Interior seems a little shabby though...

wow~ nice car~

hope u get it~

Not bothered about the interior. Im sure its just a little dirty. Car has 60000km on the clock so I doubt the interior is stuffed.

Nice! With a valet it should look great! Nice power and torque outputs too

whats been done to the motor to get that kinda power out of a presumibly aspirated V-tec?

SilverBack · Post by **SilverBack** » 12 Jun 2008, 10:45

Just an observation...but the torque seems a bit low with relation to the KW its produces?

Post by **maxxis** » 12 Jun 2008, 11:15

Thats the thing. Enige is stock apart from the HKS Filter and Spoon exhaust system.

SilverBack. Thats the thing with Honda engines. High KW and low toque.

The engine is the B18C5 1800 VTEC. Same as on the Integra Type-R

PS. This is the original EK9 Civic Type-R and not the Civic with Type-R badges

Price is R120k

So you buy your wife a NEW Civic and yourself an OLD one?

I think Pedobear paid you a visit when you were a boy

Post by **ryanrich** » 12 Jun 2008, 12:02

Nice! Must perform really nicely at the coast!

SilverBack · Post by **SilverBack** » 12 Jun 2008, 12:03

Sheesh maxxis...you lucky bugger. Those Type-R's are damn nice. With all thos jokes on "VTEC just kicked in yo"...wouldnt bother me much at all if I had one. Awesome cars! Have been told the engine in my car is of Honda origins

old type r > new civic IMHO... its a better drive and looks better...also much more street cred and mod potential... correct maxxis?

You dont mod a Type-R unless you have the cash to spend on Spoon, HKS, Greddy, Toda etc etc etc

You wont find a single autostyle part on that

@DAE I didnt buy her a new Civic. Same shape as this EK9. lolz :p

That babys going to drink the juice though... Ah the sad, sorry tale of petrol price in SA...

Acidkidsa · Post by **Acidkidsa** » 12 Jun 2008, 13:43

Nothing wrong. I have just turned into a Honda fan.

If everything goes right. I get my type-R towards the end of the year...

SBSP · Post by **SBSP** » 12 Jun 2008, 15:19

If i had to chose between this one and the one after this it would be this one.

The only reason is because it doesnt have that silly looking 'beading' on the bumbers if you know what i'm referring to.

But to be honest, I dont like these civics that much got to like em a bit better after first 'the fast and furious'

the new civics that has the "BMW eagle look' is even worse.

Goodluck man

Where are the plates from?

N 31 503 V

???

Post by **maxxis** » 12 Jun 2008, 16:40

Its Namibia plates. Car will be registered in SA soon.

@ Jonboy The b18c motor is not as juice hungry as you think. The car will give surprisingly good consumption provided VTEC isnt engaged in every gear :p

Then again with 130kw on tap I might just be tempted to hit that 9000rpm limit in every gear.

SilverBack · Post by **SilverBack** » 13 Jun 2008, 08:09

9000 rev limit...damn...gotta love those honda engines!
