Actually the dealer was good and was replacing parts. Honda Corporate stepped in and stopped the work through the regional manager. That's why it's related to Honda and not a middleman/dealership.The regional manager also pushed back on corporate but Honda's techline ignored that as well. This wouldn't be an issue if Honda used a flash counter on the CTR ecu but I guess they were too stupid to put that in the reqs.
You are probably right that Honda is selling these cars to people that aren't historically Type-R fans. As in basically every other way, Honda is trying their best to become as boring as Toyota is in the US. $$ over anything else. But hey, I appreciate that as a shareholder.
