Civic type R to have 240bhp
I popped down the honda garage the other day to put some oil in the bike. Got chatting to a sales guy. who said he has heard the new civic type r will be 240 bhp with a 2.4 engine. he also seems to think the s2000 will be getting more CC and be around 260bhp!
I am guessing what is probably going to happen is the 2.2 litre honda s2000 engine which is in the US S2000 will probably go into the Civic type R and wil be 240 bhp. I am guessing the same engine will be in the new s2000 but will have a higher rev limit giving 260 bhp
Which will be cool as when the misses finshed uni I am ordering a brand spanking new S2000

doubt they'd fit the us s2000 engine into a type-r - don't think that engine is i-vtec so it would be a step backwards for the civic even though it would have more horses.
the 2.2 s2000 engine is also shaped/fitted differenty (like ours) so it powers the rear wheels so may not fit in a civic?
all guesswork just now i guess - just need to wait and see what happens!

Hmmm, I think it looks like a Peugeot 206 from a side profile...
Why have car designers suddenly all settled on the idea there needs to be an almost continuous curve from the radiator grill to the top of the windscreen?
