A replica of Daiki Ninomiya’s EK9 Honda Civic Type R. This is an Initial D car, for all you fanboys out there. I don't know the exact specs of Daiki's car, so I just used my imagination and tried to be realistic.

With 221hp, the car still goes nicely, but you don't get wheelspin either. Turn-in is pretty good if you trail brake, because of the slight rear bias.

was wondering why your front spring rate is harder than your rear, is this car supposed to drift or should I say power slide in corners just like the animation?

I've ben tuning my Spoon EK9 for about an hour now and am kinda stressed up so I just came in to look for references =)
Hmm... I wonder how it feels to go sideways...

Nope, this is a 'grip' car. The front spring rate is high for response and feedback. But you were asking about the rear rate...

Have you ever noticed that the rear bounces around a lot when you use a high spring rate in the back? It's just like the cars you see riding around on cut springs; the owner went the cheap route of raising their spring rates. Anyway, I noticed that the rear didn't always have good traction with the high spring rate.

I saw some other FF setups where people used low spring rates and high shock settings. I tried it, and noticed the rear stayed planted. However, the tail will still rotate, so you have the same understeer-killing effect with none of the bounce.

Btw, I like your screen name. I live in the US, but I've read about the Suzuki Ignis Sport and want one, bad.
