What did you do to your Type R today?

[Bob_L]

So they lasted for 20kish miles? My pads are gone too, looking for new ones rn.

Turns out they're lasting longer than the 21k miles I'm at. Both of the front pads still have a fair amount of meat on them:

Front Left:

Front Right:

The rears have less, but weren't horrible. However, the rear right one was starting to get close (sorta.... I guess), and I'd already gone through the trouble of putting the car up on jack stands and taken all the wheels off, so I swapped the rears anyway. I replaced them with more OEM pads, so the rears weren't terribly expensive.

Rear Left:

Rear Right:

The real source of my problem was the rock I found in the shield behind the front rotor on the driver's side. That's ok, it was a good excuse to mess with my car on a Friday afternoon.

Upon further review, it could have been the Boomba add on cap unlocking it since it rubs the strut bar slightly.

The things we go through to look good!

I'm late as usual...I gave the car show thing a try last weekend. Too much work involved on my end for the car to just sit there! Lot of respect for the guys that are into it though...its a culture all its own. Fun experience for sure.

At least it forced me to clean up the REDRAGN...it was getting rough!

Installed the Invidia R400! Sounds amazing with my catted PRL downpipe. I will be adding a valved muffler inline as well (for residential/highway/etc).

Pilot Sort 4S in 255/35-19 and rear camber arms (was -2.7, now -.17) may rub rear on Eibach Pro springs.

This wasn’t an issue with the extra camber and A/S Goodyears but now if heavy and/or neg G then it looks to me back rub possible. Glad I didn’t get 265.

I can’t believe how sticky, smooth, and surefooted these are, like a new car. Before first 3 gears easy spin, now not so much, it just launches. Dragon ready!

After a year of keeping them in my glove box, I installed my Acuity shifter cable bushings. Not going to get to drive with them today, but dry shifting still feels better.

Good (HOT) day everyone. Nothing like burning 800 calories while working on your car. Lol, Finally got around to changing my spark plugs gaped to .024 and High Spark Coils from Japan. I Must say, the car feels way better and engine response has improved.

I was able to nab the last Buddy Club rep steering wheel off of Ebay for $260. This thing is HEFTY and very high quality for almost half the price. I'm very impressed and can't wait to install it.

I'm friggin tired of the alcantara steering wheel getting dirty (I like soft hands and lotion them up alot) and it marks up my work slacks when I bang my knee trying to get in and out of the car.

Finally got around to installing this thicc boy. I used this video from Torq toolbox.



I have to say though it was a lot harder than I thought to take off the trim pieces. I was scared not to break anything and took my time, but gawd damn.

But it was worth it. Looks great and feels great to drive with. No more dirty alcantara (thinking I might just try selling it )

CE28 CR2 installed. Went with rays black valve stems instead of red to avoid color fades

How many wheels do you go through in a year lol
