If you think the Honda infotainment system is bad, the one in the 2019 Focus I’ve got on hire is utterly shocking. It takes forever to play your iPod via USB and that’s if it actually detects it. It randomly turns the ‘audio’ function off. Similarly Car Play doesn’t like to load when plugged...

Got down to 1 when Honda was paying for my fuel one time

Unless you write for a motoring magazine where it’s in full view :evil: I just think they see it outside and automatically assume or just write about it

Like said earlier one side has to be unblanked for the horn. Talking of which anyone changed their horn...imo it sounds ‘weedy’

Put it this way...with a speed limit of 15mph overtaking might be a tad dangerous :lol:

Problem here is that every year a Golf R looks exactly the same which ever year. PS I am not saying it is not a capable car.

It generates the same comments over and over again. Fake vents - M140i has them at the front, as does the latest Megane RS (broken by fog lights). imo adds to the Banzai look otherwise it would look rather bland Triple exhaust - F40 had them Big wing - no one said anything when they...

Have you checked the volume level for your TA? Just a suggestion

Need a better dictionary...plenty of 4 door coupes nowadays. RX8?

Don’t expect an instant exchange. They’ll probably have to order one in so I’d phone ahead.

I guess to each their own, but I’m an advocate of having new rubber on the rears so that it doesn’t become too ‘loose’. Not for this thread.

I am sure that you know the Civic IX and X dimensions were increased over the previous generations to cover the void when the Accord was discontinued in the UK market.

One thing that surprised me was that the FK8 is 2 inches longer, 3 inches wider and 2 inches less tall than a Mitsubishi Evo X which in my mind physically looks much smaller. PS the above was due to my friend and I comparing our cars

Puncture on edge of tyre could not be repaired hence the £250 for new tyre. Worse thing tyre had done less than 2500 miles grrrrrr

Found out they are very picky where as repair can be done. My repair cost nothing...but tyre cost £250!!!

Don’t know what they are talking about. It is inconspicuous :lol: Just think the journalists just want to write a comment on the rear wing and that is an easy get-out. Auto express has the same comment.

That’s one more that 1 did in the land of the rising sun

I am assuming that this is the ‘post’ recall version :lol:

Maybe it’s just me but I’m not a fan of the Megane’s looks. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and all that.

Not only that, it tells you the mph and revs and location on map in real time.

As rare as hens teeth lol. I have also seen one in the wild...in Tokyo.

:smt023 All matter of personal opinion ;)

Is it just me as the FK8 is still as rare as hens teeth around my parts. Still haven’t seen one. Saw an i30N today...anonymous could’ve been just a bog standard i30

Yes. Standard piece of trim

Thanks...now I know why that piece of trim is in 2 pieces :lol:

Thought I’d share what I found on the internet with you...probably useful in this hot weather. When you press the unlock button on your remote, press and hold it again...all your windows will open releasing the hot air from your car. Note that you can close the windows remotely also by...

Speedy recovery :smt023

tbh wouldn’t go to a fitter who don’t use one ;)

^ Go for condition and history. Plenty around if you’re prepared to travel.

The realistic suggestions for ‘facelift’:- Safety camera warnings on sat nav Auto door lock when setting off/moving Independent driver settings (as mentioned above) Ability to deactivate ACC but still have CC Red seats in back (aka FD2)

tbh any W5W would do. I purchased these https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B071VT5DRB/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 which gives a brighter pure white light rather than a cool (blue) light.

Ok not quite today but collected my replacement.... ...’how it works’ manual ;)

Damn by the time I drive there and get back I’ll need to fill up again :lol:

Also TarX and Oblitarate. My preference is TRIX which is a tar and iron remover. Spray and leave for a few minutes. Just don’t let it dry. I’ve found Autoglym good only for removing the odd tar spots as it’s not a spray.

Brilliant. Was it an exhaust off job?

Looks fab. What paint did you use?

I thought in general, the term ‘saloon’ covered 2, 3, 4 and 5 door configurations of cars - particular in the good old pre-SUV/MPV days. This is then split further as 3 and 5 door hatchbacks and 2 and 4 door notchbacks. But a 2 door notchback could also be termed a 2 door coupe...until a 4 door...

No idea of difficulty but found a link to you to ponder over whether it can be easily fitted. http://www.collegehillshonda.com/instructions/civic/2017/4dr/illuminateddoorsilltrim.pdf

Hadn’t stuck on yet... The end product

Usual decal application...one on back one on front. Couldn’t find any which said ‘Honda Design’ as per prototype but thought it looked cool.

Thanks but would’ve been too much hassle :D Felt the white was too....white

As dweezle said unlikely to be fitted at the factory. They just roll out of a production line in standard trim and any options would done on a car by car basis at the dealer.

Decided on red after all

Red or white ?

