FIRST SHOTS: 2018 Civic Si Sedan Prototype

Not unless you get a used one , I'm sure they'll be some in the market within 6 month period.

Well that's a totally different scenario...you might find a bunch of them from colder climates when people realize 300+ go FWD cars are not very good crossover vehicles lol

BRING ON THE PARTS BIN!
Have not deeply researched but maybe that LSD - though an aftermarket maybe better and cheaper. Maybe that exhaust, bumper are ugly - hate fake plastic vents - seats - instrument cluster red unless that turns out to be programming thing and not the cluster itself - which I suspect as it is really just a color monitor.
Hoping, like the wrx / sti, we can swap a manifold and gain some good power.

I'm afraid the manifolds are cast with the heads...

Really. both intake and exhaust?
that sucks. Had a '03 focus and was shocked when I was installing a fuel rail for nitrous that the intake manifold was PLASTIC. I quickly over tighten the rail and stripped that plastic screw threads. When from a $30 fuel rail to a $300 new manifold.

Ah. no I think just the exhaust side. The intake side is composite (plastic) material as I recall.

I think you are wrong for at least the intake side, which is where there should be gains to be made.

It will probably sell close to MSRP even used. I remember the price gouging with Integra Type-R's longer after the production run.

I am hoping somehow this will affect the S2000 prices so it will finally start to come down after this crazy hike in the past 4 years.

ACC won't work with a manual transmission. No way for the computer to change gears if the car slows down too much.

Our '12 Si Cruise Control & Resume function works just fine at/above its 25 mph engagement speed in any gear - there's no reason ACC couldn't do the same, if programmed correctly to disengage if "lugging" becomes an issue. Just takes a little imagination to program it.

Also - there's no indication (spec or photos) that the NA CTR will have ACC or LKAS.

That should work on our favor since we live in the east coast lol.
