the rear lights look better than the civics we get here.

anyways, I saw 6 euro CTR loaded on a truck this morning. 3 black, 3 red. I was drooling all over that I had to change my shirt after that.

The rear reminds me of the old VTi.

Dont be, because :


-Euro CTR has that back breaking rear torsion bar.. jittery ride.
-Euro CTR is 23 PS down on the JDM CTR, 1 PS down from the previous CTR, and less torque, if any to the EP9 that went before it.

I always like to think that the Euro side spent all their budget on the design of the car, then went "Shit, now we got no money to develop a more powerful engine" and just took the previous one and fiddled it a little, making torque accessible at a lower rev range, and put it in.

The Jap CTR is proven to be more hard and jittery then the Euro CTR. The Euro CTR is built more on comfort (nearly) and everyday driveability. Think about it this way. The Jap CTR is more racy and uncompromising while the Euro CTR looks more unique (to me) and comes with more equipment. Depends on what you are looking for.

For me. I'll choose the Jap CTR I mean who buys a Type R for comfort anyway?

I still think double wishbones IIRC is better for JDM. The single torsion bar is somewhat like a single girdle on a Mustang GT - doesnt sound good.

Personally for me - Jap CTR for the extra power and exhaust would be easier to mod if needed
