No launching yet.

I had VSA kick in a few times though. Cornering is so much fun in this car.

Yeah, the engines are fine. The Honda salesmen got aquainted with them
flogging them around a racetrack. ;)

They do loosen up a bit more though. It does rev fairly freely though.

I got no way of measuring 0-100 time sorry. I think I need to get a G-tech meter! LOL.

in my opinion this car will look so much hotter when on 20s and vip style rather than jdm. but who knows yet.

havent seen any modified so far.

wait, so if you want to put on extractors your going to need a new engine head?

just as a general comment I took it to max 5,500rpm for the first 1,500km when we got the 07sport civic just so the brakes and clutch bed in. After that it was redline 24/7 and now the car has 47,000km on the clock and it honest feels like it's loosened up so much from the flogging. It feels heaps strong.

Im thinking 18's or 19's. I live in the country though, and I still value a bit of ride quality. LOL!

Mugen released this bodykit for the new Accord a day after it was released, so hopefully the kit for the Euro isn't too far away...

Yep. Or start cutting. :p
Pity, thats where alot of the kW gains come from with this car.

Thanks for the review mate! Great looking car, colour and everything :D. Looks fantastic!

Excellent write up!
Its great to read a review thats completely unbiased and also giving the pros and cons between the two models.

Thanks!

Excuse my naivety, but I am not a CL9 owner.
What is the aux input - USB?
Does the CD stacker play MP3 disks?
What do the 5 10 15 mean in the trip computer under the l/100klm setting?

Thx.
