FK8 General FK8 (10th Gen) CTR Release chat

Ooo, that's funky.

Re: 4wd, this picture shows the rear wheel on profile. There's no centre cap on the hub on the rear unlike the front, so highly unlikely that there is a driveshaft hiding away back there.

4wd will not happen on this generation of CTR, it will add a lot of weight and cost, currently best in class so why bother, I think some sort of hybrid is more likely and almost certainly for the next generation.
 
Its probably me, but those front rotors look like they are on a 'floating hub' like the Audi RS, Porshe (and er...VXR Asra) etc as with little screws holding them to help with heat dissipation etc which could indicate beefier brakes for beefier performance? Might have dropped the drilled due to complaints of cracking etc...

the top gear long termer has the squeal - Honda said it was the pad compound, end of. Speaking of Top Gear, this month is a shoot out between the Fk8, the Megane, Hyundai and Cupra R - anyone got it and tell us the result?

Even if it's not going to be on this generation, it means that they are either testing an AWD Civic (not necessarily a Type R), or they want to...

Looks like it to me.
 
If they are/do address the disc cracking issue, that means Honda are listening, which should hopefully mean the gearbox and maybe seat bolster wear will be addressed.

Can you imagine Honda fixing the disc issue but not the no.1 fault, the gearbox. I'd hope not.

If they categorically sort the gearbox i'll be down to Honda talking numbers asap.
