  1. Just wanted to post this - For those who cant get a Type R right now

    I wasn't cross shopping with the brz when I got the Type R (2 door vs 5 door, power diff, price range, etc), but the new 2022 brz has caught my eye tbh. Plus there is the new Nissan 400Z coming as well. So i'd say for all those peeps who missed out (and don't want to pay over MSRP) to check out...
  2. Inventory may be drying up.

    The next Type R was spied in camouflage already though. It might be ready for Q3/Q4 2022 release.
  3. You've got $50,000. Would you still have purchased a Type R??

    They definitely ain't that cheap anymore.
  4. Anyone can buy a Type R crate engine now with harness and ECU.

    I'm sure cops will be able to tell the difference
  5. A quick question about the auto-rev match function in FK8 (MY19)

    I simply just always downshift before it drops below 2k rpm. If it gets below 2k, I just manually blip it myself since you can obviously hear when the car didn't rev match. Another cool thing about the FK8's revmatch is revmatching on upshifts [1]. So when going from 2nd -> 3rd, it will...
  6. Type r transmission problem, DOCUMENTED.

    Don't know how it is in Costa Rica with your warranty terms, but transmission/gearbox issues should be covered under warranty in general. Is there a Honda office in Costa Rica? You should bring up to them that your dealer is refusing warranty claims.
  7. Fk8

    The manual explains this, but you gotta drop the hood from about 30cm up. It's built that way so you don't accidentally dent it by pushing it down.
  8. Drift King Tsuchiya drives the Type R + impressions

    The renault megane trim that holds the record had barely any production models made and they took out the back seats among other things. It's kinda like the LE but twice as raw in the way they did the weight savings.
  9. Replacing 2019 CTR front vent garnish assembly with 2020/21 version?

    The new one doesn't have the vents texture, it is just a flat plastic.
  10. Tips for a Manual Beginner?

    I see, but you will probably never have to throttle blip when driving this car with rev match on. Unless you are below 2k rpm :p
  11. Tips for a Manual Beginner?

    Disagree with this, only reason I can see why anyone would disable it is for heel-and-toe preference. If you mean you want to learn heel-and-toe, then I don't think that should be a focus for you anytime soon.
  12. LogR Performance Data Recorder App launched for 2020 Civic Type R

    So you just installed it and it booted up? :O
  13. Tire damaged at dealer

    The car also has a built in GPS history, it was posted here some days ago. Instructions are on the manual as well. You can use this to check if they have driven the car.
  14. It happened guys.... rev match/ emissions issue

    Your warranty should cover any Honda dealer, just take it to one of them to have their techs look at it.
  15. What are your complaints with the type R?

    Why wouldn't you go with the WRX (or STI actually) when you drive on gravel roads regularly? Seems like having AWD would be a no brainer there.
  16. Why buy a car you can't afford?

    Apartment/renting is a waste in my opinion. Just suck it up, live with your parents, save up and buy your own house.
  17. Is the Type R worth it for an average driver?

    This isn't exactly true (disregarding the fact that the car at stock will usually go into limp mode on the track after a while). When building the FK8, Honda wanted it to be more versatile for daily driving compared to older models. They mention it here...
