  1. Should I get a Type R? Looking for a more fun car, not a track car

    Just for the sake of argument, what if you really like hondas and want to be able to take part in honda's history as well as own the first civic type r released in the US? That being said, if you drive the SI and the Type R, you will notice a significant difference whether it is getting on the...
  2. Should I learn manual for a Civic Type R?

    If you ever get the chance to learn manual it is 100% worth it. After driving a sports car with manual, it will be hard to ever go back. paddle shifters are just not the same.
  3. Rocks stuck in CTR tires?

    I was looking at my stock CTR tires recently and found a rock slightly larger than a pea stuck in the rubber of my tire. It wasn't stuck in the tread, it had an indent in the actual rubber and it was wedged in there. Is anyone else seeing this, and do you think this will effect the structural...
  4. Buying without a test drive ?

    I think the general thought was that this was the first time the type r was released in the US, so all the people waiting wanted to buy the car and didn't want anyone else to have used it. When I bought my car at the dealer, I was in the dealer within 10 minutes of when they opened and by the...
  5. How many miles does your CTR have?

    Bought CTR in Aug 2017. Just passed 2100 miles. Casual Friday/weekend car. Switch off fridays and weekends with the motorcycle. :)
  6. Cheaper Entry-Level 2018 Civic Type R variant coming?!

    Maybe release a SI Type R, and just put the detuned 2.0T that the accord uses. That way you can reduce a lot of the price, and give a good bed for tuners to use.
  7. Calling all **SOCAL CTR OWNERS- CHECK IN!**

    I am a little over protective of my car. I changed the oil after the initial 600 mile break in period. Got like 700 on mine. But this is my 4th vehicle, so it is just my joy riding car.
  8. Calling all **SOCAL CTR OWNERS- CHECK IN!**

    Hey was this from Honda Escondido? I saw it when I took my black Type R in for an oil change.
  9. Strangest reaction/situation you've been in because of your R?

    I was sitting at a restaurant and I see probably about 1 person every 10 minutes take a look. My favorite was a guy in a S2K was speeding on by on the road next to the parking lot, slammed on his breaks, turned into the parking lot, and pulled up next to it. He then took a couple pictures...
  10. I still haven't seen (seen another) CTR on the road!

    I saw 2 for the first time this weekend. One driving South on the 15 in San Diego. CW. Also saw a blue one in San Marcos.
  11. Does the type r have a timing belt or chain?

    Does the civic type r have a timing belt or chain? Didnt know if honda had moved over to chains or if they were still using belts.

  14. CTR Rev Matching and Emissions Issues w/Check Engine light.

    How do you check when the build was, and whether it has the revised harness. My number is 2656, and wanted to check if it has the update.
  15. My dear friends in US - Buy a CTR CarCover

    If interested, I bought this Car cover for cheap on Amazon and works great. It is a little loose, so if your area is windy a little tie down may be needed, but I went this route because the normal car car cover wasn't large enough to cover to the bottom of the car. Also didn't really want to...
  16. 3rd wave is here

    Everyone just needed to remember, this is the first time it was released, and it is limited supply being released for first year. If the first year, and low serial number doesn't make any difference to you, please wait. No reason for you to pay extra, when the only difference between this and...
  17. Socal meet on saturday

    Hey I am interested in meeting in the future. Will be out of town this weekend though :(. Also I don't have a Facebook account by design, but I will make sure to check in the future for other get togethers.
  18. Winter driving

    GAP insurance is usually only for the difference between what you owe on a loan and what the car is worth. So if you buy the car for $50K, and it is worth $35k, then you will need the GAP insurance to cover the difference that you owe on your loan. So if you put a $10k deposit down when you...
  19. CTR have a governor? Top speed you have gone?

    zroger73, I get that the top speed is approximately 170, was just wondering if there was a governor that limits that stock. if we were to take the car to a track could we get it up past 140?
