Not defending it but supply and demand is nothing new and people/businesses will capitalize on it.

There's zero torque steer in stock form, so no need to worry about getting plowed by a Type R...hell I'd be more scared of regular Civics considering the demographic that buys them.

Or Corollas.

how dare you bad mouth us rolla drivers.. We are the safest on the road! right up there with old lady in beige camry.

talking to honda this morning you can put your name down and still get one

you can always put your name down and put a deposit.
i had my name since MAY, and i am #6.

a dealer will get 1 or 2, so #6 is 2018/ 2019

[VR6GTI]

Hmm they said i would get it right away with the first delivery this year also price is low 40's

Talked to Honda HQ ? or a regular Saleperson at Honda Dealership ?

First allocations to be dropped off for the week of 10th of July. Then September, then October... 1 unit per month per dealer Black or White only for MY2017

Anyone think the new ctr's are going to get stolen and stripped for their engines like the itr's did?

[Hehe]

IMHO, Honda should come out and deal with all the craze before everything goes too far. They are not like Ferrari or Lambo who don't mid the "exotic" status. CTR is a car to bring that performance image back to Honda, not making it exotic.

They should man up and do like Dodge is doing with Demon, dealers could sell at over MSRP if they want, but they would get the last allocation while dealers selling at MSRP would get priority.

[PDKGD3]

Just spotted a black one going down Patterson, still had all the plastic wrap and the foam on it.

Someone going for a joy ride?

I guess that's Open Road Honda's first delivery since that is the closest dealer in the area.

[twitchyzero]

no

because immobilizer

and these parts will be so specific it's a dead giveaway they are stolen...in the old days you could probably try to say it's from Japan and no one would bat an eye

and with old B-series era parts it could fit on so many models, preludes, civics, accords, etc

i believe these parts will have a much narrow spectrum of models they'll be able fit on

i don't think they honestly give a shit

a type R is a halo product, like NSX
it's meant to sell more Civics, not build more limited runs of the track-oriented cars..i don't think it was meant to be accessible to the guy looking at the Honda HR-V then sees the CTR and wants to upgrade

and bad PR is still PR

[twitchyzero]

also remember the DC2 ITR was a loss leader

at 33k, wouldn't surprise me if they're losing money again or breaking-even..the money they dumped into making it the FWD 'ring leader took quite a few years. I remember reading about it back in 2011-ish

they'll probably try to stick a detuned version of the K-engine into an Accord coupe or something...oh god maybe a 2-door Acura, please do that

[inv4zn]

^It's already confirmed the 2.0T from the R will be the next powerplant for the 10th gen Accord.

[Badhobz]

WTF the ITR was a loss leader?! wow. That thing didnt even have A/C how the hell do they lose money on it?

the use of more expensive materials (bushings, aluminum, sometimes forged components) , extra labor (hand ported intake ports on ITR / extra machine work on late models) more welds, more hardware (recaro, momo steering wheel, stickier tires)


at least the original one was much more special that way as they have to do so much more during the production.

[Badhobz]

That being said those longshoremen who drive the vehicles off the ships arent exactly known to be gentle with vehicles. They operate on a quit system so as soon as they are finished off loading X amount of vehicles they go home. This usually means turn key, gas like a maniac, brake hard, and then turn off the car all before it was properly warmed up.

any ideas if there quite a few weight reduction/chassis reinforcement on this new one?

all i've read about is fancy aero and a nice turbo

[tofu1413]

not sure about the new one.



they gave a chart on the old ITR though :lawl:

Interesting to see a lot of Civic Type R's new from dealers are going for around 60k CAD on ebay

2017 Honda Civic Type R | eBay (http://www.ebay.ca/itm/201972084146?_trksid=p2380057.m570.l5999&_trkparms=gh1g%3DI201972084146.N36.S1.R1.TR3)

I am kind of torn on dealers selling over MSRP. If they are forced to sell at MSRP many will be flipped by the first buyer anyway.

[see.lai]

Unfortunately, I didn't have much time to test drive it.. only went around the block.

