It sounds like you have struck a good balance.

A survey conducted in 2019 found that 58% of Americans had less than $1,000 saved. And 40% retire on SS alone. Just because, as you say, "99 percent finance" doesn't make it a good idea. It is the reason that about 50% or more of Americans retire in poverty. NOTE: AI Actually says 29% pay cash...

Opps, thanks for clarification. Non observant Type R owner here.

Running 5w30. If it is recommended for EU Type R's and the CAFE standards are what prompted the 0w20 US recommendation, well that's enough reason for me to run 5w30.

This is the most fiscally responsible answer.... You should not own a car with debt. Buy a 10 or 15 year old Honda or Toyota for 5-10k with no debt. This is the most responsible. Also the least fun. Maybe you can use debt when purchasing a car if you already own a home that you can afford...

With only 1500 miles on the car and only 60 miles on the tune, please take these comments with a grain of salt. It is very difficult to test the car on back roads where only small windows of acceleration in 3rd gear reveal the true story. Off idle, light clutch engagement smoothness - The...

Well after searching the internet for 2 hours and posting the above, I immediately I stumble upon the solution in a YouTube short. Doh! Problem solved! Back to your regularly scheduled event.

I just had my 2025 Type R ECU jailbroken at the Hondata Atlanta event. My cluster used to look like this: Now the area highlighted in yellow is essentially empty. I can't figure out how to get back the basic info shown above. It seams like the scroll wheels on the steering wheel only affect...

Foam canon, pressure wash, microfiber towels and Turtle Wax Ceramic Spray Coating. This stuff is the best!

Not quite sure where you got the number 8. Visor.vin shows 679 NEW Civic Type R's in the US for sale.

It seams like the best upgrade path for power will be a tune first and then upgrade intake / exhaust plumbing and intercooler if needed / desired. It is clear that a tune yields around a 60+ hp gain. But I am unclear about the gains from upgrading all of the intake / exhaust plumbing and...

Yep, they got two type R's in CW in last week. Was told they came off the truck Monday. I stopped by on Monday to check them out that day. My vin ends in 46. From what I was told, they didn't have a buyer for another CW one, ready to go so the other white one was going to another dealer, and...

MSRP on a CW. Dick Brooks Honda Greer, SC. Nik was my salesman. Good guy, good dealer. No BS.

I find it amazing, the arrogance of SoCal dealers. Or maybe the stupidity of some SoCal buyers? Just yesterday there was a new video from the youtube channel "Deliverd", where he is trying to buy a Type R in SoCal. One dealer wanted 23k above MSRP with the average dealer quoting + 10k. Do...
