Too many factors at play here, elevation from sea level, temperature, rotation of the earth, position of the moon, what these guys had for lunch. The only way to be sure you hit 0-60, 1/4 mile and trap times is with a DCT, DCTS ARE INFALLIBLE!!! but also ???? *also sarcasm*
@mbaapk harsh bro...
Nice! Report back on driving dynamics whenever you get the chance, there's a video with Tsuchiya claiming he could feel the rear more planted at 40-50km, really interested in hearing your thoughts!
Congrats btw
Personally im gonna hold out for a dealer that does MSRP, or accepts hopes and dreams, thoughts and prayers and a couple food stamps on the side.
Being a responsible, successful adult that makes money is overrated, think about mother earth ? *hopefully obvious sarcasm*
Yeah the FL5 hits 62 or 63 in 2nd, but if i recall correctly it was 3rd and 4th in the FK8 that walked the FL5, so I wonder if they made any changes to the higher gears.
Oh true, that said I wonder if it'll have more aggressive street specific gear ratios so people stop crying over the FL5 roll race loss lol. That should DEF give the ITS the upper hand on the street. Its weird that they limited the top speed to 125mph for first impressions and did them on an...
Likely better sound dampening, and leather seats, which will probably add to the weight increase, but im sure it'll be way more focused on luxury and comfort.
Absolutely, not knocking its looks, I love the TLX. Im probably still a little bitter that it looks nothing like then 96+ LOL, but maaaan, the old integra and RSX differentiated themselves from the rest of the Acura line up so much better.
You can see a Type R and know right away that its a...
Misinformation, Honda doesnt manufacture airbags, and the takata problem wasn't specific to Honda they were just the first to act on recalls.

I think it's fair to take into consideration use case scenarios, sedan vs hatch. It already looks like the L15 in the Si doesnt take well to heavy modification.
Also, at the used price of an FK8 you may have to deal with known FK8 issues eg; overheating, 2nd gear grinds, (there are various...
Made it to the end, I laughed, I cried, I clenched a fist, but overall congrats and happy you got to see the happy ending. I totally remember following your journey in bits and pieces throughout the forum, I think in the deposits/pre order thread, must've been quite the roller coaster ride.
It...
lol you're absolutely right, these guys are probably loving life and breathing easy.
As far as I can tell its the same SGP, but the FL5s front and rear, IE grills, tailights and curves really strike a better balance with the colour I think. I cant really put my finger on it, but the FL5 is def...
Still curious to hear about @POPNTEC experience. Finally got to see an SGP FL5 in person and, I have no clue what trickery or magic is built into these things, but pictures DO NOT do the FL5 or SGP justice at all, it's an absolutely gorgeous machine. I dont think anyone can go wrong with any...
The N actually looks a hell of a lot better with the front bumper paint matched. Its the Hyundai recalls that make me paranoid, and I understand any auto maker is prone to recalls; ie airbag recalls (which were airbag vendor specific, not auto manufacturer fault). However the number of reported...
