Honda CIVIC TYPE R (EP) '04This car is pretty intense. I find all Honda's are great to drive and need little tuning to push them from good to great. That's exactly what happened here. A lot of the problems were just too much power for such a little car. With some transmission adjustments and LSD tweaks you should have no problem blowing away the competition. Not always, but sometimes the tires can over spin and cause them to smoke when exiting a corner, but it only happens sometimes and if it does happen take that as a warning for you driving to aggressive. I was going to try to get rid of it completly, but the LSD is as low as I feel comfortable with. Any lower and the car just can't get the power right away everywhere else.
