Thermostat and Gunk from Exhuast

I posted this on another site but wanted to get opinions from Type R owners as well. Ok, so I have a 2000 Type R, with about 72K miles. For the last 2-2.5 years or so it sits in the garage and I drive it about 4-5 times a month at least 20 miles during the month. Sometimes I drive more often and for...

Re: 2nd car?

Had a 91 LS Legend and my 00 Type R, then a year later sold the Legend. I liked having both cars except trying to maintain both was expensive, but having a great sport car and a nice soft large car to pick between was great, the R usually won the coin toss though. Bought a house about a year after I...

I changed the HU with a Panasonic CD w/3preouts, I had for about a year in my legend before I moved it into my Type R. Need to replace it in the near future with Alpine or another name brand. I did change out all the speaker wire and added a cap to hopefully reduce the battery drain. I looked at the...

Intake Question

I have, actually had a AEM Cold Air Intake but, it cracked where it mounts to the car. The crack was large and turned into a hole before I noticed it. I ended up cutting the intake and making it into a short ram. I didn't think of contacting AEM to see if they would replace the intake because I had ...

I have a question about the Type-R Tach and Idle. I have a 2000 ITR with 38K miles on it. I have all my major maintenance done at the dealer and use the car as a daily driver. I haven't taken it too the track, yet, and only drive it hard occasionally. I bought the car used with about 13K miles on it...
