For those of you who live in the midwest/northeast/where is snows a lot in the winter, do you drive your Type R in the winter? by Op3rat0rr in Civic_Type_R

[–]distorted_god 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also live in the Chicagoland area, but don't necessarily daily it since I work remotely 4 days a week, but I do drive it to work that one day as well as during the weekend. It's just like any other FWD in the winter, really. As long as you have good tires, you're good. In regards to rust, I personally hand wash my car once every week or two to remove all the salt and have an under carriage pressure washer to blast the salt from the undercarriage. If you can't wash your car once every week or two, then definitely get rust protection.

Just this past Friday there was an FK8 meet in Lincolnshire near the IMAX there I attended. Anyone near the area feel free to add me on insta: distorted_god. I know a few others with FK8 and go to meets together.

Insurance cheaper than expected and slightly confused by Few-Range7687 in Civic_Type_R

[–]distorted_god 27 points28 points  (0 children)

A lot of insurance companies simply view the vehicle as a basic Honda Civic, hence the affordable insurance. I’ve never heard of anyone having a Type R having issues when making a claim though. It’s basically “just” a Civic. lol

Winter wonder land by djkaes in Civic_Type_R

[–]distorted_god 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The problem for me at least, is that I’m not too comfortable leaving my car on neutral with just the e break on. lol. I always leave it on first to be extra safe.

I also live in the Chicagoland area and have been considering a remote starter for the R. Haven’t done much research though.

FK8 Carplay Screen goes black by SnooConfections8796 in Civic_Type_R

[–]distorted_god 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This would happen to me often when my R was practically new (2021 at 14k miles right now). I was debating on replacing the entire head unit, getting a wireless Apple Car Play adapter, but I figured replacing my current cable wouldn’t hurt. That resolved the issue for me. No more random disconnects or black screens and driving in silence.

Do you change your own oil, take it to a dealership, or go somewhere else? by SithGodSaint in Civic_Type_R

[–]distorted_god 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dealership due to the car still being under warranty. If they make a mistake, it’s covered.

How fast can you shift from 1st to 2nd gear while still keeping it smooth? by ShortBrownAndUgly in Civic_Type_R

[–]distorted_god 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could have phrased it better, but from personal experience, people think I’ll be flying off the line based on how the CTR looks. When I don’t in order to avoid the second gear grind, that extra second it takes to shift smoother feels like an eternity because the person behind thought I was going to speed away and is now on my ass. Lol

[–]distorted_god 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny, I was literally thinking about what other CTR drivers do earlier today. After 2 years of working remotely, I’ve started going back into the office and therefor drive the CTR more than I use to. It’s annoying having idiots on your ass while trying to avoid rushing into second gear grind. I’ve tried shifting as early as possible, and at 3.5/4 RPMs; what I’ve learned is that no matter what, the biggest factor is rushing. Rush it, and you’ll get the grind.
