  1. Official Aegean Blue Type R Picture Thread

    This thread needs an update :)
  2. D-Street Type R AutoX info sharing

    Terrible weather in Charlotte on Saturday but I took a DS win against a '16 Focus RS on RE-71Rs and and two modern turbo 4 "muscle" cars. The Focus driver managed to spin in his last two runs that were a less wet than the first 3, so I'm not sure it means a whole lot. My car is completely...
  3. Rev Match and Drive modes usage.

    I turned rev matching off as soon as I could. Only turned it on once for my dad so he could see what it does, otherwise it's been off. I mostly use Comfort mode because I just assume it's better on gas, only switching to +R when I actually want to drive. I never use Sport.
  4. Do you consider the Civic Hatchback(not Type R) to be a hot hatch?

    Eh, the Sport might be a "warm" hatch. But not the lower models.
  5. Top Gear - Chris Harris: CTR vs LC500 full video

    This, this, this. Why even bother? Two excellent cars that acheive their design goals. Neither is "better" than the other.
  6. Civic Type R at the track, goods and bads! Let's share our experience.

    I just finished a weekend with 4 sessions at Roebling Road Raceway. I don't get a full weekend's worth of sessions because I work timing and scoring for my National Auto Sport Association region and those responsibilities take priority over my own track time. I have done nothing to my car...
  7. Question about ordering a CTR

    Just hit Autotrader and eBay and start calling dealers all over the country. You'll find one in the color you want at a reasonable price. They are all the same except for color so it's not like you're hunting for a specific configuration.
  8. Mugen Civic Type R Concept RC20GT!

    I guess they're targeting people looking into the S3?
  9. Lots of features other countries get.....not North America.

    I would not have bought my car if it had lane keep assist, lane departure warning, or any sort of automatic braking that could come on while moving. Perhaps I'm not the only one?
  10. Do smart phones listen to conversations?

    Yes. Specifically with iOS (probably Android too), if you give an app microphone permission it can "listen" while the app is backgrounded. But you can completely revoke an app's microphone access in Settings. It's not Apple that's listening. It's Facebook or Snapchat or whatever app has...
  11. Now This Is Interesting.....

    I'm not a scientist, but I don't trust anyone who tries to tell me that ripping lithium out of the ground for batteries and producing a car that still emits CO2 is better for the environment than a comparable purely ICE powered car with a modern motor not tuned for performance. And I'm going to...
  12. What did you do to your Type R today?

    Looked at the cover it's sitting under. Damn weather.
  13. What kind of car did you come from and how does it compare?

    I've had a lot of different vehicles, but the last sporty street car I had was a 2016 Miata Club. I'll just paste what I said about it earlier in another thread.
  14. Are there any pros to keeping stock wheels/tires?

    The tire sidewall is effectively part of the car's suspension. It's sprung for the OEM tire size, so to maintain the same ride you would have to change other parts of the suspension or else car will be softer. It won't hurt anything to just put smaller wheels on though.
  15. Careful with the wheels...

    Seems like an 18 would soften the car up significantly, which would be a dealbreaker for me. Can anyone say if it makes a big different? Even with track focused tires, the ride on a Boxster I owned changed significantly when going from a 17" to an 18" and back.
  16. Careful with the wheels...

    I haven't haf an EP since 2013 or 2014. It was a white 2005 Si, bone stock.
  17. Careful with the wheels...

    I wouldn't be happy with that. I have seen some shady wheel repairs and don't know of anywhere I would trust to repair them.
  18. Careful with the wheels...

    Surely I'm not the first person to post something like this, nor should I be the last, but I figured I'd add my story... Last week, I was travelling southbound on US 25 in South Carolina just north of Traveler's Rest, which is near Greenville. The northbound direction had one lane blocked...
