I originally had my door locking set so I could lock it by touching the door handle, but then thought the auto locking feature sounded better. I set it for auto locking and it works better for me ... but only when it actually works. The problem is; I'll close the door and it hesitates and...

Just wondering. I've heard of Honda dealers running the cars around the block or worse after oil changes. They sure did when I bought my car with 7 miles. I picked it up with 15 miles, not an oil change but supposedly bringing the car back from detailing. If I use the recommended spec oil and...

.... will stiffer motor mounts help? Anything else? Traction control on or off? Tire pressure adjustments or different compound tires other than the factory Michellins? Mine seems to hop no matter what.

I keep my key in one of those Faraday pouches... they don't exactly block the signal but impede it hopefully enough where someone can't intercept and copy it. Do you think in general the Type R security is sufficient or is more needed to make it totally theft proof (short of someone loading it...

... assuming I drive the same pre tune vs post tune (and we know I probably won't). The reason I asked is; I have a Vdub GTI that tuned to stage 2 and the normal transportation style driving fuel economy actually increased 1-2 mpg (35 mpg). The Unitronic stage 2 tune advertised fuel...

Yeah, I know, it's a road race car, not a straight line race car, but still 1/4 mile racing is a good indicator of the power to weight ratio (via trap speed). I'm going to run mine later this month when the air cools down a bit to see what she will do. The prob with this car is; every shift...

I wish the type R came with driving lights and was eyeballing those slots on the front bumper. I don't know if there are any aftermarket lights for the car but it would be nice if someone would come up with something. Anyone else feel the same? :(

With all the aggressive drivers out there, I'm thinking it's a good idea to add one. Video might come in handy for an accident or hit and run. Has anyone added one to their CTR? If so can you share which brand you chose and your experience with it so far?

I'm curious about the power levels that can be attained with a stock tune by simply running different grades of gasoline such as; 87, 89, 91, 93 and even high octane aviation fuel/race gas if anyone has ever looked into it. I've searched but could only find a few basic dyno results on 91 vs 93...

I never cared for the valved exhaust and the triple uneven exhaust design, so it was time to change it out. I know Honda has to pass Federal sound levels but it just doesn't look/sound very good. This is the monstrosity that lurks under the Honda, all 26 pounds worth. The main exhaust pipe is...

I stumbled across this video on Youtube and found it to be interesting. It's amazing how many of the body and frame processes are fully automated.

My car is sitting because I don't have any title to purchase tags. My 45 day tag has expired. Honda Credit doesn't give you much information on this kind of thing. :(

... smashing into and damaging the aluminum fins? Just wondered. I had a big rock hit my windshield about 2 weeks ago from a passing gravel truck. It didn't break it, but it hit hard. Something like that smacking the intercooler or radiator might not be a good thing. If anyone has addressed...

.... so I can remove the rear carpet and folding panels?

What do you like about the color you got? ... and was it your first choice? Post a picture of your car if you have a pic. What location (State or Country) are you in? Thanks for voting in the poll! I'm in Ohio I would have gone with a white or red but found a black which I like.

I know back in the day with the old rear wheel drive cars and no accessory load, it was measured as crankshaft horsepower but moving forward, I found an interesting video from Hondata where they run a wheel horsepower baseline on a non-modified FL5 type R and it exceeded the factory ratings...

I found this (older) oil filter study to be interesting (link at the bottom) and settled for the Purolator Pure one filter for the car that I was driving at the time; an Acura RSX type S... K20A2. I found the oil was still fairly clean looking after running about 7K miles. In other words it...

Here is my list ... Like 1. Easily the best handing car I've ever owned! 2. The low and aggressive look of the smooth flared fenders, fat tires and wing is great. 3. Best manual transmission I've even owned. 4. The steering and suspension seems to read your mind. 5. The balance of the car...

... for the US market (and for other countries as well if anyone knows)? Also, if you can, list your plaque # ... that might give us somewhat of total as well? Thanks. Mine is a 2024 / R-19,878 - USA