It feels really great, can practically start the car in 3rd lol..

And the black Type R is not a customer's.. already stated it's Honda Canada's Vehicle - > will be at that warehouse in Richmond.
Found out that it will also be a press car; so people like Vancouver Sun or Province or whatever will get to rip in it.
source ( multiple managers ).

They're not letting employees buy it because they don't want to give discounts for limited edition cars. We're probably getting like 3-4 this year.
2018 will be way more.

Are these numbers real life?

Besides racing from a dig, these numbers crush the STI, RS, and R.

[iforyou]

I'm not sure what you mean by if the numbers are real life. But Car and Driver and most other magazines have a specific way of testing cars to ensure numbers are comparable to one another. From time to time there are ringers or outliers though.

With that said, someone pulled Car and Driver's test numbers for other cars in this class:

I just didn't expect the CTR to blow away the competition like that, and the 0-60 in 4.9? That's crazy for FWD.

[roastpuff]

That 0-130mph number... and the 1/4 mile trap... and the top gear 30-50/50-70 numbers are all so impressive.

So is the braking.

Hidden strengths?

Yea, and these numbers are done with the stock tires, not some track tires like Micheline Sport Cup 2 lol.

Looking to get inTo a civic si. Anyone know any Honda sales guys. Destination Honda in Burnaby would be great it's the closest one.

[320icar]

I kinda don't trust those numbers. What's the curb weight

[jasonturbo]

Spotted a CW CTR on the top deck of a car hauler rolling down HWY 2 this afternoon.

Looked pretty good to me :)

I then called my Honda guy about the car, I guess I'm no longer at the top of the list, I'm simply on the list, and his GM isn't sure what he wants to do with the car.

Fags.

The car that dealer is black, so meh, I would really only want a CW.

Plus I still struggle with why anyone would buy the CTR over a Gilf R... maybe driving one will change my mind.

[iforyou]

I kinda don't trust those numbers. What's the curb weight

Curb Weight Figures for the above cars:
WRX STI: 3402lb
Golf R 6MT: 3329lb
Focus RS: 3459lb
Civic Type R: 3111lb

Notice how the Civic is at least 200lb lighter than the next closest competitor. And it's a good 350lb lighter than the Focus RS.

Gotta keep in mind the following with any magazine test numbers, including Car and Driver:


They do a 3ft rollout for 0-60mph (i.e. timer does not start until the car moves 3 feet away)

They eliminate the effects of weather on performance by using proprietary empirical correction factors to adjust all results to dry air at 14.7 psi and 60 degrees Fahrenheit

To cancel the effects of the wind, all acceleration tests are run in both directions; the best runs in each direction are then averaged

For manual cars, they try different runs with different launch rpm. For instance, for something like the S2000 or WRX STI, they launch these with a 6000rpm clutch dump. No power shifting or speed shifting involved.

For manual cars, they experiment with shifting at redline and short shifting.

For automatic cars, they use brake torquing or launch control. This is especially helpful for turbocharged cars as they can build up the turbo boost before launch, eliminating any turbo lag

Which dealer is that?

I think people would choose the Golf R because:

German Engineering
More understated, classy styling
AWD for 0-60mph and poor weather
Arguably nicer interior

[Hehe]

I think I saw a black one today near Richmond automall with dealer plate hanging and plastic still on many parts. Absolutely gorgeous in person. If it wasn't a Type R, it sure was a nice bodykit.

[AzNightmare]

Which dealer is that?

I think people would choose the Golf R because:

German Engineering
More understated, classy styling
AWD for 0-60mph and poor weather
Arguably nicer interior


While the CTR is way overdone, the Golf R is way too subtle for the performance it has. The inner child of me could never do it. Personally, if I'm buying a fast car, it should look fast.

But I can see why people would want the R if they prefer a sleeper with more class. Plus, it also comes with DSG.

[jcmaz]

A lucky owner just picked one up today at the auto mall! Pic spoilered since it's massive in size...

unless similar plates, it's spoon.ek9's....it's a conversion and not RHD though

[mb_]

Did you confirm if it's RHD?

