Is the Space Egg Type R really as bad as everyone says? It has the GOAT K20 in it, still looks modern considering this is a 20 year old design, whats not to love?

it's the wrong k20, it doesn't have 'bones and it looks like an egg
>>
>>28828900
What's wrong with the K20 in the FN2? Isn't it just that they lowered the vtec crossover point slightly?
>>
The interior of these cars are awesome, very driver focused and cockpit like, still holds up today. Fuck touch screens btw
>>
>>28828896
These are the same people calling 600hp Audis slow and can’t handle.
>>
Why does it look absolutely hideous
>>
>>28828940
I guess because it doesn't.
>>
>>28828896
Looks awesome, like a fit. Go buy one and enjoy. Give her a bit of TLC if you are buying one.
>>
>>28828896
it was panned for its torsion beam rear suspension

>>28828896
It's a bloated Fit with a K20.

And it's an uglyslowgay fag-wheel drive 4cylinderlet pikachu bullshit

>>28828999
But type r is also one of the fastest fag wheel drive cars

>>28828896
Such a divisive design. Some people hate it, other love it. I do like it.
>>
>>28828974
It does though. It's fucking ugly eggslop

>>28828996
It's a Japanese car retard, RHD is OG.
>>
>>28828984
Is that all that makes or breaks a car? Renault are lauded for their hot hatches and they're all beams
>>
>>28829040
It's bri'ish mate
>>
>>28829060
So, still RHD?
>>
>>28828900
Elaborate on what the "wrong K20" is

The EP3 was British built and is highly revered
>>
>>28829104
>ep3
>high revered
Where? Not here in the U.S. where they only came with a shitty K20 with only 160hp and a sub 7k rpm redline.
>>
>>28829104
Because in the EP3's case, only 1.5 out of those 3 points applied
>>
>>28829117
EP3 was ugly as sin
>>
>>28829116
The EP3 Type R is considered one of the best hot hatches of all time
>>
>>28829183
It's not even the best Civic Type R built in Swindon
>>
>>28829183
Again, here in the US the version we got was worse than a SVT Focus(ST170).

>>28829177
Nah. It's not a pretty car, but it's not offensively ugly. It just exists.
>>
>>28829266
No one gives a shite about a crappy SI, we're talking Type Rs
>>
>>28829247
You prefer the soulless turbo cars?
>>
>>28828900
>>28829076
It's got a K20Z4, not any of the 'eco' VTEC versions

Hang yourself.

Go away Moog.
>>28829287
NO-U
>>
>>28829285
Wait, the guy want it have have a slow eco version? I don't get it
>>
>>28829295
Answer the question
>>
>>28829284
>muh soul
Almost all of the beloved 90s Jap hero cars have turbos and yet no one calls them soulless. Calling turbo cars soulless is peak retardation.
>>
>>28829296
Did you have a stroke mid-post?
>>
>>28828896
I think if the honda badge was removed from the grillie and it had a wing that flowed with the rear body lines it'd look pretty slick and less egg like. Is it peak civic? No. Is it a good civic? Yeah I'd say so.
>>
>>28829309
The whole idea of Type R is natural aspirated, from the NSX R, to the Integra to the original EK9 Civic R. this is it's legacy

Mugen wing better?
>>
>>28829360
I don't hate it, but I don't love it.

It's better, but the third brakelight under the wing makes it weird. I think a wing that flows off the third brake light would he best.
>>
Amerifat here. Space egg rules, our MK8 was ugly as sin and we never got a Type R, only SI
Why can't us Amerifats ever admit when other markets get better cars than us?
>>
>>28829482
>Why can't us Amerifats ever admit when other markets get better cars than us?
No other market got the 6-6 accord. Cheaper than it's Acura TL/tsx counterparts with identical interiors and similar performance to the type-s trims + better fuel economy with an engine designed to run on regular. With a close ratio six speed, VTEC v6 and double wishbones on all four corners; it's basically a fwd nsx
>>
>>28829573
See, you can't admit it, you instead brag, like an American only knows how
>>
>>28828996
that's rad
>>
>>28828896
A really nice 2016 model with around 60k miles goes for €27k here. Feels adequate but I'm not sure. The blue with the R trim is a great look imo.
>>
>>28830076
Is it me or does that cockpit look cosy AF?
>>
>>28830091
Space egg wasn't made in 2016 ffs
>>
>>28828996
Why are all the controls backwards?
>>
>>28830103
its just the right amount of futuristic without being too greebly. love the curved screen.
>>
>>28830104
so 2015 then. what about the price tho?
>>
>>28828896
>still looks modern
it looks like a 20 year old car..
>>
>>28830091
theyre like 5k in the UK.. Don't pay that much lmao
>>
>>28830110
they stopped making the space egg in 2011
>>
>>28828900
>Wrong K20
Nope, full fat 200hp K20
>>
>>28830344
checked
my bad, the 4th gen still appeared egg like to me.
>>
Space Egg is the GOAT, haters are fucking deluded
>>
My 2.2 Diesel Space egg died last week at 252000 miles.

