First of all, previous Civic Type-R's were hatches to begin with. I have no idea why you're suprised about it being a hatch. The new Si, is also a hatch, so its LIKE the Si, not UNLIKE as you stated. The CURRENT EP3 Type-R's are in fact NOT turbo charged, Honda has never, and most likely will never used forced induction in their vehicles. They are equipped with K20's netting 200hp @ 7400rpm. A new Civic Type-R will not be released any time soon.

how can i speak proper english :screwy: !!!! u probably meant to writte proper english so it seems like u or yall need to learn how to express yalls selfs :loser: and besides i'm not in school no more so fuck all yall :evillol: !!! but getting back to the point, what i meant was that i read that honda was bringing the type R here to the states and that it was gonna be a hatch but not like the civic si! it was gonna be reshape cause the si sales haven't been good for honda. i love honda but in my opinion the civic si looks like shit. i also heard that honda was negotiating a deal with jackson racing or greddy to make the honda type r with real power. so what the fuck did you morrans didn't understand. i just wanted to know how true do yall think this is? and for the k20a is a torqueless piece of shit. :screwy: every honda out there has force induction cause hondas don't have the power in stock form. and yes i know about the lsvteck but to high compressions. yall fools think i don't know what i'm talking about! think again. you guys are probably the type of idiots who put a little sticker on their hondas n think yall gain 50hp to the wheel :lol2: or yall put a muffler from the corner shop and yall think yall flying :lol: well sorry if i hurt yalls feelings but i'll be waiting for yalls replies :sunglasse

I live in mobile, Alabama. About as south as you can go and i speak english fine, and trust me i'm nowhere near as bad of a speaker as this guy is. I thought he was jus tryin to be funny but i feel sorry for him if he really talks like that. Oh yeh and if you think hondas are pos with no power then tell that to the camaro i ran yesterday in my prelude, guess they're slow pieces of s**t too. Anywaysa thatsa bout alls i gosta seys, laters.

blueaccord19:
i got a causing who stays in mobile alabama and he was very surprise when he came to Htown to see what a honda should looked like and he also said that in alabama fools put stickers on their hondas and think they can fly. your were racing a camaro when the camaro was just crusing. thats funny! just wondering what prelude you have and what have you done to it cause as to my knowledge there are no high performance shops out there you have to drive to florida.lol

blueaccord19
05-08-2004, 12:38 AM
Ok first gimme a second to interpret your illiteracy....ok. About the putting stickers all over hondas, people do that kinda crap everywhere on all kinds of cars, and not just here in alabama, guess ur causing (cousin in educated people vocabulary) has never been out of alabama to realize that. Also i have a 99 prelude i just got and right now it is stock besides a cold air intake. The camaro was just a regular camaro, not a Z28 or SS of course, but for the money i would pay for a fast american car, I could buy a honda and mod it out enough to wipe the street with a domestic.

blueaccord19
05-08-2004, 12:41 AM
Also yeh actually we do have plenty of shops to get performance parts...but i get my stuff online anyway cuz its alot cheaper.

05-08-2004, 01:39 AM
yeeeeehawwww!!! we all gunna go out back an gun us down some dinna!.... please... if you come looking for decent replies.. make a decent thread, and try and speak REAL english.

people everywhere cover their car in decals and vynl to make their cars look 'fast' all the people who are really into making their car a performance machine know that you shouldn't be able to tell the difference between the stock car and the modded car except lowering.. rims, and maybe an exhaust.. those are the car's that will blow your doors off.

05-08-2004, 01:51 AM
Ok KIDS: Learn from JCCR...stay in school! or else you will be talking like a retarded homeless person with a 3rd grade edumacation. Hey delirious what kinda short shifter u got? Does it really help out a lot as far as racing goes?

blueaccord19
05-08-2004, 01:53 AM
i meant to say where did you get ur short shift kit and for how much? And is it good quality?

DeleriousZ
05-08-2004, 02:05 AM
i got it offa ebay.. from "Cosmo Racing" like 8 or 9 months ago or something.. it's worked well since i got it so the quality seems fine to me... it's nice that it fits the stock knob if i wanted to have that on there.
got it for $60 like i said from ebay... i don't feel it's really worth dropping the big cash for a brand name kit. this one was cheap.. works great... looks nice. that's good enough for me. i was actually amazed at how much it really shortened the shift throw once i got it installed.. even my buddy that owns an rx-7 commented on how short the throw was.. couldn't stop movin the damn thing around.. i was like dude! stop playing with my knob!! he stopped doin it real quick after i said that :lol:
yeah the only thing that's keeping my shifts from being almost as fast as an auto are my feet, and i'm gettin better at that.. shifter gives you a much better feel of your transmission and gearing and such. wow i gotta stop babbling..

blueaccord19
05-08-2004, 02:30 AM
nah it's cool, thats all the info i was wondering cuz i've never driven a car with a short shifter so wasn't really sure how much it helped. Usually my feet are faster than my hand and i miss 2nd or 3rd so i guess thats what i need.

Somebody make me a mod already PLEASE!! (bleh..i doubt thats happening anytime soon :p )

But seriously, to the mods, question has been answered, please close this thread.

