The reason I post this is cuz I have an Si and my friend says the Type R is a completely diff animal... even though same top HP.

Lighter, diff gearing, diff suspension geometry :x

Your guys' thoughts?

 

Dude thats an euro ep3 R u might want to post it here https://honda-tech.com/zeroforum/32.

 

well i explained why i put it in here. hopefully some of you will find it new and be inspired how to drive the Si too :X

On a previous thread ppl were saying the type R in europe and japan were about the same as the Si...just the type R badges.

I think there's more to it than that though :x

I believe theres more then that to it then just badges. I dont know much but I believe that when honda makes a type r they dont just give it badges to make it look good, its a type r for a reason.

 

but i think some people are under the impression that it's just a different name...for a different country like Fit/Jazz

Like...they don't have the Si in europe or japan do they?

And they've never had a Type R civic here I believe :x

 

Just look at the DC5 Type S we have here and look at the Type R in japan. Not just badges complete different car.

 

so now that this post has been moved to the correct forum... what do all you Type R sharks think?

stock v. stock. can my Si do that as well as that type R thanks

 

wow i'm losing my mind, it hasn't been moved...

Go to the heritage link on the flash page. It gives the history behind the R badge and why Honda distinguishes it from other models.
