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.
People don't realize how hot it it can get in there, said Dr. David Pigott, emergency physician at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. With an outside temperature of 90 degrees, the temperature inside a car can rise to 110 degrees in 10 minutes and 120 degrees in 20 minutes, Pigott said. photo was taken every 5 seconds over an hour and compressed at a frame rate of 20 frames per second. The temperature in the vehicle went from 68 degrees to 114-116 degrees in one hour.
