civic type r ??

[alex07980]

hello i might be going to straigh swap my astra 1.9 cdti 200 bhp soon for an ep3 ctr, i have heard great things about the type r but the only thing that is well sort of putting me off is the 111k miles, its on a 54 plate so i suppose it doesn't work out too bad but what do you guys think?

Anything i should look out for??

I sold my '54' plate civic type r on about 109k miles a few months back (is the one your are looking at Black and in the SE?)

Its a great car, does everything very well - relaxed/manic when you want it to be and I averaged 35mpg to boot!

Weak points are clutches - I had mine changed in the short time I had it - also drink a fair amount of oil so make sure that it's been topped up regularly/properly serviced.

Not necessarily so...

Go and look on the relevant CTR forums, every fault that has ever happened to EP3's (and FN2's) is endlessly documented.

thanks for the info guys,

i know this one has had new brakes, new clutch kit plus new engine mounts,

and it is in red with bits of carbon wrap.
