  1. Official Aegean Blue Type R Picture Thread

    Moving day at the old storage unit:
  2. PRL Motorsports 2017+ Honda Civic Type-R FK8 High Volume Intake System Install Guide

    Installed without a hitch. Well, almost. Couldn't find the #8 worm clamp, not sure whether I didn't get one or if the tiny thing rolled away somewhere. So I begrudgingly re-used the factory clamp with the stupid headless screw o_O Edit: yep there it is on my doormat, idiot confirmed
  3. What did you do to your Type R today?

    My PRL HVI arrived just in time to celebrate a milestone. Installed at 10000 miles! Happy 10k day, CTR :cool:
  4. How many miles on your Type-R?

    My maintenance minder didn't come on until ~9300 miles. The engineer I spoke with assured me to follow it on my first oil change, so I committed to it early, but the wait was excruciating. I'm at 9600 now and it's definitely happier with fresh fluid.
  5. Blue Volk G025s...Waow!!

    Beautiful spoke design, but the longer I look at it, the more it looks like 5 Honda emblems in a circle. I can't unsee it.
  6. 11th GEN CIVIC TYPE R SPIED!!

    I doubt the front grill is really split like that, it's probably just a vertical strip of camo covering the emblem. Sure helps the disguise to look more BMW-like at first glance.
  7. 800 miles, 2 nails..

    Haha thanks, it worked out surprisingly well! Patched at a local shop while I waited, done by an adorable female tech who was star-struck by my car :love: This rockstar treatment only cost $19, so I'm chalking this one up as a net win.
  8. 800 miles, 2 nails..

    I had a bad feeling when I first saw this thread, like a premonition or jinx.... and what do you know, my rear left picked up a nail this morning :rolleyes1:
  9. 2020 Type-R Parts

    It'll probably have a volume knob. I was looking at a pic of the JDM model, apparently their headunit doesn't have one.
  10. 2020 Type-R Parts

    These upgrades are basically my whole shopping list! Enviable, but they may have come at a terrible price... where's the volume knob?
  11. Closing the hood

    I like to swing the hood upwards about an inch before pulling my hands away and letting it drop. Otherwise, I often let go too gently and it doesn't fall hard enough.
  12. New Race-Ready Civic Type R TC

    Yeahhhhh no. This is specifically for race teams competing in the TC category. You can't buy one unless you're a member of Honda Racing Line, which would automatically make you more than just an enthusiast. Besides, wrong car. That's the price for the Type R TCR, which has been around for...
  13. True 3" exhaust system for the Civic Type R (FK8)

    Thanks for the clip, sounds incredible! As soon as I can afford it, I think this exhaust is going to be...:cool: the "won". YEAAAAAAAAAAH
  14. High pitch noise coming from transmission + transmission grinds?

    My 2019 made a similar sound when new, especially on cold days. It was so loud I thought about bringing it into the dealer, but NVH in general was still improving with break-in, so I just turned up the radio. Not sure when I stopped hearing it but I'm at 4100 miles and everything has settled...
  15. Mishimoto Intercooler Black Friday Price glitch? $525

    Black with red piping on the way! This wasn't the next mod on my list, but the price is right, so here we are. Another sale swiped from PRL :eek:
  16. Phoenix Yellow 2020 Civic Type R facelift refresh model spotted testing at Nurburgring

    I guess that makes Aegean Blue the most exclusive color - only available on US models '17-19. Glad I got one when I did, not a fan of the lighter shades... I'd much rather be mistaken for an STI than a Focus RS.
  17. Found 2020 Type R info?

    Super fake. Article is dated Feb 19 and links to another article titled "2019 Accord Type R is happening". Type R with AWD and 10 speed automatic? We're all thirsty for info on 2020, but let's not abandon common sense.
  18. What did you do to your Type R today?

    I called ahead as soon as I knew I'd be in town. They said I could drop it off and pick it up next business day (Monday, after I left). After a little begging, they had it ready at the end of the day so it could fly home with me. It wasn't their usual protocol so hopefully I wasn't too...
  19. What did you do to your Type R today?

    Reinstalled my jailbroken ECU last night after returning from a weekend trip in LA. A couple days beforehand, I discovered my hotel was just a stone's throw from American Honda HQ... and a few blocks from Hondata! The CTR is my daily driver, so shipping time was the only thing holding me back...
  20. Steering feel with new wheels/tires

    Sidewall flex for sure.
