enforcer533 SG

Hi ppl just wondering would u all prefer to get a 2006 Civic 2.0M or a Accord Euro R CL7 coz in the second hand market both are about the same price. And i am looking for either 1. I heard alot of ppl saying that the CL7 is under powered coz of its body weight . Is it true ? Can i have some opinion from u ppl which is better ? Thanks ^^

Euro R for 2 simple reason
1) Unique not common like a normal civic.

2)Thumbs up for style factors.

. The Euro R has an output of 220bhp, compared to the Civic 2.0's 155bhp. I don't think the Euro R is that much heavier than the Civic for all the extra horsepower to be negated by it's weight.

Not to mention that the Civic is 5 speed while the Euro R is 6 speed, the CL7R will surely be faster than the FD2.

A lot of cars the speedo also only until 180. But does not mean that the car can only reach 180. Similarly, a lot of cars speedo until 220, 240, but no power to reach that kind of speed also.

Aftermarket speedo got so many, digital ones got Apexi VSD, etc.

Hi, I do think Euro R is a better choice too, looks good, has adequate power and most importantly, zheng-er-ble. But regarding the speedo, 180 is more than enough in Sillypore eh? ;) Whats the chances that you can hit those speed without reaching the next traffic light or speed cam? But thats if you frequent Boleh Land alot than of course its cool to have a speedo with more than 180 but with the amount of speed, you gotta be careful with the handling issues! Euro R is also heavier making it more stable with high speed and if you're comparing power-to-weight ratio I do think that accord has the upperhand;

PS, Ratio is PS/Ton

Euro R: 158.27

Civic 2.0: 120.9

But 1 thing for sure, check the car out thoroughly for abuse! Drivers with type-R cars tend to whack the car alot! Cheers!

you seriously are not going to base ur choice on something as cosmetic as the reading off the speedo arent u???

then again... from ur replies.. it is clear u dun have a focus on what u want....

not meaining to be harsh or anything..

but why an FD2 with a CL7R.. what is ur basis for comparison apart from the price..... u do know that the cars utilizes veh different engines.. althought the FD2 uses the FD2R chassis....

i suggest u list an entire list of pros and cons here... and perhaps we can discuss about it more???

But I have to say first that i haven driven or sat in either the FD2 and CL7R...

And btw to the TS, even if you fit your own aftermarket speedo, you'll still only see 180km/h max (that's if you have the guts to go to such speeds). Jap cars are all limited to 180kmh. By Jap cars, I mean JDM.

Only thing you can do? Remove the limiter. Then you go ZOOM ZOOM ZOOM!!! (Pun not intended).

Hello, no Zoom Zoom here ok, it's the Power of Dreams!

Yes JDM limited to 180, but for most performance JDM drivers, first to go is the speed limiter, followed by rev limiter.. lol

I bet he uprated the internals. Stronger, forged conrods and etc. Otherwise stock engine rev to 9,200rpm, can tahan meh?

The only stock engines that I can think of that can reach that high is probably rotary and VTEC..

WTF, we're back to Zoom Zoom and Power of Dreams!

Wao 9.2k RPM for a wrx is nt bad lolx i believe honda engine can rev harder. Speaking of Wrx. Just wondering how is the boxer engine compare with the honda vtec ? COz i went rounding with my friend last week his Impreza TS cant even win a fiat Punto 1.4 in the straight. then i started to hav doubt in the Boxer engine lolx.. ^^

alleggerita SG

The Boxer engine is one of the smoother layouts. And it sounds nicely offbeat and deep.

It depends on the state of tune. For the stock 1.6 Impreza, the state of tune is so low. Of course it couldn't win a Fiat Punto 1.4.

Boxer engine is different from Boxer + Turbo.. The Turbo makes a big difference..

Flat 4 is more inherently stable than Inline 4, plus the placement boxer engine contributes to a lower CG. True, the 1.6 impreza Turbo Stolen won't be winning many traffic light grand prixes, but the wrx and the sti is in a different league..

I still prefer the sound of a inline 5 though. And that unique vibration pattern on idle plus the famous comfy seats from Volvo, it's like a massage chair. God i miss my uncle's S40.
