Small are the 900-1100cc engines you'll find spackled all over the UK and parts of Europe, if our gas cost $3/litre we'd be the same here as well

I'm trying to figure out why the horse power peak is at 5600 rpm, yet it spins all the way to 8800. I hope thats a typo.

Well I think the wetness around the ENTIRE CAR would give the impressive that it'd been driven right before taking those pictures.

For some reason, I like it. I think it'd be a fun car to start from scratch with instead of an Si. I'd definately buy one as a 2nd car to use as a beater/weekend-get-stupid car. You could swap the engine easily and have a lot of fun from there.

makes me kinda think that the k20 might have been meant for our cars, and the d17 for the hatch.

based on: fuel efficiency competition back then (civic vs. prius)
insight is a hatch. why not make civic hatch that's fuel efficient?

and other things similar to that...

I wouldnt hate on the EP1 too much folks. Dynax got 97HP and 100lb/ft with basic mods. The EP1 (and EP2) are not just good on Fuel (UK prices £3.40/$5.90 a Gallon) it is good on insurance being Group 4. BTW EP2 is Group 6 and Type-R is Group 18.
Here are some insurance quotes for the Type-R
http://www.insurancequotes.org.uk/qu...odels/?m=civic
Those premiums are yearly in Pounds times by about 1.7 for Dollars. The fourth column marked Pts is speeding points each speeding ticket in UK is 3 points or more hit 12 and no driving for 2 years. Points last for 3 years. If banned then that is on licence for 5 years. High points or ban showing on licence then most Insurance companies wont cover and the ones that do will charge a lot more.