If it wasn't, sounds like it's spoon.ek9

[GS8]

Oh I think subconsciously I might have thought RHD as I walked by because of how nice it looked. Had one red seat that I could see. It was bright out at the time hence my illiterate description lol.

Parked on Azure Rd Tues morning.

[teggy604]

whens the RS summer meet? Lets see how many Type Rs show up.

[white rocket]

I've seen a LHD CTR rep driving around Richmond with gunmetal ITR 15's on it. It's Type R decaled and everything. It looks REALLY clean. Perhaps that's the one begin discussed. Spoon.ek9 has the blue Cusco cage, white RG's, etc so it's a bit more noticeable.

[hal0g0dv2]

one just landed in vic, white

[UnknownJinX]

Type R has nice performance, but I can't imagine myself in one. It has too much of that boy racer vibe.

In the US, I heard someone bought the first Type R there for US$200k... Some people...

That was also for charity (Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation) so I dont really see that as too much of a surprise. You get what you want and you're helping people in need. I think its a fair trade if you have that much money to blow

[tofu1413]

My 20 year old self says yes yes yes to the new CTR. Current self says nope, you ain't a boy racer no more :okay:


Cool car nonetheless

[jasonturbo]

It's funny how many people had deposits at Honda dealers in small towns, Edson AB Honda had three deposits.

I still have a chance of getting a white one.. just waiting to hear back.

I would NEVER EVER pay over MSRP for one, this is just like the Focus RS launch, a few retards will pay over MSRP and then just a couple months after launch there will be tons of them for sale.

[tegra7]

I'm sure dealers will sell them for MSRP once they start piling up on their lots.

[320icar]

And lots of sports cars as well when they were first launched, like the FR-S and FD RX-7.

Just wait and the price will drop to an acceptable level.

the car that I see a dozen times each day? :whistle:

[UnknownJinX]

the car that I see a dozen times each day? :whistle:
Well, a guy on the Accord forum I go to said he almost did when the FR-S first came out in 2013. Ended buying an Accord Coupe V6 6-speed though because it's more practical.

FR-S/BRZ/86 is pretty common, but nothing like Mustang common here. I actually wanted one, but ultimately went with an RX-8 because it has more spacious rear seats and is rarer.

[teggy604]

I thought the Type R was a limited production car? unlike the STI, Golf R, and Focus RS. So dealers wont have any on the lot. Most likely if you are not the top 3 on the waitlist you probably wont see one until a few years later.

off topic, but same deal right now with ford raptor. Dealership by my gym sold two raptors last week too a couple of Asian kids from van. They paid 12 and 13k over msrp

the pair of raptors are probably headed for china where they'll go for 2-3x the price

[donjalapeno]

Dunno how i feel about it. Its cool for sure but just to much going on. Especially the back. The wheels are ridiculously sunk too lol

[ZN6]

Does the vent or the ducts have any function to them? I'm guessing no. I have a strong dislike to shit on a car that doesn't do anything like it was a stick on vent from lordco or something.

It's like the designers wanted to make the car look super aggressive, but then the engineers said, "Fuck no, that'll let in rain, rocks and moisture and decreases the longevity of the car."

And then they decide to fake it so that it appeases the engineers and designers. Like a sound tube or engine noise through the stereo so you can hear the induction noise.

[Spectre_Cdn]

The front and rear vents/grilles that are on all of the models only serve an aesthetic purpose, but the rest is there for a reason: Car and Driver (http://www.caranddriver.com/flipbook/against-the-wind-all-the-2017-honda-civic-type-rs-aero-bits-explained)

[iforyou]

Top Gear just did publish their comparison test between the new CTR, Focus RS, Golf R, and Cupra 300. They declared the CTR as the winner based on the fact that it's the most fun to drive, most capable, with ride comfort and refinement matching the Golf R. It also won praises for its gearbox, driving position, overall practicality, etc. The only downside is actually the engine as it has a little bit more turbo lag than the VW 2.0T.

