FD Civic Type-R Launched in Malaysia

[alien]

no lar bro,it design that way cos if u put 2 flexible at the same area,it will foul
each other.it's just there to flex around cos the civic is ff car.

wat do u mean bro? can u elaborate more on this? i wanna noe la

from the pic that u see,the flexible is quite big so that's why the only use 1
n the other runner they just use flange with spring so that both of the runner
can move around.ff car needs flexi cos the engine tend to move forward n
backward.i've seen performance extractor before with dual flexi on the same
secondary runner but the runner is far apart from each other.if i'm not mistaken,
it's toda extractor for dc5.

hmm.. i get it now..

but why would it foul each other if there's one flexi part on each of the pipes?

Subjective, but the UK version looks better though. I for one, will be one of those who would much willingly give up that last 5% of dynamic polish or performance for the looks.

So, UK CTR or JDM CTR? I'd go for the UK one everytime.

Style is subjective too. What looks good to you may not be to others.

And the Type-R mantra is about brutal total performance. Something like the Type Rs NSX , Integra DC2 & DC5.

Something the Euro version doesn't have enough of.

BTW what are chance of a Malaysian Civic Type R being smoked by a RenaultSport Megane R26, or Astra VXR?. Those cars aren't available here anyway.

That's what I said lar.

You say that but the DC2 rides very well, even though it handles like no other FF car. In fact, given FD2 CTR or DC2 ITR, I'd go for the DC2. Or maybe I'd take the CTR, sell it and then get the DC2.

Just planting a thought. Since "brutal performance" is bandied about here, I point out that several other competitors will probably make the CTR feel inadequate, in terms of outright poke mostly. I'd use "purity of purpose", which I did earlier, but then I thought about and realised that they started out with a big fat four door saloon. So that's what it is, a big fat four door saloon that's been tuned to within an inch of its life. No offense CTR fans, keep the knifes away please.

As for the ride, I'd reserve judgement till I actually drive the car. Hard to judge based on what is written in reviews until one actually gets behind the wheel.

I have been in both DC2/5. Rides well on top of the great handling balance.

That goes for the both of us.

Well,anyway the new CTR will changed the views from it's competitors, those who comes with turbocharged or supercharged, are mainly focus on the "kaki kereta" (from a non-kaki kereta's mind), but this CTR can catter for various levels of drivers here in Malaysia, because it's NA and NA is better compared to any other systems, moreover it has bad 225hps, not bad from the NA engine,easy on the maintenance,

and it's FOUR DOORS SUMORE,,,tho...and for those, family man of course..

Today's drivers prefer to drive in a problem-less conditions,where they just drive to office and come back home,and in the same time they also feels like to tapau other car, so the power is there, and the economical factor,of course, it's all in the FD CTR 07...

btw i'm just driving my Old Skool JDM EG6 B16A with CTR Head Cover, still wannabees is all in here,,hahaha

I personally think the europe 2 door R which is available in Singapore does look a bit better in my eyes, but the JDM FD2 4 door has more power and better practically for a daily driven vehicle. So for most people who can only afford one car to take him to work and everywhere with the family, the 4-door FD2-R becomes a more ideal car for the most people in the market.

Yes, a four door R can be converted from a normal civic, but an R is always an R. The ever popular EVO and WRX are all four doors. How many GC WRX 2 doors have you seen on malaysian roads?? I have only seen 2 on the road versus tens and tens on 4 door GC WRX. And one reason EVO/WRX owners buys the car apart from the powerful 280hp engine is that most people will confess that it is a powerful 4 door which is more practical for daily use.

And now, we have an option to a very exclusive 4-door FD2-R which has all the new 2007 technologies, with a better upgraded 225ps engine, better suspension&brakes, 3 year factory warranty etc.

I suppose most buyers of FD2-R appreciattes the technology, design and total balance performance package of it rather than worrying about seening 4 door civic converted wannabe.. A wannabe is and will always be a wannabe only.. If the FD2-R is not good there will be no wannabe anyway... How many Evo4,5,6,7 or WRX STI converted have you seen?? I have seeen many of those converted but i still think the evo/sti are still great car to owned.

[si|verfish]

Yup, that's the Euro model.

 

[MiLd7]

the euro model is not only launched at singapore BUT ALSO BRUNEI ( the most cheap automotive country at ASIA)!!!!!!!

No offense, F1 is a totally different ball game. The amount of resources poured into it to just able to cross the finish line each time is way beyond what is mentioned.
