  1. 2023 Civic Type R Sets New FWD Track Record at Nürburgring!

    Regarding FL5 CTR record. I said it on different occasions since they were testing FL5 CTR. Almost always it appeared running together with / bench-marked against FK8 CTR. This showed that either it would not be significantly faster or (even worse) it was slower and they struggled to make it...
  2. Rollout of the FL5 and the Big Tease - Decreasing want for this car?

    FK8 has super-car presence. Yes it breaks design rules. But the result is something dynamic, spectacular, mean looking. Is the car that the boy in you would have liked/imagined drawing. Before getting his head stuffed with all this society compliance education. I went on holiday to Southern...
  3. Rollout of the FL5 and the Big Tease - Decreasing want for this car?

    Hi Your car cost like €35,000 ? Now the new one is 20.000 more? And is hybrid only for Europe (2 liter N/A engine + electric) meaning it comes with all buts and ifs compromises. You can get better than this. Just buy a FK8 Type R or another 10th gen Civic. You'll save 10k at least.
  4. Rollout of the FL5 and the Big Tease - Decreasing want for this car?

    Even for 5-7k more you get a more refined car/interior, rwd, more potent engine. Not saying CTR does not have its strengths but not a 50k plus car. Savegegeese said the same thing. Btw I own a FK8 CTR which I love. Great car, bought at msrp (40k eur in Europe 2019). But I wouldn't have paid for...
  5. Type-R Onboard Ride Along Track Video - WITH Exhaust Sound

    Nice video. Useful info: - optimized exhaust letting 30% more out - except roof and front doors shared with base hatch the other body elements are custom for type r - turbine blades have different angle and diameter - additional intercooler stage - suspension setup rigid track oriented

  7. Honda posts last Civic Type-R teaser before the reveal on July 20

    Seeing it so frequently alongside(benchmarked against) the FK8 TypeR makes one think that they had a hard time making it more performant. Also afaik the last generation base hatch model is heavier. There will be some improvements but I don't see a dramatic performance increment.
  8. Honda posts last Civic Type-R teaser before the reveal on July 20

    Perhaps you might want to check also failures on their 1 liter turbo gasoline engine. Not sold in US. There are pretty frequent failures of it. Besides weak reliability the solution with belt in a oil slump makes it more difficult and expensive to service.
  9. ? 2023 Civic Type R making public debut January 14 @ Tokyo Auto Salon 2022

    Base Civic xi is significantly heavier. It will be very hard to offset this disadvantage. Perhaps by some lightweight components and power bump. So the performance improvement will be minor. Ovjectively I doubt that now in the era of eco technologies they afford to spend budget on developing a...
  10. ? First Video of 2023 Civic Type R Track Testing at Nurburgring!

    Yes exhaust sounds def better, louder. However this can be a nuissance on long trips - like few hours. I made this year with my TypeR X two 10 hours trips on the highway 80 -90 mph 3000+ rpm 6th gear. Evem with this quiet exaust I can say that it was ok but boderline tiring driving all that time...
  11. 2022 Civic Type R Spied in Best Looks Yet! ?

    It looks ... exciting...? Now seriously if that's it and there is no significant performance improvement I'll stick to my FK8 CTR. I won't take a money loss, time loss (all improvements - ceramic, mud guards, door edge guards, dash cam) to start it over again. No thanks. Also the wing, other...
  12. ? Production 2022 Civic Sedan LEAKED!

    As others said: baby Accord, boring. From the front, the XI looks kind of goofy with those eyes and those mirrors like cartoon character ears. It def lost it's aggressiveness. Glad I have a X Sedan and X Type R. At least they have personality, stand out from the large crowd of anonymous cars...
  13. 11th GEN CIVIC TYPE R SPIED!!

    Front fascia resembles to Accord, rear wing to Type R. And other design elements.
  14. 11th GEN CIVIC TYPE R SPIED!!

    Seeing how the back-end is hanging it should be smth heavy like a battery pack and motors. Considering the upcoming moronic emissions regulations hybrid makes the most sense. They won't add mechanical RWD diff just for the handling. They'll go hybrid to target emissions also. For me getting...
