Civic Jordan

[daveg1]

just wanted to know what people think of civic jordans, i mite have a chance to buy one in about 6 months.

[James]

Nice cars man :), better than a vtr thats for sure lol

[daveg1]

yer goes without saying, i was thinking more how they compare to vts, i know the stats are close.

[mikey87saxo]

there ok my m8 have yellow one kitted up etc an they are quick bout same as a vtr prob bit more top end saxo floors it of the line

now he got civic coupe type r turbo

[Danr]

Very good cars. keep their value well :)

[kenny]

worth buying one as their super fun to drive.

if you have the extra cash then look for an ek9 :y:

same look but different extras and more power. the ek9 is the jap import version compared to the jordan being made for the uk market

[Robb]

I like them. Have a chinese mate, and all his (young side of the) family have civics/jordans. Some real tidy examples.

Will always hold there value due to only 500? being made...

[Tony]

I imagine they will be quite rare now due to limited numbers and a few being wrapped around trees.

I think it was mainly aesthetic changes over a standard VTi?

As said go for an EK9 or ITR?

[Chris_VTS]

I test drove 1 ages ago when I had my silver vts and it wasnt as quick as my vts.

[leeroybrown]

160 bhp
1.6 16v
Yellow
Lush yellow and black and interior
Only 500 made

Way less then that now

[stiffler69]

there ok my m8 have yellow one kitted up etc an they are quick bout same as a vtr prob bit more top end saxo floors it of the line

All jordans are yellow and they will more than likely wipe the floor with a vts and will pretty much put a vtr to shame without breaking a sweat

just wanted to know what people think of civic jordans, i mite have a chance to buy one in about 6 months.

love them, not as fast as the type r. And rare!

Expensive for what they are though.

Seen a minter with 22k go for over 7k a few month ago.

Dont think they are quicker then a VTS off the mark TBH



Why create this thread it just makes me want an EK9 again :(

[Chris_VTS]

They are not quicker than a vts, gaurenteed.

[stiffler69]

Where you driving it properly did you even actually get it into vtec they are a fair bit quicker than a standard vts mate

i can answer that.

Yes.

Chris used to have an EP3 aswel, now has a VTS, explain why chris :D

[Ferg]

I'd rather have an EK9 ...

[Steve]

I'd rather have an EK9 ...

snap :A:

[Saxo_Scott]

I'd rather have an EK9 ...

Same lol

that white one for sale on here is a minter!

[VtsTom]

Seen quite a few at santa pod. Not seen many of them break into the 14s. A vts can easily. You can argue shit driver but there was 3 different ones in one day, all with filters and exhausts, all running low 15 secs. I wasnt impressed

[Ocego_VTR]

very good cars imo, i would prefer one over a VTS due to VTEC and they are tuneable.

oh ok well my m8s must of been fuked then hahaha lol

i might ge one but if was going get civic i would save an find an ek9 deffo :P

[kcsaxo]

was going to get one but am opting for an ep3 civic. the ek's are lovely but getting too old for what money theyre asking, plus its more on insurance being imports.

[VTR-98]

my mate has just bought an integra DC2 after owning an Ek9. Says the Ek9 is faster than the teg. And his Ek9 wiped the floor with my vts. And tbh to 80 my celica was struggling.

[daveg1]

ek9 is a bit over the top on insurance, and my one i might buy is in mint condition

[wrighty89]

my mate has a yellow ek9 type r, mint car, jordan is close enough lol

[Jazz]

VTi Jordan's are nice, a little flat lower end but like all VTEC's give them a thrashing. Hard to find versions with lower miles..

[Dazza1]

Nice car mate, gud luck if you do get one:y:.

[Roj]

theres one around here, its lussshhh. would love to have one some day. shame they made so few, and i wonder how many are still on the road today

[Jackman]

I love these!

[stu-n-shell]

get an ek9 there as rare as rocking horse shit.i asked the importer to find me one before i got the scoob but they said no cause itd be a while till they got one.

[Jackman]

Group 20 on insurance though ain't they?

No thank you.

