Exact same brakes as the FK8. It’s the wider tire on the FL5 which gives it the advantage there. More surface area and friction to stop the car on a 265 width tire.
that’s surprising since the GTI is the numbest most boring cat of the bunch. If you want a R and can’t afford it then you should probably get an N. but oh well who am I to judge, I’m just a rando internet stranger.
Which car is most bang overall? The comment I was replying to said he wanted not the fastest but the most enjoyable while saying he’d rather have a gti or si over an Elantra N. I love Hondas too, I’ve owned 9 myself. But the N is a damn good car and I doubt anyone would say a lowly Si (I’ve...
You’d be picking the wrong car for enjoyment then. The Elantra N (according to reviewers) is the most fun hot hatch you can get, even over the R. So if you are just going for fun then the N is the way to go.
This means nothing when tuning a civic. Ososik has stated in his videos that the L15 in the 11gen Si has weaker internals. They threw more power at a stock 10gen and it held the power fine through tons of abuse. Unfortunately for the new Si it doesn’t seem to be the case but it takes more than...
In BC that’s illegal as hell. The plate needs to be mounted on the front bumper of the vehicle. I dunno about Ontario but that’s asking to be pulled over.
Maybe the FL5 also traps slower in real life like your saying the FK8 does? Car reviewers like C&D and MT have numbers that no normal person can hit anyways. Easy to compare spreadsheets but ThrottleHouse showed a real life race. Hard to argue it.
I felt like that when I had my 10gen si. Get the R dude, nothing you do to the Si will give you the feeling an R will. At the end of the day it’s a civic. Mine sits in the driveway in the rain, snow, storms and blistering sun. Drive it and enjoy it, it’s the perfect DD/track weapon.
Too much goes into which one is better. Honestly from everything I’m seeing seems to be very comparable between new and old. Car enthusiasts are just lucky as hell we still get one last kick at the can. I’m happy with my FK8 but I’m so excited for others to get experience a car of this calibre...
Yea it’s basically impossible. When I sold my RSX type S a guy from Colorado wanted to buy it. Acura and Honda both wouldn’t write the letter saying it meets US safety demands. They told me they only do this when a person is moving countries and need to get the car register to insure in the US.
