Honda Civic Type-R Showroom Launch
if the track time is the only matter , different between clio197 and the type R should be close !!! i do think the type R is much more fun to drive .
serious it is so tempting to me , i may trade my clio for this !!

Is this a 1.8 DOHC Vtec or the same R18 SOHC that comes on every other civic? Anybody have more engine specs. I thought it had a K20 in it!!!
Being a Honda fan....i'm neutral on it!!
But for the price they're are better options like the EVO, 350Z etc...
I think the price would be fair if it cam with a K20!!

@ Toleg: Would a EK with a B18C swap perform equally or better to a stock S2K?

Test drove the car over the weekend.
Very smooth, very nice. Loved the transmission.
You also get 20,000kms free service, and since Aamir works for Honda, he can also get us 6,000AED off the price (employee discount!).
Just kidding bout the discount But I am sure Honda is willing to discuss Tint/Rust Proofing for free as well
