2018 Honda Civic Type-R

[GTBrandon]

Damn honestly didn’t expect to see one of these in the club, congrats as it spices things up! How many FWD are there now lol?

On the real I’m pumped to see this at Karting tomorrow. How is the exhaust sounds while your driving with windows up or down, IE too much or too little?

Also, how aggressive are you going to be on track with this?

You mentioned the heated steering wheel and seats, surprised it isn’t on a 2018 car? Any other creature comforts it’s missing?

I'm first in line whenever you're done with it. I can wait. No rush.

eBay turbo the Fit, probably end up faster and save you some coin.

It's got a little rasp and bass to it, but it's by no means annoying or overpowering. For a turbo inline 4-cylinder it sounds decent. I don't feel a need to make it louder (though I might anyway).

Also, how aggressive are you going to be on track with this

I'll get out and drive it fairly hard, but not trying-to-put-it-on-pole hard. Anytime I'm driving a street car on track there's a level of aggression that I don't go to, so I can reduce chances of a crash. That hasn't always worked, but usually it does.

I was just making a joke about our Odyssey. That car really isn't missing much of anything.

Real talk, a Fit may be in my future. Depends on how things go in the next 1 to 3 years, but I'd like to go having the Fit for runabout street car, and a 2 seater for the fun car. At the very least I should be able to do that when last kid starts going to public skool.

Then kid number #12 pops out and you've got a garage full of minivans with empty Go-Gurt tubes shoved under the seats.

Commom man, no need to call me out like that in Gerald's thread.

If you have another, Dave, you're going to end up in an old airport shuttle van. Or Craigslisted school bus.

uhh have you seen the new BTC version?

[Senor_Taylor]

The more I look at it, the more I like the Type R and the Base Model Sedan, and the more I dislike everything else.

saw one of these in the flesh up close this weekend when i was out getting 2x8's from home depot.  guy parked behind mine while i was inside and when i came out he was leaving as well.  had a friendly conversation and he was really happy with it.



one thing that struck me though was how WIDE these things are.  it makes my Si look tipsy by comparison.  its not a long car though so it looks very square and planted.  i couldn't get over how tall the center tunnel was in the cockpit too, you really drop into it like an S2000.

it looks much less gaudy to me in real life.  the wing is still outrageous but it doesn't look as out of place.  i hadn't seen one in blue yet either and it was striking in the sun.

Wow, Scotty! First off, yours look awesome as ever. Secondly, that blue looks amazing on the Type R. Those aren't OEM wheels right?

[JPolen01]

Ooof I haven't seen that blue in person yet. It looks reeaaaal good.
