I'm sure they'll make one with the 2L SkyActiv engine or something similar. The last thing it needs is less power.

With todays tech a 1.5 non turbo would probably smoke the 2L from the NC

The more efficient something is, the less reliable it's going to be. It'll be interesting to see what they actually put in it.

Really ? Tell Honda that. They may not agree with you.

Installed those RSR springs yet gruvbb? I've got some on mine for legal reasons and they are harder than the coilovers i had haha.

I had some RSR springs on my old MR2 and I found the same......they were very firm.

MrGrey · Post by **MrGrey** » Wed Apr 16, 2014 7:08 pm

when I had them in mine I found them to be pretty much identical to the oem springs that my car came with.

the teins I have in now are a bit softer

Nice bait. I admire Honda somewhat. I'm referring to tiny engines rocking crazy boost. Notable mention: 2.0 turbo motor in the later falcons - How long before they start blowing up?
Maximising volumetric efficiency is good to a point (until things start grenading), which is all I'm going to say on the topic for not wanting to get into an argument on the internet.

Well actually... Honda have now opted for the Type R to have a 2L turbo. Max efficiency and performance.

come on 4A-GE the Falcon 2.0 engines will never blow up! Because no one will ever buy them

We actually plan to run one of the Eco-boost engines in our MK2 Ford escort coupe rally car once they become available in NZ, these engines are great I wouldnt be to quick on saying no one will buy them

Not yet...... They just sitting on the kitchen floor; waiting on a shed.
My landlord has told me to clear my flotilla of boats, motorcycle trailer and bikes off the back lawn so otherwise busy(looking for a new house) .
Will be getting around to it real soon though. Starting a few missions this weekend. Watch this space. Ill post pics up in appropriate slot once done.

That's a serious haul there.

What are the wheels?

4A-GE · Post by **4A-GE** » Thu Apr 17, 2014 10:53 am

Turbo vtec took them a while. Kinda torn over that one... Quite like the sound of their wee motors revving to the moon; the turbo will (ok, should) aid the complete lack of usable torque down the bottom end. Would like to see what sort of compression and boost they're running.

Oh whoops, did I start a ford argument?

Why not a ca18det? I mean - Stronger than an sr20 and you don't see many of them in other things. I would say old sierra cosworth motor but I haven't ever seen one of those out of a car.

Had an awesome night tonight, pootling around like a nana with the roof off in the evening.

Roofless night driving is my favourite thing ever!

Diddled around with some light painting on me new wheels.
