Was probly a nice car before all the amature mods to it. Opening the bonnet and trying to fan out the flames only increases them! typical yanks.

false power? thats called nitrous mate my car aint lightning quick, 150ish bhp, clutch is starting to slip too  but it does me. plus nobody knows what it is Type Rs, decent enough cars, but its all top end stuff. i'm not denying its quick as fuck, but theres quicker cars to be had for the same money...

Name one It's a misconception that Type R's are all top end power. My one is an 05 plate with the lighter flywheel and the torque is strong from 3k rpm. People say their all top end because VTEC engages at 5800 rpm and think their gutless below that, just not true. For £16k you will not get a faster car. 0-60 in 6.6 secs and 0-100 in 16 secs :twisted: New Astra VXR has 237 bhp but weighes nearly 1400 kg so the power to weight ratio is 170 bhp per tonne (4 more than Type R). In 2007 the new Type R arrives and i can't wait

apparently the new Type R is supposed to be horrid. It's had a face lift which has made it look nasty.
Friend of mine was looking at one for the new year and has seen pictures of it and apparently it's horrid. Much like what Subaru did to the Impreza.
In a way i have to agree with Legget. Type R's power only comes at 5800rpm. Until then it's quite ordinary. With only 145lb torque there isn't much to pull it along until the Vtec kicks in. Once in the Vtec it flies but out of it i think it struggles. Now what you need is a Turbo just to help the 2k - 5krpm range and the car would be a flyer.

Oh no, rev's suck, its low down torque u need, ie a supercharger (instant go), or a turbo charger (2 are better one high pressure and one low pressure), im sure most R-Type are fun, but u arent going to break any records compared to evo-scooby-skyline- type of thing,,, and Magic u r spot on mate, turbo's are great but add nitrous oxide or laughing gas as we know it, it will increases the engine power big time, shove no2 on a 1.3 metro and it will keep up with and r-type (in a strait line) so just imagine what it will do to a car with 280 bhp (impreza) as standard..............
