Time to doff the PH cap and consider the legacy of arguably the best front-drive hot hatch ever.
There are two anniversaries for the Honda Civic. The most commemorative in terms of chronology is 50 years of continuous Civic production. That’s a long time in anyone’s book. Well done Honda. However, the most fabulous as far as PH is concerned, is 25 years of the Civic Type R. Half as long, maybe, but ten times as good.
As with most Type Rs – certainly those sold in the JDM – it came with a limited-slip differential and unique suspension components to push the driving experience to another level. And with this being the original, it’s hard not to have a special place set aside for the wonderful EK9. Their rarity in the UK has only added to the allure – and the price. Here’s one up forFinally, a Honda Civic Type R we could officially buy in the UK.
It also introduced a new chassis. This moved the fuel tank beneath the front seats to improve interior space, but in another retrograde step it ditched the double-wishbones at the rear in favour of a cheaper, simpler, torsion beam. To tame such feistiness in a front-drive car, Honda introduced its Dual Axis Strut Suspension paired with a limited-slip differential to counter the torque steer. It worked, but it also needed some serious brakes, so the FK2 came with 351mm Brembo discs at the front. Anyone who’s driven an FK2 at a track day will know what an accomplished thing it is, and it was also a highly effective Touring car, racking up titles around the world.
