I don't have an answer about the H0 Cup 2, it could have been a development tire they were using before full homologation was setup. They did work with Michelin to create a specific compound for the car that right now we are told is only available at dealers. That is coming from Honda USA...
So we drove when it was 60F and cars were running all day for 4 laps at a time with 10 minute breaks. During the F1 launch, we were told by support race drivers that Perez and Max ran both cars for almost 2 hours straight, they had zero mechanical issues. (As far as my driving I can't say...
I was already planning to get one before I drove it and was kind of starting to regret the commitment. After driving it at the extreme and on the street I am excited to own one, like NO BS. It's expensive for what it is but it will be a zero regret car for most people who buy it assuming you...
I had to ask for the car like 6 months ago to get one secured. I told them at time I would not pay ADM dealer was allocated car but have not finished process yet. If I had to guess most of the media will unlikely pay ADM out of principle. I know Topher is getting one, Honda Pro Jason and Raiti...
You cannot full disable stability in Individual, we tested and asked chief engineer. And they won't elaborate as to why. The American side told me it was a safety concern. While there are other things that don't make any sense as well. I just think they don't really care. They did the car how...
The spring rates are the same and sway bars. The bushing rates increased for the next generation of tires and chassis stiffness. The dampers are the same, but the range of adjustment is far more extreme. Comfort is softer and +R damping curve is far more aggressive. This is again for Cup2 and...
Because most people have no clue about how car suspensions should feel. If a car is stiff it means it handles good. Person was probably like wow this car is dialed in.
Yes,
Jack is holding onto the 86 until next year. We will run it against Type R, GR Corolla and Elantra N. I will tell you Jack has brakes and dampers done on 86, and with old RS4 Hankooks Britt Casey (race driver) ran an a faster time than Nissan Z and almost same as Supra Auto with Potenza...
I personally think the car should not be touched. I understand the wheel and tire thing of course. If I decide to keep it long term I will work with Ohlins on a real damper setup (read between lines) also will 100% have to reflash the car to get stability control defeated in in Individual...
To be honest we are talking about a 44k Civic. The car is good but it's not a 50k car on any planet. And while I understand the bug up peoples ass to get this car it's not worth that money once dealers are sitting on more inventory it will drive down prices.
I had long discussions about this and will address it in my main video. The long and short of it is the Civic is not a GT3 or Z06 Vette, Ferrari. Those who are getting into cars or love them need cars like Type R and not everyone has insane money for sports cars. I know personally dealers who...
So basically the JDM part catalog access is based on US product planners. I was told over the life cycle they will add more as dealer options but nothing short term. If you have specific parts I can pass it along to them. As of right now you will have to import any of those items.
Based on user name you can likely tell what we do. But there will be many members of media buying these cars. Some for just clicks others because they love it. I got an allocation before driving it based on discussions from insiders. Now that I have driven it and spoken with Chief Engineer I...
