Suits

I reckon this will be very much in pipeline. Roadsters are a proud hobby of Honda and from what I've been told is that any potential future S3000 will be a Hybrid. You've seen this haven't you ?? http://youtu.be/wOKBYCpGMo8

Get some large silia gel packs off eBay for a few quid and hide them in the cabin, they should absorb any excess moisture in there. Then, when they start to be less effective dry them out in the oven for a bit . They work surprising well.

An epic exhaust I see.......

I'm only half that age :p I'm 29 and my Dad's bigger than yours .

I'm getting a new kitten soon. Going to call him Rascasse.

Now I understand that this may not be members cup of tea but I hope it's interesting to you all non the less. I'm a bit of Honda nut at heart and have a very healthy love for their cars and ventures. Now after the extremely successful EP3 CTR which ran from '02-'06 the next generation CTR was the FN2. The FN2 was a bit of a let down, it had the same excellent 2.0L NA K20 engine with an adjusted fuel map and revised exhaust system producing 1 additional HP but the car was a lot heavier, with electrical toys and better furnishings. It also had a torsion bar suspension system at the rear as opposed to the previous sully independent system of the EP3. These were just some of the differences between the two cars. To the layman these things are very minimal and in the real world matter nothing, in fact, they made day to day use of the car possibly better. But the Honda motorsport kind did not approve, as I'm sure you can all imagine, it seemed like a step back. They made their feelings known. Honda in all the time I was involved with them were always very helpful and friendly often lending us cars, inviting us to test cars an generally giving the community a 'your opinion matters' feeling. Honda stated in 2010 that they would be focussing their efforts into the future and would be working on Hybrid technology, the Mugen CRZ was a fine example but seemed to be just a showcase stop gap. It wasn't really a true Honda sports car. They even stated that the next generation of Civic's wouldn't include a Type R version, a possible Type S would be available but it would be a diesel. FAIL Back to now and with Honda's re-entry back into F1 in 2014 and with the success of the BTCC team, Honda stated in 2012 that it would bring back the Type R and set out to re-establish itself in the hot hatch market as the daddy. Something they had since lost from the EP3 to Renault and its fantastic Megan's. Honda had set a benchmark to what the new CTR would be set to achieve, to be the quickest FWD hatchback round the Nurburgring. Something that is currently held by Renault's RS Megane 265 Trophy at 8 minutes 7.97 seconds. A serious claim. Anywho, after various little dribbles of information and news it appears that the new CTR will be a 2.2 litre turbo lump and will have a new 4 wheel steer system to help it get around the green hell in under 8 minutes 7 seconds. Being boosted VTEC will probably be dropped and the new redline will be a lot lower, looks like about 7000rpm as per the video below, which is a hell of a shame but something new I'm excited about non the less. The engine note is a little different to what Honda fans are used too but has a good ring to it non the less, this though is still likely to change once the car itself is sorted and the fine tuning can begin. The car is being built and tested in Europe with the UK Swindon plant being tasked with some serious parts. The first round of testing ending in the car going back to the drawing board for the chassis as it just wasn't working and has since been re-worked and is back out the Ring testing again with each and every snap and un-official video showing further changes. A few of the lads that work in Honda are getting to find out about various little nuggets of information like paint colours being tested and that Team Dynamics wheel will be used, which is hardly a surprise from the BTCC link. Today provided some further news as Matt Neal posted a picture on his Twitter account of what is extremely likely to be the new CTR under further track testing at what looks like Rockingham. So yeah, hopefully this was remotely interesting to some of you and is a sight into the dark side or FWD cars . Some Honda press teaser vids too.

That's an awesome number plate you got there.

Have you seen one in the metal yet ??

Man-bag ??

More addictive than Crack and Jaffa Cakes.

Not my car but a stunning OEM (maybe on springs) LM 370Z.

I have eaten my own body weight in everything today, but a home made bhuna sounds lush.....

That front bumper is porn.

lol FAIL. Anyway, potentially good programme on channel 4 at 8PM about Bigfoot !!

Wow, these look different. Not sure how I feel about them, they remind me of those old Rover's. Good effort though man, I think I like them .

So far every 370Z I've seen on the road the driver has been 50+ I'd say.

Panda Pops man. Panda Pops ,

Cool man. Nice to see you restored the OEM bits as opposed to fitting anything aftermarket .

Twins ??

Unsprung weight FTW.

Go on the Villa !!!

No Camembert unfortunately and the B&M looked lame. Sheep burger it was.

Must one hell of an itch . Oooooo, close mate, it's in Barnes .

I'll take that .
