I drive a stick in the U.S.

A manual transmission on a RIGHT side driver? It hurts my brain just trying to imagine it.

You would think so, but the pattern is the same. It only takes one or two drives and you forget about it

rapbastardz.bsky.social•206 days ago

Crazy. I do like the fact that the pedals have the same lineup at least. It would be even worse of those were flipped around!

I love driving my six speed. I wonder how long until they are all extinct?

I have both dct (m cars) and manual (fd's) track cars. Theres a lot to be said for fast shifting trans and manuals but modern performance engines are all fast up and down the rpm range. 5/6spd is a blast, but it's slow

A reminder that the RR is so bespoke you need a written proof of ownership for Mugen to even consider repairing any damaged parts...

There have been a few imported here. Spoke to an owner and they really seemed to enjoy it.

FD2s just have such clean and crisp lines

petrospect.bsky.social•207 days ago

These were REALLY fast in some Hot Version clips I’ve seen, best looking variant of that Civic.
FD2s are sub zero

what's the going rate these days? I adored my FA5 and have no doubt that these are a blast and that my minor quibbles with it (primarily lack of front camber for autox) could have easily been addressed.

fearme.fish•207 days ago

but people are no doubt paying too much lol. I couldn't believe all the people in Honda forums paying thousands and thousands of dollars to swap the JDM/CDM front/rear ends.

I’m dying to see one of these irl
