Had a GT2 in the past. Prefer this type R for my real world use. FWIW> welcome. I know the guy who started the rennlist thread really well. :)

I've gotten to 6500 miles and the 1 to 2 shift is not as nice as the others...not a grind, but not buttery nice....so I plan to change the fluid. For those with issue, the AC Delco seems like the best opion based on skimming a lot of posts (so not scientific at all. :) )

Thanks. In the picture I saw probably on this site, the shifter looked like an Acuity unit (it may have even said Acuity on it). I have an Acuity unit and it is amazing in the hand...regardless of how you get the part, would recommend it. Glad Honda is doing this. We all benefit (hope pricing...

30 dollars for 5 qts - valvoline restore and protect premium filter another 10 dollars maybe 15 my shop labor for 20 minutes about 40 dollars (they dispose of it...yes, I changed my own oil for years....ths is just easier and they inspect everything as they are OCD pros....). Done. OCI is...

I like them a lot. No scientific way to say the prevent or resist pothole damage. In theory they are stronger per gm of metal but there are fewer gms.... I do notice a little bit faster turn in/liveliness but frankly, it is perhaps mental as they only save 2-5 lbs/corner..

Wood knob....trust me.

Had the idea, designed it with JDC Customs iteratively....and then had JDC Customs make it for me....search here for the thread. It is ti and very much worth it imho. They are "good people" and the quality of the piece is amazing. Fit is perfect. They will sell you one...and you can get...

Wood shift knob on an acuity shifter with longer ss rod....every shift - better, not hot, not cold. Matters. Then cocomats...cars looks clean all the time inside.

Upholstery shops likely can "heat" your seats for a price....in my world, cloth seats don't really need heating....leather and vinyl do. But, if you wanted it...it is doable without trading a car and losing equity. Weight is probably 1 or 2 lbs...not a big deal...if that. They can fail/break...

The type R specific body panels may be an issue in 20 years...the civic parts probably less assuming Honda stays healthy. Agree with a lot in this thread - just use and enjoy the car. Take good care of it for sure...but it is a Honda Civic factory tuner.

Yes, my every day - stock power, stock suspension, rear motor mount forged OEM wheels (OEM wheels have pilot alpins on them) carbon wing (OEM) wunderladen dispstick, oil cap, coolant tank coco mats acuity shifter, stiffest springs, longer ss rod, Tokyo skateboard knob, custom shift cut out in...

This was in a thread a while back...Honda dealer price can be over a 100 less per tire.....no promises but do check....

Solution: top tier speed shop gets HRC approval to do a formal package...perhaps HRC. Person pays real cost, say another 50k. That's it. Maybe a warranty...probably not. The market is tiny. The rest of us just do minor reliability mods and have fun. Probably under 5k per car for the latter...

My OEM one is perfect and recent....the original post images look like replica's to be of low quality. Good luck.

Just fyi - after getting a sample sheet, the fabric at Sunvisor Solutions that seems to match the FL5 sunvisor is called (at least for a 2025) 4184 Jet Black https://sunvisorsolutions.com/ I have nothing to do with the company. Just wanted to share a data point.

If you can afford it, get the R. Both are great cars. The R is for me equal to a Porsche for fun. The Si is not even close in this regard.

Used Pilot Alpin 5's last winter. Great tire. Quiet. Not as sharp as a summer tire, but pretty good...and no worries in the very cold. On original wheels. OEM sized...perhaps the only tire you can get in 265-30-19 btw. Supposed to be far better than all seasons in snow....probably true but...

If it gets cold where you live....not a great solution. Had an antigravity in another brand of car....the car failed to work with it. Had to return it. Antigravity was great about it all.

I drive it every day....heated steering wheel is way better than seats...trust me. And fabric is far less "cold" than leather, so it is not bad in the winter imho. Wood knob is way better than metal winter (and summer)... Etc. I like the stock R suspension in sport so go figure. The exhaust -...

Yes, it is well worth it. Then the knob. The acuity longer rod. Then the JDC custom shift plate.
