  1. Valve cover gasket leaking on '17 Type R

    Good to know. I have a friend who recommended somebody on the Dublin staff. (Jessica I think) when I talked to her and arranged the service through her, she seemed pretty sharp. The others though, Iā€™m not quite sure about. I try to run through Niles canyon when I can so maybe Iā€™ll see your car...
  2. Valve cover gasket leaking on '17 Type R

    I think in my posting above, I mention 5.5k miles. Iā€™m driving in the cold weather, but Iā€™ve had this car since Memorial Day last year so I have no idea when this started and have driven in all conditions. I just happened to stumble across this when I was doing my oil change.
  3. Valve cover gasket leaking on '17 Type R

    Yes I did, but from the pattern, it looked to me like splatter from whatever collected on the undertray. Like what others have implied here, check around your valve cover to see if you have pools of oil built up in the pockets below the valve cover. I took a couple photos, but this was the...
  4. Valve cover gasket leaking on '17 Type R

    Looks like the same thing is happening to my 2020 Fk8 with about 5.5k miles. No smells of coolant or any CELs. I was checking my oil levels throughout and didnā€™t notice oil level drops that could cause alarm (since I come from an Ej25t that is notorious for oil burn). When I went in to do my oil...
  5. NorCal Performance shops?

    Thanks for this thread. Iā€™ve been exploring sus mods for my car and I simply donā€™t have garage space to do anything.
  6. Is the Type R worth it for an average driver?

    I think that is the point. Will you have fun driving the car? The type R is meant to go on a track or some twisties in some backwoods area in boondock land, but the goal of having that kind of car is enjoying it regardless of where you drive. If you feel you wonā€™t have fun in the car or you...
  7. Are you happy with the color of your CTR?

    No regrets on my CW. Originally I was deciding between an Aegean Blue (since it looks similar to Subaru world rally blue) but when boost blue came out on the 2020s, it sealed the deal for me.
  8. Due to forced Work at Home until 3/21 - thinking of selling my Type-R

    For me, having my CTR is a lot of fun even in covid. I go out on errands from home and make other excuses to go out and drive it. I swap once in a while with my ā€˜05 Sti (since I donā€™t want the battery to drain) but itā€™s my daily fun/commuter car. In NorCal, the roads are, in general, freed up...
  9. Any 2020 Civic Type R arrived at dealerships?

    Pulled the trigger on a white 2020. Markup was 3k, but the price I got on my trade in (2016 Sti) was 1k over what I was considering ā€œfairā€. This is like an equivalent 2k markup which was enough for me to agree to terms. (My other white car next to it)
  10. Any 2020 Civic Type R arrived at dealerships?

    Ya the salesmen are all the same. They need to meet quotas and hit targets to get their bonuses. The sales people in Norcal were all using the same explanation. One dealer near Sacramento still claimed to have a 2018 in the showroom even while mentioning that they just agreed to a deposit for a...
  11. Any 2020 Civic Type R arrived at dealerships?

    I think I researched the out of state costs and with combinations of shipping, driving or flying to another state killed that idea as well. I am open to going to SoCal but it seems like they want to hold to the ADMs For now. if I go the route of waiting (which looks likely for now), Iā€™ll really...
  12. Any 2020 Civic Type R arrived at dealerships?

    Absolutely. I really want MSRP and itā€™s becoming battle of wits and patience with the Honda dealers in NorCal. Theyā€™ve come up with every explanation in the book from CW being the favorite color, BB being new, pandemic is screwing with our supply chain, Honda has stopped producing the Type R...
  13. Honda Civic Type-R Over sticker dealer naughty list.

    For fun, I tried hondaworld in OC. I think they were asking either for 8k or 10k, but the fact that I didnā€™t write anything down means the price was ridiculous.
  14. Honda Civic Type-R Over sticker dealer naughty list.

    Posted on another thread, but Iā€™m experiencing the same up here In NorCal. Im actively looking for a white one, but may just do whatever color is available just to get a good price. Best price Iā€™m getting at this point is MSRP w/ $3k markup. The most ridiculous offer I got was from Honda of...
  15. Any 2020 Civic Type R arrived at dealerships?

    Hi all. First time poster and am looking around for a 2020 in NorCal. Iā€™d like a CW, but am willing to make exceptions. What markups have you guys been good with when buying the car? Obviously msrp is ideal, but the best I have seen is $3k. True car is saying that up to 3% markup is a ā€œgood dealā€.
