Couldn't have put it better.

Anyone can stick NOS in their car and make it run 300bhp but how long till it goes bang. I used to own a CTR and the traction with 213bhp was a nightmare Great in the dry but any rain/snow you can forget it.

It's only running nitrous so it isn't real power in my opinion. Anyone can bolt nitrous onto anything

Thumbs up

You can acheive 300BHP with a supercharger, the EP3 Ive been in didnt feel like 300BHP, was quick and the power delivery was linear, really nice motor, traction is an issue off the line I guess, but thats not my sort of thing.

My old Honda dealer said that NOS would be fine and you keep your warranty . . . well, so long as it was not attributable to the problem in the event of a claim

JRSC is the way to go IMO, seriously flies Like a big metal sledge in the snow though.

I wonder if its 301bhp rolling road figures, or 301bhp made up from the top of his head. didnt think you could achieve 300bhp without using a supercharger or turbo on a Civic Type R.

i used to have a 260z

One of my favourite cars i ever owned, may get another one day. Triple dellorto 40mm carbs and a 2in straight-thru exhaust.

Handling was a hoot on the old wolfies and boy did it get some comments and stares (mind you it was canary yellow with black stripes )

Question I sent to the seller:

It says that there is 18 months warranty left on the car but how can that be with all the modifications that have been put on the car? Surely Honda will not uphold this warranty if anything went wrong? If this is the case then it is false advertising!"

Answer:

honda has never voided the warrenty, and when the car went back for warrenty work they had no problem doing the warrwnty work. and there is a warrenty company called warrentys direct that have no problem with modded cars. so no this is not fauls advertising.
