The best things about the Type R are the performance capability, chassis balance, low maintenance cost, consumables are pretty cheap (besides tires and brake pads... because my track driving), timing chain instead of timing belt with basically nothing than oil changes and air filter changes that need to be done for the first 100k miles. Track driving warrants more frequent brake fluid changes (but I can do that annually before the start of track season because I use RF-650 Brake Fluid and that stuff is incredible and I was able to run it for the entire year. Are there faster track cars? absolutely... but can you take an FK8 throw some good tires & brakes on and still run with the best of them? ABSOLUTELY. I am only 2 seconds off the lap time of a Porsche GT3RS... a car that obviously cost ALOT more than mine and they are on Cup 2s with alot more power than me. I do have additional things planned like a roll bar and racing seat (mainly for safety)... but when I am done it will be like an OEM plus GT special. I have very mild aero mods planned, nothing flashy (the Type R already looks the part). Then I may consider additional cooling mods and more power... after that that's it.

I don’t even know why this guy even compared the “4 door family sedan” Civic Type R to the DC2 “2 door” Integra Type R. The DC2 is a legendary “2 door” as this car is another “family 4 door sedan” with a turbo engine in it. All these Civic fans are always comparing this 4 door family sedan to the Legendary, iconic Integra Type R. I wouldn’t even compare this car to the Acura RSX Type S. This 4 door family sedan has a turbo engine take out the turbo and it probably won’t even be that fast. I don’t see RSX Type S nor Integra Type R owners selling their cars nowadays. Civic Type R owners buy the car new and they’re already selling them. Goes to show Civic Type R sedans are not that hot. Even the new Supra is a sports car. The 4 door Civic Type R is “not a sports car”. I’ll be fair though the CTR looks pretty fast but that’s as fast as it’ll get as it’s another “4 "heavy" door family sedan” with a turbo engine. A Honda dealer tried to get me to trade my RSX Type S for one of their “4 door family sedans” and that only tells me that RSX and Integra cars are still that fucking hot! Civics are not. I wouldn't trade any RSX/Integra for this heavy "4 door family sedan" Civic Type R with a turbo engine in it.
