I use 91 when I can find it, a few cents less. In my area only Sunoco has it and not all of their stations as it requires pumps with 4 grades available. I think the book says 91 minimum. In theory the ECU should be able to compensate somewhat for lower grade fuel. The big thing is...
"My car".
How silly is this? Time to shut this thread down. Interesting to notice that as the 10th Gen R and unfortunately, petroleum powered vehicles in general, descend into oblivion, though I'm not quite sure why, the interesting threads on this website also wane. How many weeks do we want...
Very difficult to avoid this, especially in the first year when youāre not being as careful as you could/should be. So, I did it several times, but not recently. Duplicolor gloss black āAll-In-Oneā has worked well for me. Itās a pen ($15-20) and has an applicator for the paint at one end and...
Why is there is there any question about this? It can be life or death. The mfr. has issued by law a very expensive recall. If the fuel pump fails the car may not start or the engine won't run and may suddenly stop. Worst and most catastrophically you're in traffic and the engine abruptly stops...
This is still working for me. Realize that I daily drive low miles, about 19000 in 3 years, about 7 months on the summers and 5 on the winters. Expect that I will get a further season out of my OEM summer tires. I bought the car in November ā18 and switched immediately to the 20ā Pirelli...
Pure envy from wannabees, a car at a relatively reasonable price with well-balanced performance, reasonably fast, nonpareil handing, comfortable, plenty of utility, styling is mostly aero functional, reasonably easy and inexpensive to maintain, other than tires which are just part of the game...
I responded to this thread in 2019 a couple of months after I had installed the Mishimoto catch can. My CTR is my daily driver. I drive only about 500 miles/mo. A lot is short runs, although I usually intentionally extend them to get full warmup and because I just enjoy driving the car.
First...
Quite rare, saw one three days ago on I-95, SE CT, RI plates, before that about a month, both black.
BTW: PMM is the best color, also unusual, if not rare.
My understanding, perhaps incorrect, is that if you do this yourself and the replacement has not been recorded by a dealership under the terms of the Federal recall you may not be able to transfer the title of your car. Need to check your state regs and those of any state that you may want to...
Any dealer can do the recall, There must be many in your area. If you don't like the service where you bought the car go elsewhere. I bought my CTR at a dealer about 50 miles away simply because my local dealer didn't have any and the other had the car in stock in the color I wanted and I got...
Because of the safety implications of this recall, it is a ācontrolled serviceā. That means that Honda must be able to track the cars that are likely to have the problem, that they have notified the owners, have provided a part to do the replacement, and that the replacement has been done. That...
This doesn't seem to be a matter where you want to wait for something to happen to get it fixed. I got my '18 CTR done as soon as I got the notice. Never had a problem of any kind before or after the replacement. I waited for it , took about 2 hours and it's still working fine. For one thing...
Changed from my winter to summer tires. Long-range forecasts say that itās not going to be going much below the mid-40s at night here, so this is the time. Have two sets of OEM wheels, actually three, and three sets of slightly worn OEM-size tires. The extra wheels and tires were acquired at...
Not often here in southern New England which is not a car culture, per se, in terms of real drivers. Lots of costly pickups and junk straight-line cars, Camaros, Dodge and Mustang variants, and for the more wealthy, of which there are many, buying by the badge, BMW, Porsche, Mercedes. Audi...
No, have only owned 2 automatic cars in my long life, '66 Buck Riviera Gran Sport, just fell in love with the styling and couldn't resist, still couldn't today, OK for its time. Lots of weight, lots of cubic inches, lots of power, lots of gas. All things considered lots of performance and...
Here we are again, the perpetual discussion about OEM wheels and tires:
I daily drive about 7500 miles or so per year. If you are going to track the car or do something else with it you want to put whatever wheels and tires on it that you think will be the best for what you want to do. At some...
