Plenty of discussion on the new R, was reading through some of the parts it has and what would you actually change about it?
I'm coming from a purely performance perspective.
I mean the engine already puts 300hp, perhaps a small gain here but your going to run into traction issues soon enough!
The suspension has had a lot of development work and sticking a set of £700 coilovers is likely to make the car worse!
Brakes are already huge 350mm 4 pots, no gain to be had here.
No weight figures that I've seen anywhere? Suggests it's abit lardy. So maybe some lightweight buckets or some carbon to bring abit of weight off.
All in its not really a car that you can better without going full racecar on it?
Perhaps I've looked at this car all wrong by looking at what our Hondas are like and wanting the same recipe?
