This car is a proper return of Honda Type-R. It is probably the fastest front
wheel drive production car in the world. Still - I would like to see where these
Best Motoring times came from.
for sure it is not, not enough power to hang on with the fastest in the
straight, at the track there is the big ? beacause there is no serious fair
compare vs Europen hot FWD´s like the Renault Megane Sport R26 F1 Team, Megane
Sport Edition, GTI Edition 30, Focus RS, Astra OPC etc. etc.
i might be wrong but wasnt it me who submitted that car? :/
btw i remember that i saw that type r on a Best Motoring dvd. but im not sure
did they really show the lap time, cant remember well...
Yes you added this car car. But it was a re post. A duplicate. So I deleted
yours because someone called "purplemotion" had already added this car and
several lap times.
Ok thanks FastestLaps...
because i was so freakin tired that night so i was not even sure did i post it
or not. And usualy i check if the car is allready there so. A big sorry from my
side :)
You probably did a search for it before you posted but search engine did not
show any results. The searching feature (that little empty field and "Find"
button next to it) needs some improvement. A lot of improvement in fact. For
instance - if someone types in "Honda Civic", nothing is found. In the same
time, if you type in only "Honda" or "Civic" it works and it shows appropriate
search results. I will of course fix this because it can be confusing. Some may
thing there are no Honda Civics at all. And the same problem with other
keywords.
yah i recognized that. i usualy try to type just one word. Then it works pretty
good. It must be kinda hard to keep fixing things. And so far it works fine, so
dont get stressed ;)
This is purplemotion here and I posted the laptimes. You can find the laptimes
by Best Motoring if you have the Best Motoring DVDs for July, October and
November 2007 issues.
The FD2R is very popular over here in Asia compared to the FN2R. 0-100 km/h
acceleration isn't that quick, but the car is extremely fast around corners.
Oh, forgot to add that you must take the results from Best Motoring with a pinch
of salt. I still cannot imagine how the FD2R can be faster than the Subaru STI
RA-R in one of the races...
Especially Tsukuba which is an extremely short circuit, it would appear that the
results of the FD2R is good. However, race it on larger circuits with longer
straights, you will see the FD2R struggling to keep up with the other marques.
I have a problem with the Civic Type R Tsukuba laptime... have found this two
BM 2007 7laps Tsukuba battle..
There the 2007 Civic Type R FD2 was rated with 225hp! More important for that
Tsukuba Battle the 225hp Civic Type R FD2 was equipped with not production tires
and rims..they used as shown in the video Bridgstone Potenza RE55S WTH 245/40
R18 semi slicks!!!!!
They reached with that modded 225hp Civic Type R FD2 as best laptime
1:07.947min..a slower time as here claimed for a stock version.. that does not
work..
This is the Tsukuba 2007 7lap battle part1 were they clearly claim and show the
semi slick use at the Civic!

this is part 2 with the final result and laptimes
http://youtube.com/watch?v=OJ7CYOB09eY&feature=related
this is strange...
Japanese usualy write 225PS which would be about 220HP plus minus... if they
used S-Type tires then the Laptime is not fair compared to all other cars. I
wonder why you think its modded? about the tires you are absolutly right. But
power? :/ So far i understood that he (driver) just said the difference is that
he is using S-Tire. So we should delete then the laptime because of S-Tire, no
other mods where done (my opinion).
adding larger rims with much wider tires (245/40) is modification in my eyes it
improves cornering speed allows later braking..not to talk about the effect to
switch to semi slicks.
In the other BM video about the new Civic Type R it reached 1:7.93.. but there
they droped no word about modifications.. my guess is the time in the other
video was driven with the same tires?
Do you own this BM edition of the new Civic Type R to see if they used similar
modifications? In the other BM video the Type R was able to drive on NSX Type S
level... *rolleyes*
The thing is i need to find out which BM DVD was it. beside that i think they
used S-Tire to get a level of NSX Type S. unless the NSX was driving without
tires :P
in my opinion its kinda impossible to get a 1:07.x time at Tsukuba for a Civic
Type R (unmoddified)
the 7lap battle was from bml#8-2007 (that what is claimed at youtube) the other
Civic Type R video was
this..http://youtube.com/watch?v=rXwapwrHgIU&feature=related
Does anyone know if the new Anglesea Coastal laps for the Type R and JDM Type R
are correct as the ref just says 5th Gear..... the shootout wasn't on TV last
night but it could be in next weeks final show of the series?

The Mugen RR is a tuner car so can't be included
