  1. Totally unnecessary hurdles to update the lousy Honda Garmin gps

    Today I wanted to update my civic gps. Following the official instrucitons: https://support.garmin.com/en-US/?faq=4qpP6QRT6r105RJ1sELgM7 - I spent like 2 hours fiddling with the usb stick, resizing the partition to 16 gb. But no, it had to be a bit smaller than 16. In the end I managed to get...
  2. Manufacturer warranties - costs cutting

    Interesting what he says. I was imagining manufacturers are willing to pay less but didn't think they go that far. No wonder the customer is not getting his warranty claims seriously addressed or he's sent to take a hike. I guess that those warranty stickers written in big letters ( 60-100k...
  3. Need help from US members to order TypeR subframe brace

    Hello, I'm from Europe and here we are in the middle ages when it comes to procuring components/after market parts. The only way to procure a subframe brace + 2 screws is from US. And of course US Honda dealers do not accept payments with non-US CC. Can someone purchase those for me? (I'd...
  4. Type R vs A45 AMG vs M3 competition

    That's not bad for a fwd, manual car. With a 8 speed auto the difference would be lower than 1.6 seconds. I think this also shows that despite having so much extra power the M3 is penalized by the gargantuan weight. 4000 lbs sports car, yeah right... I can tell you that even 440 lbs extra(my ex...
  5. CTR LE available for MSRP in Europe(EU)

    Hi guys, Today I passed by my dealership and they were just unloading two 2021 CTR LE off the truck. One is sold, other is still for sale(at MSRP). If anyone is from Europe and is interested please let me know and I'll provide you the details/pricing. I was told that only 100 CTR LE are being...
  6. Keyfob signal blocking case/pouch

    Hi everyone, Does any of you use successfully a case/pouch that shields the Civic X keyfob from external RF except when being close (near the door lock or inside the car)? I saw on Amazon/reviews a couple of models, highly rated but for some car models do not work. What works well for Civic X...
  7. Corvette C8 anyone?

    Given the specs and US price this C8 looks interesting. If the car proves reliable and not expensive to maintain it would be great. However for Europe I think that sadly the prices will double almost following the "tradition" of C6, C7. Rests the grey imports route: car purchased from overseas...
  8. To coat or not to coat... plastics

    Hello, I'd like to hear your opinion if exterior plastic parts: fake carbon lip/diffuser/sills , gloss trims, honeycomb vents should be ceramic coated? Have you done that? How does it look? My experience so far with silicon polymer based wax (Wolfgang Deepgloss 3) on my ex Bmw 420: - gloss...
  9. Tested today M2 LCI and TYPE R FK8

    I tested today almost back to back M2 LCI(standard config) and a FK8 Type R GT. I thought I can share with you my observations. Take them with a grain of salt there is always subjectivity no matter what. Type R FK8: pros: - nicer more cozy interior - brutal power delivery when it picks up, you...
  10. Toyota Supra 2019

    I bumped into this article: https://www.forbes.com/sites/peterlyon/2018/01/26/the-supra-is-back-but-this-time-its-a-toyota-bmw-collaboration/#60ad77c92001 It says production version will be presented at this year's Geneva motor show edition on March 6. I read further "Now to the all-important...
  11. Renault Megane RS 2018

    Here is a review(video included): http://www.largus.fr/actualite-automobile/essai-renault-megane-rs-2018-le-test-du-chassis-cup-sur-circuit-8966394.html - cup chassis option in the test - they say a Trophy trim 300hp and 400nm will follow later in the year - it is more agile than Type R due to...
  12. Centralized CTR issues

    Could we have a sticky thread where every member with CTR references the encountered issues? The information starts to pile up and is not easy to follow, some central point would be great. It could be for example structured as a table. Each row represents one issue. It could have the following...