[stu-n-shell]

yeah but id love one. mind you id love a few cars another 205 being one of them

[girlracer1597]

would love a Jordan civic due to the fact i was a massive Jordan fan when they were racing, i could put my coat on and blend into the interior lol

[Jazz]

EK9 CTR- very nearly got one before the Accord but the insurance companies wouldn't talk to me as it was an import. I was actually speaking to the import company and getting shipping organised for a std white one for 5k, but then found out I couldn't insure the bloody thing, so sadly EK9 didn't happen.

Went for the Accord and looking back I'm glad I did, better alrounder tbh.

[Jackman]

yeah but id love one. mind you id love a few cars another 205 being one of them

Yes there is plenty of cars i would like, but insurance won't allow.

EK9 is in the same insurance bracket as a Escort Cossie if i remember. much rather the cossie!

[stu-n-shell]

yeah if you had the money youd need a huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugggggggggggggggggg ggggggeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee garage to store all the cars

[ScottyD-VTS]

I Sold My Saxo VTS and bought a Civic Jordan, amazing car would have it over the Saxo any day of the week, alot more comfortable, turns heads and they are much rarer than an Ek9 only 500 Jordans ever made as opposed to the thousands of EK9. Dont get me wrong EK9 is on another level to the Jordan. VTEC alone is a reason to buy 1.

Heres Pictures of My Jordan

[Jackman]

In all honesty.

They tempt me.

and i hate JC.

[Chris_VTS]

Of course I hit VTEC. The Jordan is 2 heavy for what it is and u have to thrash em to get em movin. And as Steve said, I had an EP3 Civic Type R, and sold it as its not as much fun as a VTS, and not as quick point to point, never mind the handling issues. Only type r or civic i would have now is the EK9.

Honda or Citreon?

Honda Everytime

[Mieran]

Civic >>> VTS.

I rather have the Jordan instead of the EK9 though.

[maddison_vts]

don't really know an awful lot about hondas apart from their lack of torque, but i've never really thought much of them as i can beat the ep3 and the ek9 in my vts.
i did use nitrous against the ek9 though.

would still rather buy a saxo for a few grand and stick a nos kit on it for £300 rather than buy an ek9 for 6k which is what the guy i raced paid for his.

[Stuartvts]

I heard that civic jordans and saxos are fairly similar power wise but the jordans are heavier so would be slower than the vts, never actually checked the figures so may be wrong :s

you got any plans for yours.

[ScottyD-VTS]

you got any plans for yours.

Yea usual lowered wheels filter exhaust then thats about it considering trading it in for an Integra Type R

[Ocego_VTR]

just leave it standard then trade it in wouldnt that be easier?

[Stuartvts]

Like has been said though civics perform best when in vtec which means revving the nuts off all the time, but vtec is bullet proof where as citroen is french nuff said

[ScottyD-VTS]

just leave it standard then trade it in wouldnt that be easier?

Yea thats what i meant considering trading it in b4 i modify it

[Ocego_VTR]

hmmm dc2 i assume i would but your insurance will be through the roof wont it.

[ScottyD-VTS]

hmmm dc2 i assume i would but your insurance will be through the roof wont it.

More than likely m8

[Mieran]

If a VTS was racing a Civic wouldn't it have to be in high revs to stand a chance? Well same thing applies to the Civic, just because they are more powerful it doesn't mean they can win in 3000 RPM.

I haven't drove a VTS before but from what I gather people from here say that the power kicks in after 4500 RPM which is pretty much similar to a Civic.

[Ocego_VTR]

More than likely m8

hmmm UK or jdm?

[VTR-98]

hmmm dc2 i assume i would but your insurance will be through the roof wont it.

DC2 i think are group 18...not as fast as a Ek9 but less of a boy racer look compared to the 9.

Either way if your under 20 with no, no claims you will be looking at 2k+ for anything over a grop 14 depending on area.

I pay £2700 tpf&t. Next year when i am 21 and have a years no claims i am looking at £1400-£1900. My mate who just got his DC has just retook his test after beuing banned. But he is 20 with no, no claims and down as driving for 7 days or something like that and he is paying £450 a month tpf&t.

