I’ve heard that they didn’t sort that out yet, but if the mags said it, then I’m out of the loop. My understanding was that the some were pushing for a DCT/Auto option

I’m almost certain that this will be the last ICE Honda with the Nurburgring FWD record. I still don’t know if it’ll be DCT or not, but at this point, it’s in the hands of the car journos to figure that out - DCT would contribute to a faster Ring time and would keep with the Type S’ philosophy.

Hi. 👋

I’ve been saying this for some time. The photo is the OSU horseshoe and it’s driving around OSU’s campus in Columbus, OH. They wanted pics of this car on the internet. The tires are all seasons because it’s below 40F and in Ohio in November. Ever wonder why the Civic Type R keeps making runs at...

When spring comes, if you want/need a fresh, unmodified 2020+ FK8 to compare your FL5 to, message me. There’s a state between us, but I could get there. 😂

🤷‍♂️ 😂

Makes sense! I was thinking back to the FK8 and the test mules running around Ohio prior to the release.

Many Honda engineers/employees in the states have yet to even see one in person and they haven’t had a press event with driving examples yet that I know of. 🤷‍♂️

These are likely going to be press tester cars and HoA cars - still way too early for mainline US shipment.

I wonder if anyone has put any thought into that? Crazy, right? 🤫

You know what’s odd of Honda? They never posted the 2020/2021 facelift FK8 or LE times at the ‘Ring. I’ve got a sneaky suspicion that the facelifted FK8 with the same tires as the FL5 will set a comparable lap time - remember that the FK8 facelift received several suspension and brake upgrades...

It’s not the same transmission as the R. It’s the old Si transmission with some improvements and management/parts from the R. https://www.motortrend.com/news/2022-honda-civic-si-rev-match-shifter-transmission-details/amp/

I’m thinking Tsuchiya will complain about the lack of handbrake before promptly going with CW 😂
