I knew this going on, many of the blogs and YouTube videos on it mentioned that Honda removed the features to "save weight". Realistically the only thing I'd like is blind spot monitoring, but I think I have my mirrors set up perfectly (finally) after a years worth of trial and errorNo Honda Lane watch..I thought something wasn't set right in the settings until I saw my passenger side mirror and no camera ...WTF? would a little camera really add that much weight Honda! That was a nice feature on my former Si
From what I've read on here, the car will have trouble making more than 400 WHP due to the limitations of the fuel injection system Honda uses stock in the CTR. There are some companies trying to alleviate this (port injection/DI upgrades), though not too much has been released yet.Can you expound?
I knew this before purchase but I really miss it. My Si was a coupe and that camera was awesome for meNo Honda Lane watch..I thought something wasn't set right in the settings until I saw my passenger side mirror and no camera ...WTF? would a little camera really add that much weight Honda! That was a nice feature on my former Si
Thank you for the explanation concerning the fuel injection! Also, I agree on the blind spot monitoring. I've had the car for 4 months or so, and I still struggle with the blind spots and my mirrors. I've ordered the Spoon wide angle mirrors, but they won't arrive for a while. The fight continues! It's the only thing I wish Honda had offered (other than 19" wheels) to make life a bit better overall.I knew this going on, many of the blogs and YouTube videos on it mentioned that Honda removed the features to "save weight".

basically what the guy said. Personally wanted around 450hp but it's gonna require some work due to the limits of the factory fuel pump. Hoping a better HPFP is introduced soon.Can you expound?
Give yourself, and the gearbox, time to break in. I had gear grinding issues a few times during the first 1-2k miles despite only driving a standard transmission all of my adult life. I think I was too loose-handed on occasion and also didn't drive the CTR with enough respect in general (my last car was a 2015 Si and the CTR is, well, the CTR, one hell of a machine and upgrade from a 9th gen Si). So, in summary, focus on how the car drives, adapt to it, you'll love it, but don't expect to drive it 100% comfortably right off the bat, give yourself time to really get a feel for it. I'm at ~4800 miles now and am getting a lot more confident.Waiting delivery for my Type R today. Car is being shipped so no walk around the car. Just looking for some things you found out about your car later on that you wish you knew the first day you got it.
Also maybe somethings that you just want to share.
Thanks a bunch!
totally agree. Disappointing to not have lane watch on the CTRNo Honda Lane watch..I thought something wasn't set right in the settings until I saw my passenger side mirror and no camera ...WTF? would a little camera really add that much weight Honda! That was a nice feature on my former Si
Lane watch is a camera in your passenger side mirror that activates when you flash your turn signal right. The camera output displays on the car's infotainment system. If you're not distracted it can be immensely useful. If you are distracted it makes no difference.Not having lane watch on a Type R is a feature - just means one more reason to not be on your phone and be driving properly.
Lane assist is capitulation to a distracted society - hard pass thanks - and one of the main things I like about the Type R. My M2 doesn't have that nanny shit on it either and I love it.
This was my belief before driving the Type R, which has a glaring blind spot that the shitty stock mirrors are not able to completely account for. At this point, I'd much rather have Blind Spot monitoring than have to do a 2-3 second visual scan plus look at my mirrors and pray. The 10th gen hatchback has a legit blind spot that requires either better mirrors with a wider panoramic view (which I've ordered from Spoon to help) or blind spot monitoring.Not having lane watch on a Type R is a feature - just means one more reason to not be on your phone and be driving properly.

I also despise driver assist equipment and am glad the CTR isn't loaded with it.one of the main things I like about the Type R. My M2 doesn't have that nanny shit on it either and I love it.
