**NON VAG** Civic Type R

i drove a pretty beat up one a couple of years ago and enjoyed it, gearstick took a bit of getting used to though

 

Girl at work had a black face-lift 54-plate Type-R before chopping it in for a new Accord. Nice build quality and went well enough when revved hard. They're a tad mundane in the looks department, other than the interior. Would be tempted as a daily driver, but aren't they in a high tax band bracket?

 

yea at first i thought this felt wierd but i really like it now, tax back i think its similar to the Astra i think same 115 for 6 months and whatever for the year, overall im pleased with it the only really let down really is the wheels the laquar and dirt, but as soon as the money is avalible i want to get them refurbed to maybe to a slightly darker colour maybe athracite i think or slightly lighter then black,

 

It was nice to have. It had Recaro seats and AC and only had 7000 miles on it when I got it 2 years old.

As has been said, they are nice but not a car I fell in love with. Unlike a GTM Libra

 

wow, ok, i really like mine, however i need to now get a scratch out the side looks like somebody keyed it but not to long tho

 

TTS do a lovely rotrex kit for those engines...take a look.

 

TTS ? tell me more

wow, 260 bhp, thatll make a difference proably more tricky in the wet tho, lol

 

not too bad prices either......

 

not bad money - but for a student not as yet, lol

 

i have seen far to many of them in ditches apparently great to drive if you know what your doing but dodgy on bumpy roads i was behind my mate in one booted it went to go round a bend and the car just went sideways rolled 8 times and ended up half a mile away in a field nasty

 

ouch, had it 2 weeks, and agree does feel abit tricky in the wet but just depends how you drive it, if you drive silly maybe you would end up in the hedges

 

most my mates have rolled 1.2 corsas!!! so if you want to drive like a prat on the road you will end up in trouble no matter what you drive.

mx5 in the wet is eventful..... how do you find town driving coco?? As i remember a thread on here saying that abf's etc where a nightmare in town due to no 'low down torque'... suppose you have to avoid them and take another car??

 

yea well said, if you drive silly your asking for it, town driving can be hard because its quite eager to get up and move
