Hi Kllam,

Actually in what aspect that you judge not as hardcore as EK9 ?

EK9 is on B16B DOHC VTEC with 185hp max.
FD2 is on K20A DOHC i-VTEC with 225hp max.

Had driven ITR DC5 ,that shares K20A DOHC i-VTEC 220hp. What I feel is,
in this i-VTEC, you will not feel the sudden "surge" compared with
previous DOHC VTEC, when the high profile VTEC=ON. Somehow, I think with
the advent of continuos VTC in i-VTEC, Honda manage to improve up a
little more on lower end torque,so that the entire torque curve is a
smoother transition.

bro,

i mean in terms of suspension la...... Ek9 more hardcore.... my back hurts
after a few hours driving it..... FD2 much better.... my back still ok

just change open pod filter on the K20A and remoce the cat/change jap
aftermarket exhaust, the FD will feel as hardcore as the B-series...
