Civic Type-R

[Xer0]

Yeah, it's kinda like having that sub 8 minute ring time SUV.  You aren't gonna do it, but it's nice to know that someone can with your thing.  Although I would love to follow a Sporty engine swap thread

[CaminoRacer]

If I buy a new car, it's so I don't have to mess with it. Old cars are easier and cheaper to do swaps on.

Window sticker was leaked.  Touring model has a msrp of $34k

Sporty's engine swap thread would be just like any Tavarish engine swap ideas:

All talk, no action, and very light on the details on how it would actually work.

That's actually not bad.  Better than expected.

Where is this coming from?

[68_427]

I think that's hard on sporty

Tavarish is such an idiot that I refuse to clock his videos in dear that they'll get more exposure on YouTube and people who don't know how dumb he is can't watch it and then get hurt your fuck their own shit up

[Laconian]

Oh boy, there's a sig. I laughed.

Sounds like it needs more HP then.

It is interesting that the 2015 Version now looks almost tame, and clean from a 2017 perspective.....

[r0tor]

The 2017 R could easily fit in with some of the worst of the early 2000's import tuner cars

It sounds perfect for someone like me. Fun, quick, and still economical.

Hopefully someone will make a bodykit that can tone down the looks

I don't think that's how body kits work. 

[12,000 RPM]

It will have to for this. This thing cannot get any more ugly or outlandish.

Are Shogun body kits still around?  I'm sure they can make things worse.

I shed a tear when I saw them close down the Kaminari... factory? Warehouse?... in Brooklyn. They made a nice lip kit for my old Accords.

[r0tor]

I still have nightmares of the shogun kits for my old gen 2 Probe GT

If you're lucky enough to get ahold of a new Honda Civic Type R and want to dress up the hot hatch with some official accessories, then check out the pricey extras that Honda is offering customers in Japan.

Give the CTR some red accents by adding a three-piece garnish over the grille and upper part of the headlights for the equivalent of $293 (at current conversion rates). Honda also offers a replacement $1,564 carbon fiber rear wing with a crimson polyester weave for a dash of color at the back. For an extra splash of color, buyers can pick from Crystal Black Pearl or Red mirror covers for $137 each. A set of yellow LED fog lights go for $308.

As a replacement for the attractive stock wheels, Honda has a set of 18-inch forged pieces for $2,445. They are the same 8.5-inch width as the parts that come on the Type R.

Inside, buyers can spend a lot of money on accessories. An aluminum shift knob with red leather covering costs $181. If you think a dealer in the United States charging $298 for Type R floor mats is bad, it hardly compares to Honda pricing a set for the equivalent of $577. The company also offers red-tinged carbon fiber trim for the dashboard ($440), center console ($254), and door panels ($420). The company offers red LED accent lights for the footwell ($98), door pockets, and handles (combined $127).

In the United States, the CTR starts at $34,775 including destination. Its 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder produces 306 horsepower (228 kilowatts) and 295 pound-feet (400 Newton-meters) of torque. The only available gearbox is a six-speed manual because an automatic would allegedly make the hot hatch too heavy.

Damn those wheels are nice.

[AutobahnSHO]

Yup. But I paid less than those go for for my legacy.

[Raza]

I honestly can't tell if it's hideous, if I like it, or both.

[CALL_911]

Those wheels are awesome

Wheels need more aggressive offset. They sunk its battleship

There's a reason the factory sets the wheels back so they are fully under the fenders.  If you drive on any gravel or stone & oil roads, you quickly understand the pitfalls of hella flush.

Something I deal with frequently!  Being set in a touch really helps keep the spray (of whatever) down.

I always drive my Civic Type-R on forest service roads
