wish there was truth to this
 

Im gonna say my prayers every night until this gets released:

During a recent press drive for the Euro-market Civic Type R (which resulted in this month’s WR cover story), our European Editor, Matt Davis, caught some heavy hints that a variant of the hot hatch is indeed headed Stateside in 2010.

Though the assistant chief engineer from Tochigi was loath to talk specifics, the plan is to offer a package in keeping with the Japanese-market Type R, and include a horsepower boost and a limited-slip differential. :6

--------------------
new CRX in devolopment as well. I only hope that bitch comes with a K motor!

that 4dr ---- is homosexual... the Honda died in '01 with the termination of the Integra... from the performance side of things... if you want a TL or something cool then its still rockin...

Re: wish there was truth to this
 

wow, to everyone else that sat through half that retarded video on top, wasnt that horrible? car looks tight though. type ARRRR

Re: wish there was truth to this
 

i only made it out about a couple seconds after i seen a F20C in a BMW...then started looking at the other ----

Re: wish there was truth to this
 

the new civic R is going to be bad ass IMO. the verno shop here is suspossed to get one in this month. im gonna be there for the fucker to roll off the truck. ;) (well, hopefully anyways :P)

I didnt see a video. im at work, probably didnt load.

Re: wish there was truth to this
 

The video of the civic made it look pretty quick...

that other video was pretty retarded though haha. nice swap though.

K20A + S2k internals FTW ;)

Spoons also building a K20, it will consist of K20 crank, B16 rods, and S2K pistons.

Re: wish there was truth to this
 

That's an odd mix.

Re: wish there was truth to this
 

Looks like s1mpl3x and some chica. Anyway:

------- correct, my man, the K-shite is an inferior pile.

Not really, K-rods and the bearings that ride on them are -----. You have to stuff units from a nearly 20 year old engine into a K to make it hold okay power levels without shitting the bed.

All the same girl

Re: wish there was truth to this
 

ok, I'm done, pipes were a little backed up needed flushing.......

I can't say much about a "Hype R" that was tested last week at a closed track session in California. But the person that was helping the testing also had a part in the retuning of the valving in the shocks for the 4 door Civic Si, he might be running one of my trannys in SCCA IT? class.

Re: wish there was truth to this
 

ROFL.. wow this thread...

I just saw complex/heather saturday... im deciding on what to pig out on by a little charley's steakery in the mall and all i hear is OMG ITS DAN... and everyone turns.... hahaha

and i think jon almost got his head knocked off....

Re: wish there was truth to this
 

interesting. my buddies K20 see's 11k rpms every weekend, no problems yet. its still stock with the exception of Kpro, a header, exhaust and intake.

Re: wish there was truth to this
 

I'm not impressed. They give it 20 more hp, some fancy wheels, and a body kit and expect it to take on American cars in that price range? SRT-4's would have a field day with that car. I bet even a Cobalt SS would ---- on it. Let's not even talk about WRX's and at the hype-R price range STi's and Evo's.

What Honda should really do is pull up their skirt, grab their balls, and make a real sports car in the $20,000 neighborhood to compete with SRT-4's and what not. And I'm not talking about the S2000, those things are slow.

Re: wish there was truth to this
 

new si. not 1/4 mile friendly...what honda is though. HOnda is built around the F1 legue. do some reseach on Honda.

Re: wish there was truth to this
 

Interesting. There's power to be had at 11K on stock cams, valvesprings? Running a timing chain? And these are the engines that come apart when overrevved... comes apart in pieces the size of your thumbnail, everything internal just flies to flinders. A couple of the local guys with bolt ons, cam, K-poop have been through a few engines each because they over rev them.

Plus, K-poop is an untunable setup... AFRs on tip in are NOT repeatable because Hyundaidata still hasn't figured out what is going on with the K-ECU at the $1000 a pop price level, and reading a max of 11.5:1 AFR on a boosted car is a ------- joke - I am expected to wash the rings with gasoline and lean it outy blind, or am I expected to run it lean at 20 psi and expect it to last long enough to tune it rich? Dougie needs to beg Derek to set the ignorant thing up to log from an aftermarket wideband via an unused ECU pin, and quit marketing usage of the completely inadequate stock piece as a selling point.

I've been through enough of those cars, Frank, to know what I am talking about. Those things are junk.

Re: wish there was truth to this
 

:shrugs:
id love to have one. I want one. im probably gonna own one before I leave okinawa.

Not sayin he makes power at 11k, a downshift nailing 11k comming from a corner is 11k in my book. He drove his from the showroom in '03, been rebuilt once due to lack of oil while gymkhana'n in '05...been running the same set-up since then. To say they are junk is a bit much IMO. My guess, people in the states are ------ um up. Just like they did B's when they were recongized in the USDM. The only place ive even looked at is IPS for parts stateside. Open up vtec sports magazine, they rant over the K.

Re: wish there was truth to this
 

What does reading an advertisement have to do with tech, Frank? You realise those rags are there to tell people who don't understand technical merits what parts they need to buy regardless of whether or not they are parts that do anything.

I repeat, I've seen enough K-faggotry to do me. When the good cheap Civic/DA chassis are gone, and the readily available supply of A/B/D/F/H's in good shape has dried up, I'm gone from the Honduh thing. I've already started tuning non-Honduhs, and might have a shot at a freaking drag bike next month.

Re: wish there was truth to this
 

i will agree with you there. Thats something thats hurting honda is that you can get a faster car with the price they are asking at least in the sport category. Not everyone is just looking for a realiable sports car. if they want something reliable they just get a regular civic that cost less. They do need to up the ani on performance and not just want it to run circles around a track

Re: wish there was truth to this
 

been thinking the same lately... :-\

Re: wish there was truth to this
 

I don't know about teh four door stuff...
http://news.windingroad.com/wp-conte...roto002-sm.jpg

It's a decent enough looking car, but the big blingin wing and side skirts just don't do it for me. It's on par with a Corolla "S".
http://news.windingroad.com/wp-conte...roto001-sm.jpg

Even the wheels look like knock offs...
http://news.windingroad.com/wp-conte...roto004-sm.jpg

If they want to do something great, bring over the European Civic Type R!

When in reality black dragon hasnt even owned a 5spd in his life. Your opinions mean absoutly nothing.
SO back to what I was saying....

I wish sometimes some of you would think outside of that gay straight line...and accually DRIVE a car, what Honda is built for.

Re: wish there was truth to this
 

I live in Western North Carolina. Ever heard of Deal's Gap? 151/Pisgah Mountain? 276? Highway 63? People drive half a day to come to where I am to drive their cars - I live here, I grew up driving these roads.

The nice thing about a boosted car is you can flick a switch and the big power goes away - it's an amazing concept! Aside from ONE nine thousand dollar long block 2.1 liter stroker in a gutted 93 DX, I have yet to ride in a NA Honduh that had enough power to be dangerous in a corner.

Goforth's CRX is the only one of the local turbo cars incapable of cutting corners - but it is a nine second drag machine. Stevo's Civic, 7.79@94, probably do a low 11 or high 10 off an 1/8th mile time like that, needs more suspension work, but due to the torqueyness and tall gearing of the H22 it would be very able to cut some corners... and in the words of Hitchhikkr, who rode in the car Saturday night, "---- a literbike!"
