with sum mods it wood be bad ***

Yeah it could further be modified out but why mess with a good thing.?
or blow something up...! "its pretty moded up from Honda already"

the Evolutuion of The Honda Civic has really come along ways i still remember seeing the first Civic's
that were driven on the streets 1st one in 1973 only had a whopping (59 H.P. engine)... its a Far cry
from what we have today. cars in the late 70's were under powered from federal emission requirements but they

still were fun to drive I remember driving my dads 6cyl 77 Pontiac Ventura it had a Quadra Jet 2 barrel carburetor
with No A/C in the Car. You had to drive around in the summer time with the windows rolled down. and many times
You could smell the exhaust fumes coming in the car from the carburetor. oh

Yeah with steal crome bumpers thicker gauge sheet metal all around it was a heavy tank for sure far cry
from what we drive today getting back to the Civic type R I aplaud Honda for what they made.!!
Yes..! i would Love to have one.

A slightly detuned (less ballsy) version of this engine will be available in the next Accord, also available will be a 10 speed automatic trans.

& handling Civic machine if I say so my self.

Remind me of the s2k.
the common mods would actually make the car lose power and handling instead of improving

I saw the dual link front macpherson suspension, pretty interesting.

Ah, I will move this to the 10th gen section

ezone

Most users call that an "upgrade"
Yea it's quite the busy suspension for a Civic!
I should have taken pictures while I had one in the air.

the rear wing is fuctional as well, brembo brakes for stopping power, & aluminum hood with scoop.
"only 2 colours to choose from white or black"
though..? wonder why only 2 colours I guess white would be the choice.

ezone

The Type R is available in 5 exterior colors:

Crystal Black Pearl
Polished Metal Metallic
Rallye Red
Brilliant Sporty Blue Metallic (Aegean Blue)
Championship White


Not sure if it's the same outside the USA.

the front suspension is entirely new Honda calls it "Dual Axis Strut Front Suspension"
it eliminates the torque steer" pretty impressive suspension for a front wheel drive car with 295 Foot pounds of Torque.

7 inch Navigation screen- Yes good to have

Apple CarPlay, android Auto- "Could care less about it" - being I'm old school

540 watt 12-speaker stereo system- Yes Love it!

6 speed manual transmission- Yes only comes in 6 speed

20-inch aluminum wheels with 245/30ZR tires- Yes Love it!

comes in "Red Coloure" - Yes Love it

Well I was thinking of waiting a couple more years to upgrade but I'm thinking that needs to happen sooner rather later. Everything that I have read about the 2018 sounds pretty sweet.
