  1. PEEFREE's Civic Type R FK8 Build thread - Track / Street

    That is a very serious roll cage, nice job :thumbsup:
  2. Yet anther set of tires ruined at the track...

    Matches my experience, but I got 8 trackdays and 10k miles out of these MP4S tyres, only a couple of really brutal tracks in those 8.
  3. bluetooth phone pops up every time i start the car

    I have had it happen on mine from time to time and just went to the audio directly from the home screen with the "soft button" at the top left of the screen.
  4. bluetooth phone pops up every time i start the car

    So once you select the home screen and then audio that works OK until you turn off and back on again?

    Off loading the excess oil heat into a dedicated oil cooler must help drop the coolant temp, did you keep the stock oil to water intercooler in circuit as well, if so if you removed that I would imagine the coolant temps would be helped even more.
  6. CTR Overheating?

    I think those with an ODBII reader may be able to get the coolant tem in a digital format, it would be useful to know that info, I would imagine 100% gauge = 120c.
  7. Car rolls forward while in gear...

    That is the wrong way round and you run the risk of turning the engine over backwards and damaging valve/camshaft/cam drive systems, not good. If facing uphill use reverse and if facing down use 1st.
  8. Car rolls forward while in gear...

    I agree with you but for sure you can not rely on the in gear method to hold the car on any reasonable slope.
  9. Car rolls forward while in gear...

    Funny enough I tried this over the last weekend on my sloaping drive and it moved as you described in both 1st and rev gears. The clutch does not slip and I was surprised the car moved. I have 10.5k miles on mine.
  10. Rev Match System Poll

    You are quite correct Sir and I do know better, I have corrected my original reply and elaborated on its intended use.
  11. Rev Match System Poll

    Corrected reply: I incorrectly stated the following "When the RMS works correctly there should be little to no load on the synchro as the speed of the gears is matched." This is wrong and I should have know better, double de-clutching will reduce the load on the syncros as part of a engine blip...
  12. Rev Match System Poll

    Ah, that would trigger the RMS by going via the next gear down even if the clutch was not released, it would appear that the issue it with my car and I will raise it at a dealer visit in December.
  13. Rev Match System Poll

    In the UK it would appear we have a number of ways the Rev match system seems to work, for example on my Dec 2018 CTR the RMS does not work with block changes, but other owners report their car's do work with block changed. I guess we all know that you need to be above 2k RPM for it to work in...
  14. Autel BT dongle results--lean condition?, misfires, AFR Parameters

    Edited reply: I got it working! I was selecting (logically I believe) Brakes under diagnostics and then EPB. I got it working by using the Service function on the home screen and then EPB, after a few options and minutes the brake pad change mode came up and worked fine.
  15. Autel BT dongle results--lean condition?, misfires, AFR Parameters

    Got the dongle today and downloaded the Honda diagnostic tools but it won't talk to the EPB, so I guess your US cars must have different coding. I have even tried selecting US and General models with the same result.
  16. Autel BT dongle results--lean condition?, misfires, AFR Parameters

    Thanks, the last Autel diag tool I purchased in December 2018 would not work on the CTR (FK8) so this is good news indeed and well worth $60 just for the EPB feature alone. Just ordered one, from Amazon as they offered some extra discount today, so it cost £55.99 in the end, result.
  17. Autel BT dongle results--lean condition?, misfires, AFR Parameters

    Sorry, I don't have an answer to you question but i am assuming that the car "feels" OK? I am intersted in whether the dongle allows the reset of the EPB, can you confirm that is the case and if so what model of Autel is it please? I have to keep borrowing the diagnostic tool to do my rears (I...
  18. PEEFREE's Civic Type R FK8 Build thread - Track / Street

    Excellent work and good news, I am a little surprised that you have not fitred an aftermarket grille already but still great to see all your mods in the pursuit of improved cooling, hats off to you sir.
