Well...
The JDM Civic Type R (FD) is supposed to be incredible. I believe it too, I've seen many test and I've been impressed with each one (for the most part).
Also, have any of you caught the recent Fifth Gear comparison of the 197 and the Cooper S works (forget the exact name of the 197 model but it's serious).
Both cars and cool and the fellas at 5th gear really put them through great tests.
Btw,
This is where you'll see Spoon's best FF yet!
FD Spoon Civic bumper to bumper with the super fast J's Racing S2K!!!
Oh, and the Top Setup EG6 from the American Touge contest on BM. 👍 That was a great car running the K20 in something like a '93 Civic!

Must suck being constantly in the shadows of your big AWD brother. Also must suck having to constantly tell people that it isn't the way cooler/better Quattro. The vanity tags must help though.
Sidenote - I gotta admit I didn't know that there was a FWD 80, but more importantly I didn't know it was a Giugiaro design.

I was just giving you a hard time. :tup:A lot of people first think quattro because of the kit. It doesnt suck telling people what it is. Most people really are curious about it because you dont see many people modding that version. It was done clean so it looks somewhat factory. Its An Audi Coupe GT but he swapped in a 10v turbo engine. It actually handles like a champ too. He also has a 4000 quattro with the same 10v turbo swap. The 4000 is a blast in the rain though. The coupe is faster due to drivetrain loss. It can hold its own.

Heh...Yugo. (I think) still neat project...sounds and runs pretty good for a modified Soviet Bloc motor.
