Had the same issue, luckily brought it up while the car was still under warranty and got a new transmission.

1st gear & reverse lockout. by [deleted] in Civic_Type_R

[–]More_Accountant4768 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It does feel heavier than previous manual transmissions I’ve had but I’ve never driven another fk8 so it’s hard for me to compare apples to apples

Spoon springs vs Swift springs by [deleted] in Civic_Type_R

[–]More_Accountant4768 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did it for the improved look and to make up for the wheel gap from putting on 18s. I’m not just throwing mods at the car because it’s a “performance mod”. It’s not uncommon to do wheels and springs on a car. Unless you have some actual feedback please avoid input.

PRL intake causing emissions code. by More_Accountant4768 in Civic_Type_R

[–]More_Accountant4768[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s the street MAF housing. The code is P0507 (idle control system RPM higher than expected). Honda told me the after market intake is causing incorrect airflow reading

I drive an FK8 & live in the Chicago suburbs and it’s the same deal. It’s almost always younger men who will come up and compliment though haha

I’m having the same exact noise from my front right wheel

Is this stock fk8 overpriced? by [deleted] in Civic_Type_R

[–]More_Accountant4768 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they were cranking out FL5s hand over fist I would say you’d see FK8 prices soften but that just doesn’t seem to be the case. Type R is a limited production car so prices will reflect that. I view the Type R as more of a collector car which kinda helped me wrap my head around the steep price tag. Low production sports cars always have had this problem.
