True to his words, Hondata, a well-known California-based tuning company that specialises in Honda, has released a tuning package for the hot hatch.

 

Using its FlashPro kit, the latest FK8 turbocharged 2.0-litre in the Civic Type R is said to be able to gain a tidy increase of 47bhp and 98Nm of torque over its factory output of 316bhp and 400Nm of torque.

 

Bear in mind this jump in power does not require any other modifications. If there are any, owners of the hot hatch might even gain more power.

  • Is 'tiny living' really irrelevant in Singapore?

    I discussed the possibility of living in tiny houses in Singapore in an earlier blog post. But as we know, it isn't an option to begin with – no thanks, of course, to our lack of land space.  Someone also pointed out that the idea of tiny houses is "romanticised" – which, I don't deny (but hey, that's why it's a dream). While it's clear tiny houses aren't going to work out here, the concept of 'tiny living' is; not just physically but also mentally. Anyone who has lived enough years lo
