  4. Sold the R and bought an American muscle car

    After having the R for two years, I sold it and bought an American muscle car -- the Tesla Model 3 Performance (2020 Stealth version). The following notes comparing the two are only my opinion, so your mileage may vary. I am happy to chat about any and all points. I cherished the R during my...
  5. Moving on from the FK8, but the memories are grand (and the depreciation is negligible!)

    I just wanted to say this has been an awesome community and point of reference for nearly every single question I have had regarding my Type R over the years. I got into this as a guy who loved Japanese performance vehicles in the 90's when I was a teenager but could never afford them. The Type...
  6. Ground Clearance in 2017-2019 Type R vs 2020-2022 Type R?

    Hi all. I am considering purchasing a new exhaust system for my Type R, but I have no clue what to do with it once I buy it. I cannot install it myself for a variety of reasons, so I need some general advice on where I should go to have someone else install it. I have no idea who would be...
  8. Added Carbon Fiber Interior Lining via CarbonZone

    I wanted to pull the trigger on the Honda OEM interior carbon fiber kit, but no one would give me any semblance of a deal and CarbonZone's set was a great-looking set at a much better price. I pulled the trigger and applied the kit a couple weeks ago. I love it! I have plenty more images if...
  9. Any road hazard stories in your Type R?

    Most of the time it's great driving this car. It really is. But there are those moments where a pothole or bump become missed heartbeats. And when you really run into a deep divot or hole, it can be punishing (both on your car and your soul). I ran into a strip of unmarked construction (or...
  10. Do maintenance notes from non-dealership mechanics go on the car's CPU?

    Please forgive me for not asking a question about a Civic Type R outright -- I simply need some advice for my other Honda. My wife got her oil changed today at a Jiffy Lube on her 1.5 liter Turbo 2018 CR-V, but she made the mistake of getting it changed without the proper manufacturer...
  11. Do maintenance notes from non-dealership mechanics go on the car's CPU?

    Please forgive me for not asking a question about a Civic outright. My wife got her oil changed today at a Jiffy Lube on her 1.5 liter Turbo 2018 CR-V, but she made the mistake of getting it changed without the proper manufacturer recommended oil as Jiffy Lube did not tell her it could void her...
  12. Type R Stock Tires/Wheels + Gravel Roads = ?

    So... my parents-in-law live in the middle of nowhere. This was a known issue when I purchased the car (at MSRP-woohoo!), but I have yet to venture into the gravelly unknown in the 6 weeks I have owned the car. My wife is finally pushing me to figure out if my car can viably traverse the gravel...
