  1. Stock Wheels Suck

    I agree that 18” or 19” wheels (40 or 35 aspect) are more practical but there are places that can repair your rims for far less than the replacement price.
  2. Hard time refilling fuel at gas station?

    Have you tried different gas stations?
  3. Insurance Topic how does it look to insure a type R? Geico doesn't have Type R as a quote?

    I had a 2014 Si and when I bought the 2019 Type R the rates stayed the same with GEICO. I think the ‘it’s a hatchback’ theory was correct here.
  4. Is the ride quality on 18s noticably better compared to the OEM 20s?

    19" wheels are also an option. I'm running 255/35ZR19. No rubbing and no speedo error, either.
  5. CoVID-19 Isolation? Start your Civic

    Not in three weeks but I was laid up after heart surgery in 2017 and didn’t start my Si for about 3 months and the battery was basically dead. Jump started and it recharged Ok. It certainly isn’t silly to run your car A little every few weeks if you’re not using it.
  6. How many miles left until oil change starting at 15%

    You seem to have the idea that your car will explode or have a catastrophic bearing failure the day the MM goes past 0%. Just schedule your next change some time after you get the 15% warning. The MM works on how you drive and time. With only ~4000 miles i would suggest you’ve mainly hit the...
  7. How hard to keep a white one clean?

    The horizontal kick panels below the doors collect grime really easily and I wash it a lot. I have a white one and the rest of the car never looks terrible, but that gunk at the lower door sills bugs me. I wouldn't say white is harder to 'keep clean'. Many will tell you black is the worst. I...
  8. How many miles on your Type-R?

    49,600 miles. Bought it new on 12/02/2018.
  9. Anyone else need new tires so soon?

    I continue to have good success with TireRack.com. Full selection, goodprices, and they'll ship them directly to your installer. I've switched to All-Season tires (Continental DWS06) on a new 19" rim and the last set was about $860 + installation charge.
  10. OEM Tires - Have you replaced due to wear?

    I just got new rubber for my CTR. Wheels are 19x8.5 (FlowOne F4, 34 offset) and tires are 255/35ZR19. You can tell they are a bit offset outside, but no rubbing and I would think the wider track and wider contact patch should give a bit more cornering performance. The sidewalls are nicely...
  11. Washing the Type R

    I know everyone says to never use a drive through wash, but I really like my ‘Hi-Speed Car Wash’ in Atlanta. They have some good wax stuff (Nitro Bond) and the goo they spray on the wheels/tires wipes down to a nice shine for the wheels. I have yet to see anything that looks like a swirl or...
  12. Guys.. Im worried about my Type R getting stolen..

    I also found this: “Parking Brake. You may hear the electric parking brake system motor operating from the rear wheel area when you apply or release the parking brake. This is normal.” This sounds like the parking brake uses just the rears WHEN PARKED even though the emergency use while driving...
  13. Guys.. Im worried about my Type R getting stolen..

    Weird. I looked at every reference to &parking brake’ and couldn’t find this described either way. Do you have the reference?
  14. Guys.. Im worried about my Type R getting stolen..

    I believe the e-brake just works in the rears, but if you activate it when you park it stays on.
  15. Guys.. Im worried about my Type R getting stolen..

    my 2005 Si Hatchback was stolen from my apartment parking lot in 2012. It clearly must have been a tilt bed truck as there was no broken glass and I doubt there was some electronic key duplication. This is what insurance is for and I got a generous settlement from Progressive, more than blue...
  16. OEM Tires - Have you replaced due to wear?

    I think the argument was the difference between 34 and 60 offset. i.e. 26mm = 1.023 inches.
  17. OEM Tires - Have you replaced due to wear?

    So the bigger the offset number the more INBOARD the tires ride?? Or do I have that backwards?
  18. OEM Tires - Have you replaced due to wear?

    Where are you getting +60 as the OEM offset for the CTR wheels? That seems like a very large number. When I shop for any wheel at TireRack.com the vast majority of wheels have an offset in the 32 to 45 range with a 54 as the largest value I saw anywhere. Like I said, I put these FlowOne F4s...
  19. OEM Tires - Have you replaced due to wear?

    Unsure what the difference is, but these FlowOne wheels fit the CTR perfectly with the 245/35ZR19 tires. A centering ring is used, but the isn't anything funny looking at all about the fitment.
