  1. Is anyone backpedaling from Type R to an Si?

    Funny that you should say that. I bought a 10th gen Type R, and wouldn't consider myself a fanatic. It's the first Honda I've owned and I don't have plans to buy another (nor plans not to buy another). My car is completely standard and I'm happy with my purchase. It still feels 'special' to...
  2. Throttle House Type R comparison video

    The video shows the car wearing Continentals, and the voice over says the car "wasn't tampered with" which makes us assume it is as it left the factory. Since you're obviously more an expert than us on this particular vehicle, please do humor us with why it both launches horrendously and wins...
  3. Throttle House Type R comparison video

    Not 100% sure on this, but isn't the car tested by Throttle House a press car provided by Honda? You'd think it would be odd that they would give the press cars that weren't delivering peak performance. The FL5 has fresh 265 Michelin Pilot Sport 4S on it. The FK8 has ... well we don't even know...
  4. Throttle House Type R comparison video

    How is that odd? Imagine someone gets the jump on you and they are doing 30kmh when you're doing 10kmh. Logically when they are doing 100kmh you're only doing 80kmh, when they are doing 150kmh you're only doing 130kmh or something like that. Basically if you have two identical cars and one gets...
  5. 2023 Civic Type R FL5 - Reviews Compilation (Articles + Videos) ✍🏻 🎥

    Also the FL5's tyres were fresh and the condition of the FK8's Contis? Who knows. My FK8 currently has Contis with 20000kms on them and I can tell you they are hot garbage compared to when they were fresh. I can spin 3rd in the dry. I never "launch" my car as it's hard on clutch/drivetrain and...
  6. 2023 Civic Type R FL5 - Reviews Compilation (Articles + Videos) ✍🏻 🎥

    Not really a fair comparison since the FL5 is on better tyres. Even in the video the FK8 spun 2nd from a roll and still won. Putting better wheels and tyres on an FK8 is a lot more trivial than shortening the diff ratio and trying to shave 30-40kg off the FL5. That said, I suspect the FK8...
  7. 2023 Civic Type R FL5 - Reviews Compilation (Articles + Videos) ✍🏻 🎥

    I suspect because the FK8 has a shorter differential gear ratio (4.11) than the FL5 (3.842) and the extra power of the FL5 is not enough to make up for it and the extra weight. The 4.11 gear ratio is also why the FK8 is more susceptible to break traction in 1st and 2nd, regardless of tyres...
  8. JDM FL5 Track Test - Oil/Watch temp shown

    sounds like Gran Turismo, it's 100% pumped in lol
  9. 316 HP / 310 lb-ft Power Figures Leaked For FL5 2023 Civic Type! (via Brochure)

    In Australia we got the FK8 delivered with the same official engine output as north america, and we have what north americans call '93 octane' (98RON here) available just about everywhere. The head of Honda Australia said with 98RON the car will make more power than claimed, whatever that means...
  10. Type-R Onboard Ride Along Track Video - WITH Exhaust Sound

    some italian dude screaming in the passenger seat lol. Probably just a new exhaust and maybe swapped the turbo knowing Honda.
  11. Low Range but still have lots of fuel?

    As the fuel sloshes around it will churn up any debris in the tank. Also the pump sits at the bottom of the tank so will suck up anything that settles anyway. The idea is that any contamination that enters the tank gets collected in the fuel filter and you replace it periodically before it gets...
  12. Late Development Speculation

    I think that given Honda have been producing the turbo K20C for 7 years and in that time only 'upgraded' it to produce an extra 10hp, I don't think you're going to see a substantial redevelopment of it. Maybe they can eek another 5-10hp out of it without making 'major' changes. The development...
  13. 11th GEN CIVIC TYPE R SPIED!!

    Looks civic to me Side windows are more reminiscent of the current accord, and the door handle location is different. Otherwise things are very very similar to current civic.
  14. 11th GEN CIVIC TYPE R SPIED!!

    That side profile tho Looks to have exactly the same proportions to the FK8 to me. Look closely at the distance between the edge of the front door and the wheel - it's basically the same. The camo tape makes it look like the front overhang is enormous, but the FK8 is the same. The 10th gen...
