not a Ford but had an RS for 8 years so I think I warrent to post a few pics..

Had this car for nearly 2 months now, and starting to enjoy it

 

What does it handle like???



looks nice

 

Radders...

Before I bought it, people often mentioned that they handle well.. and true, they do.. sticks to the road nicely.. Feel so much more confident throwing it about, compared to in the escort.. Would like to take it out on the track and see what its like..

Surprised about the brakes tho (although they are very good) Id have thought these would come with 4 pots on the front

 

Cool

 

i had grey 1 b4 my st and it had 222bhp and 9k rev limit,loved that car,i thaught brakes were poor tho and the gearbox is awesome!!!!!

 

very nice m8, well done with the wax and polish!

 

Love it
Looks much better than the new one imo

 

mines in at honda having the usual 2nd gear crunch sorted and the rear tyres were feathering they have modded the rear arms on them, its under warranty but apart from that its an awsome car when i get to drive mine as my mrs has stole it as a shopping car lol

 

do like the type r's in black

 

very nice mate

 

2nd gear crunch.. mines under warrenty too as I bought it from Honda, but so far so good, so havent had to use it..

Is this a common problem, if so, I'll tell them to do it for the principle..


Many thanks for the comments

 

nice looking motor there m8,i had a 1 from new and loved it,i thought the brakes where shit when drivern hard for long periods imo.took it on track as well at combe and it was excellent fun and seemed to hold its own

 

I have a 52 satin silver one, great car.

Looking for a black one for my sister with no luck, soooo many nails out there

Westy, 2nd gear can be an issue on some, as can streering racks, reverse gear and rear tyre wear on the inside, due to the rear cambers not being adjustable, so you would have to fit aftermarket kits so that it can be.Steering can be heavy on parking, think this is due to it being electric so give it a blip on the throttle when parking and turning.

Some don't seem to wear as bad as others so just keep an eye on it

www.civictype-r.co.uk is worth a visit for some info

what you pay for yours, looks nice.

Looking good mate!! They are great fun cars. CAn take it steady or have a mad five mins in. The do handle well to dont they


Mine might be up for sale in next to months, as need to get a DErv and start building a deposit as big as i can for a house... Booo ....

really like them in black

 

ive grown to like the type r's an it does look awesome in black

 

if anyone is bored, could you knock up a sig for me please..?

 

nice cars

 

I love mine, bit guttless low down, and the power is nothing like a turbo, but that screamer of an engine is fun

Great cars, seats are fantastic, gear positioning is spot on.

I would say the only downsides are, they can be abit squeeky steering when parking is a little pants and the turning circle makes you look like a leaner driver doing a 5 point turn

BUT, so much car for the money, got mine for 7k and is a cracker, just got my little sister a black one for 7500 and it is MINT and I mean mint, not a single mark on the whole car, not even a stone chip and totally original

Not sure how others feel, but actually prefer the more savage looks of the pre facelift ones 2001 - 2003

 

just sold mine

nice cars

 

 

top..

could someone sort out a sig please??

 

mot'd mines last week.straight through.oh and didnt use one bit of oil all year even tho folk say theres do a lot.really great everyday cars

 

more infractions recently? your points look higher. youd better make sure your sigs the right size or itll be a ban for you

 

Lovely having a car that goes straigt though hey! used to hate taking the RST lol..

mine isnt due until the 25th April, but booked in for a service Friday, so may as well get both done there and then.. Honda want 100quid to change the oil but the service history is full honda so really want t keep it up! Free MOT though hopefully it goes straight through like last time..

Fuzzy, got a warning because of my sig... hence wanting a new one lol

 

p.s the oil rumour is bollocks.. mine is used everyday and havent had to top it up since last April... thats a year..! Ok, so I dont do many miles but still...
