im in a bit of a dilema right now, ive got a 2005 civic type r premier right now, great car to drive etc........ but i cant decide whether to keep it and tune, kpro then supercharge, or sell it and go for either 2dr impreza/ 05ish impreza or evo 8.
my insurance renewal is up in september so i'll be looking to make my mind up before then.

seems like a obvious answer, why keep the civic type r?

but cant help thinking a S/C type r would be awesome and something a little bit different. to be honest the only thing that puts me off it is FWD and lack of grip etc....


what you guys think i should do?

old thread, but ive bit the bullet so to speak and just ordered loads of parts for the type r yesterday and today.

will keep updates coming as work gets done, will be looking at roughly 340bhp and a rather low bank balance