“Honda has somehow broadened the Civic’s repertoire at both ends – it’s scalpel-sharp yet an accomplished cruiser”

If you are interested to read it, you can download it via the Zinio App.

[AzNightmare]

You'll either love or hate the Type R's design. They didn't play it safe by going subtle. That being said, all the aesthetics are there for a legit performance purpose, so I'm good with that. I don't count the vents/grill because those are already on the base civic so it wasn't Type R additions. (It's still a Civic after all).

Sounds like this car has some fine engineering in it.

[donjalapeno]

The front right (passenger) vent is functional. So is the hood scoop and side vents. The rear and drivers side vents are not functional. I know its weird but its true.

EDIT: Jgresch's post hit the nail on the head.

This will be a very cool car if i was 18... i have already been through this process when i got the Ep3 near new ...15 years ago..

if i do get it, it will be a DD hauling a family of 2 kids. and i would have to give up my MDX for it. and wifey will be driving it 1/2 the time taking the kids to school.


i might just give up my spot.. luckily the dealer i dealt with provided a refundable deposit as an option

Whole video has nothing to do with the Type-R car in particular.
He just kept whining about the relationship between car manufacturers and car reviewer in general...and Honda as a brand going down hill..etc etc

I feel like he has never even driven the car..the stuffs he said (whether true or not) has nothing to do with this car.

Basically a click bait with a catchy titles.

i'm pretty sure he hasn't. I've watched his other car reviews before and when he has actually driven them its different. he does go off on tangents and bitches about industry things in those too, but he does talk about the cars more.

He's also a bit of a subaru fanboy (hence the references to the sti moreso than other type r competitors).

[pherio]

Saw a White one last night on Lougheed HWY, probably turning to goto Costco. Doesn't look too outlandish from the front.

[ScratchedMy991]

I visited a dealership with the intention of leaving a deposit to join a waiting list, thinking that there was surely no chance to get one this year, but perhaps next. After being shown two models that had apparently already been sold but would not be delivered to their owners until the dealership moves to its new location, I was also told that joining the dealership's waiting list would mean I MAY be able to have one in 2020, and that the salesperson wasn't even sure if the dealership was taking any more deposits.

Something smelled rotten.

I took a quick look at the Si, then stopped for the salesperson running after me in the parking lot, only to be told that if I was serious about the car, I could leave my contact information for a potential auction the dealership would have for the cars.

"I thought you said the cars were sold?"

"Yes, to our GM."

While some of you ballers may easily look past these sort of pathetic, limp wristed twaddle techniques to extract us from our hard-earned cash, this dealership will never have my business again (I bought my first car - *sniff* - from it).

Tell them they can screw themselves!

I went to Kingsway Honda and there was a black type R on the show room floor. It was sold of course. Sales guy said it sold for around $60,000.

[ScratchedMy991]

^
We should be questioning why these cars that have already been sold are still sitting on showroom floors, and how that thing sold for way over MSRP when Canadian dealers are (apparently) not permitted to do so.

Salespeople have, undoubtedly, been told to size up clientele as potential CTR customers before fully disclosing what's really going on behind the scenes in selling these things.

[GIZZ]

Honda needs to put a stop to allowing store employees to buy for resale.

Id imagine if a Mercedes sales manager did that with a car in demand he'd be looking for a new job!

Some high end manufactures have a no broker, no resale policy. Buy the car, sign a contract to own for a year. Sounds legit to me. Let the enthusiast buy the car, don't let these curbers drive up the prices. What makes me sick is that it's the GMs doing it, so sad.

[iforyou]

I think that's Destination Kingsway Honda. I've read about it on civicx forum too. My understanding is that Canadian dealers aren't allowed to charge a mark up on a new car.

But like many things in life, there are loop holes. In this case, if the owner/GM decides to buy the car under his name, then sell it as a used car at a higher price, I believe he has the right to do that. Is it a dick move? For sure, yes.

