Is that a typo? And what is the context of "fast" - straight line to 100kph, 1/4, around corners, etc.Quote:

Haha thats funny. Might as well bring in the Magnas :D
K lets all drive camry's.
nchan - don't do that sort of thing please. You can see what this thread is about and it isn't pulleys. Do a search first - if you can't find your answer then start a new thread.
Thanks
ok, true, i didn't specify how. twisty stuff type s is great. was thinking more in terms of standing starts straight line. Don't all get me wrong. I think the type s is a great car and would still choose one over a wrx, ss commodore, or camry sportivo. I wouldn't own one if i didn't think it was a crap car.Quote:

In regards to numberplate holders, can you buy ones to fit the NSW plates?
hullabaloo, honda don't provide front number plate holder's apart from the stock size (which is for the more square shaped jap plates). One guy at honda siad most people mount it in the grill part but i took off the holder, screwed one corner of the plate into the current hole and use some strong double sided tape to fix it to the front skirt. (pictured) it's a temporary fix really... but i've not had time to do anything else about it.
if anyone knows of better ways to attached the front plate please let us know.
I think you've lost the plot a bit.Quote:

Thank you.
You ever driven hard out of a sharp corner in a FWD car that has an LSD, and then done the same thing in a car that doesnt have an LSD.Quote:

As to race track LSD differences. It depends on the track, an LSD wont make much difference on a fast track with long corners, but on a tight track with sharp corners an LSD WILL MAKE a huge difference.!!!

I love my 05 Type S, it look nice and clean.
Its comfortable, and it go and stop well... Its got all the requirements that I need for a daily driven sports car.... I don't RACE everyday.. so I don't need RECAROS, LSD, Brembos or harder suspension..
There is 4 problems with my TYPE S.
1. Too quiet. So PowerGetter cat back exhaust fitted after it traveled 300km. I just need a bit more sporty sound.(Problem fix)
2. Noise from left side suspension when parking. So I took it back to HONDA and they changed a new suspension.(Problem fix)
3. Why a such nice and clean looking sports car didn't come with HID? I DIY and fitted one in.(Problem fix)
4. Plastic noise from near windscreen air-con vent when drive on rough suface road.(Problem remain)
sorry, bad wording. let me rephraseQuote:
