FL5 Type R vs DE5 Integra Type S | Savagegeese

Your response was reminiscent of Hemingway himself.

War changed me, but it changed us all man...Seriously, I was writing that hearing Jack B58's voice in my head. My fingers were just instruments for his voice, like Mozart composing the music of God.

Thank you for your video, well put and well developed.

One additional difference I'm noticing is that the diffuser on the typeS is not a functional diffuser like that on the typeR.

Awesome video @savagegeese! Was wondering if there's anywhere we could see more of the technical slides from Acura you shared in the video? Also, did Acura tell you whether the ITS actually generates net downforce? How different is it from the FL5 aerodynamically?

The slides are very basic mostly borrowed from CTR.

Also downforce is less however lift is similar to CTR. Overall I didnt notice it on track.

The R and S share the same exact chassis right? Difffent from their respective base models?

I believe in the video Jack said the body is stiffer on the ITS than the FL5?

Same architecture however the platform was modified for the Integra. The Integra body in white is different than Civic to make it longer and wider.

Yes 3% stiffer because of added body adhesives. Not noticable in real world.

I'm just going based off what I saw at 16:06 of savagegeese's video lol comparing that diffuser (more of an aesthetic) to the type R's closed off diffuser. As to the degree of the functionality, I have no clue

Savagegeese, your content is top notch. My son and I watch your videos all of the time and appreciate your hard work. Keep it up!

Great vid. Did you beat them up about why the car doesn't get a better seat at least as an option? Comp seat like the C8 for example? Little birdie told me they didn't want to spend the money on a component at the factory to be able to install such a seat.

Also I would rather have the FL5 exhaust I cannot stand the crackle toon stuff.

How impressive / not impressive was the Marysville assembly plant for the ITS? Did you get a sense that they treat the assembly of the Type S differently or more bespoke vs the other cars made there?
