Civic Type R - Anyone gonna get one of these?
#2
Seen that a few weeks ago and is impressive. I used to have a 5dr Civic 1.8VTi-S which was fun and practicle. That new Type-R is a good all round package and is looking like a favourite to replace my Impreza with.

I do like the look of the JDM Civic, however £23k is a lot for a Civic though.

I've found one for a bit less than £23k. It's a "pre-reg" one but it's a big saving and is tempting!

The differences in the engine spec of the previous CTR (EP3) between a JDM and UK car was loads. JDM car had longer duration cams, larger inlet manifold, 4-2-1 exhaust manifold, higher CR.
JDM cars are superior in many ways.

Dont Tar us all with the same brush but yes i agree, not all car salesmen are car buffs like us.
The engine is the same as the UK market civic but the ECU has be fettled with in accordance with the higher RON fuel.

But it is a fact that the dealers of any car marque know nothng about the cars they sell. I've had a Ford dealer tell me the Ford Racing Puma had the 2L Zetec in it (b*llocks) and a Mazda salesman tell me that the RX-* PZ (Prodrive version) was more powerful than the standard car (again, b*llocks).
