just for the information of everyone, maybe you have heard of the third gear problem in thie car and it does exist. Im having this problem maybe 1-2 times a day and its very very annoying. The third gear either grinds and u hav eto press the clutch again and stick the third gear all the way through or the third gear sometimes pop back out. so annoyin@ but ill see how long i can live with it

It's usually in the manual right at the back with the bulb power ratings. Otherwise, ask civictyper.co.uk

According to the UK type R forums, Honda has yet to release any fix for the 3rd gear problem,although I've read that the problem on some cars eventually disappeared.

True that they have not yet released a fix, but Honda UK have at least admitted that there is a problem...

well if the gear box comes from japan whos fault is it, swindons or japans?

I think their trying to give the ave Joe the real Honda F1 racing experience.

1 Championship point is better than nothing.

wats that got to do with the CTR?

saw a red one yesterday in the city.... does look better in real life but still doesnt do much for me.... still keen to drive one tho, mite change my opinion...

I love the car, but the fact they dont have double wishbone all round, Brembo's and not even a ****en LSD, I dont think this should be a Type R.

I think Honda forgot what Type R is after they released the NSX-R and DC2R.

This CTR was designed by Honda UK. So it's what the guys in the UK think is a Type R. :)

Type LS.

once again why do people think this car should have brembos???
its got 147kws ffs! have any of u actually drivin it and hit the brakes hard? its bloody fantastic!

I think the show ponies want look at me i got brembos!

Maybe if it had at least 250kw then u might need the stopping power!
the accord V6 has 177kws....its heavyer why doesnt it get brembos??
seen the brakes on the legend????
Fantastic but no brembos.

Why do you think it shouldn't have bremos??!
Perhaps you care to explain why the jap CTR and DC5R both have brembos and an LSD.

Anyway, aside from an H badge, what in the flying fark do Legends and Accords have to do with a type-r civic???
