I have the module, but haven't installed it as I have grown to appreciate the bounciness of the CTR. I have a better appreciation of what the lead engineer was trying to accomplish. I have also driven the ITS a few times and yes it is more compliant, but CTR feels more untamed because of the...

Cause you drive it properly! These cars can be driven hard. They're made to be driven hard. You just need to drive them properly. If you rocking the clutch to stay in place on a hill, that's not good. If you dump the clutch on take off, that's not good. There's almost no clutch wear...

I have driven manual since I was 17. I am 57 now. Never burned out a clutch or bearing. Clutches last a long time if you're driving correctly. My last car was a 6-spd manual '04 330i. I didn't replace the clutch until I cleared 100k miles.

Fair point. I don't stay on the clutch at light or if traffic has stopped as I mentioned. I will put in neutral. But, my left foot is almost always hovering over the clutch ready to depress it depending on driving conditions.

No, its not "riding" the clutch if the clutch is "fully" depressed. At this point, the clutch is disengaged. However, if you only depress the clutch lightly so its still partial engaged, then you're "riding" the clutch and that will give you a smell like burning brakes. You don't want that...

yes, it will always be a bit jerky. There is a bit of rev hang between shifts. It is inherent to manuals and part of the joy - trying to nail a perfect shift. Comes with practice of managing the clutch, shifting at the optimal revs and managing the gas pedal all in a coordinated manner...

I never "downshift" to 1st. Before a turn you want to "engine" brake, meaning downshift before the turn likely to 2nd, then drive through the turn. Use the brake and push in the clutch if you need to slow further, then release the clutch while still in 2nd and continue going forward. If you...

You have to feather the clutch a bit while giving gas. The bite point is not very obvious. Reminds me a motorcycle.

I daily mine. It's perfect. Some don't like the bounciness of the suspension module, but I really like it. Once you get your seating position optimized and the steering wheel adjusted, driving the car is like being in a cockpit. Everything is exactly where it should be. If the bounciness...

Starting on an uphill incline like going into a parking deck or a hill with a stop light takes some finesse. That's probably the trickiest thing to navigate with a manual. I probably use a little more gas than normal on an incline because I don't want to stall if some one is behind me riding...

I LOVE this car! It is a special vehicle and you soon realize it is purpose built for people who love to drive. The feedback is exceptional - steering input, brake feel, shifter and the most flat car I have ever driven when taking turns. Crazy how flat and firm this car holds its position on...

They also replace the tension spring; not just grease added. I had a '23 BMW 240i before the CTR. That car had a "thump" noise on the right rear side. Numerous owners have the problem and BMW hasn't addressed it. Since BMW wouldn't correct the problem, I traded it in. Also, I greatly missed...

Much lighter! I have my steering set to R mode now and it's very light compared to prior to the recall repair. Nonetheless, it's effortless now and more enjoyable as the wheel returns to center on its own since the fix.

2024 bought new last August. Has 5k miles as of today. Not lowered. Completely stock.

I had the recall done today. Steering night and day different. Returns to center naturally. Rotated the wheel is much easier. Glides effortlessly. Also, had oil changed and tires rotated. My right front shock is leaking so they ordered me a new one. Covered by warranty. Crazy the...

Taking mine in tomorrow for the recall and an oil change in Miami. This should be quite the experience! Everything in Miami a dumpster fire on the service side. Thank god for the weather! LOL

I would have a professional, reputable detailer do a paint correction and ceramic coat. I would skip waxing. Really, need a reputable detailer to give you a reality check on what can be done and what you should expect of the results.

I read posts like this and I want to vomit. So sorry this happened to you. Find a top notch detailer and ask them what can be done. Don't let the tint guy use his detailer. See if you can get some cash from the tint guy and get the F away from him. Why the f he takes it upon himself to...

You might try this adjustment. I have some clunky/tumbling feeling with some shifts that wasn't there before. Others have said the following adjustment improved things for them: https://www.civicx.com/forum/threads/clutch-pedal-adjustment-gear-grind-fix.42528/

NVM. I found a video explaining the adjustment. Looks pretty easy. I will give that try. Also, here's the video... https://www.civicx.com/forum/threads/clutch-pedal-adjustment-gear-grind-fix.42528/
