  1. 2018 Type R on Fire

    well, virtually on fire.
  2. You see some crazy sights in Death Valley....

    Jailed for driving 3 times the speed limit in her Type R.
  3. 2017 & 2018 Owners, what would make you switch to a 2019 Type R?

    What I'd like: --a lockout on that "comfort" mode switch so my wife won't keep activating it. Other than that,..my 2018 Type R is already pure perfection.
  4. Guardian Angel or Track Day Insurance?

    Enhancing this photo from a couple years ago, I realized I wasn't alone on the corkscrew...
  5. The Infamous 2nd Gear Crunch

    Basically that's my point,..that if a simple adjustment fixes this horrendous problem, you would have to think Honda would be very happy to do this with a service call. And yes, I do have the 1-2 grind. I'm glad if that adjustment works for you,..me, I don't want to take chances with voiding my...
  6. The Infamous 2nd Gear Crunch

    I'm thinking all these 89 pages of "fixes" are successful, until the placebo effect wears out. Wishful thinking is great stuff,..but if any of these little "hacks" were remotely efficacious, Honda would have done it yesterday. What's happening in reality is that owners of defective CTR's have...
  7. Saying "It is just a 35k Civic at the end of the day" . . . Makes me so mad

    For Father's Day, my wife (OMG how'd I get so lucky!) got me this Porsche Package at a racetrack here in Vegas, I got to drive 3 different Porsche 911's with an instructor for a total of about 20 laps around the Vegas Speed track. After the first 5 laps I have to say I wasn't so impressed, I...
  8. Ok...so I feel bad...kinda...

    that eject button is so cool!!
  9. The Infamous 2nd Gear Crunch

    An Update: I posted about 40 pages of comments ago about my 2018 Type R grinding from 1st to 2nd,..I am just turning 10,000 miles and still have the problem. My wife (who drives a manual 5sp Audi) is also driving the Type R and gets the same grinding 1st to 2nd, it can be scary. The grinding is...
  10. How old is too old to buy a Type R? (FK8)

    Good for you,..I drove that trip with the Inlaws in a minivan last year and it was unmitigated Hell On Earth. You know, like in Dan McGrew..."and the lust awoke to kill, to kill.." I saw a few Bison, and was wondering if they'd trample my father in law in return for some apples.
  11. How old is too old to buy a Type R? (FK8)

    I might be 62,..but my driving instructor at Laguna Seca is 70, believe it or not! He drives a winged Subaru product, but the first time he drove my 2018 Type R around that track my eyeballs almost flew through the windshield. Above the roar, I heard him yell.."DAMN this thing's got SOME...
  12. How old is too old to buy a Type R? (FK8)

    Damn You Spock! I'm 62,..you aced me (get smart voice...) by this much..
  13. The Infamous 2nd Gear Crunch

    Yeah, I called Honda about my 2018 CTR crunching 1-->2 gears and they referred me back to the "could not replicate problem" dealer. Hope you have better luck than me.
  14. Civic Type R US Sales Numbers (to date)

    It's not that capitalism is bad, or that one guy's a sucker and a car dealer is gouging. The price that someone is willing to pay is the value of that item. I might love or hate the price, but that has no relevance. For better or worse, it's a pure reflection of nature, and so far no one's come...
  15. Civic Type R US Sales Numbers (to date)

    I paid an extra 5 grand over MSRP to order my 2018 CTR in Vegas. I did call around SoCal and Arizona and couldn't find one in stock with less than that 5 grand mark up. But, even with the extra 5 grand, it was still a lot cheaper than the Tesla Model 3 I had on reservation--those bums kept...
  16. Civic Type R US Sales Numbers (to date)

    I saw a photo of the CTR online and knew I that was my next car,..but I had to wait 2 months. In the last year in Las Vegas I have only seen ONE other CTR besides mine. It's a rare car and so gets tons of attention in parking lots by car fans.
