Hey People
New to this forum (nice forum btw) and interested in buying the Civic Type R 3 Door hatch - 07 or 08 model. just wondering if there are any problems with them? things to look out for ? bad batch at all? gear box issues? etc
Any feedback would be really appreciated!
thanks alot!

Mate, Id recommend having a browse around the forum yourself before creating a new thread about general questions that will have been covered already. Like you said, its a good forum, make sure to have a good look around / search.

Have fun ;)
buy now and deal with problem later if any lol. There is never a perfect car !
the main issues are, some have small rust spots in the doors at the top most point of the door, look under the rubber to see it, some people have also had issues with 3rd gear being notchy or not engaging correctly

as for gears, yes 3rd gear is a bit hard to engage for mine, but if its not the faulty group then with practice u should be able to cure it.
add one more flaw: no AUX jack, and the headunit will give u a headache if u want to tweak around with it. i still couldnt find a solution to make it work properly with conversion kit.
wat are u trying to do with ur head unit
i was trying to install the dension gateway 300 thingy...Quote:

but for some reason i just cant make the headunit to go into CDC mode to play from the kit.
the tech told me to do firmware upgrade on te kit, and it kinda worked for once. then when i unplugged it to put back together my car, its not responding again.......
hrmm i dont know ive got the exact same one in my car but i just got
Stage Co in hornsby to install it for me and it works on my iphone and ipod...

lol thx for the info first, but since its most likely the unit's problem, ive already made the official dension dev team to scratch their head over it.Quote:
