  1. So what did you name your R?

    Ten years ago, my prior grocery-getter 9th gen Civic was almost immediately named "Peapod" in a flash of inspiration from my new girlfriend (now my wife). None such from us with the FK8R. Took nearly 2 years until I rocked up to a car meet and this dude comments "It looks like an angry...
  2. What did you do to your Type R today?

    Since everything shuts over the Christmas period, I'm still waiting on the detailing (see page 1100), but my present to my car was these rigid collars and subframe brace from, uh, POON PORTS apparently :p Before, I was skeptical, but I absolutely vouch for them now. Everything is noticeably...
  3. What did you do to your Type R today?

    Had to double my hayfever meds today because it was the worst ever. Did not anticipate how drowsy it would make me, to the point I kissed my driveway wall with the rear quarter. The poor blueberry's gonna be wearing this until I can get it detailed out I'm sorryyyyyyy 😭
  4. Civic Type R After-market Wheel Guide

    Finally ran my stock contis bald so new wheels and new rubber time. Wheels: 18x9.5 +38 CE28 Club Racer ii Black Edition Tyres: 265/35R18 ADVAN Neova AD08R (4 for 3 in Aus until end of month!) No suspension modifications. Rides 12mm lower as a result, but the extra width fills out the arches...
  5. Who is going to trade in for the GR Corolla?

    I'm with the "I love that this is coming, but I'm sticking with my Type R" crowd. In my case, I was in fact sorely tempted by the GR Yaris, but I need a C seg that could hold up to 4 people and a lot of stuff. However, the arrival of the Corolla GR changes little for me because I love my car and...

  7. Anti-burn device for your knob

    Omg these are the cutest. Makes me kind of which I got the spherical knob but I see they have some made for the teardrop too...
  8. 2020 Civic Type R Reviews Compilation

    Auto Express has pitched a Yaris GR (with the better diffs) against the updated CTR on a greasy Llandow (also the Fiesta ST and Mk8 Golf R but we all know what we're after here). An interesting outcome!
  9. Official 2020 Boost Blue Type R Picture Thread

    What were you going for before?

    Neither, my dealer said I was the first one through the door when they finally landed, they sold one other, then Honda told them they were sold out and that was it. So there can't be too many of them here in Oz!
  11. Official 2020 Boost Blue Type R Picture Thread

    Oh shit there's a boost blue thread. Gonna gear up to drop a lotta likes... For a couple of years I assumed I would eventually get Championship White but then this colour arrived with the refresh and I knew I had to have it. Every time I walk into the garage and I see it I just stop and...
  12. Anti-burn device for your knob

    I actually do keep the roo nut pouch in the central compartment just in case lol. I don't want to replace the knob otherwise, the heft and the feel is just too nice.
  13. Anti-burn device for your knob

    This was in fact the initial suggestion from the Honda salesman. Love seeing the range of solutions. I'll probably go with the weight lifting glove or something thin and not padded. And some of those gloves are useless anyway, the padded one not only ruined my grip on the bar but the first time...
  14. Anti-burn device for your knob

    Ever had to park in the full sun, and when you get back the gear knob burns your palm so bad you yell "Crikey!"? Fear not, I got a ridgey-didge life hack for ya so easy you'll think it's the dog's bollocks... Or rather the roo's bollocks coz that's literally what this was. Perfect for that...

    yeah nah I dunno how many Aussies use it, but quite a few of my car friends are British so maybe it rubbed off from them... ?

    hey all, joined just after i ordered my Boost Blue FK8, and stoked that it arrived yesterday. Been fantasising about the Type R badge ever since the DC2 Integra arrived in 'straya (in 1999) so it's a bit of a surreal moment that I've got the time and budget and got in just in time coz my dealer...
