What did you do to your Type R today?

Finally got the correct front garnish trim delivered from Japan for my 2021

I purchased these through a dealer as it stated that it will fit 2020+ models. Didn’t fit and had to return. Link for the one you got??

For 2020-2021 - it’s this one, as per the Honda Japan brochure that fits.

Yep, there was a puncture in the tire.

What offset are your wheels? Tire specs also? Looks AMAZING

I knew you were keeping pics from me!! ?. Your car looks almost exactly like mine except for the stance. I didn’t realize the H&Rs provided that much drop!!

And Sorry about the tire ?

Looks awesome! How much did that run you?

500ish but the place I went did an amazing job .... wheels had BAD curb rash from previous owner, but I got them for a great price so I can't complain ?‍

Installed the red trim garnish. Quoting a place in Japan for the front middle piece that fits the 2020/2021 grill. Also got my first oil change at 5k miles. And tomorrow she’s getting her all season tires on as it’s going to be moving to Utah next week to live with me!

Quite curious why you went that route of just obtaining the middle piece from Japan. I’m guessing you purchased the 17-19 spec garnishes as well

How's the feel of the Mugen steering wheel compared to stock? Lighter? Heavier?

Wasn't really a fan of the Alcantara as all I could think when driving it is that I am going to have to clean it. I like the feel so far of the leather grips of the Mugen. I have around 330 miles on the car so far since Aug purchase - maybe 20 or less with the new wheel as drove it once since installing.

Yeap… I thought I would mold is or get it to work but the curve is too drastic.
Ill be sourcing the japan kit using the middle and selling the 17-19 set To recoup some of the expense

Today I ‘red-camouflaged’ my new start battery (D5100R, 875CCA AGM) to match engine bay red using caliper wrap, relocated decals to side where won’t show inside R cover. Yep, this is REDiculous but details win shows.

The house battery (not viz) is Optima yellow top, also 51R so swap possible (shop install of audio pending) in back and both should play nicely with the 320A small pulley Apex Alternator inbound in a week or so. FYI - NAPA carries various shorter Gates serpentine belts for FK8, got 3 sizes for best fit to go with littler pulley (160-180A@idle).

Can’t wait to hear it & see custom lit box Friday.

Tally ho!
