I just read an article in MT about the new FP cars from Honda and Acura and it had a new Civic EX Coupe FP and they boasted about it's great hadling and 160HP. I thouth it was just the same old D17 1.7L SOHC VTEC. Is this a typo or doe sthe FP get a boost in power? Because I know all the other FP cars just have modded suspension and wheels.

 

I've also read that the Civic FB has 160 hp....it was in one of those magazines (mt, r&T, etc).

 

what is an fb or fp??

 

fp in this case = factory performance

 

it's a typo. probably confused the hp rating with the 03 civic si.

 

What a typo. I saw one of the EX's with the 16's bodykit, lowered, etc. and I must say it looked dope. 160HP to start would definately interest me as a daily driver. Though i also saw a new LX coupe with type R badges and an a new accord with Type-R badges and I was like WTF? well I went with my cousin to test drive a new EVO and all the new civic coupes and accord coupes (it's a honda mitsu dealer) had type-R stickers on them. I had a good mind to go in and ask about it but i was too love struck by the EVO. My cousin was about $4,000.00 short of getting it. Since his RSX is blown they will only give him like 8k for it. he's trying to sell it private party now.
