I'm still learning Japanese. But from what I could understand they said "Rev Match" and "Meter". Maybe meter is for the gauge cluster style? They didn't elaborate besides saying that. At they end they basically said: "you can customize this from day one to do what you want".

Edit: never mind you figured it out haha.

thanks and yes I agree "meter" must be the gauge cluster.

“Meter” is the display gauge cluster. You can set it to +R mode so you can always use that display in any of your individual modes. There is a video clip in English out there I watched yesterday. I am combing through my history to find it and will post when I do.

Strange that they didn’t even announce a Nurburgring time, is it possible this gen was slower?

It's possible... Maybe still testing things given we havent been given any details....

if you're gonna sell car for 40k. Just give us the parking sensors and heated seats. What is another grand or two at that point.

Positioning against competition.

R+ for the exhaust. Always.

Hopefully it will remember the exhaust setting when turning on the car for a nice cold start. I l know some cars like mine dont save modes and go to a default mode on startup.

The top 3 recommendations what people said as a general rule was to upgrade the radiator install some type of cooling lines and get a different intercooler.

At least this gen looks to have a decent intercooler vs. the plastic one found on the stock FK8.

It is not ease to beat the FK8 2017 7min 43.8sec lap time. This is an exceptional lap time. Even the Mercedes AMG 45s, Golf R and BMW M2 could not achieve such lap time. Renaut Megane R.S. Trophy-R was limited to 100 units. FK8 sold almost 50k units.

In 2017, they revealed the time about a month after the debut, so who knows?
Or, they could have beat the FK8 but not the Megane.
We're also in the dead of summer, so the ambient heat is probably not helping either.

1) Is it possible to source major parts for these cars that are so new, from places in the world with different regulations (Japan)? Namely being those amber-less headlights -- I want those.

Probably the same idea with the clear/amber sidemarkers for the FK8. I ordered the clear ones from the UK, perhaps it will be possible to do the same for the entire headlight assembly as well. I had good experiences with these 2 sites in the past.

https://www.coxmotorparts.co.uk - they helped me source parts via email even though the accessory/part wasn't listed on their site

they'll give the ring time when the performance numbers drop. Why wouldn't a better chassis car not go faster?

They are not done….Honda is relentless

Driver, road conditions, weather and temps play big roles. They also may not want to make a big deal out of it if they somehow couldn't beat the Megane. We should know in a month or two.
