Nice cars, expensive clutch repairs though so watch out for that. Quickish and fun cant really go wrong with it if its tidy

I find that very hard to believe as they're 0-60 is 6.2 seconds standard. I was on castle combe race circuit a few weeks back, and a type R civic couldn't keep up. And my car's is standard apart from a massive K&N airfilter.
Was it the NASP or the Turbo? NASP i can understand.
Had the clutch done and the HG was changed at least 1000 miles ago. 51k on the clock and it runs like a dream. My best challenge so far was a 225 Audi TT. Guy couldn't shake me
They are quick. When i test drove it i just couldn't belive the power. Torque steer is a problem tohugh, but lowering will cure that.
