This Civic Si is also lighter and stiffer than its predecessor, though Honda doesn't specify exactly by how much. Adaptive dampers with Normal and Sport settings are standard, as is a helical front limited-slip differential. The Si also shares its front upper control arms with the ultra-hardcore Civic Type R.
The seats in both vehicles were cloth. RESULTS Within 20 minutes, readings in both cars exceeded 125 F and reached a maximum stabilized temperature in 40 minutes (Figure). The temperature rise in the first 10-minute interval was more severe for the dark-colored enclosed sedan than for the light-colored minivan. The maximum stabilized temperature was also higher for the dark enclosed sedan (140 F compared to 138 F), which was a temperature rise of over 45 F in less than 1 hour.
This study compares the temperature rise inside two vehicles exposed to sunlight. METHODS. Using a Labcraft 227-876 thermometer, we measured the increase in interior temperature of two cars exposed to the sun. Serial readings were taken every 10 minutes from 2:30 PM to 4:00 PM in downtown New Orleans on July 27, 1995.The outside ambient temperature was 93 F at the beginning and end of the testing process.he seats in both vehicles were cloth. RESULTS Within 20 minutes, readings in both cars exceeded 125 F and reached a maximum stabilized temperature in 40 minutes (Figure). The temperature rise in the first 10-minute interval was more severe for the dark-colored enclosed sedan than for the light-colored minivan.
