	Hi guys, First off, an apology. I know they aren't the most Retro of car, but they are getting on a bit now I'm narrowing down my daily hack/weekend fun car list and join top at the minute (with an Alfa 147) is the Civic Type R on the EP3 chassis. I've always loved them but never even really been close to one, let alone drove one. Just wondering what they are like in the real world to live with? I'm not too fussed about fuel as I won't be using it that much as I have a company van for day to day use, so what are they like for tuning? Thanks guys. I'll get some photos of cool ones up tomorrow as my BlackBerry really doesn't like RR for some reason.

	I had the white jdm version and at first loved it! But soon got tired of going to the petrol station every couple of days. Totally gutless under 6000rpm and I even had the vtec lowered to 5000rpm. There a driving car rather than a go to work every day car. Also gear change is nice when traveling at speed but a bit clunky and the clutch is heavy in traffic. Actually grew to hate the thing in the end lol. Uk ones are peanuts now though.

	They have good support for chassis tuning ie; coilovers, adjustable rear arms 'n' so on. Some (probably most) coilover kits require tie-rod adaptors due to the bracket being up on the strut, rather than down on the hub.
