Honda F1 2008
Posted on January 29, 2008, by Darren, under Cars, Honda, Technology.
Honda F1 have just announced their 2008 car (right). The team are punting this as a vast improvement on last years car, which lets be honest, isn’t a difficult thing to pull off.
With Ross Brawn (ex Ferrari) now in charge as team principle things could be on the up this season, although they’ve got quite a challenge to pull themselves back to where they were in 2006 so best not to hope for too much straight out of the box in Melbourne in a few months time.

Type R Diesel?
Posted on October 31, 2007, by Darren, under Cars, Honda, Technology.
Looks like the Honda Civic Type R could be in line for the Japanese manufacturers’ 2.2-liter diesel engine within the next few years, according to Autocar.
With the oil burner churning out 320 lb/ft of torque in comparison to 142 in the current 2.0-liter petrol spec car, the diesel could (read: should) be significantly faster both top-end and through the power bands.
Powerful, stupidly fast and economical?

New badge
Posted on October 1, 2005, by Darren, under Cars, Honda, Personal.
Well, I finally got round to putting my new (£13!) Honda ‘H’ badge on the bonnet of my car, after some utter moron ripped the original off.
Why bother nicking it? They can’t really sell it on as new because the only way to take it off is to break the locating pins that hold it onto the bonnet.
All Honda badges attach in this way. If you ever see a silver ‘H’ badge for sale somewhere without the pins on the back – it’s probably stolen.
The only people that have benefited from this ****** stealing my stuff is my local Honda dealer.
