  1. Would you say the Type R is not a good daily driver?

    Perfect DD for me, coming from a 2010 Acura TL 6MT. Two cars seats in the rear and still plenty of room (my girls LOVE the CTR too). Plenty of cargo space or we take wife's SUV if we need more. Storage space and locations are awesome. I'm not constantly getting in and out so I love the...
  2. Aerosol container explodes in Civic hatchback

    So I'll add the real value to this discussion! :D Dry shampoo is used by women who don't wash their hair everyday. It takes away the greasy look and makes it smell fresh again. My wife uses it occasionally and that shit could choke a horse...walking into the room after she's used it and I can...
  3. What gas do you use in your Type R?

    My 2010 TL recommended using only fuel from top tier stations, which I knew nothing about originally. Now I'm a homer and only fill up from Shell / Chevron / Mobil / BP and of course use only 93 octane (since in my area most stations only carry 87 / 89 / 93).
  4. Car seats vs backseat

    I have these and really like them! I've been using them for years and have seen many others that don't come close to the quality of these...
  5. This car is completely different in high temps

    I bought my CTR four months ago so all I've known is what it's like in the 90+ degree central FL heat. I can't wait until we get our first "cold" front! The higher PSI along with no A/C should bring an even bigger smile to my face every time I drive.
  6. Please list your mods and the order you did them

    Mods & Accessories: Window tint (35% from dealership; will eventually go to 15% all around with air blue 80 on windshield) CTR cargo tray (dealership) Custom fit windshield shade (Amazon) Cargo net (Amazon) Custom fit cup, door, and center console liners (Amazon) Keiothic's v1 rock guards (this...
  7. Tire Shop Messed Up My Rims

    I was scared away from regular tire shops in the past when Firestone scratched and dented all four lips on my aftermarket wheels. Fortunately they paid to have all of the lips replaced (you could do that with my old wheels). I'll be going to the same place I have since that day even though...
  8. OEM-inspired, Minimalist, Adjustable CTR Rock Guards

    Got mine installed this weekend, very happy with the results! I do want to mention that I had an issue with the linked OEM parts. The fasteners are fine but the screws are too small. I could push it in and pull it out without turning at all. I confirmed what I received is what I ordered (and...
  9. Saying "It is just a 35k Civic at the end of the day" . . . Makes me so mad

    My takes from this thread and just my general opinion: 1. "Sports car" is a subjective term with different meanings to different people. No one size fits all! 2. You won't change people's minds that think this is "just a $35k Civic" and there's no need to. The people that describe it that way...
  10. Volk Te37 SL - Diamond Black - 18x9.5 +38 - Brand NEW

    Damn I love that color, would love to see on PMM. GLWS!
  11. Anyone else tired of nervous passengers causing distractions?

    LOL, same thing here! I took an on-ramp and exited it north of 70mph. She told me to never do that again with her in the car. Meanwhile, my two daughters were practically cheering in the backseat.
  12. CTR at (or below?!!) sticker NICE LIST!

    They actually got that one in the same day I bought mine (Sat, Apr 27th), though I don't think they would be as willing to negotiate on that color. He was itching to sell the blue one after he had just moved a CBP and my PMM that week and I believe he had the blue longer than both of those...
  13. How often do you see the CTR?

    I've only seen a handful since they were released, but I saw two yesterday! That makes three since I've owned it but I wasn't driving mine when I saw the first and I don't know if the other two spotted me or not. I can't help but feel kinda like the Jeep community, and the need to wave if ever...
  14. CTR at (or below?!!) sticker NICE LIST!

    Coggin Honda in Orlando has a blue CTR that they've had for quite a while. I technically paid slightly less than MSRP for my PMM (due to $2k of dealer installed options and paying just under $38,600) about six weeks ago, but they were itching to sell me the blue one for less. I'm confident...
  15. Anyone else tired of nervous passengers causing distractions?

    Glad to see I'm not the only one SMH at Mikey1's post. Are there cars that are faster than the Type R? Yes. Does that mean the Type R is not fast? No. Doesn't take a genius to figure that out. If we use his logic and consider the cars that the Type R beat on the Nurburgring, then the...
  16. Anyone else tired of nervous passengers causing distractions?

    My recommendation...blindfold them! haha My wife hates when I corner fast, especially the freeway on-ramps where I come out at the top at 70mph+. It's weird because she likes roller coasters but can't handle the cornering capabilities of the Type R. With that said, she also couldn't handle...
  17. OEM-inspired, Minimalist, Adjustable CTR Rock Guards

    Looks great! Top part doesn't bother me at all. Ready to purchase!
  18. Test drive Type R

    This is actually the second car in a row I've purchased without test driving (first was a 2010 Acura TL 6MT that was on the other side of the country due to rarity of MT and the fact I couldn't afford new). Hell, I never even sat in a TL before it was delivered to me...at least I got to do that...
  19. My first ever track day/HPDE - what I learned

    Nice write-up OP. I'll likely never track my Type R but I enjoy reading about others experiences. I thought your name looked familiar, so I checked the only place I would recognize it...Acurazine. I see that we both made the move from a 6MT TL to the Type R. Seems like a natural progression...
