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

Nope.. it's the same spec as the uk 1.6 vtec. 164 bhp :)


Spec:
1.6 B16A DOHC Vtec Engine
Limited Edition Jordan F1 Team model
500 Made
Full Black and Yellow leather interior
Type R Rear spoiler
Type R Front grill

Whats the spec of the typeR?

197bhp

1.8 Vtec

White Black Silver or Red... AFAIK

Recaro Front Bucket Seats

LSD

Probably more, but cant remember anything else just now!! :D

Cheers,

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.

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.

how fast was the ek9?

see my post above.

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