I live in a medium size city where 90% of the time you're on the streets you're not exceeding 45mph. and there are soo many lights you have no choice but to be light on the gas.
You live where Chandler Bing worked!

LOL - When i drive my camry or corolla , my right foot is very light.
But put me in a BRZ or CIVIC type R , for some strange reason my right foot gains a few kilograms.
That is why i go for drives outside of Sydney , so i can drive the car like it's meant to be driven , otherwise i may as well buy a battery powered prius butter box.

Concept looks so much better.





So aside from the lights, what has changed? Well, the production car loses the concept’s cool blade-like LED daytime-running lights and the headlight cluster is also a lot more conventional looking; the LED blades are replaced with old-school projector lamps.

As for the lower redline on the new type r... Sucks that it's not higher but I've seen worse. Maybe we can get it up in the aftermarket. I have a buddy with a k20 SC setup revving to 10k ... *Drool*

I already know they respond well to mods, especially breather n/a mods. The motors are definitely better than ours as this point. But saying 300hp is "easily achievable" is a different statement. I can put a SC on any motor and make 300hp. Ours already do that.

The problem lies on the FWD, torque steer, and trying to get the car to hook up with relatively thin tires. With 300hp and ~250tq

Let keep this on topic on the NEW CTR, not some old k20 motor

You're bat sh*t crazy if you think a 06 civic dyno's 192 WHP stock when its rated @ 197 to the crank by honda. Bolt on's and a tune you could see 192 whp.

but in conclusion GTFO

IMO it looks like something you'd see in an early fast & furious movie. What the hell is all the aero, wing, diffuser..carbon with shiny shit what is that. Seriously its got nothing AT ALL to do with the R badge.

The engine is coming to the US, what they will put it in is the mystery...?

Show me something in the F&F movies that looks like the new Type R

It's functional aero, though.

Painting a picture, not really interested in pointing out anything.. I've never seen a production car with that much aero and excuse my terminology by aero i mean side molding, flared fenders, diffusers, wing... unless exotic. I'm sure its functional i would expect nothing less from an R vehicle but damn.. still a little aggressive for my taste. Maybe euro specs are different, moving on though.

Looks like that picture of the ft86 which never went into production, is this the real deal or not official production car yet? IDK it just doesn't seem like it'll look that way once its produced.

Are you serious?

Show me a FF movie that didn't have outlandish aero on a car.
