[Double R]

I only got a 1/4 tank with my CTR back in July last year. And a 1/4 tank for my Accord Euro AND 06 Accord VTI.

I'm interested in your Ipod cable. Care to provide a bit more detail?

I regretted not mooching an ipod cable when I got the car.

Anyone noticed that the MP3 player doesn't have gapless playbacks for mixed albums etc? It's annoying for long cruises.

Is the clock only in 24 hour format? Not that I can't interpret 24 hour time, but sometimes you just don't want to think for 1/2 a second.

LD_Mart: congratz on the FN. More details on the amp kit please?

It does feel more torquier than the Integra Type R.

Redline at end of 1st is 62km/h and at end of 2nd is just shy of 100km/h.

I've recorded a 0-100km/h time of 6.7s so Honda's official time isn't a lie despite all the "unachievable criticisms" out there.

how was that timed? None of the Australian testers using proper equipment can get close to that. And you do realise that when your speedo on the CTR says 100kph you are actually doing 92kph?!

Also, Motor Magazine tests with 1 passenger on board.

Even without a 100kg passenger it is not going to make up the more than 1 second gap between Hondas 6.6 second claim and what the testers are getting to a "true" 100kph

Maybe without passengers, in cooler climate, with good tyres (perhaps semi slicks), precise redline shifts, and a perfect launch you might be able to get mid 6 seconds for the sprint to 100km/h :P If you're really keen then maybe remove the spare tyre since the car's already kinda overweight

Well if you are really going to try you are going to ruin your clutch and your car won't last long
