    People, he could also be just getting mixed up with the Type S model.

    Its a 1.6 VTEC type r replica... I've been looking at on donedeal.
    ???????? Anyone care to elaborate?


    The word 'replica' is the important part. It'll have a bodykit and badges to make it look like the 2.0 type R model and thats it.

    Its just a standard civic so still a good, reliable and spacious car for its size IMO. The interior will be much plainer then an actual type R but still on par with equivalent focus/golf/corolla from the time.

    +1

    Theres 2 types of reps out there.
    1. The standard 1.4/1.6 with body kit etc
    2. The genuine Type S.
    The Type S gets type R steering wheel, half leather, different dash, different gear knob and the Type R kit is fitted from the factory. The only difference is the rear spoiler from the Type R wont fit the standard car for some reason, but it can be fitted if you shave down a few cm from the two corners.
