Golf R mk8 with downpipe, air intake and intercooler does 470 BHP at the crank on same 98 RON pump fuel, so like 380 to wheels based on guestimators? Every 2.0 turbo charged I4 does this.
> Total additional investment, parts, labor, tune, dyno was about $6k to maybe $6.5k. I think I paid right around $38k for it new, so for under $45k total, you’re not going to come close to it except with cars that break 6 figures.
Well we’re talking about FL5. And for that insane price I sure as fuck wouldn’t get a Civic, it’s insane paying that much money for a Civic, I’d rather get a used 718. Both prices are bonkers, but at least with one car I wouldn’t end up with FWD economy shitbox.
Lol, ok. I don’t know if you realize how childish you seem with you post. Anyone who claims a Type R is an “economy car shitbox” is not a reasonable person with whom you can have a reasonable adult conversation. You can appreciate the 718 as well as the engineering that went into the Type R to make one of the best cars out there. I’m going to bow out of this conversation, so i don’t get dragged down into stupidity. Take care.
Civic is an economy shit box. It’s not a high quality product, it had target price and good cooling was over that price. Deal with it, why is that hard?
