  1. 21 Yellow Type R on the way to me

    I'm 54, ready to retire at 55, and plan on driving my LE till I can't drive anymore!
  2. The Case Against and FOR the OEM 20 inch?

    I wanted to keep the OEM dimensions so went with 19x8.5 OEM FK2 wheels (5 years ago when they cost half what they do now). Just swapped over the 245/35/19 PS4S I first put on for some Continental SportContact 7 in the same size and the price is a lot better than any 20" options. You save about...
  3. RE-71RS or Cup 2 Connect for weekend only LE

    So the opposite problem to Michelin, was told there was stock of the Potenzas in Australia but none for a few months .... Got offered some SportContact 7s at a great price and looking at reviews they get rave reports for a UUHP tyre so have gone with those. They are 1.2kg less per tyre than the...
  4. RE-71RS or Cup 2 Connect for weekend only LE

    Quick update. Went to order the Cup 2 Connects and the current Australian stock is all 2+ years old. Seems they don't sell a lot and I'm not pay $2500 for tyres where I've lost 40% of their useful life. Ended up going to Bridgestone and got a sensational deal on some Potenza Sports, $950 for a...
  5. RE-71RS or Cup 2 Connect for weekend only LE

    I'm definitely leaning towards the Cup 2 Connect. Being a less sticky tyre compared to the RE-71RS did you find they flicked up less rocks? The OEM Cup 2s on the LE are stone magnets where the PS4S are fine. I guess I've already got the 19s that are the perfect "one minus" OEM fitment so will...
  6. RE-71RS or Cup 2 Connect for weekend only LE

    I've been running Michelin PS4S in 245/35/19 on a set of OEM 19x8.5 FK2 wheels that I kept from my previous MY18 FK8. Would love to run the BBS 20" all the time but where I live is pothole city so they only go on for special occasions. The PS4S are nearly 6 years old and feel as though they're...
  7. Steering wheel STILL off center

    I tried that but because it was reading as correct my attempts to realign did nothing. And there was no option to manually offset it by 2 degrees to make the steering wheel level.
  8. Steering wheel STILL off center

    With an Autel MD808
  9. Selling FK8 LE?

    For what an FL5 will cost you I'd keep the LE. You don't seem to be using it as a daily driver and it's just that bit different and more exclusive. Only if you need a daily driver, and finances dictate you can't have both, would I go for an FL5.
  10. Final type r production numbers

    Highest I've seen in Australia is 45741 which was on the last shipment we got that were sold in August/Sept 2021.
  11. Steering wheel STILL off center

    I've had the same with the two FK8s I've owned and this is what two different shops said. The steering column cover isn't straight so it gives the appearance of the wheel being off centre. The steering angle sensor shows my wheel is at the correct setting which is what matters.
  12. Civic Type R Limited Edition - paint code for gloss black roof?

    This would be be my guess too. The colour is exactly the same as the grill and rear wing.
  13. Civic Type R Limited Edition - paint code for gloss black roof?

    Having owned a CBP MY18 I can tell you it is definitely not CBP but I don't know the exact code. CBP has a noticeable pearl effect where the LE is a pure gloss black, closer to the colour of the regular Type R wheels. Also the roof isn't wrapped. All LEs came out of the paint shop yellow and...
  14. Actual Owner of 21 CTR vs 18 CTR

    I think a lot of it comes down to the different adaptive dampers and the revised suspension in the MY20 onwards. Going from a MY18 to a MY21 LE the LE feels slightly rawer due to the Cup 2 tyres and firmer than stock suspension (plus less sound deadening).
  15. 2021 Civic Type R Results @ Car and Driver Lightning Lap 2022 Competition

    Look no further than the lap record attempt by Honda Australia a few weeks ago at an FIA grade 2 circuit here in Australia with a professional race driver (currently driving a Honda in the Australian TCR series)...
  16. Fiesta ST owner

    I've had my i30N hatch for just over two years and have done about 8 track days. The thing is off the showroom floor you can do 60-80 laps in a day (4-5 hot laps at a time) between 2 drivers and it won't skip a beat. It's the perfect car for my son and I to do track days together and it comes...
  17. Fiesta ST owner

    Former FiST owner who now has an i30N hatch (same driveline as the Veloster N) and Type R. The Type R is the closest spiritually to the FiST ethos in that it's relatively light and very sharp on turn in. Although for a family car I'd look very closely at the Elantra N. It's 9/10 of the Type R...
  18. Who's running 19's? Post them up.

    From Tegiwa in the UK. Given I'm in Australia, and would have to pay freight anyway, after not finding anyone else selling them online I just went with Tegiwa who are usually good on price anyway.
  19. Is it safe to use 5-40w oil on FK8 Type R?

    I always thought the difference was that higher quality oils could protect better and resist wear when fuel dilution occurs, not that they can prevent fuel dilution itself? That's what Amsoil says here anyway https://amsoil.com.au/blog/what-is-fuel-dilution-in-engine-oil-and-why-is-it-bad/...
  20. How many Type R has been build??

    These are the complete numbers and colours for Australia. One of the smallest markets and some of our model years spanned multiple calendar years. But the percentages would be similar to other countries.
