Booked next month for Revo remap, should take it up to 250ish BHP.

IMO the golf feels faster, but I think that is because its delivery is smoother than the lump you got from the Vtec!  The chassis in the Golf is more forgiving (comfortable) than the Type R, but not quite so good in the bends.

You won't regret it if you get one!

Just what I wanted to hear! My civic is on 30mm abp springs which doesn't help.

Do you have any videos of yours currently?

Found a lovely red one so will see what happens Monday.

Some are from Ebay others from Bold Sport.  Suggest you use bold sport as I've had a few bits from them and they can be trusted no problem.  You can be eachswitch on its own or get the full set.

Looking good mate. Will keep an eye out for you in the Deen. Seeing the RNS makes me want one in mine. Just bought a pioneer avh2400 which is decent but prefer the look of the RNS!!!