If someone is looking to get a CTR without any BS, may be try the dealership in Chilliwack. That's where I got mine. The one I got was their second unit, and their third unit is supposed to come in December. I'm not sure if there's already a deposit on that one though.

That is true, when I went to Vancouver Honda on marine and asked the sales guy about markup of the CTR he said it was illegal or something to sell above MSRP. We should expose these shady dealership practices to Honda and see what they do. Like the situation with the Demon or hellcat dodge decided whoever pays above MSRP will get their car at a later date then someone who pays MSRP or below.

[twitchyzero]

[ScratchedMy991]

Yup, it was Destination Honda Burnaby.

They're definitely exploiting a loophole in some way or another.

The more I think about it, the more disgusted I get with the organization. While a business cannot be judged in entirety based on one aspect of its operations, something like this can say a lot more about how the dealership is run.

At least for now, it's lost my respect, and my business, and I hope it does the same for all of you. And if you ball out of control, I hope that you can appreciate what the Civic Type R means to enthusiasts, that you can value honest business practices; and that you will not engage these clowns in their sneaky, backhanded methods.

Yuck. Just yuck.

Oh man, it's awesome! It's exactly what the reviews have been saying:
Fun to Drive
Good steering
Feels powerful
Slick shifter
Surprisingly Comfortable (I leave it in Sport mode 90% of the time)
Decent NVH
Looks better in person (i.e. less ricey lol)

I only have about 400km on it, so I'm still taking it easy. It definitely pulls nicely even at 1500rpm.

Yea...sucks for those that really want the car. I feel that the MSRP is part of the reason the CTR is that good. Once there's a mark up, you can start looking at other options....

I think it's 1-2 cars per shipment man. If you are 4th, you are probably looking at getting yours in February 2018?



Oh man, it's awesome! It's exactly what the reviews have been saying:
Fun to Drive
Good steering
Feels powerful
Slick shifter
Surprisingly Comfortable (I leave it in Sport mode 90% of the time)
Decent NVH
Looks better in person (i.e. less ricey lol)

I only have about 400km on it, so I'm still taking it easy. It definitely pulls nicely even at 1500rpm.


Yea...sucks for those that really want the car. I feel that the MSRP is part of the reason the CTR is that good. Once there's a mark up, you can start looking at other options....



Have those been reserved by others already?

Are you using yours as a DD? i have a white one on order... i am number 6 at my dealer.. and they say they are getting 6 in total for 2017.. so there is a high chance i am getting one in the next few weeks.

[slicrick]

I have seen both a black and championship white car around, looks much better in CW imo. One was accelerating to merge in with traffic, I was outside and while the driver wasn't beating on it or anything it still seemed a bit quiet.

I want to hear one on hard acceleration or high RPM before judging it too hard, but it felt a little weird seeing a car with such a loud "look at me exterior" having such a quiet exhaust.

It looked like a nice car but I still have a soft spot for the DC2 ITR

[320icar]

Remember guys, these are stock cars so they have to follow decibel laws. My ST was super quiet from factory. Also not sure if there's a comfort/sport/track modes, they might have just been chill driving with exhaust in quiet mode

[iforyou]

your S looks a suzuki cappuccino next to the R

this must've been how you felt about it after 400km in the CTR

Yup! It's gonna be my DD. For me, that's the whole point of a hot hatch! Fun to drive, decently quick, good gas mileage, comfortable, and be practical enough as a DD.

I think the next batch is September man, followed by December. Did your dealership already get 3 CTRs in for July? I think most dealers only get 1 to 2 cars each time.

Saw a black one on the road yesterday.
It's so quiet...

My 2012 Si had more rumble

The CTR is pretty darn quiet based on its "loud" exterior. Not sure what the rules are but I'd imagine Honda can easily turn it up a few notches and it will still be well within any decibel laws IMO. I think this issue was brought up by many reviewers already. The good thing is that it keeps the wife happy...lol.

There are different modes - Comfort, Sport, +R, but based on my experience, I don't think they change the sound much. I think those modes are strictly for the steering, dampers, and throttle calibration/response.

