Theres not much point. Honda set the Change over there for a reason as its best for torque/power. The muppet who bought my old DC2 ITR got a Vtec controller for it, after messing about on a rolling road it was set back to standard as thats what gave the best results.

Driving one will improve you gear changes as you will be up and down the box like Jenna Jameson riding a cock Thats probably why i dont mind the big T4 when on track, as i am used to changing gear to keep it in the correct rev range.

I found my ITR very good fun for 18months, i really did make some cars with twice the power look very stupid around track in it. That was its down fall in the end though. I found it just to easy to drive, you could not even concentrate around track and still be lapping quicker than 80% of people.

If i tried that in the saph i would most probably end up back wards in the armco.

The Civic is a bloody good car that does lots of things well, i just urge you to test drive a DC2 ITR after the CTR and i think you will agree its even better. Only down side to the ITR is no 6th gear for motorways but i still used to managed 35mpg on motorway at 80mph.
