Why would you want an old designed car new??? Yeah pay cheaper for a second hand one but NEW??? noway its like formula 1 using 1996 cars they have no chance with newer ones
Thats the listed 0-62 time in TopGear mag...... Of couse 0-62 times tell you lots.... your not going to be driving the civic lower than 5k if your racing someone and above that is where the power is.... Myself I would rather have torque & bhp lower down the revs like the 172 but in a straight...

Civic type R 0-62 6.8 seconds.... 172 0-62 7.2 seconds..... Your have to out drive a type R to beat it.... but hey what would you rather have a shopping trolly on 17s or a 172?

Yes it comes in two pieces... the pipe comes off CAT then bends slightly at other end.... then the back box is bent in much the same way as the standard exhaust and just fits straight on. Now when you look under my car the pipe follows the exhaust shielding exactly but its a nice stainless...
You do get a little bit of performance gain out of it to.... It Revs much easier... Just makes a 1.2 16v a little bit more fun until you have the no claims for a 172 lol
Minis aint bad.... problem is you can pick up a 172 for 12k.... so either 15850(chilli pack) for a mini or Clio 172 for 12000 You could spend the other 3k on mods
I think it looks the nuts... It fits easy onto the back of cat there is one of those sh*tty clamp things.... then Its all adjustable so you can fit it tight up the exhaust channel... I was quite impressed with my fitting job, needs 2 people though unless your skilled. K-tec have a pic...

It has to be cat back because the standard pipe is one whole pipe from your cat... I had to saw my one off....... plus the k-tec one has a bigger diameter so just the back box wont fit
The end of the day it will always be a 1.2..... or a 1149cc.... Im just building up me no claims while paying off mine then im getting a 172.... or what ever else is out at the time....