I am on Vancouver Island.. there is only 1 dealer from a 100km radius.
i think this is why they are getting more than 3.

Duncan Honda wanted a non-refundable 10k deposit.. so i didnt deal with them.

Discovery Honda has gone way down hill since the new general manager took over in 2014. They used to be great to deal with. Now they're basically just another dealership (not worse than the others around Duncan, but they used to be head and shoulders better than every other one).

[iforyou]

I think what he meant is that the finance and leasing rates are not the same as regular Civic. IIRC, the finance rate is 4.24% for 60 months, and lease is 4.99% for 48 months. Regular Civic more like 0.99 or 1.99%?

i think you read the same article we all did.

SH-AWD Civic Type-R :fuckyea:

[iforyou]

6 years down the road once you get bored of the CTR are you going to sell it or sell the S2k?

Hmm, I don't know man. Too early to say right now! Still in honeymoon with it right now lol.

My guess is that if I were to sell, it would be the CTR. The reason is that Honda isn't going to make another S2000 - a car with a bespoke high revving engine with unique RWD chassis. What I mean is that the car doesn't share any major mechanical components with other cars.

I bought the CTR because I'm a Honda guy and I want something that is decently fast while being practical. The latter is important since I have a baby coming. My S2k isn't going to fit all the baby stuff. With that said, I go in knowing that the CTR isn't built on a unique platform, nor does it use a special bespoke engine. I also expect Honda to keep on making new Type R's so perhaps by the end of 5 or 6 years, I can get another one.

how legit is that rumour of type r coming out with an awd system?

My understanding is that the Civic project leader or some engineer mentioned that they are considering variants for the Civic Type R. The AWD and/or more powerful versions were added by journalists - in other words, those versions are just speculations.

I'm not saying that we won't see a AWD and/or more powerful CTR down the road. But it can also mean an Acura version of the CTR. For instance, perhaps a new ILX with a Type S model that uses a variation of that 2.0T engine + SH-AWD or even Sport Hybrid SH-AWD.

The Civic sits on a new platform that is shared with the new 10th gen Accord. And this platform would most likely be used for the next gen ILX too, which I think would get AWD. That's probably why there's room for a rear diff and what not.

The Audi RS and AMG are substantially more expensive by over 10,000 GBP and they also have a substantial power advantage, so I'm not really at all surprised those two dominated.

The Focus, Golf, and Civic are all in the same ballpark price-wise, so at least it's reasonable to compare them.

To bad the slowest ones are not in the same ballpark. The Honda has a ridiculous price premium added to it. So for the 60k you pay on Honda Civic if you can even get one. You can get the RS3 and any of the other better performing cars for considerably less.

[Traum]

IMO, between the Focus RS, Golf R, and Civic Type R, the only clear loser in performance situation is the Golf R.

I am not sure whether the ground is completely dry. If it isn't, the advantage tilt further towards the AWD offerings (FoRS and Golf R). But what happens is, the Golf R lost the quarter mile drag race to the CTR despite having AWD to propel it right off the line. Also, in the rolling start situation, the CTR also picked up its pace to catch up to, and pass the FoRS despite its FWD disadvantage.

So what I can see is -- the Golf R has the worst performance, but probably offers the most upscale ride between the 3 cars. The CTR packs the most performance, unless you are in a drag race situation, and the FoRS is somewhere in between.

At the same time, the Golf R will almost certainly be the most maintenance intensive one out of the 3, while the CTR is the most reliable.

[nsx042003]

Makes sense...the Civic R traps higher than both Focus RS and Golf R.

I can't stand the mentality here....the CTR...actually, all these hot hatches, their strong points were never just straight line speed, it is more meaningful to see how fast they go around a track and comparing those times is more appropriate of these beasts.

the target audience will most likely drag at a stop light at least once during their ownership....... so this is somewhat relevent... i guess...

and yes.... track test has proven, the CTR is the fastest among the competition (STi, EVO X, Focus RS and Golf R)....

