KiNK43 Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 Awesome bet it was fun. I know what you mean I took a Mazda 3 mps for a test drive and the sales guy was egging me on constantly to boot it. Laughing away in the passenger seat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Brown Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 Too right mate. One hella big smile on my face each time i gave it beans! The sales guys pretty good, just lets me boot the crap out of it so i get a true impression of what its like. He just sits there laughing! lolI think i need a road trip to your dealer to test one myself Now that would be rediculous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIKH25 Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 Your decision makes sense, apart from the ridiculous amount of money you'd be throwing away part exing Lexy she definitely sounds like the better car to live with on a daily basis and when you need some vtec Ruby's sat there waiting.

Dave Posted July 21, 2013 Author Share Posted July 21, 2013 Exactly, got all the vtec I need with Ruby! But for anyone thinking about the TypeR, if you don't mind a really stiff suspension set up, go for it! The sound from it , even standard, is wicked!!!!

Krzys Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 EP3 would be the Type R of choice for me over the FN, just a better car all round I think! Though I'd love a JDM FD2!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted July 22, 2013 Author Share Posted July 22, 2013 Yeah, they don't feel as quick, but think it's down to the way the vtec works on them. It's really smooth power delivery, which is nice, but you tend not to notice just how bloody fast you're actually going! lolFD2 I would looooooove! stunning looking car!

Krzys Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 It doesn't help that it weighs more than the car it replaced but only makes one extra bhp, but I guess it's then down to personal preference! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Brown Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Just googled FD2 as i loose track with all these acronyms LOL WOW that is one lovely looking civic i do not think i ever heard of or seen it before now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIKH25 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 I think the problem with the FN2 is they tried to make it more refined which is not really with the type r ethos but still went for harsh suspension so missed there too. FD2 however is an awesome machine, bit more stripped out I believe, not seen one in the flesh yet. EK9 would be my Civic R of choice, DC2 my overall type R fave. B series FTW. You're right Mr B, all these acronyms, chassis codes and engine codes it does get a bit confusing, I'm just about getting the hang of them after 3 1/2 years in the Jap scene.
