As title had a short play with a 03 plate type r today,a model I used to own and like.It was only 2nd and then a long pull in third but after a couple of attempts to flog me and fail he ****ed it off.Still think that vtec engine is awesome.

I remember an oe one struggling to shake my old white one off with no more than 140bhp.. Perhaps his vtec hadn't kicked in yet.. :p

I think they are fantastic cars to drive, hadle very well but lagging a bit in the engine department. I had one for 3 weeks whilst my friend went on holiday he let me borrowed it. If I was to get one a turbo would have to be placed in there somewhere to keep me entertained.

Type r's are slow standard, good engines to tune though. I used to see off type r civics and integras no problems in my old white gtt with 140bhp.

Yeah been there, Type r's for an every day sports hatch are a good car :agree:. My last 5 used to make them look like a 1.2 :D and my mates redtop corsa standard 150bhp can pull out, pass one and pull away no problem :).

Nice to drive, reliable, easily tuneable not really a car for me though. A lad I know got a brand new type are for his 18th birthday and was gutted when my 5 used to whoop it. :laugh:

One of my mates used to have one around 7-8 years ago, he to was also gutted when my 160hp gtt rinsed him:laugh:

One thing I will say is you know you can push a type R on more or less any road and it will lap it up absolutly fantastic handling :agree: I once whooped a Subaru wrx at a set of lights in my mates! The Subaru driver must have totally bogged down on the launch because I was away by a car and a halfs lenght to 60mph. :laugh: his face was a picture at the next set of lights:ashamed: as daily I would have one in a heartbeat;)

It's a 1198 cc.... not even a 1.2.... :) if it didn't have a turbo it'll be a dam lawn mower.....

I used to have an Accord Type R (in my profile) my 5 would destroy it! :D still, a nice motor though - interior was lovely. I think the engine had 209 bhp and 160 lb torque standard.

I've had a blast following my mates old type r. 300hp supercharged. He only slowly pulled away and was very shocked how quick the 5 was!

I find unless a modern car has 300bhp then it has no chance. theres a leon cupra r and a corsa vxr i have seen a few times they get away until i get to 4k then im gone:burnrubber: keep it light and simple i say:D

Where has the other thread gone?

There were claims of high speed racing on the road, which is illegal, that thread was on a public forum and was moved incase police/insurance companies etc saw it (which may happen)

Guys - this is simple, if you think you have a fast car get to PPC next year and you can legally blitz everything in your path, or possibly have yours handed to you. You can tell all the tall stories you like then.

This thread is really not what this club is about.

Or go over to Germany and can test the top speed out on your car :wasntme:

tbh the civic type r's are clio 182 speed

the only type r's to consider are the first generation type r's from japan with the lsd, they may not be anything to shout about on the straights but you get them on a track or a good set of twisties and they are simply brilliant like :eek:

I didn't start the thread to say how fast a type r was,there was no high speed racing,it was just an observation that a 5 with around 140hp makes for a nippy little car.

i hear you mate. Iv run my 5 for all its ownership on around 13psi - thought it was so quick. Then jetted carb for 20psi and wow, makes 13psi feel slow

Mines 20psi carb top so maybe a touch more than 140hp,either way plenty quick enough for the odd blast.
