Re: BMW 530d driven by fat businessman

Re: civic ek9 type r

Is yours pretty much a factory fresh example then? I dont suppose theres much to be gained by fiddling around under the bonnet as theyre so well tuned as standard?

Re: civic ek9 type r

hi mate,
I slowed down at end for a chat but you shot off. Its a fantastic car mate and not many people would look up on forums for it so I take my hat off to you! 8) I would love one but prices are a bit steep for me specially with buying a new house and all!

Re: civic ek9 type r

to be fair i did let him but i thought when i came on boost in 3rd i would go past but that thing kept on revving!! ha ha. It always surprises me though what cars will stay with you on in gear acceleration. standing start maybe a different matter..
