Hi Miggins,

You can do some timings if you like, however recent experience post remap tells me that the proof of the pudding is in the eating..... i.e as this weekend's poor Corrado VR6 & Audi A3 1.8t sorry ass driver's will contest.

It IS noticably quicker and PULLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLS harder and more progressively than most other similar sized vehicles.

1st and 2nd gears are too short to make it very quick off the mark though.

On a slightly different note, there's an ever increasing number of Civic owners who are having their cars remapped "behind the scenes" by Celtic Tuning. They're all having great fun, but want to stay out of the limelight, so that next time they pass you on the motorway & you can't catch up, you'll be wondering what the hell happenend!

At this point I think that I should give prior warning to any would be Type R buyers.... Why choose 2nd best?
