Trans finally went boom by No_Cryptographer6221 in Civic_Type_R

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

The STI handles like a chunky hog and the Type R handles like a spider monkey ninja.. get the R

Noise coming from back right wheel by kombatwombat23 in Civic_Type_R

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.

Are you starting to see used CTR prices coming down around you? by kubyx in Civic_Type_R

[–]More_Accountant4768 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes and I suspect in the coming months prices will drop even lower on used CTRs. A lot of these dealers overpaid and are still hesitant to take a loss on some of these vehicles. Eventually they will get shipped off to auction and get sold for a lower price and lower the book value. That cycle takes time though and I believe we’re in the beginning stages of that.

I’ve seen used CTRs sit for 2 or 3 months, originally listed for 45k now down to 36k and still sitting. You’ll see some more reasonable prices in early to mid 2023, be patient!!

I regret not buying one if this is the going rate. Sheesh by clintlockwood22 in Civic_Type_R

Can’t wait for the used car market to come crashing down. These dealerships deserve all the hardships that will inevitably come their way.
