Click on User CP, then buddy/ignore list, then the rest is fairly obvious.
aah excellent :approve:, never clicked on the user CP bit... ooh, I've been a naughty boy
Back on topic and I cant stand Vtec, I found it had quite a shove when I was sat in the passenger seat, but when your driving it was harder to feel anything other than a slightly different audible note change from the engine and seemingly reving faster.
Maybe I'm looking at things through Rose tinted glasses, but a car that quick should be raw and rewarding like any 80/90's early hot hatches.

That'll be the difference between i-VTEC and old VTEC.
i-VTEC is a much smoother transistion.

Yep! Mind you the civic vti's are pap..
Thats because they don't have an aggressive 3rd Lobe LOL.
His post made me laugh hence the "lol!"
What also makes me laugh is how the following comments are allowed to be made.
As usual Seb, my favourite moderator, seems to let all this go.

prove it's not
I've driven my mates one countless times and whilst I find it horrible to drive and boring it's certainly quicker than a 172. A decent 172 may be able to hold one off until 100+, but a CTR pulls miles harder at the point you change to 5th in the Clio. Handling on most normal roads I'd say the Clio is much better, as it's more accessable to the majority of people, where the CTR feels stiff and skittish, but I'd imagine stock for stock it's a much better track car. I dont think 172's are that quick (if we're talking about full fat phase 2's), I've seen decent valvers easily keep with them to a ton.
I used to race one on a regular basis and he would come past after the ton,until then nothing in it.
Them valvers you spout of must have had willy engines

The Civic is faster round the track - it's right there in that video, and Tiff is a better driver than anyone posting in this thread. Just like, get over it heh. He always does one show boating lap then a quick lap - it just depends whichs bits they decide to show you. Some episodes you see both, some they just tell you the time and show some impressive camera shots - like this one.

Both are great cars. You get muchos bang per buck from the Clio but the CTR is better quality. It's all down to preference and price at the end of the day.
I much preferred the Clio to drive but I liked the interior of the Civic and the space. Came down to what I paid for my Clio - a lot less than the Civic!! Decision made. (Inc. running costs)
Also, I found the CTR a nightmare in the wet.

The type r is 200kg heavier than the clio, if they where the same weight then the type r would wipe the floor with clio. But that's another story all together

I def agree with that soo true, if they like it they make it look nicer and faster!!
182 still looks better, all day long lol

also wouldnt the civic stay in the v-tec once its in? i.e. when changing gears wouldnt it stay in the v-tec band at the lowest point in the rev range?

Actually, both in their own ways are very good, just like the Leon is good. How do you come to teh conclusion that they are both crap? Because you own a Cupra? So if any car you dont own is crap is that right?
