Apparently it has 240 ponies.

I followed an import Civic Type R saloon thing along the motorway last week and it appears they have absolutely NO suspension travel. Just perfect for our roads Back to top Matt Nuclear My Car: Astra Coupe 1.8 SE2 Joined: 18 Jan 2007 Posts: 12018 Location: Plymouth, UK Posted: Mon Jun 22, 2009 7:01 pm    Post subject: The Civic Type R saloon is very highly regarded over here. I've just checked EVO's piece and it says it handles mid-corner bumps well and the damping is good enough. _________________ Small car, big heart.

Maybe the one I saw had been modded then because it looked VERY jiggly on what seemed to be a flat piece of motorway.

Like the Focus RS, there's only so much Halfords plastic you can adorn a car with before it starts looking like a 16 year olds wet dream. _________________ - Insert clever and/or amusing quote here - Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         The Motor Forum Forum Index -> New Cars and Concepts All times are GMT + 1 Hour Page 1 of 1   Jump to: Select a forum The Motor----------------Welcome to the MotorGeneralOn the RoadNew Cars and ConceptsYour CarsTest DrivenClassic CarsForum DiaryClassic Cars: Potted History Guides Motor World----------------In the MagsClassified InformationRacing PostsShow TimeBikesTrack DaysWay Back When Pit Stop----------------GamesPhotographyThe LoungeMummy and Daddy CornerAuto-JournalsTop Five or PollThe Best of the Motor  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum Card File  Gallery  Forum Archive Powered by phpBB © 2001, 2005 phpBB Group
