Epic! They respond very well to dropping some weight reduction. 25kg in the rear seats, 10 kg in the boot carpets/plastics, 15kg passenger seat etc. Makes a big difference in all areas.
@@KiwiCarLife Firestone Firehawks what? Just like Ponteza, there are multiple models of Firestone's Firehawk range. I'm guessing it's the Indy 500's which are the same as the Pontenza RE003'S or maybe the Sport 01?
@@KiwiCarLife Nice, they seem like a good street tyres that work well on track days. How do you find them compared to the RE003'S and the PS4's you recently tested? Also not sure if you already knew but Firestone also sell a tyre that is a rebranded Potenza RE003 called the Firehawk Indy 500.
I actually had the chance to drive my cousin's Acura TSX, the American version of this Honda Accord. I liked the handling and it felt stable in the turns. But the biggest issue I had was the gas pedal. It's a different style than the Toyota and Nissan ones that I'm used to. But otherwise, it was great
Looks like aftermarket wings, stickers and other pro mods don't add advertised 5hp per item like internet is saying. Even low gear out of corned didn't do much for him.
_”c’mon reprocessed Euro R”🤣_ … _love those photo prompts too bro_ 👌🏼
Lol
Fantastic video, love the Gran Turismo music and the skid you do at the end of every track video :D
Hahah thanks man
That was a fun vid, the car is going like a champ!
You can steer a bit mate!, here's hoping you can do some more track stuff!
Thanks man!

Hahahh the wagon is mighty
Lovely content as always, loved every bit!
Thanks man
Great video mate keep it up

Yeah true
I'm surprised how well the R went around the track, great fun to watch!
Yeah not bad aye
Where did you get the Accord Euro R decals on the bottom of the rear passenger doors bro!?!?!?
They came on the car
Bloody brilliant driving mate! Was grinning throughout the whole clip!
Thanks man
Dude you're an insane driver. You were absolutely full send on those corners. Good job. What tyres were you using on track?
Haha dunno about insane, really just demonstrates how well set up the car is out of the box. Just Firestone Firehawks. Nothing special
are you planning on getting the Lexus up here before it closes? (great driving btw)
Unfortunately not, all the track days are booked
Not being a know it all (as I’m not) but I think the F1 was in Adelaide and Melbourne. Love your vids! 👍🏻
Oh yes
Was the suspension stock when you had this? And how did it handle?
Nah it was on lowering springs and it drove awesome
@@KiwiCarLife Awesome, thanks man.
Glad that you're not going to sell this car :) great video, great car!
Thanks man
Repossessed? More like possessed!
Lol

Hey have you done any videos with the 8 gen civic SI? Would be curious how it compares
Would love to but we don't get them in NZ
That car was built to be tracked..awesome vid, mate!
For sure
First, let me say, what an Awesome video!
Is there any build info on the CM2 Tourer?
Thanks and here's the review I did of it:
th-cam.com/video/OpBT2H5aja8/w-d-xo.html
Loving the content recently mate. Highly entertaining whilst also being time conscious. The euro r is a natural around the track!
Cheers mate
Man you really sending it out there, also how would you compare the euro r towards Erl in terms of track performance
Pretty similar although the LSD is definitely good
Repo R you beauty!
Ooh yeah
Did you get any lap times? I drove there a few weeks ago and used the TrackAddict app. Highly recommended of you don’t have a lap timer already.
Yeah 1:25 was my fastest
Are you selling the EURO R? I saw a ad for a EURO R on trademe exact colour in Wellington with honda wellington work done to it recently.
Yeah I've seen that car. Not mine though
What tyres you running for the track day?
Firestone Firehawks
@@KiwiCarLife
Firestone Firehawks what?
Just like Ponteza, there are multiple models of Firestone's Firehawk range.
I'm guessing it's the Indy 500's which are the same as the Pontenza RE003'S
or maybe the Sport 01?
@@KiwiCarLife
Watched your road trip video and noticed on the preparation section they are the Firehawk Spot 01.
@@druscanam yeah definitely not re003s
@@KiwiCarLife
Nice, they seem like a good street tyres that work well on track days.
How do you find them compared to the RE003'S and the PS4's you recently tested?
Also not sure if you already knew but Firestone also sell a tyre that is a rebranded Potenza RE003 called the Firehawk Indy 500.
Nice! But no Evos or Subarus on the track that day?
There was a few but maybe not in my group
that was a cracking performance for your euroR, what mods done to the other blue euro R with the mugen rear wing?
Headers exhaust intake tune coilovers Wheels cosmetics heaps
I still come back to this video :) petrol head material
Mmm yes quality content
What engine does it has the wagon accord? k24a3?
K24A2 have done a video with it
track days are the best, told you! I'm getting my Leg GT Wagon soon for it's 2nd
Nice man!
Man, that euro R with the Mugen wing looks brilliant.
Absolutely
@@KiwiCarLife You should get one!
What a monster!

I guess so
australia new zealand and the uk has the steering wheel on the right side very similar to each other haha
Yes
It's fast through corners.... And straights too...
Yeah she goes well
Shame to see another race track disappear for good.
Yeahhh
French old chassis still have some gut...
Yes although he did have slick tyres
That LSD does a great work!
Yes it does!
@@KiwiCarLife there is much difference in handling between euro r and cl9?
@@Esdru221 Not really, but LSD definitely makes a big difference
that thing is a beast!
Indeed!
I swear i saw your euro r at st heliers?
Yeah you probably did haha
@@KiwiCarLife i had a feeling it was your car, so clean in person. went past it quite a few times delivering pizzas lol
Impressive
Cheers
