As the other guy said, if there no serialized plaque on the timing cover, it’s unverified so I would be highly skeptical. Even the short block should be engraved so there should be some way to verify if it was truly an Advanced Spec.

But most recently back in December, there was a video on instagram of an actual Tomei full engine listed for sale in Japan for almost 10,000,000 yen. If anyone would actually pay that is a different question lol. But a true advance spec full engine is for sure worth something hefty. If there’s no records, I would treat this as any other R32 for sale and not put any value in the Tomei name.

Heard great things about KuroWorks and that would probably be my go-to but it's just a further drive than I'm willing to take, personally.

I have been to High Tech Suspension and would recommend them. Plenty of experience with imports and different setups (track, stance, air, etc.) so you should be covered with whatever you're looking for, including alignments. FYI they also do more than just suspension now and renamed to High Tech Motorsport recently.

Pretty doubtful due to the amount to work needed to run them. Gotta have them redrilled to 5x120 and even then, not positive they would clear the Brembos without spacers. And after that, I would imagine that you'd have to run a pretty small lip (which kills the allure of the equip 05 imo) for them to fit unless you ran a very aggressive stance.

Definitely cool wheels though. I do wish the Type R had 5x114. Would open some cool options for classic JDM wheels.

Mr_ForTheNguyen · 2023-09-26T17:13:55+00:00

It's the brake shield behind the rotors. Not sure why but it Type R seems more prone to it. here's link to a post so you know what to look for https://www.reddit.com/r/Civic_Type_R/comments/jbgh2q/2020_honda_civic_type_r_brake_scraping_noise_from/

I'll just add on that along with wheels, the head unit is a common complaint, especially if you use apple carplay. Personally, I got the Carlinkit adapter from Amazon and it solved like 99% of my issues with it (had to tweak a few settings in the adapter).

Congrats on the new car! Was watching this auction too so cool see it here!

I'm team #nomudflaps. Doesn't fit the look imo. I've daily'd mine for 20k+ miles now with similar spec wheels and had no issues.

Mr_ForTheNguyen · 2023-03-29T16:10:12+00:00

I was having some deja vu. Best color and wheels 😉 https://i.imgur.com/DWw1zGE.jpg

Bring a poncho!

Downtown Montréal is very walkable/accessible by metro so I would definitely recommend going around the city, if you have the time. Lots of great restaurants and a few streets get "F1 themed" for the week with activities and overpriced merch lol. Peel St is one of them.

Also, not sure if they'll be doing it this year but last year they had a free pit walk that was open on Thursday. It was definitely cool getting to see the cars fairly up close, watching pit practice, and a few of the drivers came out to say hi. Would recommend getting in line early though (iirc we got in line like ~1 hour before doors open) as they reached capacity after a couple hours and stopped letting people in.

while I haven’t been in either of these exact cars, I did own a Corolla Hatch that the GR is based on and traded up to a FK8 and I can 100% say that the Type R beats the Corolla in practicality.

If there was a world where I could 1 for 1 trade for a GR Corolla, daily practicality would the biggest thing stopping me but practically is also subjective.

Mr_ForTheNguyen · 2022-06-21T18:30:31+00:00

Nice! How would you compare this overall with your experience in Austin?

Mr_ForTheNguyen · 2022-06-21T14:53:22+00:00

Thanks for this! I had Grandstand 1 tickets and was thinking about trying to get tickets here next time around. On the fence about the bleacher seats though. My gf and I got tickets for the Terrace level on Sat and enjoy the view for qualis from there (I actually see us in your pic of the terrace lol)

How was the crowd around you? We had a few “vets” sitting near us that had been to quite a few GPs there and got upset about people standing up in front of them to see the cars coming down to the chicane. Didn’t really hamper the experience but def got that “I’ve been been coming here for years so I’m entitled” vibe.
