jd26 Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 Hey guys, New to the forums so though id say hello! From South Wales - currently driving a 53 plate ep3 civic type R.. Been in two minds latley, as im wanting to spend more cash on the civic but if I was to sell up and put that cash together I could go for one of my all time favourite cars (the Z of course ) Ive noticed im not the only one on here who currently owns a type R / would be coming from one so any advice folks? Should I expect a drastic difference in mpg as on paper there doesnt seem to be a huge difference. Cheers Josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jd26 Posted April 11, 2010 Author Share Posted April 11, 2010 Thanks for all the welcomes @ Nixy - is she alott more juicy? hard to tell on paper as real life is always different. Howd you find the difference in everything else i.e service costs, parts etc? thanks @ Nelly - this is the thingg, to get all the bits im after for the R ill be spending pretty much what it would cost to upgrade... so its pretty tempting - insurance is near enough identical, as is tax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
