Honda

[JRM]

Given that Volvo and Saab get their own forum, instead of just 'Swede Chat' why can't Honda have its own one? Given all the Type-R cars, the S2000 and, of course, the NSX, surely it's worth setting up a seperate forum. Besides, most of Jap Chat is over-run with modders rather than owners of stock cars?
And I'm not even mentioning the Seat page that has hardly any posts.

Pleeaase....:beg:

Happy to consider it. Anyone else?

Thirded.

I've often wondered that - why we have sections such as 'General Lotus Stuff' then 'Esprit' and 'Exige/Elise/340R' but only one 'Porsche' and one 'Jap Chat'.

Ok I'm only saying this because I want an MX5 forum

Agreed. Serious Honda following in Latino-California. Most stolen car too. Coincidence?

There used to be an housing estate in Dublin known as Civic city in the early 90's. Nearly every (including my Bro's) stolen Civic was found there!

Not at all, uni means I live in East London which seems to be crapjap city

Every battered Jap car in the U.K. (and Japan) eventually seems to migrate here, whereupon on arrival a Type-R badge is slapped on, even previas.

I vote a big fat No.

Jap section is a nice little community (even if I don't post there that much).

I enjoy reading different opinions in one place.

I think if japchat was split up, it would die.

[egomeister]

I'd say no (see thread in JapChat)

In reference to the original post, maybe consolidation of Saab/Volvo forums would be appropriate if a suitablely witty forum name could be found!!

I've been quite happy with French Bred for the little old clio. I use a clio dedicated site for clio related stuff and this for everything else.


Lets put it this way, if every single manufacturer had its own forum, nobody would ever be able to find anything, because there would be soooooo many forums.

If I had a Honda I would be saying the same thing. If you want a Honda forum its then unfair on people with other jap cars.

Toyota, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Mazda, Suzuki, etc etc

Japchat as a forum is fine as it is i reckon....are Hondas too good for the rest of us or something?

yes we are you peasant

J/k, Whilst it would be nice to see I dont think it would work unless all the Jap brands got thier own forum. Maybe similar to the way the TVR section is laid out? Jap chat general with manufacturer specific sub forums?

erm... I've only got a 10p piece, has anyone got 8p change?

[AquilaEagle]

Yes please

[angrys3owner]

Yep I'd think a Honda forum is a good plan as I might be getting an S2000 at some point soon and as good as s2ki is I'm not sure my attitude will be appritiated in the same way!

[havoc]

I think stick with JapChat - it's a small group as is - any smaller it'll disintegrate.

There are a few Honda-only fora around - Honda-R, ITR-DC2, CTR forum, S2ki, for those that need their brand-only fix.

Angry - S2ki is actually a pretty friendly place, it's just a little more straight-laced than PH. Needs more technical people too - still too many threads on washing and polishing, and not enough on driving or spannering.

Completly agree on that comment, after reading a lot of the posts on there I'm starting to think that the suspension issue isn't really an issue if you can use a spanner yourself as both spoon and mugen both seem to sell replacement bushes and it looks a lot easier to get to the wishbones on the S2000 than on my Audi and I managed on on that.

Ps... I signed up as Igby over on there as I am really thinking of getting one in july if everything goes according to plan.

Cool...I'm 'havoc UK' over there, as there must be some septic with my original pseudonym. I'm enjoying mine a lot, but coming from fwd it does take a little bit of learning, and I must remember to take it easy for the first few miles until the rears warm up! If you can afford an '04, I'd go for one of them - residuals and resale, better interior colours/options, and RE050's...although you can't get Monte Carlo blue, which is clearly the best colour!
