Just watched the 2007 July Hotversion " TYPE R returns" . I knew this newest 4dr Type R will be incredible fast, but I was shock that it has a fastest lap time in SUZUKA CIRCUIT compare to this:
CIVIC TYPE R (FD2) 2'35"20
NSX (Type S Zero) 2'35"44
LANCER (EVO VI RS) 2'36"50
RX-7 (Type RS) 2'35"81
GTR ( V-SPEC) 2'39"56
- - - DONE by Dori Dori Tsuchiya - - -

FD2 Civic Type R
1270kg
K20A 11.7:1
225ps/8000rpm
21.9kgm/6100rpm
Bridgestone RE070 225/40R18
320mm Brake disc w/ Brembo pot
- - - - - -

I know this stock Civic has everything a sport/race car needs and it shows on another race that it kills the DC5 Type R in all area, and same quickness on turns compare to NSX. But again I was still shock that it's nevertheless a FF 4DR Civic. . .

However it's all in Japanese w/ no subtitle. There's a part that the Civic compares the NSX TYPE R and DC2 INTEGRA TYPE R. Has anyone watch it and explain that part a bit ?

 

Where can you get that video???!!

From Famous Green Man Tsuchiya . . . .

well .. no

I just download through a source with BT Format.

 

That's a pretty sweet picture.

 

It's hard to believe that it really out performed all of those other Rs, especially the NSX, I have to lean more along the lines of the drivers of the cars and not the cars themselves.

didn't outperform the NSX-R


says NSX Type-S Zero. not quite as good

 

Being a Type R family, the most I respect is really NSX TYPE R .. but I guess now one more, the 4 dr daily 9000rpm rev Civc Type R.

Still haven't seen a head to head battle with the DC2

Can't wait.

And the NSX-R would make the new Civic R look like a Kia Sportage. No comparison there ....

 

always thought that was a cool pic

 

Very kool picture.. i wanna see the video

 

You can download it via bit torrent. Doin that as we speak!

 

you are bringing one of these home with you, right Dooster?

 

just looked at the pic again. is it me or does the NSX look extremely tiny?

I went and took a look at this car personally the first day it became available about 3 weeks ago. I must say it is a very sharp car. Totally forgot about it too. It would be nice to bring that car back. Kind of pricey though.

 

well considering tsuchiya was the driver, you kinda expect it to finish 1st.

a civic type r vs nsx type r... now thats a race

It's just the profile of each of the cars which make it look like that. You're right though! That car's a razor blade!

 

does the 4 dr si have the same engine as the fd2 or close to it?

Has the same engine as the Si coupe, The CTR's engine is a upgraded version of the "Integra" Type R engine.

 

Just read the March 07 issue of Honda Tuning and there was an article there on a test with Spoons FD Civic. They built it prior to the launch of the Type R. Quite similar to the Type R, K20 engine etc etc. But they put S2000 pistons and re-sleeved the block!?? Engine supposedly churns out 245 crank hp. Hard to believe. Interesting part is when they put it against the 4 door DC2 ITR and a 2.2ltr S2000. The DC2 could'nt keep up and was overtaken in the 1st lap! Well it was a mis-match if you ask me, 1.8l vs. 2.0 and 2.2 ltr.

they put an F20C (S2000) crank in it to handle the higher revs it was running
