  1. Not mine, thoughts? Please be as honest as possible!

    I like the yellow wheels. I would add some more yellow somewhere on the body of the vehicle, but I like obnoxious looking cars.
  2. Throttle House new Type R video

    I wonder if the FK8 actually has better aerodynamics than the FL5?
  3. Turbo Release Sound

    for me, that sound became more noticeable when I changed my intake to PRL. I believe its because the stock tube between the air filter and the engine is corrugated plastic and that reduces the noise.
  4. Rear Brake Caliper

    I also did it without using an electronic tool to put it in maintenance mode. I just unhooked the caliper and turned it manually. No issues.
  5. Hawk HPS 5.0 .. or .. Hawk HP Plus front brake pads? Need help deciding

    I replaced my OEM pads with Hawk 5.0. I didn't notice any major change in performance. I did notice all noise is gone and a HUGE reduction in dust.
  6. Mudflaps vs. Car Wash Question

    I can only speak for my experiences with the wing. I do not have aftermarket mudflaps so I don't know how they would do. thanks. :)
  7. Mudflaps vs. Car Wash Question

    I've taken mine through many car washes and never had an issue with the wing.
  8. Brake Squeal.

    I switched from OEM to Hawk 5.0 pads and got less noise, less dust without any noticeable performance change. but the hardest driving I do is autocross.
  9. Scale Civic type R model collecting

    is there a plastic scale model kit? I haven't done an exhaustive search, but I haven't been able to find one.
  10. Dust Buildup on Trunk Ledge

    if its just a light coat of dust, they make dusters for cars. I have one, but I haven't used it much.
  11. Dust Buildup on Trunk Ledge

    Are you looking to prevent it? That would require changing the aerodynamics of the car, right?
  12. Pads Wear Rotors Through Normal Use? Am I crazy?

    I'm confused. you said you couldn't fathom why someone would go to a dealership for maintenance, but then shared a story of a time when you did. So you CAN fathom why, because you did... recently. You should have just shared your own personal experience instead of pretending like you knew...
  13. Pads Wear Rotors Through Normal Use? Am I crazy?

    I can answer for myself. My previous car was a Honda Fit. I had always had good service at the dealership. plus it was a convenient location, I could bring it in and they would shuttle me in to my office. so when I bought my CTR that was my logical starting point for maintenance. I have...
  14. Wrap or paint rims?

    you asking about the stock type R wheels? Can they even be wrapped?
  15. Amtrak Auto Train

    Did you disable the alarm systems?
  16. Amtrak Auto Train

    I guess I should have mentioned, I'm on stock wheels and suspension.
  17. Amtrak Auto Train

    Has anybody taken their Type R on the Amtrak Auto Train? I see they recommend disabling the alarm system. Is there a fuse to pull for that? any other thoughts or experiences?
  18. Convince me out of selling for a tesla

    I think you need to ask yourself why you bought a Type R in the first place. If those reasons have changed and an electric car fits your current requirements for a car, then do it. But a model 3 (unless its the Performance) isn't really in the same category. I've seen a lot of the...
  19. Are you still getting attention?

    I was at the Taco Bell drive through a couple nights ago and the kids working there went nuts. lol. I love it.
  20. Ok gas prices are getting ridiculous....Regular in this car?

    I put a tank of 87 in mine once. (station only had 87 and I was almost "E") Nothing happened. No knock, no CEL. But I didn't give it the beans or anything either. I wouldn't do this regularly. Only if there's no other option. I carry around a bottle of octane boost incase I'm faced...
