My uncle came round yesterday in his latest motor, he has got a Honda Civic 1.6 VTI VTEC. It's an S reg one with the bug style lights, UK car.
Anyway he took me out for a spin and these things are rapid!! Wouldn't rate the interior as being particularly sporty but it flies. The VTEC as well, it had us grinning
Whats the stats on these? 0-60 and top speed?
What tuning bits are out there for them too? They hold their price really well!

had a play with a CRX (same 160bhp engine) the other night and that was very close indeed.
Amazing little cars when you think that they are only 1600cc

Went to autosport motorshow at nec at weekend and there was a company there that would supply and fit a supercharger to the civic type R taking BHP from 197 to 440 for £4,500 including warrenty etc.
They had one there that had done 10,000 miles with no problems. Transmission apprenty is good for 450 BHP on the type R's. They had an offical document stating that from Honda
