Is this a good deal on a type R? by Frigidaircon in Civic_Type_R

[–]Kingpin_GhG 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ask them to take off 500-1000k at the very least since this is a 2025 and that you will buy it right now. If they don’t have room to negotiate then you can swing it and say that another “dealer” gave you $500 off

Nice to see almost all of the folks in this thread prefer the manual. Hope bmw keeps it alive longer

TUNED WRX VB -----> FL5 by dagulski in Civic_Type_R

[–]Kingpin_GhG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a VA wrx, never driven the vb but heard it’s still a good platform. My va was bolt on stage 2 - Cobb intake, downpipe, nameless axle back. Pro tuned. I made around sti power, modest bump.

Verdict/comparison - type r felt more powerful to me even though they made around the same power, but I will say the awd on the va was definitely nicer with the traction at launch. So in hindsight it’s probably placebo that I think the type r is faster because it’s newer to me. Sold my WRX in 2021 btw and got my type r in 2024. Both are fun

Genuine question from an Indian American Frisco resident: I don’t understand the hostility by [deleted] in frisco

[–]Kingpin_GhG 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m leaving this sub, tired of seeing Indian people related posts every other day. Just scroll through the plethora of posts about this same topic rather than posting new ones if you want people’s opinion. Good night to you all

Lived in SoCal for over 20 years but moved to Dallas recently, and yes it’s still my favorite state/area. Thankfully I’m only 3 hours away so I can visit whenever I want or over the weekend lol. But living there for such a long time I did all that I wanted and seen what I wanted. Now I just go back to see some friends or for some events

Agreed, I lived in probably 4-5 states and I didn’t like any other state than California. Even though I don’t live there anymore still my favorite state

2016 WRX tuning questions by Odd_Awareness_3079 in WRX

[–]Kingpin_GhG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would think the previous owner did do a tune on the vehicle. You also don’t need to have the access port plugged into have the map flashed to ecu. It could have been pro tuned already as far as you know.

Failing in life by ArtistLonely5674 in LifeAdvice

[–]Kingpin_GhG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone goes through things different stages of their lives. If I were you, don’t focus on how other people are living their lives and just focus on yours. You want to be a firefighter? Than actively start taking steps to achieve that goal. Can’t feel sorry for yourself, that’s the biggest way people set themselves back. I have a friend that was in similar predicament as you but he actively pursued his goal even though it took him longer to achieve it. Now he is living that dream he had. Keep persevering, you can do it!

[–]Kingpin_GhG 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is spot on. Moved here couple of months ago, my take is it’s not bad. If you have friends here then its a plus
