  1. Black seat covers for FK8

    My red seat covers came in after about a month of waiting + shipping. A bit pricey for what they are but the fit and finish is remarkable. Installation was simple. The covers come in 2 pieces (top and bottom) and are secured by velcro and tucking excess fabric into the folds of the seats...
  2. Florida Sold: Door Panel Anti-kick Guard

    Brand new and unopened. Purchased from aliexpress but ended up sending me the wrong style/color. Set includes 4 pieces to cover each door. $10 picked up in Tampa Otherwise $20 shipped Thanks for looking
  3. What did you do to your Type R today?

    How was the install? Thinking of pulling the trigger but a little hesitant to do it with only jack stands.
  4. How to properly shift smoothly (mainly 1st to 2nd)

    Iā€™d wager you just need more practice. I find the car shifts smoothly compared to shifting in tuner cars of the 90s and 2000s. No need for extra blipping of the throttle or excessive slipping of the clutch. I find in this transmission you need to let the revs drop a little more when going from...
  5. What did you do to your Type R today?

    Funny enough Iā€™ve never used LogR before, so I just went out and checked. Looks like the app only shows up on the CarPlay home screen if you are wired. A shame but not a huge deal for me since Iā€™ll only plan on using LogR on the track. Hopefully, I remember to bring my cable for those occasions.
  6. What did you do to your Type R today?

    Iā€™ve been running wireless apple CarPlay in my car for the last 2 weeks and itā€™s been working beautifully. Decided to completely cut the cord and go full wireless, so I bought and installed an oem wireless charger. What a pain in the ass to install especially if you route and zip tie everything...
  7. Re-calibrating the stock dampers to 'zero' at new ride height

    Not sure if this is the video you guys are referencing. Granted it's an NSX they're lowering but he mentions using an "Autel Maxi System." Can't provide any personal input since I'm at stock height but hopefully this could help someone figure it out.
  8. What did you do to your Type R today?

    To the small percentage of owners with radium CCV catch cans, Napa has these hose protectors around $3-$5. They work very well protecting the AC hose from chaffing the catch can fitting. Ended up using the 4ā€ version. Thought about spraying them black for a hot minute, but then axed that idea as...
  9. Did 18"'s improve your daily life? vs 4S on OEM 20s

    I deal with typical shitty Midwestern roads and pot holes. The ride quality is significantly improved downsizing to 18s. I went with Pilot Sport 4S 255/40/18. R mode on 18s feel like comfort mode on the stock 20ā€ continentals. I no longer have a mini heart attack going over pot holes and speed...
  10. What did you do to your Type R today?

    This will be a more of an update of what I did to the Type R over the winter while it was hibernating. Installed illuminated door sills as well as ambient and console illumination kit (what a pain in the ass): Mugen visors: Sweidit center console wings to match the rest of the OEM...
  11. 2020 FK8 - How can I remove the shift boot ?

    Bumping this thread for other 2020/2021 owners struggling with removing their shift knob and panel. I used @JDM Power ā€˜s method to successfully remove my shift knob and panel without any damage like the ones that would occur from using traditional prying methods used for 2017-2019 variants...
  12. Official 2020 Boost Blue Type R Picture Thread

    But Honda did make a year-specific color for the Type R. Itā€™s called Phoenix Yellow ?. FWIW, boost blue is a color unique to only the type R and is not in any other current Honda offering. Internet cool points aside, itā€™s still a type R that drives pretty damn well for a modern car. Enjoy it in...
  13. Official 2020 Boost Blue Type R Picture Thread

    Why? Itā€™s unfortunate for our Canadian friends that they donā€™t get to have BB in 2021, but what purpose would excluding this color for the US do other than to make 2020 BB owners feel special? Let people have a chance at getting what they want. Glad they upped the US production numbers for 2021...
  14. Sticky/crunching Shifter on Type Rs?

    2021 here with < 1000 miles. Only had a single 1st gear lockout but otherwise no grinds or funny business. Shifts like butter if you donā€™t force it into gear. One of the better-feeling cable shifters in the market but may leave you wanting for more if youā€™re used to a direct linkage shifter...
  15. Good deal for 2021 CTR OTD price

    Agree with everything above. Donā€™t waste your time with CA dealers. Got my 2021 boost blue for MSRP in Ohio. OTD youā€™re looking at around $42.5k-$43k after taxes and fees. Save that extra $3k to invest in PPF, wheels, mods, beer whatever. Times are tough. Make sure your hard-earned money is...
  16. What did you do to your Type R today?

    Oof thatā€™s a bummer. Keep an eye out in the classifieds and used market. Most of these wheels, while pricey, are quite abundant especially in CA. You might be able to find a set in good condition. Otherwise most new sets require some waiting. I was prepared to run down the treads on the OEM...
  17. What did you do to your Type R today?

    Iā€™ve had my R since 10/10. I sent my deposit to System on 10/30 for the fall/holiday sale. They estimated a 7 month lead time. I get a surprising email from Thomson last week that my wheels had arrived early, and they were shipped out on 11/19. Maybe I got a set that was already sitting in their...
  18. What did you do to your Type R today?

    New shoes came in 6 months early. Thanks to Thomson @System Motorsports for the excellent customer service. Unfortunately snow is forecasted this week, so wonā€™t be putting these on until the Spring ?. Gives me time to pick out lugs, center caps + adapters, and hub rings.
  19. Honda Civic Type-R Over sticker dealer naughty list.

    California is definitely one of the worst places to buy a car new or used. I remember asking around many SoCal dealers last year including Spreen. Very similar and unpleasant experience as stated here. Unfortunately, they were not the exception. With so many CTRs in California, I wonder if...

    Finally got my PPF and ceramic coating done. The shop also did a nice photo shoot with the car.
