new to site but love honda's.
seen the new type-r five door and have contacted honda uk,ask about if being placed on the uk market but still no positive response.
loved the japanese site but not able to read japanese.
i live on a small island called the isle of man.
You could just wait a few years and get a used engine imported over, but otherwise you'll have to get the parts honda used, or at least get ready to lay down some dough, increasing power without resorting to forced induction is costly.
the type r (jdm) has about almost 20lbs of torque and a little more than 20hp so i guess a free flowing exhaust, headers, a valve job, new camshafts, new pistons etc. would be in order and that would at least get you on your way. You could proably find the actuall components yourself, but anything jdm in this vein is a long wait and costly.
Although I'm looking at a new header, CAI, and reflash...
(no fat teenage exhaust, thank you.)
headers are nice for torque, something that most honda's need.
