Looks like everyone is angry ---> when I called Civic Type-R 'ricer'.:hmmmm:. Heheh, no need to get angry lah.. Yes, maybe I shouldn't call it rice, but the Civic Type-R was based on a 4-door, front wheel drive passenger sedan, which means it's not developed as a true sports car from the beginning. The NSX and this, it's successor is developed as track machines from the ground up, same class as previous skylines and R35. Sure got different.

After the NSX, Honda didn't really want to develop pure sports car like Nissan did with their Fairladys and Skylines. Instead, they rely too much on Integras and Civics as their most sporty lineup, which is sad..

I drive civic too (old one lah, not type r sum more )

i drive FD2R and i'm not angry at all with your statement. you are entitle to your opinion and i respect that.

like i mentioned before perhaps the FD2R is not a pure sport car because maybe of its front wheel setup but the ability of the car to take corner is mind boggling

try ask continental drifter to take you one lap of sepang. perhaps after that you might have some respect of what a 4 door sedan front wheel car can do.

 

[g4i8y0t]

perhaps, one day you can take me for one lap at sepang subcon?

 

[TimLang]

This is serious business! haha

Perhaps you were misinformed or perhaps in your opinion, a true sports car should at least pack 250hp or more. Ask anyone who sat on a Type R before, if they are any less sportier than the GTRs or Fairladyz in Sepang. Sure the Type Rs are slower than them, but in terms of raw-ness? The Type Rs never fail, apart from ABS, there is virtually no electronic traction control or whatever controls to aid the driver.

Or maybe you just prefer a car with a sporty looking look. A Type R is different though, whether is it an NSX or EK9, it's always about racing, not for posers. :P

Guys, what I actually mean is that I'm just glad that honda had found their racing spirit again after the NSX stopped production. Honda just can't compete with with other Japanese sports car maker like Nissan, Mitsu and Subaru if they only have the Type-R in their garage. Accept the fact that Type-Rs can't and can never compete with Skylines & FQ400 Evos.. Why is it that Honda fans can't accept even the slightest critisism to their beloved Honda brand.. Type-R is raw, of course it is since most of the insulation have been removed, that increases the sense of speed even more..

You sir, are different, and are entitled to your own opinion and I respect that. But when it comes to raw-ness, it does not only mean less weight. Perhaps you should read more into the R's engineering and purpose, the driver makes the car turn instead of all the gizmos, granted some prefer those gizmos, but those who appreciates the Rs usually don't want those electronic driving aids to aid their driving.

Ever wonder why some people still prefer the MRS or the Lotus over Evos or Subarus?

Speed can be subjective, we prefer to have the whole package, if you want a 3 sec 0-100 car, I'm sorry, the Rs are not for you sir. However, if you want a cornering machine with no driving aids, then perhaps that's the car for you.

but the Civic Type-R was based on a 4-door, front wheel drive passenger sedan, which means it's not developed as a true sports car from the beginning.

THIS clearly shows u DON'T KNOW wat ur talking abt!d VERY 1st Type R spirit car was d NSX-R...thn came d Integra DC2R n also it's 4door sibling,d Integra DB8R......thn came Civic EK9.....la8 on came d Civic EP3R...Integra DC5R....thn only came d Civic FD2R whc is a 4dr "sedan".(i'm not listing d FN2R coz i din like it!haahhahhah)..SO,whc part of d Type R is ACTUALLY based on a 4door platform?even if u 1na argue dat d FD2R is "based" on d garden variety FD2 Civic,u better go do ur homework coz both d chasis r totally different..go search wat Keiichi Tsuchiya said whn he 1st test drove d 4dr FD2R!

thn,came anoda statement frm u whc sounded like dis--->"Accept the fact that Type-Rs can't and can never compete with Skylines & FQ400 Evos.. "

now i really wonder wat type of RICE u eat?can make u go high 1,is it?hahahahahhaha
all in all,yes,ur entitled 2 ur opinions..but kindly get ur facts straight.....i'm not Honda fan....but whn u twist d facts abt Type R or even d DOHC VTEC/iVTEC technology..der's whn i start 2 get pissed off coz i'm a fan of both!

got me thinking... what you actually meant by "ricer"

ricer - Definition of ricer at YourDictionary.com <----------- is this what you have in mind?

or it is actually this that ya trying to imply?

Rice burner - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia@@AMEPARAM@@/wiki/File:DelsolRicer.jpg" class="image"><img alt="DelsolRicer.jpg" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/86/DelsolRicer.jpg"@@AMEPARAM@@commons/8/86/DelsolRicer.jpg ???????

***the pic is automated from wiki, not by me. i merely "copy paste" the URL, no harm intended, sorry in advance***

not a big fans of wiki but then again, it gives you the rough idea eh?

whats wrong with "rice"? i bet everyone here will have rice in their daily diet at least once a day no ? ROFL

"Accept the fact that Type-Rs can't and can never compete with Skylines & FQ400 Evos."

NSX-R no? check some offical lap timing around the world how NSX-R (which happens to be the "Type-R"..... in fact, while ya at it, look up some other R's official timing. They may not be the fastest, but they are there on the list.

"but the Civic Type-R was based on a 4-door, front wheel drive passenger sedan, which means it's not developed as a true sports car from the beginning"

Evo and Subaru, doesnt qualify and wasnt based on a 4 doors? hmm? shall i safely assume that 2 doors chasis and non mass market based design is targeting a niche market, hence, sport cars? targeting those car enthusiast?

"After the NSX, Honda didn't really want to develop pure sports car like Nissan did with their Fairladys and Skylines. Instead, they rely too much on Integras and Civics as their most sporty lineup, which is sad.."

You are also a customer of HONDA, why not apply a job and join them, so you can perhaps change their direction? or share your valuable thoughts with them? so they wont be labelled as SAD? Honda Malaysia <----

"I drive civic too (old one lah, not type r sum more )"

Mmmm.... then i think yours is safe and not a ricer....maybe porridge?congee?burbur?
whatever it is, i love both rice and porridge... they give me energy !

If you are a car lover, regardless of the make and model, you will appreciate the technology,time, effort, every car maker put in their car. No one is bashing. Just remember one thing, whatever you drive, doesnt reflect who you are. What you say does.....

Have fun! and continue ...

 

[akuma]
