More that likely I'll just drop the seats and remove the front wheel and chuck it in the back...but, I also have one of these knocking around the house, we'll at my old house awaiting collection, so thought I'd ask here first regarding fitting before I trapps the 30miles to collect.
Can the TypeR/Civic have a bike holder like this fitted to the back?
Or is it a no go/not safe? I fear the spoiler poking out will stop it working.
No I don't think something like that would fit the R because of the larger spoiler. We don't even have the roof rack securing points so options are really limited for bike carrying, short of having a tow bar fitted and fitting a carrier on that.
I'm currently making a rack to go in the boot to hold 2 mountain bikes minus front wheels... they'll be safer there both against theft and falling off... and less likely to damage paintwork bouncing around on the back
Cheers for the reply! I'm back at my old house mid march so might just attempt to fit it and see how secure it feels. Looks like it'll result in me just chucking it in the back (minus the front wheel) as I don't fancy spending too much on a rear tow carrier tbh
Didn't think i'd ever say this to a bloke...but you got any photo's of your 'rack'?
Basically it's going to be a wooden base, fairly substantial, with 2 pairs of heavy duty right angle brackets bolted on with a threaded bar running between each pair. The front forks will slot into the threaded bar (with wheel removed) and i'll use a couple of wing nuts to tighten. This should hold the bikes upright and secure protecting both bikes and car. Reckon I can make this for about £25 with bits from B&Q and screwfix etc... will post some pics when done (just waiting to have time/good weather!)
When I hit Dalby Forest, I just throw a sheet down and put it in the back. I often put the magic seats up and put it in cross-ways.
I suppose it is a choice between risk of scratching your interior and scratching your exterior rear hatch with one of those carriers. The towbar ones are the best, but work out expensive with the towbar cost.

Can you really not fit a roof rack to a type-r?
There is one in my works car park that has 4 discs on the roof which I always assumed were secured to the roof using standard roof rack points, this appears to be where the guy attaches the actual roof rack.
Can someone help me find out what I should do first for more power in my civic? Iv heard hks intake but how much will it be and where should I get it? Online or ?
Hi all,
Been using these forums for years, and I’m back after some time - such a great resource.
I have a question. I bought a new Kenwood DDX9019DABs headunit as I wanted to have wireless CarPlay. I’d installed head units in previous Honda’s so I more or less knew what to do.
Everything was...
I've had the fn2 a while now and i had a 2.2 before it, they both had this characteristic understeer and from a bit of googling i'm thinking the FRS and some better tyres would improve this.
Got a question though, I know i might sound silly asking this but I want to hear opinions.
With a FRS...
Hi guys, got an fn2 type r 59 plate 70k miles with a knocking left rear, only seems to do it when i go over a pot hole that is quiet harsh.
Exhaust mount was welded back on by honda, could this be it? Exhaust seems tight however.
Taken everything out the boot and driven it, the noise is still...
