  1. Model Year 2025 Civic Type R FL5 Shipments from Japan

    Seems at least two came in Quebec. Yours, and another one at Spinelli Honda (from the other thread). Didn't get a call from my Montreal south shore dealer yet though. Will give them a call today to follow up...
  2. Model Year 2025 Civic Type R FL5 Shipments from Japan

    I make sure I stay first. But then again, if they don't get the car, I'm first of nothing! Likewise, even if I'm first, they could "buy the car themselves", put some mileage on it and sell it at a higher price because it is used. How could I know if they do that? Hope for the best, and if I...
  3. Model Year 2025 Civic Type R FL5 Shipments from Japan

    Same boat as you. Guess when you have yours, I'll have mine too. I call my Honda dealer every now and then, and they seem to have no clue when they will get it (and even if they will get it). Management changed since my deposit... When they did the allocations, they were certain that they would...
  4. Hi all, New Type-R owner, Boost Blue

    Wish we could have these in Canada! Great color! Wish we could have more R in Canada anyway!
  5. Canadian dealer asked what colour Type R I want

    They never called back. Super great service... I just left my name and to call back. And they didn't. Come on...
  6. Windshield costs

    Had to replace the windshield on my DE5 a couple of weeks ago. Got quoted 3500 $ from my Acura dealer, with calibration. Went to a small shop near me and paid 1065 $ for the windshield with calibration. Same brand as OE. Only problem I'm having is that the HUD is now blurry, so I stopped...
  7. Canadian dealer asked what colour Type R I want

    I tried calling, can't seem to speak to anyone. Left a message. Will see if they call back. But car is probably already sold.
  8. Canadian dealer asked what colour Type R I want

    I'm next. I'm second. The first one in line got his R in 2023. I was told at the beginning that the second R would come late, for sure a 2025 MY. But the new manager does not seem to have any info... Don't know what will happen with the Type S. It is my wife car. I'm driving a Honda Fit right...
  9. Canadian dealer asked what colour Type R I want

    Called my dealer as it seems some cars are getting in Canada. They still doesn't have one right now, and no type R until end of November (as far as they can see in the system)... Starting to think I'll never see my Type R...
  10. Canadian dealer asked what colour Type R I want

    But dellivery is complementary! :rolleyes:
  11. How confident are you about the security system on the Type R?

    OBD blocker, hidden kill switch, something like Lowjack or Tag (don't know what you have in the US), faraday pouch for the keys (one that is really working - to test it, put your keys in it and try to unlock your doors - shouldn't be able to), couple of Airtags hidden in the car, and a serious...
  12. I got the FL5 a little friend!

    Not all AP2 have VSA... The 2004 has the cable throttle and no VSA or traction control. Not sure about other AP2 years, but they slowly started adding stuff like drive by wire and VSA/TCS...
  13. I got the FL5 a little friend!

    Congrats! Having myself an AP2 (same color!), I recommend replacing the slave cylinder with an AP1, or remove the delay valve in the AP2 slave cylinder. Did you get a 2004 with the cable throttle instead of drive by wire throttle? Also, 2004 doesn't have any traction control (I think 2005 is...
  14. Model Year 2025 Civic Type R FL5 Shipments from Japan

    Don't think there is free maintenance on Hondas... Hell, in Canada we don't even have free maintenance on Acuras!
  15. Canadian dealer asked what colour Type R I want

    You're all lucky! Still waiting for mine...
  16. Road departure mitigation

    On the DE5, you need to turn it off using the right wheel on the steering wheel. If you turn it off in the infotainment screen, it'll turn back on every time you start the car.
  17. Rev Jump When Upshifting under Hard Acceleration

    Same thing for me. I hate it when the car does that! Looks like if I'm not able to shift correctly! Very anoying!
  18. Anyone with a block heater?

    Nobody lives in the north where it is cold, drives the FL5 in the winter and wants to protect the engine from cold starts?
  19. Canadian dealer asked what colour Type R I want

    I had confidence in my dealer, but the GM was replaced by another guy. Also, sales man that I had worked with is retired now. Each time I want to talk to the GM now, it takes about month so I can grab a hold on him. So not sure if I will ever be called for this car...
  20. What did you pay for your FL5?

    Lol, Quebec is 15 %!
