So far I like it more than your motor now and it should be less problematic

Just rang him, Japanese guy I think, sounds genuine.
Rolling roaded at 240 bhp at the fly My Type R would make mince meat of it in the straights.

My brothers boss races one, we went to see it last year at silverstone, the thing was ballistic... Then again it did have the Mugen engine!

I've always liked them. Love the one from pistonheads Ricky, looks tasty. Should I be saving up to buy a blue type R?...

they are good but you need to drive the **** out of them to get full potential and by the time you have done that you have to brake

nice sporty feel but power input is to late , alex had one and it was at full revs most of the time trying to keep up with me

Nice cars, but it's back to last years dilema - have you now got the type R were you want it, and if so do you want to start over

Nice cars though

I had a DC2 before the my scooby.
It was either getting the DC5, RX8 or the Impreza.
In the end the 4WD and turbo wins.
You need to spent $$$$ to get the power to match a scooby.
It's down to you mate, at the end of the day...

Great cars...... very reliable and fast on the track.....that's were it ment to be.... Could use as a everyday car as well , before the v tec it feels smooth and lazy BUT....... as u said your self and mr magooli mentioned, u'll need to rip the ***** out of it to get it to the full potential..... U'll miss that scooby rush at the begining as soon as u'll get into dc5. But u won't miss al the tech bugs that terrorize classic scoobs.... u'll get the best out of it just on the track unfortunately bud...... Otherweis Hondas type rs are great......

It means its not allowing people to link the url of the pic to a different site.
All you gotta is save the pic, and upload it yourself, then link it.
Or just put the url of the pic in your address bar. It'll take you to the pic then...hope this helps mate...

Ricky,

It happens to the best of us i was tempted by all manner of thing but in the end the force was too strong..
You have got a really nice type R i would just enjoy that till the JDM STI starts calling.

if you buy the honda mate you will be disapointed coming from a scoob imo. i took the civic type r for a test a few years back , the sales man told me to use the power so i took him on a round trip of the twistys of harefield lol he **** his pants , i took it back told him it wasnt quick enough got back in my scoob and burbled off . he was ringing me for weeks after trying to get me to buy one and i kept telling him come out in the scoob and then you know what i mean . they sound nice , and look lovely but there is just no omph unless you spend $$$ on superchargers etc
