Quite pleased, 2 of my m8's now have type r's so thats

i raced one when i first got my xe, was only a couple of days afterpicking the car up and my ecu light came on, but thought, fuck it, i'll have a go. he started pulling away at 115-120ish, was good though. Now the LET just rapes them.

Nice cars the Civic type R
Pull really well considering the low amount of torque. Engine really steps up at 6200rpm
Two of my mates have one

One of them has had it supercharged - 320BHP. Now thats a quick car
