Honda Civic Type R FD2R. 2017 - Current.
Honda Civic Type R FD2R. 2017 - Current.
The JDM Civic Type R (FD2R) uses the Japanese market four-door sedan as a base model and debuted in 2007. The wheelbase has grown to 2700 mm, giving the FD2R a more stable stance in high speed cornering. The engine output is 225 hp being developed at 8000 RPM and 215 Nm of torque peaking at 6100 RPM. The base engine itself is borrowed from the Accord Euro R CL7 with its longer intake manifold. Changes have been made to the block in terms of mounting points for ancillary parts making it different from previous K20A. New tech such as drive-by-wire throttle and porting of the intake valve ports using techniques from the NSX are implemented. Drive is fed through a close-ratio six-speed gearbox, and a helical limited slip differential is fitted as standard. The front brake discs increased to 320 mm with four pot Brembo callipers. Tire size is now 225/40 R18. The chassis is 50% more rigid than the previous JDM DC5 Integra Type R. To save weight, aluminium is used extensively and bonded with adhesive instead of welded. Though the chassis is larger and more rigid than the DC5R, it is only 1.8 kg heavier at 1260 kg. Exterior wise, the front bumper is wider and different from the standard Civic designed aerodynamically. The rear bumper features a diffuser built into the bumper and completing the aero package with a huge rear wing. In back to back tests the Civic Type R was on average 1 second quicker than the Integra Type R at the Tsukuba Circuit and four seconds faster at the longer Suzuka Circuit. Also on the UK TV program Fifth Gear, the FD2R was three seconds quicker than the equivalent FN2R UK version around Castle Combe Circuit in the wet. Only about 13,000 units of FD2 Civic Type R were produced until it ceased production in 2010 due to stringent emission requirements.
Volkswagen Golf GT Sports MK5. 2008 - 2017.
The Golf Mk5 GT Sports features a 1.4 L twincharger (TSI) configuration engine. The new TSI engine, which is based on the Fuel Stratified Injection (FSI), but with a pair of chargers forcing the induction of the air. The chargers are a single supercharger that disengages after a specified rev-range, at which point charging of the air is handled by a single turbocharger. This system benefits from both of the efficiency of the supercharger in the lower rev ranges, with the longevity of the turbocharger higher in the rev range. This results in little turbo lag, constant power delivery along the rev range, and better fuel efficiency. The GT sport badge was marketed as offering both high power and low emissions, The stock engine pushes out 170 bhp with 240 N.M of torque. Together with the 6 speed dual clutch Direct-Shift Gearbox (DSG), performance figures are 0-100 km/h in 7.7 secs and reaching top speed of 220 km/h. The Golf GT features the same brakes as the Golf GTI, with 312 mm ventilated front discs, and 286 mm solid rears. It has also 15 mm lowered suspension, which lowers its centre of gravity, it borrows the GTI's suspension/damper settings, uses 17 inches alloy wheels fitted with wide 225/45 R17 tyres, and has twin exhaust outlets.
Subaru Impreza WRX Ver. 7. 2002 - 2007.
In Dec 2000, Subaru updated the WRX to the second generation chasis (Ver. 7 of the WRX). The GDA WRX model also retained the 5-speed manual transmission gearbox design from the GC8. The GD chassis along with the WRX and STI underwent two styling changes in its life cycle. The engine was retained from the Version 6 and still retains the EJ207, however the engines did improve further low end torque. The interior was also updated. The WRX still carried the previous 4 piston front and 2 piston rear brakes. Engine output is to 220 bhp with 294 N.M of torque. Performance figures are 0-100km/h in 5.9 secs and a top speed of 238 km/h.
Suzuki Swift GTi MK2. 1990s - 2001.
The MK2 Swift GTi over the MK1 features a new curvier body style, four wheel independent strut suspension, all wheel disc brakes and numerous other improvements. The Swift GTi also had an improved G13B 1.3L inline 4 engine which featured hollow camshafts, stronger web casting on the engine block, a better flowing intake manifold (the prior generation intake manifold had its shape compromised to to fit into the engine bay), and its ECU now had electronic control over ignition timing. It now put out 100bhp and redlines at 8000rpm, resulting a top speed of 182km/h and a 0-100km/h time of 8.7secs.
great treat, this
