Just an FYI - those looking for winter tires for the OEM Type-S 19" wheels. I bought some Michelin Pilot Alpin PA 4 size 245/35 19 and they fit perfect. Some ppl were saying 245 would need to be stretched onto these wheels but they're wrong. After installing them Acura senior tech said they're...

You can call the dealer and inquire. Acura of Barrie (Ontario). Initially I had some conflict with the service desk/staff because the first tech did a shitty job installing the splash gaurds. So I explicitly told them I wanted a senior tech to reinstall new ones. When the new ones came in I was...

I too had a couple irritating noises coming from the front cabin area. One was coming from behind the dash to the left of the glove box. Sounded like hard plastics rubbing together. The sound went away after my passenger located it, and pushed on the plastic beside the glove box. When removing...

Thanks Frenzal, I'll look into this fluid if the dealer gives me the runaround.

Damn, seems like the dealer is repeating what Honda has told the Type-R customers. Yeah it is really frustrating, I've driven Hondas with clutches since early teens including 2-stroke dirt bikes and shifter carts. Never had grind issues on those and they Rev high, you could beat those...

Has anyone experienced the 1st to second grind issue? I've heard this was a big complaint with the Type-R...but it didn't happen with my Type-S until I started to push it a little after the break in period. To describe the experience, when shifting normally from 1st to second the transition is...

Hehehe! It's on!

I haven't been able to hold back, brought it up to 6500 a few times now with 700km on odometer. Going to change the oil at 1000 km. I'm not sure there's much danger to push it before 1000 miles... each car is pushed at factory with 0 miles before delivery. I could be wrong.. but I can't hold...

I've been putting in 94 at Petro. Won't put less than 93. I'm sure 91 is fine though.

It's the roids speaking 🤪

Very nice! I would have preferred the black/black vs red interior.. but that wasn't an option. I just dropped it off at the detailer (man that was tough), right away he pointed out some paint defects that I didn't even notice. He consoled me though saying 99% of new cars come from all dealers...

The sales lady asked if I wanted it drilled or not before pickup, I'm not into the whole side of the bumper look, and couldn't wait for a mounting bracket- so I asked her to have it drilled 🙈

Drove off the lot yesterday evening, took delivery with 6km on the odometer. Like many have said photos don't do the car justice- looks like a beast in person.

I'm sure you could call to confirm.

Yeah I'm not sure about the quality of the paint tbh. My sonic grey Si has ridiculously soft paint, you could fan a microfiber 2" from the car and swirls would appear. It's like there was no clear coat at all. Not sure if Acura paint is better? How's the Type-R paint?

Ahhh very nice!

Not a full wrap no, partial front and full hood. The rest just ceramic coated. Can't afford 4-5k for a full wrap. How about you?

Yeah when I first watched it I thought the same- that they weren't going to be available here.

The copper wheels are an option here. I ordered them through my dealer, and they're also available @ acura.ca build&price.

In the same boat here, detailer said no templates yet, same for tint. They are going to custom cut it.
