  1. Are these rust spots?

    I came back to my car today to notice tons of these little spots on my paint around the rear and side of the car. Since I daily commute in a snowy area known for using lots of salt, this gave me a near heart attack - could these possibly be the beginning of spots of rust, or would it not form...
  2. Minor Issue - Too small of a range on front heat vents to reach hands?

    I'm posting to see if anyone else has noticed this as well in their 10th gen CTR. My hands are almost always positioned at 4 and 8 o'clock on my steering wheel, nothing out of the ordinary. I cannot seem to get a decent stream of warm air to cover my hands for the life of me while driving on a...
  3. Preventative maintenance to avoid clutch wear in '19 Type R, daily start/stop traffic?

    As the title suggests, I daily drive my 2019 Type R to and from work 4 days a week. I absolutely love having this car as a daily, however roughly ~40min of my drive consists of start/stop traffic each way and I'm concerned about putting more than average wear on the clutch assembly. I'm almost...
  4. Removal of window visors, paint trim damage

    I recently picked up my (used) replacement 2019 Type R on which the previous owner attached window visors. Not being a fan of them, I performed the job of removing them myself. I used a heat gun and dental floss to attempt to loosen and safely remove each visor. The floss kept breaking and did...
  5. Type R front badge stolen in Philly/Cherry Hill, NJ area

    I thought I'd mention this to warn anyone else who lives around the area. My front Type R badge was ripped off of my car while I was grocery shopping in the Cherry Hill, NJ area. I have a suspect in mind but without evidence couldn't place blame. But a week later at the exact same store, I...
  6. How to remove windshield defroster vents for cleaning tiny shards of glass?

    Preface: First paragraph is my rant, second paragraph is the question. As described in the title above, upon turning on my windshield defroster 3/4 to full blast, very tiny pieces of glass fountain out all over my dash, and this has been happening since I purchased my car ('19 Type R, used at...
  7. Help needed: Vibration after install of aftermarket wheels. Is this my fault or the auto shops

    As the title explains, I recently purchased a set of (4) Sport Edition A10-2 18x8 wheels for my Type R, and after mounting them today am experiencing significant vibrations over 50mph. Prior to mounting, I took the wheels to a local tire shop to mount my winter tires and balance them. My first...
  8. Winter Wheel Size - Minimum Offset for 18" Wheel

    To add yet another aftermarket wheel sanity check post, I'm looking for some clarity before making a purchase on wheels for my winter tires. I currently own a set of 235/40R18 Blizzak winter tires (from a previous vehicle) and need to purchase wheels to retrofit them onto my 2019 Type R before...
  9. Planning to trade-in 2018 Si for Type R in near future, a few questions

    Hey all, As the title says, I have been doing some searching and found a few used Type R's within a price range that fits my recently upgraded budget, so long as I get a fair trade-in value for my current 2018 Civic Si. I do have a few questions prior to physically going to the dealership and...
  10. Fucked up today - sheet metal yielded to jack stand, detached rocker panel

    So my plan for today was to do a quick wheel rotation prior to a small road trip I'll be going on in a couple of days. Seeing as it was a rough day at work, I wanted to get this done with and move on with my night. I have only two jack stands and a single jack, and in any other scenario I would...
  11. Debating new tires and wheels - any suggestions?

    I bought my 2018 Civic Si back in November with ~28k miles, and ran into a pain in the ass series of issues involving the front left tire. In summary, a slow air leak resulted in multiple trips to the dealership and after some not pleasant rants to the service department they are replacing it...
  12. 2018 Si Sedan - Exterior Additions?

    Hi all, I'm proud to say I'm new to these forums and owning a 2018 Civic Si. I upgraded from my mundane yet reliable 2009 Civic sedan at the end of last year and haven't looked back since. Back when I was negotiating my purchase, I was stuck between the sedan and coupe style for the same model...
