if the track time is the only matter , different between clio197 and the type R should be close !!! i do think the type R is much more fun to drive .

serious it is so tempting to me , i may trade my clio for this !!

Is this a 1.8 DOHC Vtec or the same R18 SOHC that comes on every other civic? Anybody have more engine specs. I thought it had a K20 in it!!!
Being a Honda fan....i'm neutral on it!!

But for the price they're are better options like the EVO, 350Z etc...

I think the price would be fair if it cam with a K20!!

It does have a K20, the one with the 1.8 is the Euro 5 door Civic.

I believe you albertho, Toleg is really good.

DLock · Post by **DLock** » 22 Mar 2010, 5:58 pm

So the one being sold here is the one with the K20 init right? How come the poster says 1.8 I-vtec engine and its the hatchback.....Just a little confused....Shud check it out myself!! LOL!!!

OT

@ Toleg: Would a EK with a B18C swap perform equally or better to a stock S2K?

toleg · Post by **toleg** » 22 Mar 2010, 8:32 pm

@ dlock

could be but depend on the swap and what is put on it

Okay nice, I'm kinda jealous lol I wish we had that car here

Test drove the car over the weekend.

Very smooth, very nice. Loved the transmission.

You also get 20,000kms free service, and since Aamir works for Honda, he can also get us 6,000AED off the price

(employee discount!).

Just kidding bout the discount

But I am sure Honda is willing to discuss Tint/Rust Proofing for free as well
