“I love everything about the Honda Civic Type-R!!!...”

Written on: 25/09/2003 by Reeves (1 review written)

Bad Points
The only bad point of the car would be the interear.. Its a bit plane and plasticy! It needs carbon fiber as the dash and the trimings.Get a bit more crome inside as well and it would be the nuts!!!!!!!!
Also anouther bad point is wear the Vtec kicks in at 6000 RPM it would be much better if it were to kick in at 3000RPM! Awsome.

Having worked on Hondas for 15 yrs you start to realise the way Honda work, if they loaded the car up with carbon effect dash and chrome that would put the price up (putting it out of reach of even more peoples price range)and you have got to remember what youre getting for your money
<br>one of the most advanced engines in the world (the v-tec engine technology was fitted in vehicles back in 1990) and no other manafacturer has yet been able to match it,and now we are talking about the iv-tec engine that dont just give greater valve lift,retard timing,& and adjust fuel /air ratios it also mechanicly alters the engine belt timing.
<br>six speed gearbox
<br>(close shift)
<br>pgm-fi racing injection, discs all round,recaro racing front seats,pgm-ecu computer system(wich includes "get me home mode" if something goes wrong instead of breaking down it will configor itself and try to work around the problem to keep the car running. honda racing suspension designed with help from mugan (honda racing department in japan)
<br>you get a lot for your money
<br>also v-tec system comes in at 5000rpm revs out to (if my memory serves me right)aprox 9000rpm
<br>if the v-tec system came in at 3000rpm you would experience mid range lag.

Totally agree with Type r's your paying for the engineering the engine and gearbox are amongst the best in ANY car, if you want flash interiors and luxury your barking up the wrong tree

Disagree with kicking in at 3000rpm, 6000 and beyond is the power range. if you want power at 3000rpm, get a diesel.
<br>Petrol engines naturally rev higher!, a petrol at 3000rpm has no horsepower, horsepower comes from the high rev range. Any car tuner knows that!
