All New 2016 Civic

Yes, even motorcycle helmets are okay. No other requirements. Touge Battle is the best entry point for anyone with a daily driver who wants track experience.

Your Fiesta would be making a killing in its class with its torque and handling. 😉

Let me check out some helmets, preferably yellow color.

Doon lang ako sa Economy class, pang maliit na makina. Kung mayrun pa class na 1.0L or below, pasok pa rin ako doon. Hehehe

Economy class yung Fiesta - 1.0L x 1.5 (turbo correction factor) = 1.5L so pasok pa economy. 😊

That Civic has "tukso" vibe to drive faster on a clear road (responsibly ofcourse).

Common, flog that baby! Let it rip thru the highway once in a while.

I drive the SLEX daily. When the Bicutan-Sucat or C5-Nichols stretches are open, I let my ride stretch their legs.

Sa mga nakakuha na units nila, how long bago na-issue OR/CR? And nagagamit nyo ba sasakyan while in-process pa ung documents? Thanks.

One month before I got my copy. But when I checked the date, LTO issued it in just two weeks from the time I got my unit. Not sure if casa just did not pick the docs much earlier. So I think it depends sa SA or casa ata. Others mabilis naman e. By the way, my SA is from Honda Makati.

I took the risk of using it while waiting for the OR/CR. Luckily, I was not caught using my car without ORCR.

Tinamad lang LTO coordinator nila kunin Sir
Ako din sa sasakyan ko 2nd week thursday yung nandun sa copy. Pero 3rd week wednesday binigay sakin. Aabot pa siguro 1 month yun kung hindi ko tinatanong tanong kada araw. Binigay ng SA ko yung number ng LTO coordinator eh. Kaya nung 2nd week halos araw araw ako humingi ng update hehe.

Kinulit ko lang kasi I've heard na some other dealership umaabot na halos 3 months bago nakuha OR/CR. Ayoko lang matulad dun kaya nangulit na ako.

The new Type-R Civics are in country na. Excited to see them on the road!

Bro EQ, your dream of a 300hp hot hatch with AT tranny have been answered - Golf GTi with ABT and it is cheaper than the Civic Type R.

That ABT GTi looks great! It's flashier than the standard GTi but still in a relatively subtle manner compared to the all-out bonkers Type R. Hope to run with you soon when you get it!

Maybe I can talk my brother-in-law to try out his Civic RS on a track, para sabay kami. Tapos sabay na rin ako makiki-track testing ng ride nya. Di nya kasi hinahataw masyado ride nya.

Finally Happy weekend guys!

Worth it ba in terms of SQ improvement? Mabigat na kasi ang stock doors (compared to most Jap cars).

[desmosedici]

Doing my research on the difference between E and RS. Is the 300K worth it?

1. Turbo engine / Power output
2. Leather seats
3. 17” mags
4. Auto dim rear view mirror
5. RS spoiler
6. RS grille
7. LED Foglamps
8. 6 Airbags
9. Power seats
10. Ambient lights
11. Red speedometer? (I prefer the blue)

Did I miss anything? I’ll be using this 90% for city driving. Ocassional out of town. Is RS worth it over E CVT? Or E is enough over all the toys of RS?

For me the power/torque difference was the only thing that mattered. I wanted a car that wasn't a lot slower than the FXT I daily drove previously. Thanks to the lower weight, front drive, and well sorted CVT, the RS isn't that far behind my FXT in terms of seat of the pants grunt even with about 50-bhp of power deficit. I had a 1.8 FD (2009) before and I found that lacking in grunt unless you floor it.

Reserved the RS. Hope i get a unit soon. This car is a looker.

If you want to be practical get the 1.8, since you are 90% city driving. You will not get the max benefit of turbo in the city. The turbo on the civic is meant for fuel economy at cruizing speed. The 1.5li turbo is more fuel efficient on long stretch of road than 1.8li, but that reverses on city specially metro manila, 1.8li has better fuel economy on city driving than the turbo engine. Plus the fact that turbo engine strictly requires oil change at 10,000 km (engine cycles not distance travelled). That means you will be force to change your oil evey 3-4 months on city driving with the tubo engine when used everyday. If you are concerned about the 300k difference speard over 3 or 5 years then the 1.8li is perfect. That means you'll have to stay mostly stock for few years otherwise whats the point of saving 300k just to spend them on upgrade to look like RS or type R. ---- hope this helps.

So I've just passed 3000-Km with my RS and its Honda Maintenance Minder is already telling me that service is due soon. Shall I follow that and have the oil changed or wait for 10,000-km, which is supposed to be the next service event?

You follow the indicator. Oil interval for the RS is variable unlike the 1.8's 10k OCI.

When running frequently in traffic, the RS OCI shortens siginificantly.

I just wanted to check with fellow owners if they have minor dimples appearing on their C-pillars just above the rear quarter glass (triangular glass). I was meticulous during the pre-inspection delivery and I definitely did not see any dimples or dents on the aforementioned areas. It appears that two dimples recently developed on my car's passenger side C-pillar one after the other. My car's only a little over two months old and I have clocked around 1,800 kms on the odometer. At first, I thought this was caused by someone leaning on that part of the car when cleaning it or using it as support when entering the rear. But apparently not. This is the thread, complete with clear pictures and a poll, from the CivicX forums:

Dent above passenger doors, accident or body issue? | 216+ Honda Civic Forum (1th Gen) - Type R Forum, Si Forum - CivicX.com

The thread starter's case in the forum link above is a little extreme as most owners and new cars in dealers' lots and showrooms only show very minor dimples (more like undulations). These are very slight and can be easily missed if not viewed from the correct angle with proper lighting. It is of course more obvious with darker-colored vehicles. Members of the CivicX forums, where this issue was discussed at length, think that this has something to do with the welding of two different types of steel in the body structure. Torsional forces when the car is driven hard cause the joint to flex more than normal - resulting in the appearance of wavy undulations (or dimples) on the sheet metal.

It will be interesting to know if any of you have seen these appearing when you have recently driven the car hard (as in a track) or have driven at speed through some deep potholes or bumps.
