My mate with a car pretty identical to mine did a good job in mincing his mates 06 plate Civic Type R.

As mentioned already though, that one your mate had a tussle with on the Autobahn (PMSL) was most likely tuned, probably charged if it was pulling hard at 140mph. Remember though they weigh less than an Ed30 to the tune of at least 100kg and with a uni-chip, filter, full exhaust, they can make 230bhp and even then they are quick.

I had a 54 plate type r and on a dry day would easily stick with a gti up to 130,i think 0-100 type r is 16.5s,this is where the type r is quick caining it from standstill to 130 mph after that it starts slowing up, the one your freind raced must have had the supercharger upgrade giving it up to 300bhp.

Glad to hear it!! I have a so called mate that has been saying he leaves R32's standing all day long! Have not yet had the chance to meet him on the road yet... but rest assured he will be eating dust. Even more so if its wet!

I dont think I can make the first 3wks of April as staff have booked holidays... which means I am working pretty much flat out for that period. I am then on holiday for a week at the end of May... So its going to be tough!! I would like to go the track near York for some race driver training. You can take your own car and be shown exactly how you should be driving. So if anyone is up for that??

R32 - I just booked myself a day at the York track - 1/2 day skid pan followed by half day on the track in the GTI. Early birthday pressie - March 27th - so probably too early for you ?

All I've got to do now is break the news to swmbo when she gets back - car's in her name after all...
