EK9/Civic
Finally after waking almost 6 months, I went to the port, to take my car home, i traveled 600 km total.

My civic type r, has 60,000 kilometers, it was in perfect condition.

In the boat, the advan rg wheels, and the original exaust system were taken away by thieves :mad:, also i dont know why the front and rear bumper has large scratches, i think my car hit another car while in the boat.

This is my sad story. I had to drive like 5 hours to take my car home. But right now is with me.

It was my first time driving a honda type r. And i'm in love now hahaha, it was exciting the drive feel of this cars its just incredible. The vtec point its at 6000 rpm, and it goes all the way to 9000 rpm, its awesome, i had a b16a engine on a eg6. But the way the vtec kicks in on a R its totally different.

The drive feel, its excellent, you're in control, right now my car has snow tires, but the car showed great stability.

I will post pictures as soon, as i fix the bumper scratches, and it needs a good cleaning! it has like 1 pound of dust lol.

I'm Happy because i have my car, but i'm sad because i lost advan rg and the bumper scratches, but i hope to get some money back from the shipping company.
 
Sorry about the problems you got! but you're now riding a honda type R! cheers mate!
 
aye sucks to hear of the theives - it often happens on imported cars to the uk as well :(

But glad your enjoying it :D

I know exactly what you mena by it being way diffrent to drive compared to the B16A2 - i used to own an EG6 myself, so driving the same car but with a B16B was a nice experiance :)
