Lol think I can make out the first bit. Would be cool to get out on track with a few other ludes mine and Petes attempt didn't go to well.

Welcome.

Don't recognise that 4th gen. Looks standard?

Who'd have thought it eh? A 4th gen being faster than a 5th?!

...hahaha, um, everyone - seeing as they're smaller and lighter.. and cooler and better looking and rarer

Welcome in

There's a fair few different brake mods been done on here. Change to ATR discs/calipers not that unusual but I'm told a swap to braided hoses and better pads (and maybe fluid) can make a big difference. Someone who knows more will be along in a minute I suspect... or I recommend a specific query thread if there isn't one already.

PS. We all know why 4ths are rarer

. We all know why they're all much lighter (by now, after all that rain)

And the coolness/better looking is clearly subjective, but obviously Honda felt the need to keep trying until they got it right

Thanks for the welcome. Will have a search around for some brake advice.

As for the 4th vs 5th gen, i think the 5th has stood the test of time a little better than the 4th, but that's just my opinion. The 5th isn't particularly flamboyantly styled, so it seems to fair better 10-15 years down the line. Cars that are highly styled always date worse than those which are more plain.

That said, the 4th does have a much cooler dash!

(Whisper it, but you'll find that many of us actually like both. And the earlier ones. With you on the dash too)

Eh?

You may find that I'm one of a few forumites whose trousers do not instantly drop at the appearance of a female, mate!

Besides which, I thought Nina had a 5th?
