dont think there'd be much difference!!!
type r will be a bit more ...... to insure
but better car allround

To be honest you have to rev the nuts off them so a EK9 will be faster than a sir, but its like our house..............theres nowt in it!!
EK9 type Rs are mostly white. They are available in black, silver and yellow but are rare.
I am selling a mint black EK9 type R as I am now going to do lots of miles with my job.
As for Jordans, I had number 1, it was presented to Eddy Jordan. Its numb in comparison to an EK9.

Dont buy a Jordan. Its basically a VTI With yellow seats and a badge!
If it were me, id be buying an older EG SIR Civic, reasonably quick, reliable and has quite good potential. Remember, they handle well too mate!
Dont be tricked buy some of the 1500cc VTEC's which are sohc engines, defenetly go for a DOHC!
If he can afford it, go for the EK9 Type R, i know a fella who had one, was the dugs baws!

I find insurance for a EK9 easier than the Glanza.
Admiral or Elephant both list it as a Civic Vtec R. They wont insure a Glanza only a GT!!
I only pay about £240 fully comp.
Absolute ballox.
Sky is the limit. Stick a turbo on it for a start, readily available kits for these too.

Deano....... Sorry bud but you say the same thing every time...
No torque so cant do good 60 times?? You rev off the line at 5K and shift to 2nd gear hard and see what happens.... Will easily do 6 secs flats, 5.7 with optimum launch.....
Got mine dynod today and down a bit, made 170BHP..... Not sure why but hay... Will get mani/decat etc for it and use as some fun.......

Over here yes it is very hard to insure a type r civic. A friend of mine bought one and was told by the insurance company (Quinn) that that they wouldn't quote him until he was 25. So it's now "insured" as a standard 1.6civic :homer:
Shop around for insurance before you make any decisions on what car to get.

That is all they make. I was at a rolling road day in Letterkenny and a Type R Civic and Type R Accord DC2 both made around that figure. Both questioned it but the guy at the dyno said that is all they usually make and even ran them again and they made the same figure.

Dan you dont have to own both to be able to make a comment. Ive driven a standard ITR DC2 and was very disappointed with it. There are many people who buy hondas and other cars for that matter and then come back to Starlets, its down to personal preference.
There is no denying that the EK9 and the DC etc are very well built motors but personally I wouldnt touch one as they dont really do anything for me - its a personal choice.
Also to compare a starlet to the civic or the Integra for handling and general feel is like comparing the civic or integra to an evo... the evo is a more advanced car chasis wise and handling technology is very advanced. I could put my hand in my pocket today and get one but they really do not interest me which is why I am on a toyotagtturbo.com forum
The next car for me will be a supra and regardless of what people say about there being better cars out there for the money... Ive driven one and it made a starlet and a civic feel like a smart car. If you have deep enough pockets you can have whatever power and handling you want but the "this car is better than that car" arguement is a bit silly because if you go on you tube you will see civics flying past supras and supras flying passed ferraris etc.. respect all is what I say. And I would be hesitant to big my car up too much before I got it on the track because there are some fairly ferocious starlets on this site and more importantly in my opinion... very good drivers.

Should have made myself clear. Without going the turbo route I ment, and yes they make good power with the turbo kits. Saw a civic recently make 206bhp@0.6 bar.

I dont understand where your going with that.
Original question was what is a Sir like? I dont know why people have to say how much faster their Starlets are. Whopee doo.
If you want a fast good handling car buy an EVO, yeh but a decent one is the 6 onwards and they cost about £9000 plus so its not an option when your on a budget.
I agree with your personal preference bith though
