Over jumps? if you nail any car over jumps it wont do it any good. i always wanted a clio sport, or a v6 but i couldnt bring myself to play with french unreliability.

yeah see what your saying, but in my opinion, the engine and gearbox is the closest you'll get to a race engine under 10k in a standard car, especially with the revs and ratio's. the ride position and handling are immense too.

I'm shocked that I haven't seen "Jap crap" blabbered all over this post!
My friend dropped the Type R engine in his EK9, fook it's pretty rapid, but then again anything that'll rev up to nearly 9K gets my vote

ive got a accord type r 2000 model with the with the 2.2 lump in it wicked car goes like a rocket had it for two years have had to put tyres on it and thats it never realy liked them but know i own one it is a great car and oly got it as my daily driver as my rs turbo likes to brake down but dont they all

If I could buy my old Type-R back I would, they're great cars, especially for all you'll pay for a good one these days.

how have you found the switch to a FRS ? Running costs and reliabilty particularly please

foreigneRS

have had loads, loved them all. preferred the accord though. can't say about reliability or used ones though, mine were always brand new and went back after 3 months.

cant compare them mate as my type r done 15k miles per year as an everyday car and the focus less than 1k.fuel wise the type r was brilliant whereas the focus is crap but i expected that.get a decent miles type r with service history and should be trouble free motoring.

agreed, get the best car for your budget not the newest.

Also, be aware that honda paint is VERY thin and so stone chipps are common, and the red can fade and is almost impossible to sort due to it being laqured so you end up with pink panels and bright red plastics!

I have a low mileage one with full Honda service history... but am tempted to get a FRS . The thing is so reliable its hard to justify the swap..

danneth

exactly why i didn't want to change mine either, i cant help but think the mps cant take the hammering that the civic did hope im wrong though
