  1. What did you do to your Type R today?

    Thank you kindly. Honestly right now it's nothing fancy. Just a couple zip ties holding the bottle to the seat adjustment bar. I do have a Bracketeer lying around that I plan to install eventually for a more permanent and cleaner look. The NOS bottle I found on Etsy.
  2. What did you do to your Type R today?

    After now watching a couple YT install videos to replace the pads and manually disconnect the electronic brake it does look relatively straight forward. Not sure when I'll have the time but I think I will try to install myself and see what the results are. I'm not going to be happy with Honda...
  3. What did you do to your Type R today?

    I assume shims would be included in the box but I can't say for sure. I purchased the pads last year and still had the plastic wrap on the products. So whatever "normally" is included in these brake kits would have been there. It's a good point and now it makes me wonder just what did Honda...
  4. What did you do to your Type R today?

    Sigh... Can someone please explain what my brain is looking at in this picture. I took my car to Honda today for some maintenance and install brand new Hawk pads and steel braided brake lines. Brake lines were going to be $400 labor so F that I said. Then they told me the pads were too THICC...
  5. What did you do to your Type R today?

    My Focus is taking over daily driving duty and will store away the CTR for winter with just under 28,000 KM (17,400 MI) on the odometer. Plan to remove the battery this time and keep it on a trickle charge so I don't end up with another dead battery come April. I thought I would take stock on...
  6. What did you do to your Type R today?

    Still pluggin' away on installing the new sound system. I've been using piercedasian video as my main reference. Have the power and remote cable run. Sub enclosure is wired and reinstalled. Spent 20 minutes trying to bolt the seat belt back into place. There was a couple swear words coming...
  7. What did you do to your Type R today?

    Few more things done yesterday/today. Have the 4 door speakers installed now with sound deadening in the hollow of the door and around the speakers. Cleaned the engine bay and added a little more gold wrap. Lined the trunk with some sound deadening. Installed a dash cam. Mugen start button ring...
  8. What did you do to your Type R today?

    Been busy last couple months been adding some visual stuff and also started the process of replacing the factory speakers, sub and adding an amp. Full List of mods: Diamond car mats Fully functional (not) NOS bottle Painted tire letters Type R decals on mirrors Turbo decals on fender Type R...
  9. Is anyone thinking of trading in their FK8 Type R for the new FL5 Type R ?

    I am certainly going to my local Honda dealer to check it out when it shows up. I'll ask how much with the Fk8 trade in. Realistically though no I don't plan to. The 11 Gen is impressive with some nice improvements but I'm a little disappointed with the toned down styling. Apart from the...
  10. What did you do to your Type R today?

    My dad trolled me this morning and sent me a video to remind me not everyone has the correct opinion of the TYPE R. Clarkson and Hammond ought to be banned for this. Jump to 1:04 - 2:04
  11. What did you do to your Type R today?

    He said he wasn't able to install it without scratching my parts to hell. I'm assuming he meant he wasn't able to push the control arm on to the bushing. I was confused so I looked at Whiteline instructions and it says it's a DIY level of installation difficulty. But then goes on to say to...
  12. What did you do to your Type R today?

    Recently had my RMM and R400 exhaust installed which have turned this car into a beast. Very disappointed the mechanic said he wasn't able to install the ALK. Was really looking forward to see how the car would feel and drive with it. Very frustrating. All the dozens of YT videos of folks...
  13. PRL intake issues

    I had the same thing happen after installing my PRL intake. The problem went away on its own after driving for a day or 2.
  14. What gas do you use in your Type R?

    ^ Like Orchid said we only get 91 here in NB. I usually fill up at bargain barrel Needs Fast Fuel simply because it's nearby where I live plus after putting 91 in my Saab 9-3 for 12+ months from Esso they issued a "Sorry but the 91 you've been paying for was actually 87 this whole time. We...
  15. What did you do to your Type R today?

    Added some pinstripes and removed the ugly dealer decal with some Goo Gone. It's been sitting in the box for about a month now so I decided to unpack the R400 to get close look at those nice tips and then saw THIS. Not going to pretend to be happy but c'est la vie I guess. I noticed while...
  16. What did you do to your Type R today?

    I'm a couple days late but really wanted to share this with the community. My amazing son gave me a gift this weekend for Father's Day. Just looking for the perfect spot to hang on the wall. Much love buddy! I'll show him this post next time I see him. He'll be super proud to see his art on...
  17. I'm piling on the miles! Should I find a cheap lease car??

    I have the total opposite problem and it's probably not my fault. Even before I purchased the CTR, the Ford Focus I daily drive I only put around 10,000-12,000 Km/year. I estimate with my driving habits I'll probably put about, at most, 6000 Km on the CTR each year which realistically means in...
  18. Leave Car running and lock the doors

    This is probably a case of RTF owners manual but If the car is running and I want to open the trunk, I can't. So I turn the engine off to access the trunk. I step out of the car and walk around to the passenger door to open it and the car immediately locks itself. I want to open the rear door...
  19. What did you do to your Type R today?

    I bought the car with 14000km and there's around 16500km on it now. I am assuming they are the original rubber. Now that I've had time to process the chain of events I'm starting to wonder if I've actually been driving on a flat tire from the screw for some time now and just didn't noticed...
