Official: Type R Thread

[twitchyzero]

in all the years looking at 96spec examples, they all look tired

but my taste has changed..if there's a clean 95/96 even with inferior specs to the later models and more dated bumper/wheels/steering wheel, there's something pure about them

lightest, heads ported by hand, first attainable type R ever made

This vid almost needs it's own thread.

At the time, locally at least these cars were never a thing. It was all swapped eg, ef, or even gsr, itr. Everyone I know that had a new Sir, their parents paid for it.

[twitchyzero]

i still see rusted out crx here or there but it's probably been a few years since i've seen an ef

My neighbour has a Tahitian green EF Si. He rarely drives it now.

[spoon.ek9]

I still daily my EF Si

Got a small group of EF guys in a whatsapp chat. A few of them have winter vehicles and save the EF for warmer weather.

Honda marketing ftw.

Removed sound deadening and rear wiper. I guess they planned to do this all along.

It would have been cool if they had optional stereo and AC delete.

[underscore]

People still do stereo and AC deletes on a street car?

[twitchyzero]

how much laptime can you shave when you reduce 50lbs from 3200?
22 of it unsprung

good on them for telling buyers not to pay the adm on a civic

[Doubl3_H]

$70k for a type r

What happend to Fk8 prices in the last 2 months? I remember 17-18 models being in the mid 30's a couple months ago but now......

Bad time to be in the market for one I suppose.

I think the euro version had those no charge delete options.

I think everyone jacked up their asking prices ever since they sold that Barrett Jackson one for $165K.

[TouringTeg]

There is a new LE at a dealer in Massachusetts for $20k USD over msrp

Can Canadian dealers charge over msrp?

[Suprarz666]

I don't think Canada is allowed to charge over msrp.

[trollface]

Oh yeah they are lol. I've seen GT500's with "Market adjustment"

Just do what Porsche Centre does - drive it round the block and then sell it as certified pre-owned for 100k over MSRP.

Uhh yeah they are. The focus RS spend over a year with crazy inflated msrp

[twitchyzero]

all in the name...it's retail suggested by the manufacturer
many sell for less, not that unfair some can command more if there's a market

Although it's Zack doing the review and not Matt, still gonna watch it for some Type R content

[TouringTeg]

It’s a good watch. Sums up how good the ITR. Just simple fun.

[twitchyzero]

i like zach better even if he's not as good of a driver, very honest and has a better sense of humour
