Tw**t in a Civic Type R
- Thread starter z4alfie
- Start date
i'm calling them this morning, ill let you know mateHad the car into the dealership today as i cant solve the wheel alignment problem. Car still pulled to the left despite paying thirty quid to have the allignment done at an Indy. Cooper Sunderland diagnosed the front suspension bushes were knackered as a result of the impact. They would not replace one side without the other. Both replaced under the extended warranty as they said they looked worn anyway. Phew! Now to get the rims refurbished and ill be sorted. Somehow the car seems to drive much better than it did before... tighter in the corners. Now to hunt down the Type R driver and take sweet sweet revenge :x

I would be more interested in finding the waste of space driving the Focus the lad is a young boy racer not judging things correctly but what she did is far worse she should have lifted or braked not put her foot down :x :x
Done well getting Stealers to sort it under warranty

Seems easier to be annoyed at the idiot that was on my side of the road perhaps I expected the woman driver to be some sort of numbnut
. Stereotypes are much easier to abide by than logic.

I had a blast with a Civic Type R when I had my 3.0SE Z4. My car was standard.
I couldn't pull from him....he couldn't catch me. Speed went from around 35mph up to around 85 then we both backed off.
Honda Civic Type R has 198bhp...and probably weighs a bit less than a 3.0 Z4.
I have no idea if the Civic was modded but it was as quick as my unmodded Z4
Civic Type R's (the EP3 one) weighs in around 1240kgs IIRC, so a good 100kg or so lighter than a 3.0i Z4 but obviously got a 30bhp deficit. Not a great difference apart from the massive difference in torque - the Z4 would trounce a Type R if he was caught napping, no need to drop 5 gears...
Type R drivers sometimes get it wrong - 3m30s in, utter fecking idiot:

Oh, and see if anyone recognises the Z4 in the earlier part of the video - I do

that's just crazy, what that Type-R was doing. Can't believe the driver was doing that speed on a damp surface. Were driver and / or passengers okay? Where was that?

Where was that?Crumbs... and I was worried about posting the Wales footage. That's some nob head driving right there. Thinking I'll be sticking with forum meets.
There's only one pre-facelift silver Z with M wheels I can think of :?

Apparently all OK. I've got nothing to do with the forum that run took place from - I was sent the link by a mate and thought it was worth posting on here. Absolute lunacy, driving like that with the conditions as they appeared to be.Oakandacorns said:A11Y - :!:

This was the driver afterwards, apparently (utter tw*t if so smiling like that :wkr
