just wondering about everyone's experieces racing type r's. my mates have got all 3 shapes of civic type r between them and the only one i think is quicker than my standard 225 s3 is the ek9!
opinions?

you need a stage 1 map to make your S3 beat any of those 'in gear' IMO.....
Totaly agree there....Not really, ingear, the S3 is quicker with it's superior torque, TypeR's only come alive on cam when the VTEC kicks in, and they have short gearing to make use of the VTEC again for the next ratio when you change up at max revs. You need to know what you are doing to drive VTEC's quick, where as the S3 can be driven quickly as soon as you sit in it!
EK9 is a true TypeR, EP3 and FN2's are just TypeR in name, the GTI of Honda's!

I read the other day that the Audi A1 1.4 TFSI Petrol has a supercharger and a turbo charger and gets from 0-60 in 6.9s with a combined book mpg of 38 mpg, i was quite impressed
Ek9 is quicker to about 70mph than an Ep3 but from then onwards the Ek9 has no hope (asuming were talking stock motors)
I had an Ek3 with a JDM B16a swap running Spoon management & cams etc etc with about 220hp and after about 80mph my mates Ep3 running similar power just left me.
But off the lights you can get S3's off like a shot with no wheel slip and you'll get a good edge over pretty much most stock fwd motors.
The same mate has a supercharged Dc5 now running a smidge over 300hp and for the first 50 yards i'll be infront.
Depends how you're racing and the spec of the cars tbh, if it was a BAM engined S3 against a K20a2 CTR from a stand still i'd put my money on the S3, however a rolling start i'm almost certain the CTR would see it off..