As for the RS3 and AMG... I am sure they are faster... but lets be real here... if you got the coin for those 2, you are not going to cross shop for the CTR and the rest... you will probably cross shop a used C63/M3... and worry abt warranty... or die-hard wanting the new car smell...

People were saying the FRS is a piece of shit because it gets beat by a Sienna in a straight line. Suddenly everyone forgets that FRS was supposed to shine on the track not on a drag strip.

[320icar]

I think that's a poor example. I'm not saying the frs is bad, but it's not just a little underpowered, its way too underpowered. I know it's not all about power (I owned an NA Miata lol) but nowadays we can have the best of almost every world

[Funnel]

If you want power, there is always a Nissan 370Z at the same price with Toyota 86.

[320icar]

When did the price drop, it actually dropped that far?!?! That's a lot of car for the money

[G0rilla]

Yep, both can be had for 30k, definitely not a hard choice if you were in the market

[iforyou]

It's kinda misleading though. You can get a base 370Z for $30k, but Nissan did take away a lot of stuff to make it that price. And you can't add anything to that base model. I'd imagine people who want to buy a 370Z would at least want LSD and 4-piston sport brakes. After all you probably don't want an open diff with close to 350hp. You will need to get the $34k version to get those.

Yeah, people were telling me how cheap the 370Z was. That's because they're just window shopping and looking at the base price which gives you nothing. Anyone serious in getting a 370Z wouldn't skip out on all the "necessities" that would quickly drive the price up.

[iforyou]

What's interesting is that you can't add any options to the 370z. And so the pricing is sort of weird:
Base: $30k
Sport: $34k
Touring: $44k
Nismo: $48k

That's a pretty big jump from Sport to Touring.....

I can personally attest to how incredibly maddening it is to drive a 350z with an open diff. Worst idea ever. That said, if you are open to mods, that base 370z is still a lot of car for the money. If you are mechanically inclined then adding a new diff, and upgrading brakes isn't that big a deal.

[white rocket]

Wish I knew who you were as I would have said hi!. Looks like you were in the tower at T3. The CTR overheated as some of them are reportedly doing so now and the condom tires weren't the greatest idea from Honda either.

Yes, engine cooling temps. No limp mode but the gauge creeps up to the H limit pretty quick apparently. Throw the heater on and it goes down. People are speculating that it may be a kinked hose or something tied to the cooling system. The trans cooler is linked to the rest of the cooling system so it may be overworking it. Honda knows about it and is now gathering data from the test mules(people that have purchased the car already).

One reason I never buy the first year of a new vehicle. Let the hype kings work out the bugs then buy it a couple years later once the manufacturer has worked out the issues.

Yea, and I feel the $34k one is good too if you just want the 370z with sport brakes and LSD. At that price point though it's arguably a good deal vs the Toyota 86. But then The 86 does have its own chassis, whereas the 370z is just another platform sharing car.

Yea, Evasive Motorsport from the US ran into overheating issue on Buttonwillow CW13. On the other hand, Raceline USA took a different CTR onto the same track for 2 days, and didn't experience any cooling issue. Mind you they ran an even faster time than Evasive Motorsport, stock vs stock.

I'd imagine if it's a design flaw, all CTRs would have overheating issue. But that doesn't seem to be the case here. Hopefully Honda can find out the root cause.

[white rocket]

It is a random occurrence at this point as not all CTR's that have seen the track have shown these symptoms. Perhaps a build oversight during a certain time point while being assembled or a faulty/cheap part failing. Honda is still gathering data IIRC.

[Badhobz]

why cant they bring back the 240sx with an sr20det in it...... im still living in the 90's.

[mb_]

Wish I knew who you were as I would have said hi!. Looks like you were in the tower at T3. The CTR overheated as some of them are reportedly doing so now and the condom tires weren't the greatest idea from Honda either.

Haha yes I was! Guessing you saw my car parked on the other side of the wall at T3 :P Which car were you in?

[!Kodamu]

Any idea that kind of lap times a stock CTR gets at mission?


