BUT can't really tell unless you see it personally.

lol
Its a totally new base i'd assume, they didnt just move the engine bay back

very nice... any chance of getting some exterior pics of the car? Would really like to see some non-professional shots of the new CU Euro

Gears are closer so easier to accelerate.
Its deceptively quick.

I heard that CU2 loses raw feeling when VTEC kicks in compared to CL9? How do you feel when kicking VTEC on your CU2?

The reason why I said raw was referring to how hard VTEC kicks in. Forgive me if you did not understand, it's just my way of describing things. Compared to CL9 I've driven my friend's Civic EK9 VTiR and its VTEC kicks harder than CL9. I guess CL9 only kicks in way softer.

man, when vtec kicks in driving my CL9, those people 3 lanes across gotsta look out

Yeah, it would be great if you could take pics of the trip computer screen functions. It will certainly help those of us who are contemplating purchasing this vehicle in the future. A good consumer is a well informed one, hehe.

Nice review. that new gearing looks sweet. i wish my CL9 was geared like that. Pity about the header being built in though. Im guessing its a good job though.

I can't even tell the change in engine sound on my CL9. hhehehe. I'll post up dyno vids later and you try to listen for when it passes 6000rpm. Broken vtec ftw!
