  1. Burning smell after a full throttle pull

    It could be the smell of the engine breaking in. The only cars I bought new were my GT350 and the CTR. Whenever I came home I noticed a heavy oil burning smell from the engine. The CTR smell wasn't as strong (smaller engine) but its would give off that particular smell of a new engine thats...
  2. HRC Parts Officially Coming for Civic Type R (Available March 2027)

    Too bad nothing from HRC addresses that problem
  3. Replacing brake pad and rotor on FL5 Civic Type R - experience and tips

    Did you bleed your brakes too? I bled mine last year before I started tracking it. I don't track anymore but still have the old brake fluid in it and need to bleed them at some point. Have you found an easier way to do it? I remember buying like 3 different brake bleeders and just having so...
  4. Replacing brake pad and rotor on FL5 Civic Type R - experience and tips

    Just a tip. Were you using the Brembo brake punch? Its a little pricy, I think it was like $20 or something but it shouldn't give you want problems. I was debating about getting it because of the cost when I first did my brakes and went with it, might make it easier for you next time.
  5. Updated 2027 Civic Type R Gains Sharper Performance, New Meteorite Gray Color, Heated Seats, More Standard Tech; Arriving Soon

    The product planners for these cars should be fired honestly. I remember when the ITS came out everyone was lushing over the exhuast and how it gad larger diameter exhuast valves and a deleted resonater pipe for the exhuast. But then they dialed it back giving it more create comforts and...
  6. Updated 2027 Civic Type R Gains Sharper Performance, New Meteorite Gray Color, Heated Seats, More Standard Tech; Arriving Soon

    I wonder how much these new features will increase the weight. The cosmetic changes aren't really significant and kind of a downgrade in some cases. It seems like the new engine cover was done to cut costs, the new one looks lame af and I wouldnt be surprised if we see people trying to put on...
  7. Updated 2027 Civic Type R Gains Sharper Performance, New Meteorite Gray Color, Heated Seats, More Standard Tech; Arriving Soon

    Wouldn't the black plastic dash fade faster than the Alcantara? For the rev match, the system is kind of weird and is a bit glitchy, so I wonder if they made a software update for it. For the pedal feel, I do wonder what was changed. Hopefully @savagegeese will be able get better details
  8. Updated 2027 Civic Type R Gains Sharper Performance, New Meteorite Gray Color, Heated Seats, More Standard Tech; Arriving Soon

    This honestly is really nothing to brag about and is a good thing in a performance car. For a regular car then yeah its good but this is all for emissions. One of the reasons why these cars struggle with overheating and need more cooling like the dual oil coolers and upgraded radiator is...
  9. Replacing undertray fasteners

    Are you sure? I never needed a JIS Screwdriver for the stock fastener. Only needed it for the screw containing the MAF Sensor and the rear rotor retaining screw
  10. Civic Type R FL5 HRC Concept - New Video

    Any updates for the 2027 MY? I thought there was going to be a refresh
  11. DSC Sport Controller Suspension Module

    What was wrong?
  12. Market for a more extreme Type R variant

    I made a post years ago outlining the mods on the FK8 TC, FL5 TCR and the DE5 TCX car. If you search on my profile you could find some good information about it if you are curious. The TCR brochure is kind of for a general TCR car though, because there are different TCR Leagues there are...
