Got owned by a Civic Type R :(

[alexmccabe]

Got rinsed by an '04 Civic Type R this morning. Not happy. Are they really quicker than the GTi's?

[john87]

Not standard, no. When I had my mk5 GTI, my friend had an FN2 (2009) type-R, and we were pretty much side-by-side until he missed 5th

Push the pedal on the right down just a little bit harder next time

What stage of mods you running, time to up the game  stage 2

[MAT ED30]

in a stock gti the type r would be up your arse if he can drive and know to keep it high up in the vtec zone   if had an induction kit and exhaust on it then would be about 215bhp maybe more.If down in the revs they are slow infact very slow no torque  :roll eye: at all i should know i have had a few of em

I am completely stock, and as was he. I can't recall if I was foot to the floor, but the ASP was off. He was just behind me until about 65, then he took off...

I know of a few NA ones that would beat stage 2 plus ED30's

[MAT ED30]

yeah me too nice hondata on and cams and a few other trick bits they do shift

VTEC JUST KICKED IN YO...had to do it.

How do you know the car was stock? I would expect them to be similar but a remap would address the issue.

Perhaps the car is down on power, split DV doesn't always throw a code.

I don't, and I don't even remember writing that I thought he was. hah, being ill sucks. Anyway, he looked and sounded stock. I have a Rev G DV that I replaced maybe 6 months ago...

[GTI5]

My G split so I've gone back to a D revision.

Get a remap .

[Karl_mac_]

Isn't that gen Civic considerably lighter than the Golf? That'll come into play once you both have proper traction.

Remap - Remap 

[Wardy91-ed30]

They are fairly nippy in n/a form if a few bits done to them. Forced induction them and they're a whole different ball game (obviously I know lol). But I wouldn't have said it would "rinse" a gti, pull a few car lengths probs of exhaust, cams ect. As said above, might give you motivation for a cheeky remap

Have a look on the R forum to see if anybody is posting they've just wiped a GTI?
