The whole story: I went out and traded my Civic Hatch Sport for the Type R about a month ago. Now the Type R only comes in a manual, which was fine by me, dad taught me how to drive stick when I was about thirteen on his old '96 F-150. I'll also tell you the shift gates on my fancy new Type R are a whole lot closer than that old beat up pickup truck, so you can imagine how far my hear sunk when I went to shift from fourth to fifth, but caught third instead. I was about three hundred revs from redline when I made that quarter-inch oversight, the tach pegged 8k as I was letting the clutch out. I stomped on the clutch, put her back in neutral, dried my tears with a (used) McDonalds napkin, popped my hood and listened to my motor for a good fifteen minutes. Stuck a wrench on the head and put it against my ear to see if I could hear any pistons playing Whack-a-Mole with the valves, didn't hear anything.
Fast forward to today, I've put on about thirty seven hundred miles. Boost pressure is normal, motor runs fine and I'm getting 30.1 mpg average. Aside from the warrenty-voiding p0219 code which I'm sure is on the ECU (haven't checked, might be bad luck to do it), do you guys think I got away clean? Apparently the valves float at 7.3k on this thing, at 8k I'm surprised I didn't make a new vent in my hood...
P.S I had a little over 700 on the odometer when this ordeal happened, dealer told me break in wasn't necessary but I drove it like a baby the first five hundred because I was scared of messing my motor up lol.
P.P.S Gently used Civic Type R for sale, 40k obo