[leeroybrown]

Depends on what model you actually get

DC2 uk version is something like a group 17

DC2 imported version is a group 20

Same goes for a DC5

[Pat_Vts]

he is paying £450 a month tpf&t.

is he thick as f**k? or got too much money for his own good?

fuck no im paying more than i am now

given up with cars, life shall be easier now tbh that im not driving, fuck this shit rather have dough in bank for a house or something:y:

[VTR-98]

He likes the street cred i think lol. Saying that he is considering getting a supra or an Evo 6 and selling the Dc2. And no hes not made of cash on 26k a year.


http://www.parkers.co.uk/cars/specs/Detail.aspx?deriv=14334

Group 18....his is the import so he will be paying more purely because its an import. But i dont think insurance groups change weather its an import or not, you just get charged more.

[ScottyD-VTS]

DC2 i think are group 18...not as fast as a Ek9 but


Lies DC2 ( Integra Type R has a B18CR) Engine so its a 1.8 VTEC. Where as an EK9 has a (B16B) 1.6VTEC So much more quicker than an EK9 :afro:

still silly...

im not paying more than i am now and if i get bummed im just going to sell the vts and cycle instead or drive a 1.2

who cares about street cred when your mate has a pimping y0 motor that you can hang out in;)

? Ek9 is faster mate, end of. Might not do 145 but will get down the quarter quicker.

[ScottyD-VTS]

What you on about mate?


My Mate has done nearly 160 in his ek9 downhill private road

An Integra Type R Will be quicker than a Civic Type R End of

[Mieran]

Sweeeeeeeeeet.

[chapperlin]

Jordan is the better car but its slightly off the pace of a vts.

local 1/4 mile day a couple of years ago there was a Jordan running mid to high 15's. In my vts i was consistently running very low 15's.

[Jazz]

EK9 is not quicker than DC2. And despite what the speedo says, a standard EK9 won't do anything near 160 'real speed'. Its still only a 1.6 N/A. Anything near 140mph would be a massive achievement with that tiny engine.

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=hKF950JjHZw

[Jackman]

I was always under the imperssion that a DC2 was a much better car!

[LVC_VTR]

do it mate their really great cars my mates got one and they fly :)

[Jazz]

I was always under the imperssion that a DC2 was a much better car!

There is a misconception that the EK9 is better than the DC2. This is not true, otherwise Honda wouldn't have bothered make the DC2 lol.

Its just that the EK9 is certainly the most impressive N/A 1600 production hatch performance wise.

[Jackman]

I personally prefer the DC2.

I tried to get insurance for one come February. OHHH NO.

Maybe in another year!

[Jazz]

Finally embracing JC Jackman? I doubt the Pug-tribe would appreciate you sleeping with the enemy ;)

There is very FEW JC i would consider.

I basically want a Road Car.

205 isn't going anywhere!

Something calls out to me.

[Ocego_VTR]

DC2 is faster than a EK9 there proof on youtube the only way a EK9 is faster is round tight corners round a track.

[VTR-98]

My mate has had both and currently has a DC2, I think he should know. both have been JDM so have higher BHP than the uk versions.

And who ever said 160 in a Ek9, are you having a laugh. Most 2 litre turbo cars dont get near that. But the Ek9 has the best power to weight ratio out of an standard car i think....

[kcsaxo]

that dc2 is sweet, only thing that puts me off those cars is the galaxy-mileage they have all done. despite good engines the chassis and all the rest will be worn by now.

[VTR-98]

Thats why you buy a JDM. There wont be any rust and most have very low miles. i.e 60k and on that engine its nothing.

Im starting to really hate you for your lack of Jap Car knowledge.

The Ek9 Civic is 185bhp from a 1.6 VTEC

MY EK4 VTI-S Jordan is 160BHP (158 if youre being picky)

I Think your Mate problably knows about as much as you on the Jap Car Front.

[joey_ivy]

there nice cars, my mates got a mint standard one, i think there a bit over rated though and there expensive for what they are, i know there rare but still expensive considering you can buy a civic vti which is the same apart from colour, leather interior, wheels and a few other bits, for around 2500-3000plus.
