What did you do to your Type R today?

[Chizzo]

6 hours in and the new clutch is in with a cradle. 2 words for this experience.....
never again
I will pay someone next time happily.
$1500 in labor is frigging worth it to me.

Detailed the car and then drove on Mount Akina

Them tail lights ??

Took off all 4 wheels, popped the center caps, and aligned the bottom of the H with both the wheel locks and valve stems......I have a problem lol

Damn, I really need to wash the car asap......

Honestly, they should have come that way from the factory. Maybe I have the problem too ?

I had only one issue: the tiny fuel tank.

lol, I shouldn't admit this in public... first track day I ran out of gas during the fourth session, About fifteen minutes in. I fill up the tank now during lunch.

You guys want clean wheels all day errday? So as you know i have powder coated white wheels.... the biggest pain is keeping them clean...i never wash my wheels anymore and they stay white. How? Vatozone duramax brake pads...zero brake dust. Well the dust is light brown but doesnt stick to the wheels. I now have from and rear pads. Try it and you'll love them for daily driving, no squeaks or anything.....you're welcome ?

 

[Chizzo]

Take out your delay valve in your slave cylinder they said, its just a c clip they said lol. Drill a small hole and your golden

 

[Chizzo]

I forgot to show how much it reduces your fluid to the push arm....the outside circumstance would be actual flow vs the inside of this valve is actual, hence why you cant get into gear as easily or quickly

Finished up the second part of my weekly install. Front Paragon rotors...took the car for a nice drive and I definitely feel more of a bite with these rotors.

Installed the Suma Performance mirrors with defroster and LED turn signals. I love them!

I dunno guys, makes sense technically but I don’t want to even subtly change pedal feel, operation. What I don’t like the idea of a more immediate shift feel and have concerns on extra wear & tear this damper is designed to reduce?

Based on my experience of clutch actuator and pedal adjustment by dealer, I feel Honda is inconsistent in setting cars up correctly for delivery, either at factory or predeliivery inspection (probably not included today but should be).

My grind and lockouts vanished completely after skilled lead tech adjusted clutch, no fluid change, no other fix needed in over 500 miles and I’ve tried to break it, can’t.

Although switching fluids can reduce grind symptoms, this fix changes design theory, bit beyond my comfort zone.

In watching YT TorqueToolbox switch fluid, remove plunger, then fix with complete adjustment of pedal and actuator, I believe them being out of adjustment is the root cause and this is a very clever way to have that not matter, at what expense though over time.

Not saying you’re wrong to do this, just that it’s surgery when some therapy & PT works.

Unfortunately mostly causes of grinding issues are due the incomplete disengage of the clutch while you move the shifter to engage the next gear, changing the clutch pedal adjustments is like depress the clutch pedal earlier with the difference of changing the cmc rod travel could damage the clutch creating slippage in certain conditions . Happened to me when I first got the car and I had grinding issues , I decided to removing slightly the free play of the cmc rod following what members here recommended but after that, the car was fine in commute traffic , regular driving conditions but not on the Dyno . After removing the slave clutch cylinder delay valve the shifting was completely different, I have full control on the clutch , the pedal were softer and precise , always the same disengagement point. I would say improved like 80%.
If you paid attention to the Nurburgring video footage the guy driving the car is a professional driver , and he grinding the gears a couple times . I don’t think the car used had a bad cmc adjustment, or they wouldn’t be able to adjust , is just they can’t modify the parts , the car has to be the production car .

Afe exhaust installed!

Looks good, sounds great, and holy mother of drone Batman! The speakers start to fizzle and distort at 3k the vibration is so strong. If anyone is thinking about one of these, I'd recommend a massive resonator like I've seen tossed around here unless you want a vibrating massage chair on wheels. Gonna try packing the trunk with dynamat first and see how it changes. Don't regret the purchase, just regret i have to spend more to make it bearable.
