Does anyone know if the Civic Jordan (the yellow one) is the same spec as the Jap Civic type R? - both previous models?

I thought the Jordan had 158bhp to be precise (although some people round it up to 160bhp), whereas the JDM-only Type R (also 1600cc) kicked out an incredible 185bhp

No LSD on the Civic and well peaky power delivery, but just look at that 0-60 time - yet to be bettered by a front wheel drive car.

Was considering a Jordan but the Rallye got the nod, and was cheaper as well. Bet Hondas are screwed together better though.

Turboboost is correct, and its still a 1.6 engine on the early ones. The ITR got the 1.8 version.

Fundamentally the same motor though.

Yup - its just a rebadged and limited edition colour of a Civic VTi.

Type R

JDM CTR

1.6 - b16b

183bhp - 185ps

ABS, PAS, Electric Mirrors, Electric Mirrors, Red Recaros (Same as ITR (DC2), LSD, Front Strut Brace in Red, 5 Lug wheels, same gearbox/clutch/Brakes as ITR with shorter ratios.

0-60 - 5.7
Top Speed - 146mph proven with recording equipment on an Autobahn in Grmany last year.

My old modded one ran a 1/4 mile in 14.01.

The only thing the Jordan has in common is the Civic name and shell, virtually everything is different.

Just out of interest what are 1998/1999 CTRs worth? (if you can find one, which is virtually impossible)

They seem to hold there value pretty well as they are in such small numbers over here and a bit of a cult car, I looked at the prices before I bought an ITR, didn't seem to be much under 9k for a 97/8 model, one import car specialist was asking 11,995 for a 98 model! After looking I decided the ITR was much better value, and also the better car.

I was under the impression that 2 versions were made of this CTR, one was a road going version with interior as per ITR but without the LSD, and the other, a stripped out racing version with cheap seats and steering wheel, but this came with LSD.

the chosen one

how fast was the ek9?

Type R

see my post above.

There were numerous versions, which included a stripped out version. The spec above is the full spec.
