The largest Civic Type R club forum

Established in 2002 it brings together people from all over the world to discuss their one love of Type R's.

We all move on at some point, get some help from our members on what to buy next. Usually a monster V8 or second hand Lambo will suffice but usually the three letters M P S will be muttered......standard!

Have a go of a Hummer and you'll realise why they're now defunct! They're shocking.

I would go with something large engined for where he's going.

If the engine had LS stamped on it.........hell yeah!

F150 Raptor...




It's called a Raptor. That single fact makes it more awesome than any other car/truck.




Any car that comes with webbing straps to hold the suspension on when it breaks is a serious bit of kit! Want.

A friend has a Hummer for driving about London. He says they cant clamp him as the wheels are too big or something.

You still never did get round to confirming the bhp per ton ;) you need to stop dissapearing so quickly and stay by stu's side :salut:
Because you're starting the whole "my modded car is faster than your standard car" nonsense. Much like the "but you could by a 20 year old Ferrari for the price of a new Clio" comments that some people spout on car forums. Compare like to like or not at all. (BTW, an ECU flash with no other mods gets a safe 380-395bhp on an FQ330).

looks like a cracking motor to have, but i'm thinking i'll get something cheap to tide me over for the first couple of years anyway!

i'm basically there for 2 years minimum (as i have to pay back all the relocation money if i leave before that) so i think 2 years will be enough time to get my feet on the ground and see what i can afford!

To be honest, I'd be happy with a V8 Mustang open top. I hired a V6 at Xmas and that was properly pokey and I know the V8 is just superb. They also drop in value very quickly, so check some of them out.

If you want a 4x4 anything from GMC is pretty good to be honest, like the Yukon etc and again, they drop in value massively.
