About the 'clickyness' I think it's the lesser of 2 evils in the world of ergonomics as you need to ensure that you get that tactile feedback from a button during driving. Just on that point alone I think the HU is rubbish and so hardly touch it (not helped by the slow responsiveness) Having...

Your best bet would be to take the grille off properly and secure the badge using the same clips on the rear of the grille so we don't get any tea leafs trying to rice their base model Civic.

2 clips behind the badge hold it on. Remove the cover above the rad, reach behind the grill and cut them off

It was recovered last night.

Sod it, got a mate to do it for the cost of a pizza. No real complications except for needing to have the piston wind back tool. One thing to note was there was a notable lip on the disc, so that probably will need replacing a lot earlier than you would expect.

Extract from www.speed-trap.co.uk: Vehicle construction and use regulations require a vehicle speedometer accuracy to be in the range of -0->+10%. The implications are that it must never under-read - for obvious reasons - but may over-read. As the cost of manufacturing a speedometer with -0%...

Rattle could be stones trapped against the brake disc shield.

In certain cases even brass can cause issues, as it can for example react with ally valves used in direct TPMS systems, so being the opposite of what occurred to Fan above. Indeed TyrePal say as such in their help panel "Don't the external sensors corrode?".

The ol' metal reaction strikes again. Smear some copper grease on, should stop it happening again.

Its sister model A118C is half the price and isn't a massive world away in terms of feature set and quality. One attractive part to it is the wire cover which makes it look like a windscreen sensor and helps to blend it into the existing layout, more so than the A119...

Aye, it has the orange side marker light and is left hand drive.

OEM FK8 and FK2 (which should fit) winter wheel/tyre brochure is here.

From reports across the pond, even that twelfth speaker doesn't add much bottom end, and for the number of components you'd need to make it as OEM as is possible (new amp, wiring loom, original sub, boot lining) I suspect it will not give the quality you are clearly expecting. I think the HU...

BTCC Donington visit Went down yesterday to Donington hoping to see the cars, but they aren't there yet - so you'll have to enjoy the trailer and Honda tent for now:

Auction says heavy duty, so for the cost just suck it and see, get rid if they look battered after a while.

Should do heated windscreens. And ideally have it done at a dealer so they recalibrate the sensing unit too.

Bit of a write up on some of the specs of the cars: https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/motorsport-btcc/inside-2018-honda-civic-type-r-btcc-racing-car

Has anyone checked with the dealer and Honda whether the metal composition has been improved in the replacement nuts? Else you'll just be seeing the same thing in another few months.

Sorry yes Cup 2's

Rears are not LED, only front.

The seat actually consists of several parts, which is good if you break a particular section, but some are SRS pieces which you wouldn't really need for a seat used at home. Hence you couldn't buy it whole, but an amenable dealer's parts department could potentially piece one together if so...

As this prior post https://type-r-owners.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?102662-Quality-issues&p=1360228&viewfull=1#post1360228 True sports spec pads do it - and he was almost accepting of it in the clip.

FK8 winter wheel/tyre brochure is here.

I thought it best that it be clarified early on, to remind folks that that lump sum still will not cover everything. Besides, some of the service parts wear out, don't they? So some wear in fact is covered.... and the uninformed may have a different expectation of 'wear' Let's throw a link up to...

Chaps of course that cost won't include wear and tear parts or labour for those so you could be paying something during those services.

Maybe they are a spy like 007, but 50 places down Or it's their R number....

I will go all leftfield and suggest the new version should become hybrid - the NSX is already this.

Should be a few dealers around that way, probably worth calling around to see if any has one in. I did about 200 miles to look at all the colours and took pictures too to remind me. Ady sums up the general feeling with this model I think. On this occasion it didn't appear to be in as much...

The lights stay on yes, but that's the same as keeping your foot on the brake pedal after stopping so you don't roll away? And if you don't want that, then pull the handbrake on.

Could you post up the alignment settings used please?

US CTR though, mostly the same but misses out several features present on UK/rest of world, has the odd US-only options, specs in imperial measures, etc. Always strikes me as odd how 'Type R' is never mentioned, only as the unremarkable "2.0 L engine model". Honda, don't you want to shout your...

Oh I better add that GY don't appear to do the 3's in the CTR size at present, only the 2.

Yes Assys are the Good Years. 2 were good but I also had the 3's and they were a marked improvement.

Doesn't seem you can. If the music's that loud, turn the warning alerts up instead. Vehicle > Meter Setup > Alarm Volume Control

Under the following conditions, the [Automatic Brake Hold] system automatically cancels, and the parking brake is applied: • Braking is kept for more than 10 minutes. • The driver’s seat belt is unfastened. • The engine is turned off. • There is a problem with automatic brake hold system. •...

Auto Idle Stop does not activate when: • The climate control system is in use, and the outside temperature is below −20°C or over 40°C. • The climate control system is in use, and the temperature is set to Hi or Lo. • The front defrost button is on.

Try restarting the unit.... hold down the power button till it turns off.

Just to highlight, no magnesium in the FK8 rims. https://type-r-owners.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?102686-GAP-Insurance-%28plus-alloy%29&p=1358850#post1358850

This actually is one of the limitations listed for LKAS The roadway has merging, split, or crossing lines (e.g., such as at an intersection or crosswalk). I presume the lines merging confuses the system so be careful out there. As stated using the indicators disable the system temporarily so...

Prefer the Greddy look meself (preproduction piece looks very close to the bumper) Although the Magnaflow with CF tips are sexy: I see Greddy are also doing an oil cooler, absolutely needed if you're tracking as a few US bods have reported overheating issues.

'Avoid hard braking for the first 200 miles (300 km). You should also follow this when the brake pads are replaced.'

They have to cut the carpet to install the clips so I've been led to believe - use stickyback velcro instead. B is the tyre pressure sensor system, it's senses the speed of each wheel instead of actual tyre pressure, check CivicX but the only post on TPMS reckons it causes no end of...

The US manual states: During the first 600 miles (1,000 km) of operation, avoid sudden acceleration or full throttle operation so as not to damage the engine or powertrain What does it state in the UK manual?

How easy was it to fit? Is the colour match spot on. Got any more angles of it? I reckon it would look really good in CF

Post any proof of one or the other as I keep seeing misunderstandings in the forum. First let's clarify what an alloy is - it is actually a mix of materials with the named material comprising the most metal. At the risk of teaching how to suck eggs, here is the Wiki article Also a specific...

Hopefully you kept enough sanity to order from Cox and not your local wheeler stealer to save a few pennies. Surely any aftermarket manufacturer could undercut that by a tidy margin once they get some tooling active.
