Wrong.

118kW x 1.3592233 = 160.38hp

From http://www.markhorrell.com/tools/power.asp

1 kilowatt = 1.34102 UK horsepower
1 kilowatt = 1.35962 metric horsepower
Honda Australia uses metric figures and quote 160bhp for the EK6 hatch as does Honda US with their EM1 VTiR coupes. Actually, Honda US doesn't quote KW at all, just bhp - go tell them they are wrong :P

I wouldn't normally carry an insignificant point this far, but a certain mag racer has questioned my knowledge and made a nice generalisation about the posts I make.

If I was a lesser person, I'd call him a tosser.
