Hondata Dyno is up. Added to first post as well. Looks like it might be dynopack and numbers are higher than Dynojet.
They do have a direct comparison of fk8 and confirmed increase of 25lb-ft torque and about 10hp.
Also interesting is the torque curve is showing more torque earlier in the...
I didn't know you guys are in this forum. Welcome to the place where 99.9% of the people are salivating over a car they can't get their hands on or have a long wait. ?
Just posted this video on the Dyno thread cus it mentioned Dyno and comparison with fk8 coming. Didn't see this thread before...
Hondata is going to put it on the Dyno tomorrow and plan to overlay their fk8 graph on top of the fl5 graph for comparison.
Will be the best comparison we can find for a while. I trust they'll try to keep testing parameters as close as possible.
I assume some of that is difference of 91 vs 93 octane plus environmental differences as well. We'll need someone from this forum to do a dyno of their fk8 and someone's fl5 on the same day, same machine, same fuel...haha
Anyone want to volunteer?
In addition to taller final drive, wider and stickier tires also help too.
The link I sent for FK8 was from. Dynojet as well. It was most likely on 91 octane.
Note to all that Dynojet was known to put out higher numbers than dynos with rollers, at least in the past that I can remember. But...
Update from Hondata with FK8 comparison:
-----Original post----
307whp / 327lbft
Power seems expected but that torque seems quite high. Mind you this is 93 octane. I think it's 91 octane recommended.
Here's 2018 on Dynojet with I think 91 octane (293whp/283lbft)...
Typo when I typed it. I definitely entered R19 in tire calculator. Fixed.
Also noticed it was double posted cus first time I tried to post site was unresponsive to even load pages. Deleted the double post.
Summary I guess is we might see slightly slower acceleration based on all data we have...
Translation is still tough but this is probably one of the first road tests I've seen. Hard to make out much detail but was looking at speed vs redline where he hit 104km/h in 2nd and 144km/h in 3rd. So this does match up against the following using 265/30/R19 for tire:
Here's the same for...
Remember that people who care to post about paint issues are ones having paint issues. Paint on cars is inconsistent.
There are also people that report no issues with paint. So I feel as if there were production line issues for some cars. Remember civic is usually the best selling sedan so...
This is really good info right here. I had been sifting through the Japanese material a while ago but the H0 revision tires didn't come up. Hopefully there will be other sizes for those downsizing to 18" but this could be pretty exclusive.
I've sent DMs. Just don't want to publicly announce it. DM me if anyone wants to know.
Also, it's not 10k accessories. I'd be much more happy with that. It's 10k profit on top. So easiest way is if you have a trade in that let's them make that much. It's basically a loophole for not being...
It's been a few days since I made an update, mainly because I've been going back and forth and wasn't sure if there was ever to be light at the end of the tunnel. So here goes:
- Sept 2021 deposit, #2 spot
- Recently told I was #3 (sales manager that signed the deal left and someone else jumped...
Like clockwork, the dealer has screwed me over. I was 2nd, deposit down sept 16 2021. Now without explanation, I'm 3rd. What's worse, they retracted their 3 car for 2023 and it's now 2 cars with one 2024 model, none of which have ETAs. :mad::bs:
I would suggest everyone ask their dealer to...
I'm trying to find out about my #2 as well. Haven't gotten an update for couple days. Pinged again this morning. Fingers crossed.
This is really ridiculous they don't keep track better. Managing expectations is extremely important in customer facing situations!
For SI, we got a long list of things US didn't and it was cheaper when doing the conversion. Hopefully we'll get heated seats and a few other goodies.
I don't think it's asking for too much. US price is not just because of FX. If it is, our price would be 8k more. It's not limited to Honda...
This is amazing! Price increase over 2021 is more than reasonable unlike US price.
Also, this is the second or third time of Canadian car having parking sensors. Wonder what else it has that US doesn't.
