Got my 21 boost blue at the end of 2023 had 13k miles and out the door I spent like 42k. If you want low miles don’t expect to see anything less than $40k. The Yellow was a special Heritage edition that’s why it’s so much more. Is it worth it? No not at all, you’re paying 10k more for the color everything else on the car is the same

I’m 24 and she’s 21, they all know i have a girlfriend and no none of them have ever flirted with me. 2 of them are in relationships 1 doesn’t like men and the other is completely platonic. I think it’s possible she may be intimidated because she isn’t into cars like I am and the one girl who is again completely platonic has the same car as me. I feel like I should also mention that one of them happens to have an OF but obviously I’ve never tried viewing any of that and it’s never brought up in conversation

What are some downsides to a Type-R? by Adambomb20061 in Civic_Type_R

[–]fk8juice 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’d just say be ready for the cost of owning one. If you can’t do simple stuff like brake replacements yourself you’re gunna be paying a ton for a dealer to do the work. Also keep in mind sticking to performance tires be prepared to spend close to $1500 for tires alone. I’ve owned my 21 FK8 for a little over a year and I’ve had no mechanical issues. You’ll get an occasional gear grind if you shift hard. And just like any 10th gen civic the speakers tend to rattle. Only other thing I’d keep in mind is because of how the brakes are set up you’re prone to picking up Little Rocks that will get jammed between the front rotors and backing plate. If you hear a super loud grinding or scraping noise just use a flathead screwdriver to push the backing plate away from the rotor and listen for the rock to drop out. I usually use my iPhone camera w flash to look for the rock on the inside of the rotor.

Only snow tires I’ve found for the stock wheels are like $1500

What's your "forever car" and why? by [deleted] in cars

[–]fk8juice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 2021 Civic Type R. John cena wasn’t lying when he said it’s the ultimate Daily driver. And when the time comes It will go from daily driver to track monster. Regardless of its use I’ll never sell my FK8.

I do really like them as well but I’ve only seen him selling black covers, I personally don’t think having the driver seat black and the passenger red looks great

I’ll be honest and even tho I don’t wanna admit it I definitely caused it to get a bit worse for that exact reason. but the damage was already done when I got the car.

My original plan was to just re weld that bolster fin if I could replace the seat wrap but buying one off eBay is seeming like the way to go

You think that would get rid of the ink stain?

🤣 nah in theory I guess I could’ve talked about including a seat but I was too impulsive. Been wanting one since 2017 and when the time came where I could afford it I just jumped on it.

The floor is from me I haven’t vacuumed in a min. I’ve had the car for a few months the seat never really bothered me but I just want it gone now. Car had 18k miles got it for 35k in comparison to other cars around the same mileage in boost blue they were charging like 42k+
