yeh, the euro R is garbage compared to the JDM R, ive seen that vid with it hanging with the NSX, wasn't Tuchiya(sp) driving the type R?

JDM things are always better, even the JDM ep3 is better, it has the k20A, not like the Euro ep3 which has the k20a2.

:yeahthat: I would even take the 4 door with a turbo motor. The K23 found in the RDX would be sweet in a Type R. Doubt it will ever happen though :mfrown:

the euro r sucks
you could get out of the door with a type r for 26,900
but that will be the standard version, there will be plenty of options available to bump the price.

If you start at 160 flywheel hp, you can build and get more just the same way you can if you start with 200 fly hp.

The nice thing about mods is that your insurance company thinks you have a 160 hp car not a 300 hp out of the box sportscar.....:mangel:

Touché

The EP is very overrated as far as insurance rates. You pay about the same as if you had a G35. Horsepower isn't everything.

I'm still waitin for the RWD Civic!!!! YAH!!! Drift King!!!! lol

Forget the type Rs, i'll take that oddyssy or the steam.

Agreed.

28k for a civic is a crime i dont care how many big shiny R's are on it.

for that price better higher capable performance vehicles can be attained. i say nty honda to that shit

ill keep my ep, besides they prob wont make much more hp over what most of you are pushing now

good job bumping a zombie thread...

and for the record, you arent just paying for HP in the type r, you are paying for a lot of other goodies, if you just think the only difference is power output or if thats the only number you care about, then its obvious the type r wouldnt be the right car for you anyway :mrolleyes:

where's that 2010 usdm ctr..

I have a yellow 2010 CTR




matchbox.

I have a 2012 Civic Type X with twin flux capacitors, a triple core processor and it even has a snorkel!
