Hey all,
I'm looking to buy a 2017/2018 Type R in the near future, Q3/Q4 2019, as a daily driver. I feel confident that the Type R will satisfy my each and every need, as everything posted here and across forums has been positive towards the handling, suspension, corner taking, etc, which is what I value in a car. The make or break will come with the test drive itself, as I love everything about the CTR on paper and from reviews. Plus, the hatchback aspect of the hot-hatch makes it more practical than not as a "jack-of-all trades, master of none" car. I won't have to be concerned about storage space going into college and the real world, assuming this car had nothing else to offer. I'm a new car enthusiast that's gotten absorbed by the world of these silly little steel death traps. And I love it.
The reason I post this thread is relevant to my inexperience with car setups in general. I want to know more about the car I want to own, and in particular, what I could do to mod it with high quality and class. There isn't a shortage of people who think that the controversial design of the CTR is outrageous, stating that it's "riced from factory". I don't share these ideas, but I'd like to make sure that if I'm making my dream car into something nobody expected of it, I want to do it right. After all this exposition, it leads me to my question(s):
What's the best way to find out whether a CTR mod is reliable/high quality? Is there a dedicated list/thread with all the mods I could ever yearn for? I don't want or need everything to be as high profile as the red Brembo brakes, but I want to know what's out there and where it stands in the CivicX community. The first mods I'll be looking at are exhaust, tire, and spoiler replacements, with hopeful engine, cold intake, or turbo (if I'm feeling extra spicy, maybe even a super) mods way further down the line. I don't have a problem with anything on the bone stock CTR, but these are just my personal goals within the first 1-2 years (3-5 for the more expensive mods) of owning this beauty to make it my own CTR.
Thank you for your time and responses!
