Houston here, let me know if you want me to help you once over the car. I've had two of them so could at least tell you it drives normal or not etc..
If not no worries just thought I'd offer since you're local and it's your first Type R -
Enjoy man nothing like it. And you have the perfect setup with the lighter wheels and Final Edition ADC module (active dampening control)
Best car ever, my second one. I'm 48 and this car is a joy and imo superior to the FL5 that follows. You got the best one. Cheers man!
Same thing happened with me - Had a 2019 then I took advantage of the insane prices for the market, sold it, immediately regretted it. Immediate thought was to wait for the next gen. At that time it hadn't released but the new Civic had. I went and sat in that thing and quickly thought 'oh...
If you're not driving it much, then drove it when really cold out, you could just be hearing things that were triggered by the cold ambient temperature. I wouldn't think that weather unless it was severe swings like -50 to +70 would impact how something like an endlink would operate.
I'd...
Honestly it sounds like you may need to check torque on your RMM having 'vibration def noticeable' is odd. Only times I feel it is -
- Not enough gas off the line - once used to it never hit that 'point'
- AC on and motionless - sometimes you'll hit a spot where it vibrates in that scenario...
Perrin RMM + some good plumbers O-Ring lube = very minimal to none NVH. It's when you go full RMM like a 27won that you start to wonder if you're going to lose a filling.
Best 30 buck spent imo
Doubt it I never see em for sale, and honestly with good reason. I will never switch back to stock every setting is improved.
Spring for it man, it's worth it.
Man use it every time you turn the car on. Traffic a breeze when you can just take your feet off everything. Brake hold is awesome 24/7 imo.
Every time I turn on car - seatbelt - parking brake - brake hold - drive off
It's so useful even on flatland to get leg rest.
You can just start it and end it and it will draw the track it may not load specific tracks, I don't know that for sure. But when I ran a track and turned it on I could set a start and end of that circuit then see details after running it. Play around with it in normal driving it's kinda neat.
