Type R Club of America

Acura is an entirely different ball of wax. Again, (sadly) much to my dismay and frustration, Acura and Honda act and operate as two separate entities- including their marketing departments.

Acura has been focused on the NSX. Acura is making efforts since the combined Type R Expo 2017 + NSXPO @ Road America towards a Precision Crafted Performance theme. I will also plug some in the Acura marketing who have launched Corral events at Laguna Seca and Road Atlanta in 2019. Both are net-positive, but no, they don't throw the community a bone by discontinuing parts and not offering a replacement vehicle that match's the brand's legacy.

This is interesting. Bravo for New Zealand owners for gaining Honda's attention. I am curious to learn more about the performance upgrades.

Tempting! But so ugly. Just ain't taking the bait.

NZer here. Hoping to see this thing in the metal this weekend.

Oh yeah? It would be awesome if you could post pictures.

The Sport Cup 2's are insane, they fling every single pebble up against the under carriage when sticky/warm.

I had a Stag Do (not sure of the US word) the night before and didn't make it to the Honda event...

Link to the pdf below. They say it's a NZ only version and there will be 10 of them.

Yes, one downside of sticky tires is they fling up road debris. I'm okay with this trade off in exchange for superior dry grip.
