  1. New Long Block: What should I know?

    FTR, I’m foreseeably keeping this car indefinitely but I do appreciate seeing both sides of the argument on its value as it was something I was considering and completely naive about outside of a strictly consumer perspective.
  2. New Long Block: What should I know?

    Update: Per the service manager, my replacement is a brand new crate engine (not a rebuild). 530 miles to go with <3-mile daily commutes ...
  3. New Long Block: What should I know?

    per my service advisor, this isn’t a warranty repair since it wasn’t a manufacturer’s defect. apparently it’s a retail repair and because of that, my engine gets an additional 36k/3-year warranty.
  4. New Long Block: What should I know?

    Long Story Short: Oil drain plug loosened and came off on the highway @ 70mph. Exited the freeway immediately but engine was already knocking by the off-ramp. Dealership concluded it was engine starvation due to likely negligence from the last (Honda) dealership that performed my oil change two...
  5. Is heel-toe downshifting “obsolete” because of the Auto Rev Match system?

    Thanks for all the feedback; Gonna send this Acuity pedal back unless someone in San Diego wants it for 15% off ($83)
  6. Is heel-toe downshifting “obsolete” because of the Auto Rev Match system?

    Just took delivery of my Acuity Accelerator Pedal Spacer and realized that I’m pretty horrible at heel-toe downshifting. But after all that, I noticed that the Rev Match System was compensating for my insufficient throttle blips and was wondering if it’s actually “pointless” to heel toe...
  7. CTR at (or below?!!) sticker NICE LIST!

    SoCal peeps, I have a lead on a 2018 CBP and 2018 PMM at MSRP. DM if you want contact info!
  8. Master Thread: Black Friday / Holiday Sales for Type R Parts

    Thinking about picking this puppy up, is this as good as the reviews say it is? How do you like it?
  9. How many ended up with a drilled front bumper?

    CA here. My dealer didn't install the front bumper. Did, however, find the time to tack on some add-ons.
  10. 10th Gen Civic Coupe Turn Signals, Brakes, Reverse LEDs!

    Hey TypeRLEDs, sorry for posting here but I have yet to receive a response in over a week from your website. I received my order but I believe my dome light is missing a piece after combing through other pictures of the product. I triple checked the anti-static envelope, the bubble mailer...
  11. Honda Civic Type-R Over sticker dealer naughty list.

    I don’t think it’s a case of having disposable income as it is valuing their income. I do agree with impatience but ignorance (on the market) plays a fair role too. Regardless, most of us here are on the same spectrum.
  12. Honda Civic Type-R Over sticker dealer naughty list.

    SoCal update. Someone on the Facebook CTR group pre-ordered their 2019 CW from Pacific Honda (Kearney Mesa) for $5k ADM.
  13. CTR at (or below?!!) sticker NICE LIST!

    See you finally got your CW. How much and from where? I see there are the wind/rain visors installed. SoCal hasn’t been known to hit MSRP for a CW yet AFAIK - unless you’re posting in the wrong thread?
  14. Rare Honda parking area

    Question: For those of us with these unicorns. Is it an "asshole" move to take the spot directly next to another unicorn? I always thought it was a nice gesture because I would rather take the spot because I know I'll respect your car and "protect" it and someone else may not. But I don't want...
  15. Honda Finance Rates for the CTR

    3.29% for 48 to 60 mos. through Navy Federal Credit Union. Asked for $32k and got approved for $34,100 max with >800 credit score.
  16. 1st Gear

    A lot of people are contributing the jerky shifts to the clutch delay valve (CDV) which is apparently fairly easy to delete. There's a whole thread on it. I've thought about it.
  17. Honda Civic Type-R Over sticker dealer naughty list.

    When it's the season of giving and your dealership refunds you a portion of your ADM.
  18. Flashing CEL, Rev Match System error, Emission System error!

    Sorry, I guess I should rephrase that- flooring isn't the right term. If I have steady acceleration past 80mph, it will pop the light. Maybe at 40% throttle over 3 to 5 seconds? I'm guesstimating but I'm gonna try and record it all over GoPro. Regardless, the mechanic said he was able to...
  19. CTR Rev Matching and Emissions Issues w/Check Engine light.

    Okay, that makes sense. Ever since getting this car I've been watching every Engineering Explained and Donut Media video on YouTube lol. Anyway, I was walking back to my car today from the gym and noticed this exposed connector in my grill. Never noticed it until the mechanics at my dealer...
