Spotted a newer shape white JDM Civic (the japs equivalent to our FN) in asda, never seen one in the flesh, proberly one of the best looking Hondas I've seen

I didn't take a pic as the guy was sitting in it

but was exactly the same as the one in this pic:

Think you'll find it's an FD2.

I understand the suspension is far too hard for our crap roads and it lacks the sophistication of a 'Lude.

I think AST (?) do a kit which makes it useable.

That is really nice.

It is strange the differences in one make across the world.

I have been in Florida for the past 3 weeks and I saw a Civic Coupe and an Accord (Coupe? looked like it!) That looked really really nice. They looked like they may have been tweaked a bit from factory but still really nice looking cars and nothing at all like we have here.

Also saw a couple of REALLY tidy Acura NSX's that spent most evenings cruising up and down Ft Myers beach. Nice job if you can get it

I saw one really nice silver 5th gen prelude in orlando and a real dog of a 5th gen in Tampa. I also saw about a thousand badly chaved up civics, a real florida speciality it seems!

I have never been a huge fan of US cars but I saw a few new Dodge Charger SRT8's and I REALLY like the look of them. They sound amazing

When they are idling they sound like an R8 with a bass injection!

470hp and 470lbft 6.4 engine but it does have "Fuel saver technology" so does 14mpg

There has always been a USDM Civic & Accord coupe. The current Accord sedan has a sort of BMW E60-vibe to it.

'Our' Accord is sold as the Acura TSX over there - except with a grille like this:

Actually, if you want to PYSL, google "Acura ZDX"

I was on track with one of these and it was only just faster than my 5G Lude but its brakes were amazing.

Marc flew past a dark blue, fully decalled one with a massive spoiler on track at Japfest. Though I guess Marc's lude is no ordinary lude and you never know who was driving the Civic

EDIT: Chasing from 9 minutes. Passing at 9 minutes 50 secs.
