    What’s it like being one of those people who Honda deems cool enough to want to hear from? This was awesome. Matt, in a lot of ways you’re like a Honda. Undersized, underpowered, kind of funny looking, but you’re dependable, and you get better with each release. So that’s pretty neat.

    The early Honda Civic all had an almost Tardis-like ability to seem much larger on the inside, than they appeared on the outside. They also all handled far better than one would expect. I remember racing a Porsche 924 through traffic on the Mass Pike with my 1975 Honda CVCC, and frustrating the snot out of the "Porsche" driver. I know the NA 924 was a fairly slow car, but it handled well and had more than double the hp of the Civic.

    From my experience with a 10th gen SI:
    That TPMS issue you mentioned was present on my car. No matter what, if I drove more than a few hundred miles at once, it would throw the pressure warning light.
    It would also just randomly throw the light. I took it to the dealership a few times and they couldn't fix it. It's just a bug with Honda's system that I think isn't fixable...
    So if you do end up getting a honda civic, just keep a tire pressure gauge on hand in the car, and familiarize yourself with the tire inflator kit thingy they give you. If your tire is just a bit low, then there's no need to fill it up with the goo, just use the inflator as an air pump.
    One plus was that the car is communicative enough that I could tell when my tires were low, just by how the car felt when going over bumps...

    the problem with that kind of tyre pressure monitiors is it only detects sudden punctures of one wheel.
    i knew a lady in work who had a bmw E90 with the same type of system. i told her all her tyres were very soft, she didn't believe me as the tyre pressure system never triggered, i asked have you ever checked them, nope because she believed the system would tell her if they'd gone down.
    as they all went down gradually the system never picked it up. got my tyre inflator out and they were all 8-10psi.

    • @brianb-p6586
      @brianb-p6586 Год назад

      It doesn't just respond to sudden punctures, but it can only respond to differences in tire diameter (due to inflation pressure differences). If all the tire are low, it can't tell.

    This is a question from your brake lines video. You mentioned using pink Teflon tape on the threads for the flare nuts. I mentioned this on a forum and got blasted. Apparently many builders disagree and say absolutely no tape should be used or needed. Could you provide some advice? I'm about to run lines on my kit car and don't know if I should or shouldn't use tape. Thanks man, love your vids and your chill attitude. You're not one of those guys who fakes being overly enthusiastic or excited to boost viewership. You know...the "WHAT IS UP RUclips?!?!" intro kinda channels. Keep it up 👍

    • @SuperfastMatt
      @SuperfastMatt  Год назад +5

      The pink teflon is just there to seal the threads of the bleeder while you vacuum or pressure bleed. It doesn't seal anything under normal operation. The reason to use pink is that it is made for hydraulic fluids so it won't deteriorate. They're probably blasting you because they think you're using it as a seal, but it's just a seal while you're bleeding. Once you tighten it down, the flare makes the seal and the teflon is just along for the ride. You don't need it on the flare nuts, only the bleeder.

    I enjoyed your review, a lot. As someone who to my knowledge has mostly stuck to mechanical, build focused videos so far you did very well at the whole new car reviewing thing. better than many other build channels that've tried the same, so props for that. As someone who almost exclusively watches mechanical build focused videos and channels, you achieved something difficult and held the attention of my adhd-infested brain for a whole 13 minutes and 13 seconds. that's no small feat. Is the road and track gig new? make sure to get some business cards made up, cuz I wanna see where they'll take you haha

    Hearing the Ferrari of chauffeurs makes me ask... Did it break down 90% of the time, and when it was running the ride will make your back hurt. Also you cannot ride with that chauffeur until you took a few "used" rides?

    Nice review. Funny and engaging. As a track driver of the FK8, I'm not sure I agree with you regarding the TPMS sensors, but that's pretty minimal. There are also a couple of levels of disabling the VSA, short and long presses on the button (plus maintenance mode for dyno only) . But you are right that VSA behaves pretty well regardless of the mode you select.

    6:45 is a perfect reference point for leg room as all three are included in the filming.
    Purpose, price and function are fundamental variables in the method a perspective buyer might calculate value for themselves.
    11:58 the simpler calm horizontal lines are a big styling improvement.

    I’ve absolutely had my TPMS light come on when exiting a freeway in a “spirited” fashion in my base 18 lol. On the plus side you don’t have to worry about sensors when you swap wheels.

  • @StrangelyIronic

    I had the previous R for about as long as it took me to replace the front fender, bumper, and hood, driving a week, then flipping for a fair profit. I liked the car a lot, but I liked the money I made a lot more.
    Over time I’ve gone from hating fwd with the crowd, to awd for days, to now for something, that’s 98% a touring/road car if we’re being honest, I don’t really care. My lock down projects were a turbo Probe GT and a 4th gen Eclipse GT to mess with the v6/auto combo. Turns out I didn’t mind fwd at all, but I also don’t use them to race a track. The Celica winter project may be different, first one I haven’t RWD swapped, but also first seventh gen instead of my favorite 6th gen ST204s.

    i am far more confident in your ability to resist bias by describing in detail how much they attempted to wine and dine you. i have absolutely no clue which reviewers get this extravagant or even more extravagant treatment and which are riding in on a 30 year old rusted bicycle, running on 3 pieces of bread and 3 hours of sleep, and if i did, i might have a better level of confidence. basically, every review should find some fun way to tell us about what the companies have done to get their review.

    Since you were “forced” to do a car review by the non-influencing catering, you did OK. But I still much prefer your garage content, and non-voluntary off roading through Death Valley. As always, looking forward to your next video.