DeleriousZ
05-08-2004, 03:04 AM
yeah, i think most of those type of questions should be kept to PM's.. but meh it happens.. i bet you half of all the threads on here with multiple pages ended on a different or off topic.. topic :rolleyes: seems to be the way of it with us honda folk:p

05-08-2004, 12:11 PM
Okay basically, this guy is a somplete MORON that CANT SPEAK NOR TYPE in a enduacated manor, which means he doesnt even need to be working on Late model vehicles !! And he wants to talk and argue about stupid pointless shit after his question had already been answered !! This thread needs to be locked !!!!!

or thees threadd need be luckd so he can understand

i hope i'm giving yall dumb fucks a hard time!!!lol. and for the short shifter question, yes it makes a difference. so bluaccord19 get one, it makes a difference and if you want to know what it feels like go to a honda dealer if they have one in hillvill and test drive the S2000. damn, this thread was something else. i'll tell you! yall who criticize are worse than a pair of bitches. i just asked a simple? while i was drunk or should i type it in, question so yall dumb fucks can understand. but anyways i asked a ? and yall attack me criticizing. damn, thats cool blooded but who gives a fuck. as far us i know by reading yalls thread most of yall don't even type( yes type not writte fuckers like some of yall mention. i can't writte on my computer can i ) properly either so like i said who gives a fuck :lol: and by the way blueaccord19 you must be a dumb fuck to miss 2nd and 3rd. you must be a rookie driver. just wondering if your prelude is 5sp cause if it is damn!!! you're probably messing up your trany allready but yeah it happends to rookies don't feel bad. and about the camaro like i said your sticker didn't help it just made your car heavier!lol cause a stock camaro( not the z28 or ss) has 200hp @ 5200rpms while you have 200hp @ 7000rpms do you understand my english bitch and torque for the camaro is 225 lbs @ 4000 rpms while yours is torqueless,156 @ 5500rpms so how in the fuck did you do it? the camaros hp and torque kicks in way before yours and don't bull shit me about the weight cause the prelude weights about 3000lbs and the camaro weights 3300lbs. like i said before you were racing the camaro while the camaro was just crusing.

signal748, now that i think about it yeah the prelude might be faster in the 1/4 mile from a stopping point but not while racing when cars are in motion. specially if blueaccord has trouble with 2nd and 3rd gears

Torque multiplication factor is the Camaro killer here. JCCR, keep the language down.

SiGNAL748
05-09-2004, 02:56 AM
what makes you think the camaro would be any faster from a roll? if you read my previous post again carefully, it is in fact SLOWER.

0-60: 7.7
5-60. 8.2

and AcesHigh is 100% correct.

hey, is it possible to put a 2.2 L v-tec in a 2000 model civic coupe and what modifications would i have to do to fit one in>>>

SiGNAL748
05-09-2004, 03:13 AM
Yes its possible. You're gonna need mounts from Hasport (http://www.hasport.com) , you're also gonna want to upgrade your suspension, and probably your axles.

wow there is a whole lot of thread jacking going on here, not that it is a bad thing because this jccr fool is a moron. for someone who thinks they know so much about cars you really have an interesting way of showing it. saying that honda is changing the body shape of the Si, that the type r is coming to america, and that it will be turbocharged, and that the k20 is a torqueless piece of crap. honda will never make deals with greddy or garret and will never turbo a type r. the Si will not be changed just because you say its not selling well (when in fact it is doing its job quite well). and the k20 is argueably one of the best engines honda has produced. it has gobs of low end torque and a lot of potential as far as tuning goes. so get out of here before i pimp slap you

The current second generation Honda Civic Type-R is built at Honda's Swindon factory in the United Kingdom, and exported to other countries, including Japan. It is the same factory that builds the Civic Si.
The front-wheel-drive Type-R Civic only comes in three-door hatchback form, same as the Si, but the Type-R has stiffer body with front and rear bracing struts, and comes standard with a complete "ground effects" kit, rear spoiler, mesh grille, lower suspension and 17 inch wheels. The interior is fitted with Alcantara-trimmed sports seats, a metallic-trim center console and a rally-style six-speed manual shifter. Luxuries are kept at a minimum, with only power windows, remote power door locks and a CD player. No GPS navigation, no heated seats and no other such niceties are offered, not even as options.
The Type-R is powered by the new i-VTEC 4 cylinder engine, similar to the 200 hp Acura RSX Type-S engine, but different from the 160 hp Civic Si powerplant. The i-VTEC unit provides for smoother power delivery, unlike older VTEC engines which gave a sudden boost at a certain rpm. Like all Honda engines, the Type-R's 197 hp engine provides most of its power in the higher rev range and is characteristically short on torque, with a peak torque figure of only 145 lb-ft, with barely anything available in the lower rev range. The six-speed close-ratio gearbox handles the power delivery. The car is built on a modified version of the current four-door Civic, meaning MacPherson strut suspension up front and double wishbones at the rear. The change from four-wheel double wishbones has noticeably hurt the handling dynamics of the Civic sedan, but it is less apparent in the highly-tuned Type-R. Large four-wheel disc brakes, vented at the front, offer decent braking performance, with ABS and EBD (Electronic Brake force Distribution) being standard features. The 17 inch alloy wheels are wrapped with ultra low profile 205/45R17 tyres.
The Civic Type-R has been on sale in Europe, Japan and some Middle Eastern countries for more than a year now. Rumor has it that the car will be offered in 2004 , although American Honda has been tight-lipped about any such plans.
