Welcome, whats the ETA on your order? I think once the new Type R arrives you'll see plenty of tunes to start and later bigger turbo upgrades.

Similar to my situation, first two are sold and I'm third in line. Is your dealer asking MSRP or Adjusted Market Value?

After owning this car for two days I can say this.... I would pay ten to fifteen thousand more than MSRP for a car like this. I honestly can't even describe how good this car is. It is hands down the best Honda I have ever been in as far as being the complete package!

I paid 5k over and smiled the whole time filling out the paperwork. This is a front wheel drive supercar.... anyone that doubts that won't after they drive it and they won't think about what they paid for it either. This car deletes those thoughts 5 seconds after sticking your foot in the gas pedal.

Congrats man, I'm so excited to read this while I'm still waiting on mine. Can you post some pictures?

Yes, sure. I tried to upload a few but the size was too large. I am going to put them on my PhotoBucket and then post them here shortly.

Congrats [MENTION=46]Jmo19d[/MENTION] did the dealer specify any required break in routine? Any quirks you find in the car that you dislike so far?

Hey TypeRsenal... they didn't specify, just sold me the warranty lol. I was planning on reading the manual tonight and seeing if there are any recommendations.

Absolutely nothing I don't like at this point. I'm sure I will bitch about the tires at some point.... they are great tires and have superb grip but I had these on my wife's Nismo Juke and they lasted around 17,000 miles max. Not a long life tire but a great track performer.

On to a few pictures.

I ordered the same color. Can't decide if I want the side moldings. How are you liking the seats?

Thanks TypeRFan! Good to be here!

AZcivicR, the seats are very nice quality and support. I am a bigger guy, 220 lbs and 6 ft tall, and these seats aren't too small for me. They seem like they will really support a pretty broad range of driver size in my opinion. Just like every other aspect of the car so far.... the seats live up to the hype.

Good hear this too as I'm about your built. Did you purchase a dealer allocation or pre-ordered it?

Thanks man I appreciate the reply. My biggest fear was waiting for a car and then not being able to get comfortable in it.

Niether.... I called on Friday to a dealer about 60 miles from me and they just pulled one off the truck 2 hours before hand. I told them how much for a deposit... they told me the amount and I reserved it, picked it up next day. It was lucky as f@#k honestly... I couldn't believe I got it.

Talk about perfect timing. I've called several dealers and all of them are pre-sold.