Reversing camera is standard for both specs http://www.honda.co.uk/cars/new/civic-type-r/compare.html Under Audio and Electronics

The non hard reset method... Settings > Vehicle > TMPS Calibration (top option) > Calibrate Quite ironic this got mentioned as it’s pinged on twice in my last 2 drives in the last 2 weeks both whilst I was on a straight road when it came on. Didn’t notice anything so recalibrated when tyres...

15 min job is to change an owners manual? :p

It’s probably because it’s also a ‘all in one’ manual

Anyone else got a Safety Recall Notice?

It was actually an optional extra from FN2 on. All Type Rs, excluding the NSX, up to and including the EP3 they were standard

Are you referring to me? :confused:;)

The brake lights even stay on the moment you pull away and only go off after a couple of feet of movement

My neighbour says people stop and stare at the car. I’ve had ‘have you seen the wing on that?’ And people covertly taking pics

Same as what happened to me...they had to replace the modulator. Additional they forgot to reconnect my hazards. That is correct. Think they should have had a ‘red’ to make the rear sills stand out.

Exactly so you don’t get a tail happy car. Tyre fitters hate me when I ask them to be swapped

Guess I’m a firm believer in having more tread at the back for fwd cars so wouldn’t swap the fronts and rears.

Could be a modulator issue

Or is it Honda thought ‘Done the facelift, ooooh damn we forgot a Type R model, let’s put one together and use it as a test for the new gen 10 model’

Personally still like the colour of the prototype

:smt023 Did a mix of A roads and more A roads. Some motorway some town.

Mentioned that gearbox not as smooth as the one I had in the EP3. But it’s still better than boxes from other manufacturers. Extra Gear on BBC3 - more footage generally not shown on the main show. Had the winner of 2011 GT Academy on driving a full sized GTR with a PS4 controller from a...

Enjoyed TG tonight. Anyone watched Extra Gear?

Problem you have is that negative comments are more likely to be written about in any product - it’s human nature. Sure I’ve had some issues with the car but...it hasn’t made me question where I spent my money. The only issue that was car related for me was the issue with the engine management...

Highest 30.02 Lowest 22.90 Average 26.14 V-Power only Just have to remember that I need to fill the tank before the start of any long journey.

Like another poster mentioned, I am of the old ‘press the button’ school and by folding the mirrors (press the lock button a second time within 10 seconds) know that the car would be locked.

It’s not you. Option is not available. I believe it’s the walk-away function you’re after.

Nope. Use your iPhone as a hotspot to use the HU to connect to the internet

Wasn’t it just available on the end of run Black Edition? Maybe it another special edition Honda will have in the pipeline later before the facelift :smt102

They are all hot hatches. However where differ is in the pricing strategy which then, imo, subdivides the category. If you consider the CTR at around £31k, then it is likely you consider the RS/Golf R/140i. If you are looking at the i30N, you are more likely to consider the ST/GTis. I...

:smt023

Funny you should mention that. Noticed that on mine as well :confused:

I read somewhere they actually recorded faster laps.

10”x18” Forged Aluminium Oz Racing alloys. Sorry no other details.

Yokohama Advan. Competition use only. 250/660R18.

Footwell (driver’s side) Door handle Front door sills Rear door sills The door pockets are also illuminated.

Details here...see #1 ;) http://thetoycollectiblesparadise.com/2017-honda-civic-type-r-fk8-another-collectable-diecast I bought it from Honda Plaza in Aoyama, Tokyo.

The Ebro ones are ¥6,700 (around £45) The prototype RR BSB

Yep. I managed to procure an official Honda one ¥11,800 (around £80). Apparently I’ve got the final unopened one. They also had a red and a black one available. And an opened CW.

Just bought a new one...

And tucked away in the corner...

At last get see this

Front view

Guess I must’ve got lost so parked it in an empty space ;)

Found parked at Honda Welcome Plaza in Aoyama. :D Enjoy

Is it just me or is the gearbox on the EP3 a better gearbox?

http://www.raceglaze.co.uk/race-glaze/race-glaze-alcantara-leather-cleaner/ Use this as cleaner

I have the opinion that this individual believes that the cost to change is much much smaller and especially as he doesn’t think his car is only worth £16k and to be honest this is not an uncommon thought process. Most people think what they own is worth more than what people are prepared to...

Agreed got a couple...one for each key

Does it really matter? Just get a deal that suits you irrespective. What’s right for one may not be right for someone else. As I said I paid cash for mine as I didn’t see the point of paying £3k extra on pcp over its term but that’s not to say the pcp option is the wrong one.

The ‘amazing deals’ are only amazing at time of the deal. The later in the model cycle the ‘better’ the deals usually become.

I paid cash for mine and plan to keep it full stop. ;)

Someone called?? :D

Oh...:smt102:lol:

Did you go for the door sills also?

Damn ](*,) I meant £300 no voluntary excess :D

I don’t think so. You can have zero voluntary excess but there will be some compulsory element on some claims. I’m paying just under £300 with no compulsory excess through Admiral.

Seems easy. There was a YouTube video somewhere showing this. I’ll find it for you tonight
