In Europe they are replacing the whole FL5 steering rack instead of adding grease + new spring. Does anyone know why that is different than the normal Civic?

No, S grade is white only. No other options.

I can also do that myself, removing the A/C and that does not cost me 7000 euros. It is then more or less the same as the S grade version. :)

The S-grade version is on the official price list in the Netherlands and in Germany: https://brochures.honda.nl/cars/prijslijst/civic-type-r/?page=2 https://broschueren.honda.de/cars/civic-type-r-preise-ausstattung-technische-daten/?page=4 Prices in the Netherlands are much higher due to...

You can still order a S-grade at the dealership here in Europe. It is a stripped down version (no A/C etc.), but no performance upgrades according to the dealership. So, same engine, same suspension, tires, brakes. The price is around 7k euro higher. So, why bother?

A new version for the FL5 is out. https://www.knfilters.com/33-5139-replacement-air-filter

There is a new version now for the FL5. 33-5139. It is a little bigger than the 33-2454. https://www.knfilters.com/33-5139-replacement-air-filter

No grinds yet and somehow I don't feel the clutch delay in the FL5 like I did in the Fk8 and Fk2. Strange.

In Europe we also have this annoying speed limit reminder using traffic sign recognition. I can turn off traffic sign recognition, but after every restart it turns on again. EU regulation, they said. I hope someone can figure out how to hack this. I think, Duca, you might have the same problem?

The dealer does not know more than we do, unfortunately. Honda did not provide any info to the dealerships besides the price. All in all it feels like Honda does not really want to sell this S grade version. It might take 1 to 2 years to get it, they said.

I cancelled the S grade order because it is taking too long to actually get it, and also because of the price difference of 7000 euro. I ordered the normal version instead.

The second engine is the 1.5L, not the k20C1
