there 187bhp and the uk is a better spec than a 96 spec jdm and not much difference between them and a 98 spec. In the real world the ukdm and 98 spec are not much differnet more of a difference between 96 and 98 spec jdm imo. I could understand your reasoning if the ukdm dc2 didnt come with a lsd like the jdm does but it doe, where as there are major differences between the jdm and ukdm civics like 20bhp and a lsd lol
