  1. 19x9.5 +36 on Pro Kit?

    That’s all I need to know, thanks dude. I’ll go +44 then. No plans to go Varis wide body fenders here anytime soon or run mad negative camber to try to make it work. I appreciate it
  2. 19x9.5 +36 on Pro Kit?

    I know 19x9.5 +44 or so is fairly common, but would I run into rubbing issues on pro kit by moving the offset to a more aggressive stance at +36? Would I need to run more than 2 degrees of negative camber to make that work on a 265/35 or have lock to lock issues? I’m not a fan of wheel poke or...
  3. Warranty work denied because P0630 (vin not programmed or mismatched) found in data stream submitted to Honda Canada for investigation. Car is unmodif

    You need evidence to support your claim before you lawyer up. Start with the bill of sale and every bit of the work done to the car to the present. You’re going to need proof the car is yours as well. All in all once you have what you need, I’d gather a warranty claims lawyer and explain your...
  4. Sad day today

    This is enough sports car for me - I like the platform and beyond a Ferrari 812, there’s nothing I desire on the market from a direct purchase standpoint. I plan to pay mine off and grab an LX 2500HD diesel as a long haul family hauler and winter daily afterwards. If life gives you the...
  5. Type-R Paid off 7 months.

    Congrats OP. I was one of the few unlucky ones to buy mine just before covid - 6 months exact, so my interest rate isn’t in the same bracket as most here. I’m aggressively paying off the loan to be paid off in full in less than 3 years, 2 years and 10 months to be exact. Total interest saved is...
  6. What are your complaints with the type R?

    For me it’s been primarily two things: The transmission is like glass - I’m afraid to really push the car due to 2nd grind. Upgrading to Amsoil made a huge improvement, but it can still occur. The cost and maintenance of needing aftermarket wheels to get a more friendly tire profile that’s...
  7. Best lowering springs? Price I should be looking at for a shop to install?

    I went pro kit and they have settled with around 12k on them now and track time before I bought them. The drop is still pretty low - I have to be careful even on stock wheels and tires. I also wanted to keep the different shock settings for highway bridges - I go to comfort mode when approaching...
  8. I'm personally curious do CTR and Type R owners always tint their windows?

    No tint here. The car has some pretty gnarly blind spots and traffic is awful in MD, so I’ve hesitated so far. Eventually I think I’ll give in for 35% which is the state limit. I had a HB sport before my R that I put 40% on and I was indifferent about it.
  9. How much is your insurance?

    I have some pretty hefty coverage on mine plus accident forgiveness etc. 32M Allstate and 190/mo. No tickets, no multi car discount, homeowner. Clean record.
  10. Why buy a car you can't afford?

    You can live in a car but you can't race a house:drive: If he's struggling to make the payments and the insurance premiums now, I can only imagine he's one mishap away from missing a payment and ruining his credit. I pray he never gets a speeding ticket, is vandalized, has a personal health...
  11. What are your complaints with the type R?

    Transmission problems galore. Don’t get me started. 5-4 downshift and 2nd gear grind. Honda’s warranty process can also be thrown in here. Orange peel in the paint. For a car of this nature I expect a better clear coat. It’s such a thin pain job that there’s nothing to wet sand. Junk speakers...
  12. 2020 Civic Type R Price Announced at $36,995 (a $695 Increase)

    I’ll keep my 2019 without all of the nanny features and piped fake audio. I can upgrade the rotors on my own anytime in the future as they’re considered normal wear and tear. Radiator should be a straight easy swap on the mod list. You can bet there will be even more of a dealer markup due to...
  13. New CTR owner! Help!

    5500 miles, trans fluid change at 4400. OEM replacement fluid as to not void the factory warranty in case of needing to invoke lemon law. The OEM fluid does feel much more thick than what is used in the factory at assembly. It feels much more solid - a definite improvement.
  14. New CTR owner! Help!

    Considering all of the changes were for added safety, suspension, and looks both externally and internally, I wouldn’t count on it. there just haven’t been enough sales to statistically warrant an official notice and even if there was, they don’t currently have a solution to the problem. I think...
  15. New CTR owner! Help!

    Took mine into a dealership and regretfully let a technician beat on it to replicate it. He was able to duplicate the 5-4 downshift lockout and I made an official claim for lemon law purposes. I paid to have the transmission fluid drained and replaced. It significantly helped but still getting...
  16. Dilemma I can't Resolve - Please help

    As a 2019 CTR owner don’t expect warranty to cover transmission issues. They only cover what you can replicate with a technician in the car, and they only cover replacement for cases that Honda has officially made a notice for. You’ll be fighting for lemon law replacement of the car before you...
  17. TypeR Buying Experience

    Similar experience here. 2019 and paid 2k markup above MSRP, dealer was close and had the color I wanted, they only get more expensive the closer to DC I got. There was a dealership that sells them at MSRP but you about have to be there when it’s unloaded. I’d rate the overall experience fairly...
  18. Is the transmission more sensitive to grinding in colder weather?

    Had the dealership change the transmission fluid on my dime. Was able to replicate the 5-4 lockout with a tech in the vehicle. I made an official warranty claim and told them 1/3 before envoking lemon law. The transmission feels a lot better - the OEM replacement definitely has a thicker...
  19. Is the transmission more sensitive to grinding in colder weather?

    I don’t think it’s temperature sensitive. I’ve been experiencing the same symptoms but opposite order. A 5-4 downshift lockout at 1800 miles, a 3-2 downshift grinding at temperature (4400 miles) when exiting a highway ramp, and two cases of 1-2 upshift grinding (~2500 miles, 4400 miles). The 1-2...
  20. New CTR owner! Help!

    I haven’t taken mine in to the dealership because I don’t want employees joy riding my new car only to tell me they’ve found nothing. I’m hoping to take it in for a transmission flush as I’ve read the replacement fluid is much better than the garbage the use at the assembly line. I’m at 4400...
