  1. Civic Type R Ownership | A Trip to Crazy Town [Savage Geese]

    Just saw this. Like others, I think this hit all the right points about why this car is special and some of the shortcomings. Here in Canada, it's been incredibly hard to get one. I've recently got my deposit back from the dealer after having it there for over two years. I've been driving an...
  2. Eventuri intake spotted

    Interesting. I've been out of the game for a while. How's much difference are we talking about compared to say PRL on fk8? Some other things to consider is that supposedly fl5/de5 airbox has less restriction and PRL's intake (whenever it actually finishes) will have the lower siphon. So I'm...
  3. Eventuri intake spotted

    Anyone have money burning a hole in their pocket? ? I mean...I want it...but...
  4. Canadian dealer asked what colour Type R I want

    Mine is black. I wanted either white or blue. I did have the chance to order the first blue but the black was already there and blue was not happening until at least August. I was just too tired of not driving while dealing with anxiety and depression from the whole process. I was ready to spend...
  5. Canadian dealer asked what colour Type R I want

    Just jumping back here to see how things are going. Sounds not great still for most waiting which is just sad. I'm sitting at the dealer right now trying to get my deposit back finally. I've been driving the ITS for about 3mo now and thoroughly enjoy it. I don't regret getting it because life...
  6. 🚀 tezzasaurusrex - Time Attack FL5 Build Journal

    Thanks for this insight. Much appreciated. Based on some reviews, it didn't seem like RE71RS needed much warming up for a lot of grip. Only tires I remember being able to do that were ones that can get greasy when hot and should be stored indoors in winter. So this is interesting first hand...
  7. 🚀 tezzasaurusrex - Time Attack FL5 Build Journal

    Thanks! I couldn't get a straight answer searching around. I still lose traction in 3rd gear on the ITS occasionally but have to generally be very careful in first two gears with ps4s. My old car was K20A so didn't have nearly as much torque or power but definitely was more fun in first two...
  8. 🚀 tezzasaurusrex - Time Attack FL5 Build Journal

    How are the RE71RS compared to PS4S? I have an ITS and I'll eventually look at new summers to replace stock. Would love to find some more traction before I add any meaningful power.
  9. Canadian dealer asked what colour Type R I want

    I have one car seat in one side. The other side I switch between the UPPAbaby baby seat and a full car seat depending on if I'm picking up my eldest and her friend. It's pretty easy to deal with. The only thing that's a bit weird is the back headrest not being adjustable so I have to put the...
  10. Canadian dealer asked what colour Type R I want

    That's an interesting thought. So far the one data point I've seen is noticeably lower boost pressure on the ITS but makes more power according to SG. We're talking a bit more than 5hp from spec sheet. Well...took delivery after I got back to work post pat leave. There's very little time to go...
  11. Canadian dealer asked what colour Type R I want

    Wow. That is some purchase. Though I know exactly how you feel. Didn't want to waste another summer so picked up an ITS when the chance presented itself. I'm still interested in learning about other differences from people that has driven both. First hand experience would be nicer. Everyone...
  12. Canadian dealer asked what colour Type R I want

    I got ghosted by my dealer. Radio silent. I'm pretty sure they found people that agreed to higher than 10k markup and trading in an older Type R. So far 360km in on the ITS since Monday. Really enjoying it. I don't think I have any regrets, but I certainly have no idea what I'm missing without...
  13. FL5 Type R vs DE5 Integra Type S | Savagegeese

    ? Fair enough. I should see if I can change it. I picked that handle nearly two years ago because I put a deposit and was so sure that I'd get one within a couple months of release. I'm actually signed up on Integra forums as slo_its. Lol Not at all. I winter drove my k20a swapped Acura. Was...
  14. FL5 Type R vs DE5 Integra Type S | Savagegeese

    Totally agree that it's a situation of what makes sense for the driver. I think both of these cars are driver focused cars, just one with some more comfort additions. I've had my ITS for a day now, put on over 100km in that time already on local roads in west GTA. Some things I've noticed...
  15. Canadian dealer asked what colour Type R I want

    I see you don't have your front license plate and you're from Ontario. Any idea what your plans are for it? I can't figure it out yet. I don't really want it in the middle and there's not a lot of room for side mount. I also can't find the tow hook access through the bumper based on...
  16. FL5 Type R vs DE5 Integra Type S | Savagegeese

    I don't own one, but it's been mentioned that heated steering wheel and glasses holder are not on CTR in Canada. I don't think the heated seats are there either. I'm going to pick up the ITS today. I was curious if they include the mud guards in Canada. I saw the showroom vehicle with it but...
  17. Canadian dealer asked what colour Type R I want

    There's a great comparison that SG posted here a while back which they didn't mention in their very detailed review. https://www.civicxi.com/forum/threads/fl5-type-r-vs-de5-integra-type-s-savagegeese.52162/
  18. Canadian dealer asked what colour Type R I want

    Looks like I'm picking up my ITS Monday. So from walking into the dealer till delivery is 3 weeks. Had my CTR deposit almost two years now. This is ridiculous.
  19. FL5 Type R vs DE5 Integra Type S | Savagegeese

    This is interesting info. What's the best way to get a list of all parts for both cars? I'm curious what else is different, like engine mounts
  20. FL5 Type R vs DE5 Integra Type S | Savagegeese

    Makes sense. What I was thinking too. Either will be very fun to drive! Thanks!
