I suspect that Honda will do it's Honda thing. 9th he had an increase of 2hp and 20ftlbs of tq. Besides the comments of high revs, people genuinely liked it. Then we end with mid year refresh at 205hp. So I suspect that they'll do the same thing and say, 206hp-210hp 190ft lbs keeping the...

Hood scoop is functional and more aero need than cooling. FMIC area is huge and adequate for intercooler cooling.

There's nothing behind it. Why open the honey comb when you'll be cooling nothing but the splash shield and some wiring for the fog lights? In fact the main reason they are closed and angled is to direct air into the openings at the edges of the bumper. This creates a lower pressure situation...

American Honda has already confirmed a 2 and 4 DR Si. They've also already released the 5DR line up plus the upcoming Type R. There won't be a 5DR Si for the American market

UK has always had a Type S moniker so this article is true for their market. American market is already set as per the American Honda press release. LX thru Sport Touring plus Type R. Just accept the hard truth that there will not be a 5DR hot hatch outside of the Type R upon initial release...

Rumblings where?

And rightfully so. Honda won't increase the price of an Si by $4000 for placement. It'll be cheap like it always has been. $25K tops if that. Leaves plenty of room for CTR

Agreed. LEDs are an easy swap on this generation. No sense in down playing the car when you can just buy higher grade parts. Honda doesn't NEED to produce a certain number to hang. 9th gen pumped out similar track numbers compared to the Focus ST, all for thousands less. Horsepower wars...

To the right of the shifter. Where the ECO button would normally be

Yes. Usually 10-15mm.

Sensing can be had with a manual it just will not included low speed follow. It would kick out at a certain speed See Euro Type R. Honda sensing included.

Haven't been on in a while but some observations I've seen from spy photos and videos. The hood vent is not a cooling feature for a top mount. You can clearly see the FMIC in the lower center. With the removal of the fender vents, it tells me Honda is looking for more aerodynamics for higher...

The argument of the Si vs the CTR is a tough call. Both will offer good performance albeit different leagues. Both will offer that "sports" appeal. However I can guess there will be a $10K difference or close to it. Honda isn't in the business to move the Si further up the range of the pricing...

I'll still put my money on 1.5T with VTEC

Awesome seats. Looks heavily bolstered. Similar to Euro Type R, but not quite as aggressive. HEATED SEATS! Sport button on the shift console. I have my suspicions about that. Some level of adaptive suspension? Single piston floating caliper setup. Meh, solid, but I expected that from the Si...

I agree with this. By saying "the chassis will be different" is a totally loaded statement. The chassis is what makes the car! IRS, weight reduction, chassis stiffening, aero, etc all pay into this concept. The current Type R is extremely limited for what it is. It's framework foundation was...

227hp out of an engine that could potentially produce 305 from the factory? I'd be highly disappointed if the 2.0T was offered this low. Maybe if the 1.5T topped out there I'd understand. But not from an engine that is slated to replace a lot of the V6 applications through the lineup. If they...

How do you know this? They had to pull the trigger a long time ago to implement the development. especially if we are a year out form seeing it.

Let's hope you're right. Let's also hope your screen name means you work for HRA

I'm not sure about the 1.5T startup warming procedures, but usually turbocharged engines do not pull the vacuum that NA engines do at startup. To warm the cats up quicker usually there is more gauge pressure in the system. Without the use of an electric vacuum pump, which your brake booster...
