>>28916305Hurr
>>28916305Sounds to me like you cant afford the running costs of it. Have you considered the Si instead? Or maybe the Prelude? Yknow something a little more "low rent" for someone of your income. Since apparently $150 is a lot of money to you.
>>28916331What do you think I make? Just curious what goes through your head when you make the "ur poor" post.Also, GR86 at that point.>>28916318Durr.
at least its still one badass minivan
>can't post properly>sounds retarded >can't afford to get a new windshield (150) or doesn't have car insurancehow much debt are you in hahahaha
>>28916305You see kids, this is what happens when someone buys the sport trim of an economy car thinking it'll be just as good as a real sports car. Don't be like him.
>>28916305I can't believe the type r civic is a 6.5k redline riced out van on 22s now holy shit what the fuck happened
>>28916380I guess you can keep talking shit. Base C5 doesn't need CTR gap insurance if maintained.
>>28916305CTR is a big scam. If it was 10k cheaper the car would make more sense. Go with an Elantra N or WRX instead
>>28916472This objectively false. N, while good, is a hyundai. R has VW reliability and costs and no manual iirc (could be wrong). GR Corolla is a cuckmobile. GT and no-visibility-maro are ok, but very different cars. Z gets smoked by CTR literally off the line. Supra and M2 are a much higher class of car. WRX is not even worth mentioning in this class. Yes, 270hp on paper, but not a sporty car in reality.
>>28916305Bruh, all rear calipers are like that now.You can rent the tool for $0 at AutoZone.Can also rent a piston spreader if you absolutely can't do it yourself.Front HPS pads for TypeR :$170.Stop complaining.
>>28916479All the cars you mentioned are a better buy than the CTR, except the Golf R which is also overpriced. You can buy a supra for the same price as a CTR. The pricing on this car makes zero sense, its a fwd econobox.
>>28916488> You can buy a supra for the same price as a CTRHeh. My CTR was 50k OTD, everything. A MANUAL Supra is going to be 70k with much higher running costs.
Shoulda bought a K20 swapped EK faggot.
>>28916504I have an 8th gen Si. It has like 10k in just maintenance parts, same as depreciation on CTR.
raped by the GTI
>>28916511What's that got to do with anything?
>>28916515Objectively incorrect, though GTI does ok against it on downhill if the CTR is on all seasons and chasing. If not, it's not even close.
>>28916495>paying 50k for a CTRyou are a lost cause
>>28916521maybe your base mutt model, our Edition 50 is superior though. and unlike the CTR its lap record was done unmodified
>riced out fwd grocery getter >50k
>>28916521>objectively incorrect stop making up „objectively correct“ facts in your head retard
>>28916539https://www.caranddriver.com/volkswagen/golf-gti> The 2025 GTI with the dual-clutch automatic got to 60 mph in 5.6 seconds in our testing. That's quicker than the Honda Civic Si but slower than the Hyundai Elantra N.Very cute.
>>28916547>base model
>>28916547>ACK
>>28916550>>28916558>$65,000 car somehow relevantWhat kind of drugs are you euros on?
>>28916569a base model gti with a remap is even faster btw
>>28916577Oh, wow, it's like a CTR puts out 380hp on literally just a tune.
>>28916495>openly admitting to shelling out 50 thousand dollars for a tarted up civic
>>28916585Please stop being mad because Honda released an 700hp MR coupe.
>>28916305>$50,000 for that Fuck anon.I've driven a Si around a local track and it was fairly fun for $24K.I can't imagine spending $50K on a fucking civic.
>>28916532Mfs are paying 60-70
>>28916577>a base model gtido they make a gti version of the gti?the vw gti gti?
I was at an acura dealer today and noticed the e-e-brake on the type s too. I guess it makes sense since it's just a glorified civic, but you'd think they would opt for a real e-brake on their highest supposedly sporty trims. so they reuse as much as possible from the basic civic to reduce cost, then charge you premium because >type hurr
>>28916479>objectively>proceeds to lists all subjectivity
>>28916331are you seriously making that argument about a FUCKING HONDA? I could see that if he bought a porsche but... a fucking HONDA?150 for a tool to do a brake job IS a lot of money and I have 6 figures in my bank account you fucking dipshit. go larp as somebody with money elsewhere. People who know how to wrench got into it specifically to save fucking money you dumb homo nigger.
>>28916305> apparently it pulses rears so I can pretend not to have understeer > turns out I need some tool to put the e-e-brake into service mode so the e-motor doesn't accidentally > tool is $150 9V battery, two wire leads. Pop the connection, run it and watch if it's extending. If so, invert and run til stops. Push piston back. After bleed is done, engage e-brake to bring piston to proper location.Gotta do pedal dance to fully disable the rear use though. Or trade it for a golden era, and something for towing.
>>28916331Si has same brake deal.You're a faggot for this post, but also clearly retarded.
>>28916305Imagine buying a performance car and being mad about owning a performance car, get a Honda accord, it's a little more your speed
>>28916305After owning my '23 FL5 for 3 years, literally my only complaint is I'm tired of running into the common issue of tiny pebbles getting stuck in the brake shields, causing a deafening screeching sound. It's literally perfect otherwise.