Feels bad man
>>
>>28830743
Clutch?
>>
To clear up confusion:
-In the US, our EP3 (that looks similar but is NOT the FN2) came with the K20a3 which is the "dud" K20 that doesn't have real vtec. I've had one in an RSX.
-The Type-R OP is discussing has a K20z4 which is quite good, K20a1 levels of good.
Still doesn't have wishbones, which were what made '90s Hondas great.
>>
>>28830748
>K20a1
God, apparently there IS a K20a1 that's an eco version.
I meant the "K20A" proper, the one in the Japanese Type-Rs.
>>
>>28830745
Gear box
Clutch was done at 190000, was the original too.
I had a Type S (yes poor mans R) petrol previously managed to get 220000 out of that before a bus reversed into it and wrote it off.
Solid cars.
>>
>>28830753
Yep very reliable cars indeed, especially the 1.8

The ride is hilariously firm though for an ecobox, especially on rough B roads
>>
>>28830221
5k for a Type R?
>>
>>28831116
Yes. You can get them much cheaper for higher mileage, like 3kish
>>
>>28829266
>in America we d-
Shut up you fat golem
>>
>>28829281
Are you retarded Anon? I asked where do you live that they're revered and explained EP3s suck here and aren't revered like you're claiming.
>>28831140
>inferiority complex hitting hard
Why are you so angry that I'm from a better country than you?
>>
>>28828896
I honestly think the Type S with the full glass bar is the best looking variant, but it doesn't have the K20.
>>
>>28828912
this looks like 1999 interior

Yes, they do. You're American and don't have Renaults, so how the fuck would you know?

I feel you. Mine is 245000Km and still going strong but I fear the day its gearbox will fail.
>>
>>28831432
No it doesn't. The previous Type R (EP3) had a very 90s interior though
>>
>>28831404
>better country than you?

Your country is on the brink of a civil war, and has a mad man in office who just sent another 6 billion to Israel for their genocide. Kek

I would gladly have either of those vs an iDashboard

Yet your country is too shitty and embarrassing to name in your post lol.

that shifter is comical

That's what she said.
>>
>>28828896
it looks like someone saw a fit and wanted in more areodynamic
>>
>>28831784
Everything says that until they try it, and then they realise it's the perfect placement. It's like a touring car, you barely move your hand from the wheel, it's right there. Driving perfection

>A honda looks like another Honda

Who woulda thunk it?

I don't doubt that, but man does it look silly
>>
These are better dailys than the EP3s, MUCH nicer interior and more features, and still the same great engine
>>
>>28832611
FN2 had a better head and transmission, EP3 the stronger block.
>>
>>28832685
Which engine is superior in your eyes? FN2 for stock and EP3 for tuning?
>>
>>28832842
K20A block, Z4 head, PNN3/4 trans

Not like you could point it out on a map if it was anything else than Italy.

Yes, that's how irrelevant you are.

No, it's how stupid you are.

*snail slurping, they also love white flags ;).

I used to own one. The engine makes a cool noise, the gearbox and pedals are nice but the suspension is way too hard. Mine was an early car that didn't come with an LSD, I think they all got them as standard after 2008
>>
im gonna buy one as my first car soon

Where was that implied? I simply replied to whoever replied to me Anon. Are you saying to replied for someone else like an offended woman?
>>
>>28833295
First car? the insurance will be mental mush
>>
I had a EP2 as dd for multiple years and also owned a FK2 for a while.

I dont care what people say, I think these cars look fantastic and they actually are made with a track in mind. The are racecars.
Proove: Civic and Racecar are both special words but I'm not telling.

Honestly though I wish the latest Type R wasn't so fucking expensive. I'm getting sick of all these regulations made by people who don't give a crap about cars.
>>
I really love type R's, but they're just so expensive for what they are.
