Thanks for sharing!
I'm assuming you loaded the suspension before tightening everything up, to prevent the bushings from binding? Not doing that could cause harshness.
I've personally always been weary of lowering springs with stock dampers (how could they ever match?), and haven't found a lot...
That's unfortunate. Thank you for sharing the news with the community though - it's bound to save someone some grief.
I found this adapter on Mikstore, but it only seems to convert the charging port to USB-C...
Sorry about your bad luck!
I'd recommend a standard MY 2025 bumper instead. It mimics the CTR look and will fit the Si's narrower body, with the quality of an OEM part.
Interestingly enough, they are correct.
From Honda's dream shop:
Regular Civic: P/N 73111-T20-A41, $794.80
Type R: P/N 73111-T60-305, $1896.85
The description is the same for both (GLASS SET, FR. WINDSHIELD (GREEN)(FUYAO)), and the parts diagrams shows no visual differences.
Thanks for this! Are you able to share the actual PDF?
I'm trying to ascertain how complex of a job it is.
I really don't want the dealer to mess up my car. Might just leave it well alone until the problem actually manifests itself, if it ever does.
I'm going. Driving down from NY in my Si (the Type R is in another country).
Looking forward to seeing all the cool old Hondas driving on such wonderful roads. :)
@savagegeese has measured the ITS at 5 dB quieter than the CTR. Thus, you may want to peruse the parts diagram to determine what they've added to accomplish that. I find it likely that at least some of the parts used will fit the Civic.
The car is also cheaper to buy in the US than in most other markets...
Honda picked a feature set that they think makes for the US market. Both in terms of expected use and competitive landscape (e.g., there's an ITS to make room for in North America but not in other regions). No parking...
I find that wrapping the vacuum's tip in painters tape helps prevent scratches (and also makes it easy to clean - just replace the tape as needed).
It's kind of a nightmare. I can see why they went with cloth for the US market.
I had mine delivered to my house via flat bed without issue.
To reduce the angle of attack we:
Used a super-long flatbed typically meant for trucks;
Loaded and unloaded at the top of a hill/ramp.
At the end of the day I guess it boils down to luck. If the wheels were manufactured in the same exact batch the chances of a perfect match may increase.
I've changed steering wheels in multiple vehicles over the years and always needed to align the car afterwards.
Even when replacing like for like. Due to slight variations inherent to the manufacturing process.
Hi there. No need to get offensive and ad hominem.
I hope you find what you're looking for.
The Michelin PS4 S is really the best tire in its class. If you want to mitigate the disadvantages of downsizing you can go up to a Bridgestone RE-71 RS. But that class of tire brings its own...
