Thank you dude ;) I modified the brakes (Endless MX72 + Goodridge brake lines), tires and rims (AD08r in 245 40 18 + Enkei RPF1). For the exhaust, i've the tail silencer RC Racing.
Ohh god... Same thing... I've warped 2 times oem disc... First with Pmu HC+ and second with Endless MX72... I wonder if I should change my discs but which ones?
As much as I love the type r, it ain't touching that Porsche in a real race. Of course you could own 3 Type r's for the price of that Porsche. Move that car out of the front of the Porsche and turn it loose, and my beloved type r wont see it again. :( Pretty evident that the car in front of the Porsche was some sort of pace car. Honda certainly has the suspension down pat. Type r is probably the best track car for the money. Let Honda put a 500 HP v-6 in that type r and then maybe Porsche might have some real worries. Are you listening Honda?
Mcufre I don't think 400 is enough. If that is a Targa it might be, but if that is a Carrera you are looking at 600 plus hp! One thing is for sure, Honda has done an outstanding job with this car. For $35,000 you can get a track car that can legitimately challenge cars that cost $20,000 more than it. No small feat.
Mark I agree. That Porsche is merely following the pace car. I imagine he has mods that we know nothing about, and if he wanted to he could leave any car in this video in the dust. Is there a German car for 35K that can compete with this Honda?
In my humble opinion, no current vehicle can compete with the FK2 if we speak of value for money/performance/reliability... but there ... I make my Honda's Taliban... xD
They are incomparable. It's completely different. The advantage with the FK2 is that I did not have to spend a lot of money to have fun on a race track.
Great vid, too bad there's always traffic on the Ring. I've had my Type R 4 weeks- 3 on the summer tires, just switched for winter- boo hoo. I'd just started a "new" (for me) back-road cornering approach; head in a little hot, stab (a LITTLE) brakes late & drop a gear at same time, turn in hard and give it the beans. Seemed to be keeping more of the speed, wasn't trying it long enough on Contis to be sure. Seemed promising, hope I remember it in the Spring. This little beast is already everything I ever wanted in a car & I don't even "know the car" yet. Enjoy!
