Tywais Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 The first video is with an ECU reflash so not stock on that 0-100. //edit - the 2nd video comparing the 1.5 to the FD 2.0 was good to see. Looks impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavisH Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 (edited) The first video is with an ECU reflash so not stock on that 0-100. //edit - the 2nd video comparing the 1.5 to the FD 2.0 was good to see. Looks impressive. It was hard to tell if the FD was 'racing' the FC, but the FC was definitely much faster than the 1.5. But those videos are from the same site so I wonder in the FC was the modified car from the first video. Either way, I don't think you would be disappointed in the 1.5 turbo. I've just seen a dyno on my facebook for the racechip put on the 1.5 : HP 173 --> 195, TQ 216 --> 259. Edited May 6, 2016 by DavisH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top speed is locked at 207km/h in stock form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guzzi850m2 Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 (edited) That RS turbo will be a big hit with Thai youth, fat tires, spoilers and all that crap they like to bolt on. I like it very much too, but will keep my tractor Ranger for now. I will need new wheels in about 2-3 years time and I will check the 1.5 out for sure, don't think I want another tractor.

DavisH Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 BP auto section today has an article about the 1.8 vs 1.5 civic. Worth a loot. 0-100 for the 1.5 is 8.6 seconds (10.4 for the 1.8 which is still not too shabby). Perhaps the previous article had a misprint.

inventorinthailand Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 (edited) Went to a Honda dealer yesterday to order a white RS. I could have it on Saturday they said. Okay fine. But they refused include insurance and registration costs in the price so I went to another Honda dealer. Same there but 1 month delivery time and nothing included except windows tint. What extras did you guys manage to get? Edited May 20, 2016 by inventorinthailand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What extras did you guys manage to get? We got Anti Rust, Window Covers, Tint, Metal door sills and a complete wax. Manual in English. Insurance cost was 22,000 Baht.. 2000 Baht will be refunded on return of red plates. Had it a week now and we love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inventorinthailand Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 26200 for the RS at my dealer. So it is not likely to get the first years insurance for free then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiggy Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 (edited) I'm going into Honda Ekamai tomorrow with the intent of putting down a deposit on an RS. Will ask for tint, stainless exhaust ends, scuff plates, mats and insurance. I'll let you know how I get on. Ekamai quote insurance at 28,724.

pontious Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Out of curiosity I just phoned my insurance broker - quote please for my new car? Breakdown, Dealer repairs, any driver. Answers How much did it cost? - 1.2 million Baht Insurance will be for 1 Million Baht and cost Baht 21,000 !!!! But I have not told you the engine size yet and it has a turbo attached It is only based on amount - the cost will be Baht 21,000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace of Pop Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 You can get all sorts of prices from a Broker for the same class. Honda don't have its own company ,it's individual dealers that lead one to think its Honda. I'm with BKK Ins ,now and it's still about 20 but I claim a lot,Dogs in Rad n new windscreens.Then again I'm well over average Klics P.A. So still happy with Honda guidance.

inventorinthailand Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 (edited) Okay, I will also ask for tint, exhaust ends, scuff plates and mats. Is it worth paying extra for M3 tint?

Wiggy Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 I've just returned from Honda Sukhumvit (Ekamai) in a state of shock. I went in to put a deposit on a Civic RS Turbo and to ask for free insurance, stainless exhaust ends, mats and stainless scuff plates. I got the exhaust ends, mats (included as standard), scuff plates and 3M film. The only think I didn't get was the insurance, but she offered me 30% off (from 27,000 to 19,000 with Viriyah) and she added the following freebies without me even asking: Boot tray Window shades (the plastic visors at the top of the window) 500 baht worth of fuel Free registration (worth 4,000 baht) Wax 20 times over 5 years Number plate frame Anti-rust No hesitation in putting down a deposit, obviously. Pick it up in early August as I'm taking a trip home soon, but could have had it next month. The staff were friendly, professional and knowledgeable. I'm delighted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inventorinthailand Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 (edited) So asking for less = faster delivery :-) You did well though Wiggy even though you have to wait for a while though. Edited May 21, 2016 by inventorinthailand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I'm off to the UK for my annual pilgrimage in early July, so I couldn't see the point in taking delivery just before leaving. Plus, it gives me something to look forward to on the way back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
