the dealer, it already had swirls and scratches. I've hand washed it a few times but it didn't quite cut it. Finally invested in some good supplies and managed to clear up most of my complaints - water spots, swirls, etc... I got everything I needed...
  11. *bows head in shame* Wood glue on the passenger seat.

    In light of current events I'm catching up on some home improvement projects, I picked up some wood glue and epoxy for one of them, and apparently the wood glue cap was open. I get home, see some has spilled on the seat (about the size of a nickel) and proceed to shriek, run into the house for...
  12. I Love Comfort Mode.

    Maybe I'm showing my age here, I've got roughly 1500 miles on my CTR at the moment... have done some exceptionally silly things in both Sport and R mode that left me giggling... but to be honest I expect to do exceptionally silly things in this car that leave me smiling. What stands out to me...
  13. $1.2 million for a Dinka Sugoi? Talk about markup...

    Hopped onto GTA V Online tonight and they've got a Type-R knockoff... Actually looks pretty sweet. Debating whether to get the money via crime, or microtransaction (which is a crime)... https://www.rockstargames.com/newswire/article/61390/Introducing-the-All-New-Dinka-Sugoi
  14. Well, !@#$. Only took me a week to bend a wheel.

    With 100 miles on the car I replaced the stock wheels/tires with 19" Motegi's and Continentals. Did my best to avoid a pothole last week but while washing the car today I discovered that my deft maneuvering was inadequate. TireRack's road hazard coverage only covers the tires. The tire is...
  15. Downsized to 19", best PSI?

    I just replaced my stock 20's with 19" Motegi MR924's and Continental DWS 06. I went from 245/30ZR20 (90Y) XL to2 45/35ZR19 (93Y) XL. At factory PSI (35), road feel felt reduced and the car felt like it was floating. I increased to 38, same deal. At 32, there was more road feel. I could be...
  16. Should be getting my new wheels/tires today... jacking question.

    I've no issue jacking the car up using the lift points, done it a million times (ok, thats an exaggeration). Question here is in regard clearing the side skirts. I felt under the car and it feels like clearance is adequate for a scissor jack to the pinch weld. Other thought was a low profile...
  17. Need inexpensive wheel advice for snow tires on my new 2019.

    Just picked up my 2019 Type-R today, winter isn't exactly over here in NY and I'd like to be able to drive the car in less than perfect situations. Ideally I'm leaning towards Pirelli Winter Sottozero 3 235/45R18 with Sport Edition P5 (TireRack). The wheels are 18x8 with a 42mm offset. The...
  18. Possibly trading up to a 2019 Type-R

    Got my sights set on a crystal black pearl Type-R. Currently have an Si that I'm quite happy with but I made the mistake of sitting in the Type-R and well... Talk me out of it, please! Seems to be an improvement in every way over my Si (despite needing to either immediately put all-seasons on...
  19. Remove poison ivy oils from my driver's seat?

    I did some volunteer work last week which involved heavy weed trimming, so I was pretty much coated in the stuff. Guessing some found its way to my driver's seat. Most soaps will break up the oil, I'm just looking for a good option to clean the seat in the car without risking any damage to the...
