Jesse Solozano No they don't. Lmao do you know how expensive that is? On top of that, the K20s and B18s would have to be longitudinally mounted (which would be weird to manage in such a small engine bay), and a new transmission and rear end would need to be custom tailored for the car to run RWD. It's literally easier and cheaper to tune the car and keep it FWD.
Me: Clicks video Opens another tab Frantically searches Craigslist for a half decent EP3 to play with Sees only a few EP3s, but they're all trashed and the sellers are asking too much for them Cries in a corner Replays video
That black EP3 was a monster. So was the EG6 with the yellow headlight decal. The yellow EF9 earlier on was all point and shoot business. Except for that black EP, you have a sense that those sporting double wishbones did a bit better in technical corners like these
The Civic at 6:16 really confused me, haven't seen one like that, then I look at the back an it's an EP Civic. I look at the front again and realise they've wrapped the headlights and front end to make it look more modern. Somehow it's pulled it off.
@@ruket907 yupp!stock engine i got my fg2 to 12.98sec 1/4mile! I shit on new type r s all day loll and most turbo cars out there..they need 400whp to stand a chance
Awesome video! That black type-R is SCARY!! I nice idea would be FWD only videos / rwd only videos / awd only videos ! This way we can compare the performanbce of each platform.
its a shame that people associate this sound with ricers because the k20 and k24 engines sound amazing at high rpm, with the drawback of a sound thats an... acquired taste, I guess you could say... in low rpm. but listen to a rotary engine in low rpms, talk about an acquired taste. I happen to love both
They only do it in US. In Europe we respect a lot any N/A 4pot which takes 7-8-9k rpm brought to rallye, hillclimb, track, etc. 205 T16 is a legend, as well as Impreza WRC, Lancer Evo, Celica GT4, and all the 4cyl rallye legends. Same happens in Asia or Latin America. Ricers is a US concept
Only idiots say that. A 1990-93 Honda Accord (not exactly a sports oriented car by any means) has the same skidpad lateral G performance as an M3 of the same year and is undoubtedly on much lower performance tires from the factory.
These are Hondas after all. :D Heck, even my slow 2010 Eurohatch Civic corners really well, it does have a sports package of sorts though. The engine isn't exactly "sports level" with a mere 100HP, but it's an eager little engine.
Where's 6th gen VTI and EK? Own a 6th gen Civic and can confirm it goes around a corner with ease. I like driving it on some mountain passes with lots of serpentines. Weighs around a tonne so it's not an issue going fast through a corner with some good tyres.
goosebumps walkaway Even in japan it’s overshadowed by the EG and EK civics and the newer civics unfortunately I driven my aunts stock Si variant it’s a smooth ride in my opinion
@@kaybevang536 totally agree mate, Japan loves it's older civics. I drive an EP3, had it 8 years now. UK loves hot hatches, like to think this version was built for the UK market given the popularity since the late 70s, we've had some really cool ones over the years.
Anyone know of any good videos of ed/ef civic hatches like the one at 2:00? If so can you send me a link just in case I forget to check this video for a reply, thanks.
That Honda at 6:15 is what btcc drivers Michael Doyle matt Hamilton matt neal Dan Eaves James Kaye and mark proctor all drove along with Tom Chilton and Alan Morrison
cause the vtec cams are replaced with cams that are faster from the lower rpm range, vtec only helps fuel economy when you are not the in the vtec range. so now its kinda on constant vtec.
***** Hmm if so , why not just use " high cams " as for it's the same principle no ? As you said , the main purpose of VTEC it's just because people want both fuel economy and earlier valve opening time. But as for " high cam " it's constant thus ending up high fuel consumption even during idling or low speed
***** wrong. it all depends on your intake and exhaust system. im sure they are still using vtec. more than likely they are using cams with more aggressive primaries and faster ramp speeds.
