i-vtec ecu can automaticly adjust ron95,97 and so on. If u say ron97 only. Why B18CR on ron95 no prob, K24A on Ron95 no prob. My dads accord 2.4 on 95 no problem.

this is true, in a way. the problem is, how long can that engine take it when using RON95 all the time? 2 years? 3 max before something starts to go wrong? a high revving, high performance engine tuned using RON98 (or higher) isn't meant to use RON95, fact. u will literally feel the engine become sluggish after pumping RON95 (when it's using RON97 all the while). and after continues usage of that low grade fuel, u will HEAR it grinding itself to pieces. I have 2 high performance engines at home, a toyota blacktop and a 1jz vvti. both also can use RON95 but I don't dare use it 100% because of the side effects. I only use RON95 if I know i'm driving on the highway and not back roads so I don't need to rev it. and I only put 30% of RON95 then mix it with 70% RON97. even that, i can literally know which type of fuel i'm using on the fly, these engines are THAT sensitive, especially the 1jz, once boost and the pump is drinking RON95, immediate misfiring. once it's drinking back RON97, rev until red line smooth as silk.

and fyi, K24A is NOT a high revving, high performance engine. B18CR WILL blow after 1-2 years of high revs if it's not tuned to use RON95. if u r lucky, 3 years will be the max. what's the point of having a race horse if you can't feed it good food?

and back on topic. yes u can use the Type R for daily drive, only if your spine can handle the punishment of that rubbish ride. that's the problem with Jap cars. if they build it for performance, they can't build it for comfort, unlike European cars.

Even if u cut the spring or change the spring, it will not hop around like ori CTR. Can confirm this easily. Rebound rate and damping rate all different.  laugh.gif

Yeah i never heard of adjustable. I don't even know how a RM100K aftermarket suspension with additional fancy gadget that is put on dashboard looks like. Even if u have adjustable, u will never manage to replicate the harsh ride of CTR. Not that anyone would wanna do that in the first place. hahaha. Seriously i never see a CTR un-CTR-ed before. Maybe changed rims. Even then i'll be looking out for its hopping nature. Not that i could spot thats true CTR being parked anyway.

any stupid jap branded coilovers will make your car hop like that, no need any expensive ones (they'll just do the opposite, make the car more comfortable but maintaining cornering stability)

Thats the thing. Regular civic not CTR. I hardly ever see any regular civic with hoppy suspensions. Would anyone paint their champion white CTR to another color? Wrap maybe. The jump is not pronounced, but visible. I seen many times on the road that i think i developed a stupid skill that can spot a clone one easily.  laugh.gif

Its kind of boring and interesting at the same time to see how many of these FD on the road.  laugh.gif So i end up making stupid car games when i drive to work and anywhere. My passenger friends thought i am kinda nuts when i say this car has this and that car has that.  laugh.gif I drive too much. Thats the problem.

the result of traffic jams can make up games like these. car guessing game anyone?

Naaahhh.... car guessing game is more like super ah beng modified till dunno what car it is already. Though being in Puchong, those cars seriously mostly belong to Indians.  laugh.gif No thanks to a sport rim brand car club.  laugh.gif

i mean guess the car (on the opposite lane) that is very far ahead and got some car blocking it and see who can guess what car is it. well, traffic jam really too much time on hour hands, we can wait till the car comes nearer and decides who wins.
