My Type R

[sharkaroo]

Only had it just over a week. Really like it (love is a strong word and i dont want to use it as its such a short relationship so far). Driving position and seats are fantastic as is the gearbox and engine! No rattles so far which is a pleasant experience after having the clio for 3 years.

Its a final edition so the Momo wheel, rear tints and seats are standard.

Be Nice!!lol

Great choice

Welcome to the vtec club

I'm no fan of the rear lights, much prefer the older ones.

Lovely colour, really like that.

 

[.GAZ.]

Much rather have a Type R than a poxy Clio!!

next wee car maybe!!

 

[Pedro]

Ive never been a fan of those gear sicks for some reason.

Nice clean(ish ) looking car though.

 

[B16DOE]

nice one mate got all the bit you would want on one nice

 

[Addz]

i like the colour and it look a good example but i just dont like them sadly... i think the problem is you see more type R's than the normal civic of that shape

 

[Paul_P1]

Nice car, but pity it's next to useless in this country, 90% of the time!

 

[sharkaroo]

Just like my 172 was!

 

[Paul_P1]

^The 172 would run rings round it in the wet!

 

[TomS]

I like that alot

 

[Daniel]

Wierd car this.

I don't like them at all. And 9 times out of 10 i dislike the helmets that drive them.

BUT! I will own one within the next year as I've always fancied one.

I couldnt care less about that, I dont boot it in the wet even when i had a 172! I just get on with it better as Its a bigger car better made, and the engine is fantastic.

Yeah I'd pick the type r all day.... such a well built car, I drove a 55 plate and loved it.

 

[sharkaroo]

And it doesnt cost 600 quid to replace the cam-belt!

 

[Rob_Willow]

Good choice mate

 

[JR]

Really like that, makes me want to pop to the local honda dealer and test drive one. Something i have been meaning to do for a while.

Agree, i much prefer the projector headlights in the newer ones also.
I was looking into one but insurance won't cover me till i turn 21.

Justin I think you'd like it tbh mate

 

[Bjorn]

Very nice, good choice. Any plans to modify at all?

 

[DebV6]

Looks really nice, it's the best colour imo

Google's Bristol Honda lol

 

[DazG]

Nice one!

My next car might be one of these, either that or a mk5 GTi...but that would be the spec and colour I want! Great choice!

 

[sharkaroo]

Very nice, good choice. Any plans to modify at all?

Yeah i have a new tax disc holder and silvervisions on the rear so far . Been looking at a few things but still early days!

 

[Shotgunsjay]

wish id of test drove one of these befor i got the clio....

lovely car that

 

[Brett]

car looks great mate, i'm more of a clio man personally, but a ctr is still a fine machine.

 

[ChrisH]

my mate has one of them in the exact same spec, premier edition with sat nav, ac, etc, really nice cars much better built, i wouldn't get one because i want a teg, lol

 

[brisa4984]

nice

Very nice looking example and welcome to the VTec world...

Take no notice of the comments you will get... I bet half have never driven a CS and CTR back to back long term.. I have as I owned a 172 and have a CTR and Trophy on the drive which I drive both regularly Both great cars in very different ways.. but it is what you like that is most important and it wouldnt do for us all to like the same thing.

Bridgestones are a nightmare in the wet because they dont hold the heat very well, but they are ace in the dry.. I have a good write up about the RE040 if you are interested drop me a PM.

1st mod I would get (and I did get) is a JDM anti-roll bar its under £100 and is a straight forward replacement.. this will improve the handling and you will notice it too

After that well depends on what route you want to go down...

The CTR is a great car I have to say I wasnt fussed on it at 1st but it really has grown on me and I love mine now.. happy driving.

 

[Adams_16v]

my favourite colour for them (other than white), looks very nice mate!!!

 

[hellsbells]

Enjoy in hun!

 

[Christopher]

Stunning!

The only UK EP3 i'd have. Nice choice!

You'll never get tired of that engine and gearbox... which is a good job since you'll certainly be working them!

 

[jayxx83]

looks slick mate, miles better than the shoddy fn2

 

[R20 CWH]

cosmic gay on here loves his as well, must be something about the final edition ones

 

[Alan]

Nice that...love that spec too..

If that was aimed at me, I had a 2 172's and a 172 Cup either side of the CTR. IMHO it desperately, desperately needs an LSD and a UK biased tyre choice.

 

[Neil G]

Looks great

Never driven one so can't comment on that but build ahs to be better than the Clio

I've got to agree... a little.

It'll happily spin up in second and squirm in third when VTEC comes in, on anything but a perfect surface.

That's why the JDM EP3 is the best option. LSD!

I wouldn't say no to one for sure! Championship White of course!

 

[Christopher]

The only colour to have.
