What did you do to your Type R today?

[MadMage]

Did an autocross event in a monsoon today. The rain was so intense they didn’t actually bother timing anyone. Just turned it into an exhibition event rather than cancelling. My car actually did better on the RE-71’s during the event than during the drive down. Those tires are NOT meant for highway speeds in heavy rain. That was a white knuckle drive.

In case you've never tried, you can fit an entire set of tires in the back. Along with a floor jack, torque wrench and a cordless impact driver. I use a couple of U-Haul blankets to keep the car clean while doing so.

Just installed the perrin rear motor mount inserts last night. Haven't decided if I like them or not. For basically what is a commuter car, it's kinda annoying but when I am moving, it does feel nice

You shouldn't be experiencing excessive NVH's honestly - just some vibration if AC on and stopped. Is that your experience?

It's just at that specific rpm at 800-900 where it seems excessive. That is with A/C. But I'll give it a few weeks before I decide anything further.

Might try to do that thing with the tuner to set idle to 1000

That would def fix it if it's annoying - I got used to it pretty quickly but if you hate it not the worst thing to remove to go back to stock. Hope you like it though! One of my fav things I did to my 19 and about to do to my 21

Mine is going in the shop tomorrow for a leak in the AC condenser and the hose. Gotta love warranty work lol

I'm at the dealership to install the carbon fiber accessories and fix/replace the constantly-rebooting head unit. I picked up this car a week ago and the HU is already hosed lol

Just curious, what aspect of the HU is constantly rebooting? the system-level OS itself or your Android Auto/CarPlay?

It loads the audio control software but hangs afterward. It can happen without any input from me and occurs regardless of iPhone connection. I haven’t joined my phone to BT and only connect via USB. Phone is running iOS 14.8.

See if your slight vibe seems to only be noticeable at idle with A/C on. Even in NW FL I seldom use anything but 4-down cooling unless raining. I feel slight increase with air on but not from cold start, only warm so it must find that resonating freq. All other RPMs aren’t harsh yet it still does decent job of controlling wheel hop from digs. I’m quite happy with this no harshness insert as I believe it’s better than just OEM overall without any severe vibe or harshness of full RMM replacements in street or race variants. Sure, it’s easy to get used to any mod like that but this Perrin insert seems good middle ground. It should be even smoother once Hondata and Phearable2 tune provide better traction controls, Flash Pro came today.

Typical, bet the fingerpointing exercise begins.
Mine does this once every day/every other day, no fix, no HU swap attempted by Honda, Apples problem. Apple response… crickets.

Put on my First Molding hood and went for a quick shoot.

Nice bro! Are those Titan T-S5?

Nice bro! Are those Titan T-S5?

Thanks and yes they are. Wheel specs are 18x9.5 +45 in the satin titanium.

Not today but a couple of days ago, I changed out my spark plugs. Looks pretty normal for 55K miles. Daily driven year round, custom tuned on 93 octane with a drop in filter, inlet pipe, intercooler, and exhaust.

Honestly looks like I did not have to change em, the new spark plugs from Honda were not cheap lol.

@Si_chRis I bought oem ngk plug set from @PRL Motorsports for like 55 shipped. Local dealer wanted 35 each plug.
