I was always led to believe that the TypeS is Honda's Diesel version of the TypeR?
I test drove a friends TypeR, immediately I am struck about the differences in the handling, and the clutch (not to mention the noise but thats gonna be obvious!).
Im a bit annoyed... I do find the TypeS too soft now and the cluctch too spongy, annoyed enough that I might like to change the car...although the run about 27.6 compared to the runabout 37.6mpg differences arent to be sneezed at.
Can you swap out the suspension from the Type R to S?
I was impressed with the handling and remap will solve the power issues...
Anyone any other thoughts...why didnt Honda go further with the TypeS?
:worms:
bit gutted like...

seriously though no the cts 2.2 is no match for the ctr in standard form, whether it can ever be is subjective. Yes the suspension will swap over but i would recommend eibachs, camber bolts and a FRS instead you will be astonished with the difference! A remap will get you closer but not close enough although you could argue the MPG difference is worth it. Im still getting 37mpg with all my mods and its used as it should be
