    What do these weigh?

  2. What did you pay for your FL5?

    I'd recommend waiting, but 1st tell us all where we can find a RR at MSRP please!!

  3. Type R (or soon-to-be Type R) owners, what else did you drive?

    1989 240SX - Sold for ~$2k if only I'd of known then what I know now!! 1991 Hyundai Excel... Ouch 1996 Integra 2002 Tacoma 4x4 2000 Integra 2000 CR-V 1999 Mustang GT 1988 Corolla 5spd - Tried like hell to blow this one up 1996 Miata 1986 Ranger 4x4 1999 CR-V 5spd - probably the best car I've...

  4. I'm about to pull what's left of my hair out researching 18" wheels and tires for this car.

    I'll make it really easy for you... follow his lead. I went with the same spec and its perfect and cheap. https://www.civicxi.com/forum/threads/winter-wheels-tires-setup-fl5-type-r.52822/

    Any higher-mileage Type R owners here who daily it as their only car, or plan to?

    You've been asking this question since you bought the car and very likely well before it. The answer has been given multiple times and that was pretty clear that no one knows. Even if there were multiple hundred-thousand mile examples of type R's out there the reality is that within all...

    Any higher-mileage Type R owners here who daily it as their only car, or plan to?

    I vote for selling it and going back to the miata. We'll all miss you.

  7. New 24 CTR Factory Paint Defect?

    Can I send you a DM? I'm have an arbitration hearing with Honda on 9/7 for lemon law on a 2024 Civic Touring. Curious to know what process you went through.

  8. Aftermarket tire experience

    The original DWS06 definitely had a squishy feel to them which I didn't like. However, the new DWS06+ has remedied that feeling for the most part.

  9. Asked a Honda engineer about the factory fill and whether there was any benefit to keeping it in longer

    where did I say a couple of hundred?

  10. Gear shift knob cover to beat the heat

    This was like $6 on Amazon. Ridiculous... yes. Effective.. also yes.

  11. Asked a Honda engineer about the factory fill and whether there was any benefit to keeping it in longer

    I asked a trusted Honda tech years ago about what he thought about the maintenance minder intervals and got a surprisingly simple answer. He asked what the oil on the dip stick looked like at 3k, 5k, or 7k miles, etc. If it looks dirty change it regardless of the oil life remaining on the dash...

  12. Required Fuel Type

    Mine has 87 minimum printed on the gas cover, but states 91 is recommended. I'd be willing to bet just about anything that dealers are putting in 87 during the PDI.

  13. Need to push the clutch all the way to the floor?

    It's pretty simple to test where the clutch is fully disengaged. Put the car in 1st gear and slowly release the clutch while your foot is on the brake. When the clutch makes contact with the flywheel the RPM will start to drop. but.... as others have said why not just push it to the floor and...

  14. Paint issues

    Looks like residual adhesive/plastic from the protective coating that's applied at the factory

  15. FL5 Vanity Plate Hall of Fame

    shamelessly stolen from a different site....

  16. Catastrophic Engine Failure

    2024 honda 5,000 miles... not my type R, but also absolutely not uncommon on new Honda's. I honestly hate saying it, but the quality is seriously in decline.

  17. Catastrophic Engine Failure

    I love my type R and have owned over 20 Honda's, but the new ones aren't what they were in the 90's-2000's. I also have a 22 mustang cs/gt premium and this view gets reinforced every time I drive the Ford. It's significantly ahead of honda in fit, finish, and overall build quality. Even my GF...

  18. Do you finance, lease or own your Type R?

    Ohio, 43, and paid off. The super simple answer is I'll only finance if the rate is less than I'm earning from the same capital invested. Rates were insane when I bought and inflation was destroying the value of cash. Figured I'd buy now before they got more expensive and I had even less buying...

  19. Reducing Under Hood and Intake Temperatures

    I've had 2 new mustangs. 2021 6spd, and 2022 A10. Both absolutely flawless. The CTR is awesome but nowhere near the build quality of the Fords. I hate to say it because I'm Honda guy through and through, but the new ones just aren't on the same level as what they used to be.

  20. Break in period (make me feel good)

    Couldn't agree more. The shit manufacturers do for torture testing and vetting of engines before sending them out to consumers is absolutely wild. (Ford's was pretty well documented on the 5.0, and I'm pretty certain Honda isn't doing less.. lol) Will defects happen? Absolutely, but to think...
