The ingredients is there to make a very compelling car. A two, or even four-door coupe hatchback is close enough in ethos to the original car. Combine the Type R drivetrain with sh-awd, along with Hondas chassis tuning, and that has the potential to be one of the best performance cars, sub-50k...
I've had the Sportlines on my Si since last fall. I don't rub often, but the roads in NY are bad enough to make me regret dropping it every, single, day. When it comes to handling, It's a mixed bag. You'll be able to corner faster and lean on the outside rear wheel, as there's still some body...

I'm having a similar issue when going over bumps. I hear a clunk from all four wheels which is a little unnerving. The top of the rear springs on my car have many inactive coils. Do either of your cars look like this?
I got the Sportlines installed after over 22000 miles on stock suspension. Highly recommend you get an alignment once the springs settle. I had 2.1 and 3.0 degrees of camber at the rear wheels after the install. The steering was off-center and the rear wandered and felt disconnected. I'm using...
I think Nissan is in a better space going forward. They restructured their alliance with Renault so that they can stop chasing volume, downsize and focus on making ambitious cars again. Ngl, I had to look up HICAS Lol, but I believe the modern equivalent would be some sort of electrification...
Nothing but respect for Nissan who, despite being in shambles recently, releases a new sports car in 2020 with a manual. Don’t love the styling but it is clean and I appreciate it how it pays homage to Zs of the past without looking retro. Fingers crossed for Toyota responding with a manual Supra.
Hey everyone,
Currently on Eibach Sportlines. They’re great so far but had an alignment done recently and the shop brought this to my attention. Is it normal for the coils in the rear to be stacked so tightly? Should I contact Eibach? The rear does feel harsher on impact than the front...
No, nothing wrong with my car. Boost comes on quick in city driving, but drive more spiritedly and you still need to be higher in the rev range for better throttle response. Maybe this is due to the use of mono scroll turbochargers. This is of course my opinion.
Stock for stock, I think the K Series engines are superior to the L15. You still have to be in the upper rpms in the L15 to be moving, otherwise you get caught off-boost and you're reminded of how small the engine is. But once you factor in fuel economy, emissions, packaging and the aftermarket...
The K20c1 in the Type R, maybe. The K20c2 in the base 10th gen? No way. But to answer your question, it can rev to 9k and has potential to make more power once boosted (but less torque) than a K20c on stock internals.
Yeah, time will tell if that was a good move on Ford's part. It's unfortunate, the new Focus St looks really good. And no, no blame, I understand why they did this. It's the same reason they cut a foot off the rear of the Pilot and called it a Passport Lol. Profit. And I agree, the Type S looks...
First the Accord, now the Civic. I understand the business decision, but for nostalgic reasons, this makes me sad. In a sea of grey SUVs, it was always cool that Honda made a coupe because, well, they wanted to. I feel like a lot of these niches cars are going away and It's only till you get...
Another observation are the headlights. They have the Honda style LEDs and not the Jewel Eye design from Acura. Also the car is testing in Europe, where the last Type Rs were developed before production and where Acura doesn't exist. As far as it being AWD, I can't tell, but that seems like the...
99% sure It's not an Accord Type R. Honda have already said they don't want to dilute the Type R name. Also, the Accord isn't sold in the UK, Europe, or Japan, and I believe those are biggest markets for the Type R outside of North America. It's also not an Acura. On some spy shots you can see...
