Canadian dealer asked what colour Type R I want

If they bring the 8.5R CS, I'll be very interested!

If anyone in the GTA is still looking for an FL5 I may make the extremely difficult decision and sell mine to the right person. After waiting so long it came at a bad time for me in between houses so unfortunately I am floating the idea. DM me.

That's shitty man, you've waited probably longer than any of us, and for this to happen is a major bummer. Hopefully you can find a way to keep it.

It's super shitty and the wait is ultimately what killed me. I would have really enjoyed the car 1-2 years ago but life changes and I won't be able to enjoy it as much as perhaps someone else can at this point.

I'm in the same boat. Still waiting for mine, but might not buy it if it ever arrives...

Just got a phone call from a friend, dealer called him to put an order for 2026, yes, 2026 type R!

Sounds suspicious

Agreed. If it wasn’t for the fact that there are still rumours about MY25 being the last year, I’d believe it. Hopefully it’s true and the dealership isn’t just taking the money for the sake of taking it.

FYI fellas keep in mind we have a tiny 1.5L washer fluid tank with no low level warning.
I'm going to try at some point to retrofit the 4.5L tank from the Sport Touring hatches. Need to get some pictures of the area first.

It’s the same guy. He msged me after my post. But he isn’t a reseller.

Cool. I just remember him trying to sell his CW at the price he got his (70k-ish) + his DP. But anyways, hope he made his mind this time GL with the hunt! ??

Good to know. Why they would give us the smaller tanks is odd.

All Civics outside Canada get the smaller tank.

All Civics outside Canada get the smaller tank.

Probably means a retrofit option would be pretty feasible then?

I'm going to look into the fitment during the summer. I need to see some pictures behind the FL5's bumper. I need to make sure the intercooler piping or brake ducts don't cause interference. Both reservoirs use the same mounting points, but where the FL5's (1.5L) looks more like a skeleton versus the bigger normal one (4.5L) . See:

I have my doubts about the part numbers above, as the Canadian models have a low fluid sensor but I can't find it on the parts diagram
