The largest Civic Type R club forum

Established in 2002 it brings together people from all over the world to discuss their one love of Type R's.

We all move on at some point, get some help from our members on what to buy next. Usually a monster V8 or second hand Lambo will suffice but usually the three letters M P S will be muttered......standard!

Mate of mine has the 335d remapped by Emaps to 350bhp and 500lbft, best £300 he ever spent, the thing pulls like nothing I have ever been in including Evo's.
