quite a few type R's round here.   they don't seem to be fair, lot of them have gone smokey and probaly lost quite a bit of there poke from new
all the VW's have gone bar 1.

Had a stab against my mate in his 59 reg CTR a few weeks ago, he now needs wants a supercharger as I walked him rather badly  :grin:

his is stock too, so 6.5 to 60mph against mine at 5.1. Manual V DSG.  :grin:

I told him, but he wanted to see if mine was really that fast.......then after I took him out in it and he agreead it was much faster than his....even when his Vtec kicked in! :laugh:

Aint no MK4 gonna keep up with a Type R that's for sure!
Especially round corners, the mk4 is a pig!

Double wishbone rear on the Type R Vs Torsion Beam!
How I'd kill for multi link or double wishbone again!

I had a K20 turbo Integra before and it trashed a 2Ltr Twin turbo Skyline after a 2mile stretch.
