its not a case of UK sticking to torsion beam... rather, its a case of downgrading to cut cost... hahathe old type rs like the eg6 and ek9 uses double wishbone all round...

The drift show was very disappointing. Couldn't see nuts at all man. I thought the show at the Kallang Indoor Stadium was more interesting. With all the anti lag exhaust and launchings, way better than the crowd who cheered when the Malaysian drifter crashed into the tyre walls.
for most of the people it was quite bad la, had to stand under the hot sun at ground lvl and the concrete blocks were blocking the view.i had access to the booths which is at 2nd storey high, at least got shade and can see more, not so bad for me.
the action was interesting, but they should have given out schedules to tell pple what's happening at wat time.
now, sunburn!

Okay, wrong word used.
It should be: "UK Civics switched to using torsion beam to cut costs."

Seriouly though, it doesn't matter as long as the handling remains as good as the previous model's. Besides if it's cheaper to replace and repair, it's easier on your pocket.

yeh I saw that but it seems you need to have a URL link rather than just uploading from your hard-drive; so that's all too hard to figure out for a dinosaur like me. Anyway nothing important I just had a few pics from last weeks track day at Sepang. -

He parks cars he doesn't allow (cough* mum cough*) to drive at one of his building.
I posted any pics about E500? We don't have mercs cos my dad doesn't like them, too common, like not exclusive. Jag is more exclusive.
We have an E600 in Indonesia though..
So who's going F1? I hope it'll be good.. Lol..
K.. I found a few.. But not good pics. Cos it'd be awkward to take picture when your family is around, or i'm to lazy.

Nice but that's not a Sport GT. Either a normal version or Executive GT...;) I seem to have seen your car @ Balmoral Plaza before and also got pics of it...Is that your younger bro? I saw a very similar car there and a young boy getting on the QP...Heard its start-up...very nice! -
Heh heh...just got photoshop last Friday...now experimenting ;) I have been using Fireworks before but Photoshop is just pure ownage!!!!

No really. Reviews said its front axle is simply too stiff. If the road is wet, it understeers too easily and too suddenly without warning. Worse than the previous Type-R. I thought usually the front axle will be softer than the rear axle. But in the dry it handles well. But its main attraction is still its drivetrain. That engine that loves being revved and that fabulous gearbox.
But otherwise, you're right. Torsion beam easier to fix should any problems crop up.

Please don't tell me it's the twin-turbo 5.5-litre V12 in the S600 too. Please.

Uhm.. No.. Cos its an old model, and limited production. Just a big engine. Nothing really special. Except its kept in a bubble,
and its mileage is like what 400 plus.. Drive around the house.
