wot ben said, wth no white!

Seems Honda are doing what Toyota have done.
Look in the spare parts department and slapped in a DC5R engine into a civic.
Just like the sportivo corolla.
Is this just me or anyone seem to think the same?

^ i agree

and it's based an a Jazz platform?? um....no comment.

^and whats wrong with jazz platform????

Oh~ U didn't know? Aussie Uk crappy R only gets Red, Silver and Black. Again, JDM gets white always no matter what.

buddy i think if the japs doesnt have CW type R then they likely wont even call it one. cos the white body with red badge is the soul feature of First type R nsx so yeh...

wow... with 40k + on roads.. now this is the car for some ~real~ R fans.

cheers.

hehehe, i knew you would have something to say...

well, i guess according to Mr Spoon the Jazz platform is quite good, but I still have my doubts

[noodleman]

torsion bar rear sussy?

^hey if they have it in the civic type R and not the base civic...it's got to be good

[nipnip]

IMO jazz is quite a promising platform seeing as there is so much aftermarket support, underrated i reckon, and so is the new swift... though that is strictly my opinion

this is bullS*!t. cars just keep getting heavier and heavier. I'm not looking forward to 20 yrs done the track when light is 2 tonne. Listen to Jenson Button. It is so light....
Look at the Lotus Exige aswell, the first 2zzge beast started at 875kg, now they are making some over a tonne.
Obviously they are using more tehnology and la la la, but come on, it's a Type R. they are losing site. Apparently not with the suspension. lol, went a lil to far perhaps according to Jeremy. haha

actually someone on ozhonda pointed out it's actually not 1345kg...
it's like 1264kg or something.

I would rather have a car that is heavy and has technolgy such as air bags, crumple zones and a stiff chassie than a light car that has no crash protection
