The Upcoming Rare Monster Arrive Here!



As I mention previously, Alex is bringing in a new rare monster which is the Honda Civic Type-RR. I remember I had brief about this car before. Anyway, I'll go through a more detail specification of this red chili. Hopefully this topic can be like a poison bug which can poison everyone of you fall in love to this car.

After Honda produced the Civic Type-R, Mugen decided to bought over 300 units of Type-R and re-tuned it and named as Type-RR. Comparing a standard Type-R with Mugen Type-RR, the engine, weight reduction, aero dynamic, handling and interior has been greatly improved. This make the car became more powerful and stable, and of course the price will be greatly increase due to this reason.

 I love those car with this kind of limited identification display.


Let talk about the engine. The engine model used is K20A, it has the originality of 2.0L VTEC 4-cylinder engine. This engine is has been upgraded through Mugen parts such as camshafts and ECU and mate up with 6 speed manual gearbox, it can rotate up to 8000 rpm with a little suction time 0.005 second. On the other hand, Mugen has improved the exhaust system, such as the layout, length and diameter of the pipe in order to reduce the exhaust restriction and make the exhaust to be more efficiency. Put together by the exhaust system with this engine, RR success to squeeze out maximum horsepower of 240hp and maximum torque 22.2 kg/m.







As we all know, weight is the one of the major factor of speed. Therefore, Mugen change some part's material. Light weight material such as CFRP has applied to bodywork to reduce the weight. Aluminum is used for the bonnet, this material can provide better cooling effect and of course reduce the weight(3kg) compared to steel bonnet. Others parts like light weight Mugen wheel has also being used on this car.





A high speed car equal to nothing if its without a proper aero-dynamics fitting. Have to know, when a car is getting higher speed, it need some force to make the car stable. When the air flow rate at top section of a substance is higher than bottom section, the substance is tend to lift. Therefore, aero-dynamic play an important role in this field, it can produce some downforce to prevent the car being "lift". At here, Type-RR had replaced a new bodykit, front & rear diffuser and spoiler which provide a better "grip" during the car is speeding. By the way, Mugen sport suspension and brembo brake is used in this car for better handling.









About the interior. The interior of the Honda Type-RR has a real sports look. The car consist of oil temperature, water temperature and pressure gauges at the front dashboard. The most attractive is Type-RR is fitted with racing seats which is the Recaro SP-X seats!! (same as S204)

What A Shame Guy Is

This is what I read from Zerotohundred, by a nick called Cybernation, he posted an incident of a particular driver simply park his car at handicap parking slot. Due to this happening, he is become very famous in Zerotohundred, anyway I just copy what the Cybernation post at Zerotohundred, I don't know whether this is real or not. Anyway, please refer to here for the original post.

As Quoted:

"While in McDonald Shah Alam, this young scrawny punk drove his red sports car and parked in the middle of the two handicapped parking bays. So not only did he park in a space allocated for the Physically Challenged, he also took up two spaces for his precious car. I managed to snap a picture of him as he walked by:



Me: Please don't park in the handicapped bay
Doofus: Huh?
Me: Are you physically challenged?
Doofus: No?
Me: Then why did you park there?
Doofus: Cannot ah?
Me: No!
Doofus: Who are you?
Me: Just a concerned citizen.
Doofus: So? ... Do what you have to do lah

Fine! So I took this picture:


If this is real, I'll wonder how he pass his driving license. What is the purpose of handicap parking slot? Is for those physical challenged person but NOT a Doofus like this guy unless he admit he is the one!
