Civic Type-R's

Hi all,

Well not been online for quite a while due to my other half's mum passing away unexpectedly a couple of weeks ago........ Things go on though and the missus has decided that now that her mum is no longer with us she is gonna get rid of the IS200 and probably get a Civic Type-R, (Her mum was disabled so the Type-R wasn't an option then). She'll be lookin' at gettin it at the end of this year / start of next year probably and will more than likely go for something like an 05 reg car rather than getting a brand spanker.

A couple of things i wanna know though from anybody who knows someone with one of the little beasties..............

1. Any good / reccomended CTR groups like uk-polos.net that we could join???

2. Does anybody know if the new / present facelifted cars have xenons or just halogens behind those jam-jar bottom lenses on the front??? (Still can't get over the fact that front fogs and air-con only seem to be options rather than standard!!!!!).

Anyhows any info would be appreciated

Cheers

Dave.

The facelift comes with Xenons.

I dont know of owners groups, but I do know there is one for the DC5 Integra Type R (Get one of them instead!!!!!!)

Hi Dave. My brother owns a 52 plate Type - R and its the dogs nads! Highly recommended by myself. Loved playing in it for the few days i was insured on it.

Any hows. I don't believe the new facelift one comes with xenons, think they're just halogens.

As for owners clubs, my brother is a member of www.civictype-r.co.uk. Its an extremely friendly and useful forum. Just like this one.

As for as i've heard, Honda revolutions forum is full of big headed people who don't give a damn if you don't know what your on about.

P.S Look into getting an Integra Type R. They're well nice and slightly faster than the Civic.

Thanks for the info guys................. I'm gonna confirm whether the car has Xenons or not when i go round to the local Honda dealer next week when i'm off work.... I'm also gonna ask how common air-con fitted examples are........ I've always liked the cars but the only thing worrying us is the seemingly low spec level when compared to other cars.... I mean a top of the range civic that doesn't get aircon as standard seems a little strange!!!

The missus don't like the integra's........ so it looks as though it'll be the civic..... Allthough if it's hard to find a 6-12month old example with front fogs and air-con then she may switch to something else..... or have to buy a new one which she didn't want to do.

Cheers

Dave.
