hrm, i've grown to love the new ctr, though it does seem the performance lacks somewhat.

From what i have heard, the engine is pretty amazing, much better than the audm dc5r, though serzly, does the fn2 really need dual zone climate control ???

You think its possible when/if the FD2R comes to AUS, the fn2r will be labelled Type S ?? coz as much as i love it, i think essentially thats what it is. I mean, if i was after a daily car, yeah fn2 Type S for sure, i'd love one. but the label of Type R is maybe a bit much... ESPECIally now i hear of 78kg of creature comforts, dual climate control included, wtf on a type R ??

[preludacris]

oh and Chris_typer , ur comments really make the fn2R sound like a Type S lol.


woops sorry, brought this thread back from the dead.

well unfortunately i think the FN2R is chasing the Golf GTI which has tons more features than the FN2R as it is now.

i think calling it Type S is a wrong. afterall it has the red top K20A. Euro R would be a more fitting name.

see.. i did the thread on Ek4 vs FN2 which got deleted of coz..lol.. FN2 0-100 is only 7.7s... an Ek4 with I/h/e ctr cams,spoon flywheel,exedy clutch etc.. can at least keep up right.. sure be able to do flat 8s at least.. so tat prove my point that the new type R heavy body is holding it behind.. the Ek9 is still the best type R!!

jus a comment.. dun take it seriously.

Even a family car with I/H/E, cams, flywheel, clutch can be quicker than a stock EK9. You can't compare modded to stock.

0-100km/h times is over rated.

many people complained that factory claim for FN2R is 6.6sec and claims it's BS.

afaik 6.6sec is 0-60mph which does not equal to 0-100km/h. the 2nd gear is just shy on 100km/h and would require change to 3rd which loses time.

0-400m or 1/4 miles are a better indication for standing start.

the Ek9 is still the best type R!!

no way. THE best type R is this NSX-R

[preludacris]

what is the rev limiter for new fn2 ? i think the redline is 8400??

maybe honda got that 0-100 time takn it to full rev limiter in 2nd? but i thought the gear ratio's were shorter than that...

[Chris_typer]

Yeah redline is 8400.
