What did you do to your Type R today?

[9000RPM]

If you downshift 2 or more gears it will rev match under 2k; it's just a lot slower. The only time this doesn't work is going into 1st gear. So a 4 -> 2 shift should always rev match, just a lot slower. I have read that it doesn't work if you're below 20 MPH though.

That said, the throttle spacer is very nice and definitely something I recommend for all Civics Do note that if you keep rev match on while doing the rev match yourself, the car will still hold revs for you which is very helpful if you want to ensure a smooth shift

After installing it, I consider this to be a must have/day 1 mod. The last manual car I'd owned was my 2003 S2K and loved heel/toeing in that car.

I've noticed that it holds the rev but I can't keep thinking about whether rev-match will decide to engage or not when I brake to slow down to take a turn.

I’ve kind of gotten into a groove with the rev match system. If I’m below 2200 RPM I’ll downshift two gears while if I’m above that I’ll downshift one gear. This ensure the rev match and rev holding will always kick in. That seems to work very well. Though I’ve also gotten into the habit of blipping the throttle anyways since it actually speeds up the time it takes to shift.

I installed the wooden Unity Performance shift knob and Acuity collar. Goodness gracious was getting that collar off a PIA! So glad I'll have the ability to switch knobs at a moments notice.

Thanks Jay! Let's see some pics

Yes, the Acuity Collar is much better to deal with than any OEM Honda Collars on the 10th Gen! I have the Cherry Lightweight + Black Collar in our CTR

Few pics from the September HPDE day on the Joliet Autobahn CC full course.

High 80's and the coolant temps were perfect after 30 minute sessions with the C&R street radiator & I/C and HKS oil cooler.

I've worn out my Carbotech XP12's after 3 days here...three 110+ mph straights per 3.5 mile lap.

Are you tuned or just running those bits for cooling and otherwise stock? Car looks great!

Never understood this about rev matching below 2k. Is it just me or is their actually a use case to even need rev matching at RPMs that low?

When I'm slowing for a stop sign or pulling into a parking lot, to 2nd or 3rd gear at low speed. Which are the only times I ever want it to rev match for me and I get annoyed when it doesn't

Amsoil oil change. Changed front pads to Akebono. Hope it helps with brake dust. So far I'm liking them.

Note: On the oil change this morning - I noticed some fresh oil on the back of the engine block. Damn. Gonna take it to Honda tomorrow to help diagnosis source. I already did my leaking valve cover last year. And I checked and doesn't seem to be any oil hiding back there by rear of valve cover.

Paid a dent repair guy to fix a dent that bugged the crap out of me. These guys are magicians... Took him about 15 minutes

Changed out my factory steering wheel for a dry carbon and leather steering wheel

 

[fatherpain]

Installed a Unit2 Fabrication oil pan.

It’s a modified OEM oil pan with baffles and trapdoors installed to prevent oil starvation under hard track driving. Also has a port for an oil temperature sensor to be added in the future…

A pretty involved mod, requiring removal of several components beyond just the pan.

Full details can be found on my build journal if interested.

Haha funny you mention that, my titan 7s are due to arrive on monday. I'm glad it wasn't them. I'll have to be more careful The car has only 450 miles on it, so I'm still get used to it.