Here is another CTR that ran at mission

Same owner has a STI as well and the ctr is running 2 sec faster stock vs stock

[Ronac]

That's pretty fast, both of you guys.

Is the owner Gary?

[RE-Jo]

That looked like fun! Great driving~
I have never been to mission, but those concrete walls scare me... :/

[twitchyzero]

it's great to see CTRs taking advantage of the track season

but engine break-in regimen is a thing of the past?

[inv4zn]

^I think it said somewhere CTRs are broken in at factory.

That said, when I bought my 10th gen Civic the manual explicitly said to try and stay under 4k rpm and no WOT until 1000km.

[320icar]

That's a whole nother discussion about how to break in a motor. Most manufacturers say stay under 5000rpm, don't give more than 75% throttle and don't drive at sustained rpm (like highway) for the first 1000mi

[white rocket]

Haha yes I was! Guessing you saw my car parked on the other side of the wall at T3 :P Which car were you in?

White ITR with black wheels. I was out there with the black Porsche Boxster/Cayman and white R35 GTR in the green group. I only did two sessions as I had lug nut issues. Good day all in all though.

[320icar]

Care to say what the lug nut issue was? Were you using those aftermarket aluminum ones? Just a random guess, those things always sketch me out

Lugs backed out on track. ARP extended studs FTW. Pretty scary to say the least. The aluminum lugs have a tendency to stretch over time after being torqued so much. I switch my wheels quite frequently so that was most likely the issue. I'd had them for like 7 years though. Time for Project KICS with the retainer to avoid scratching the wheel.

[Ronac]

Wow that's pretty scary. You weren't able to just grab some new nuts from Canadian Tire or Lordco to finisht he rest of the track day?

chromoly or steel lugs. aluminum lugs will stretch

There's an 86 for that. Granted that it's no Nissan, but Nissan doesn't seem interested in offering any sports cars below the Z.

Swap away!

Yeah, it was a bit scary. I was tired at that point and then ate lunch so decided to just chill. It's nice to chat with people I haven't seen in a while so just being social at the track and watching is good enough most times. I could have gone back out after everything was rechecked but I was drained and it was hot out and going out on the track when you're tired is not the best idea.

you noob! haha

Totally right?! Ha! I used steel open-ended ball seat type when my stock wheels were my track wheels but switched when I started running aftermarket wheels this season. Lesson: re-torque your lug nuts after every session.

[Lowered_Klass]

Wish I could have brought my car to this track day - visited in my work truck, and was there when the CTR got there. Was nice to see one up close in person, and see it in action on the track. Shoulda taken the Super Duty work truck for a few laps lol :D

[tru_blue]

anyone test drive the civic type R yet ?

how is it?

[iforyou]

At the moment I don't think test drive is possible unless you are actually buying it. There just aren't any available as far as I know, with each dealership expecting one or two units coming in for September. Most of these are reserved.

It's a great daily driver - comfortable, practical with quite a bit of cargo volume, decent feature list, reasonable good fuel mileage (9.4L/100km so far with AC on 90% of the time). I would have no trouble driving it on a road trip (ie. Wife won't complain the car is too loud or the ride is too firm, etc).

Haven't driven on a track yet but in the few occasions where I was able to go a bit faster through certain turns, it feels great and seems like the limit is very high and it's very confidence inspiring. It can do over 1g after all.

Turbo lag can be felt but only very little. It pulls hard as suggested by its 108mph 1/4 mile trap speed. Despite putting down 300lb ft to the front wheels, torque steer is nonexistent.
Brakes squeal sometimes when close to a complete stop but the feel is great and it's progressive and firm. Road test results show it had the shortest braking distance in its class.

Shifter is pure Honda quality with accurate, clearly defined slots and a short throw. I would say though my s2000 has even shorter throw and feels even better.

[SkunkWorks]

Apparently they're now buy one get one free too :lol

Was thinking the exact same.


Brembo calipers from uh... I forgot..

i hope the theif knows that the CTR's bolt pattern is 5 x 120.

unless you want to put it in a MDX/ RLX.. it might look awkward on a BMW
