Bro's just got one, tis minter 2000 on a p/plate with 69k fhsh ...
Mucho u recon he paid - tis the lovely aubergine blacky purple colour (same as lad next door had )
It's such a nice car handles really really really well and is rapid 6.1 0-60 and just pulls after that 
Anyone ever had a go in one or been in one?

Nope this one is 6.1 to 60 std 212 bhp i'm 100% sure, anyone ever been in one will tell u I been in couple of cars that'll do 60 in 5ish and this don't feel far off, plus look in the back of evo they reckon it's the best handling fwd car u can buy (along with teg type r) and the lad next door used to get around the spiral (exit off local bypass which is like a circle) at 90 and my mate could just about get 75 round there

I think they are v.nice. Don't see too many about either. Just didn't realise they were that quick. These are the figures according to Parkers.
2.2 Type-R 4d 7.3
2.2 Type-R 4d (AC) 7.3
2.2 Type-R 4d (AC+Alarm) 7.3
2.2i TYPE-R 4d 2157/4 6.7
2.2i TYPE-R 4d (AC) 2157/4 6.7

According to parkers tho 
I got that 6.1 from evo which is a pretty trusted source imo, u need to rev the fcuk out of them to get full power (like any VTEC) but it's nice 2.2 motor b4 that aswell

Someone please correct me if i am wrong but am i right in thinking you cant have a SOHC engine with 16 valves. This is because it only has 1 cam, and with 16 valves you need 2 cams (1 for inlet and 1 for exhaust)?
