Honda JDM
The Civic Type R of this generation was one of the most outstanding hot hatches out there. Its 1.6L motor was a high-revving VTEC perfection delivering 185 hp. That’s enough to push the 2,400-pound car to 60 mph in less than 7 seconds.
Acquiring numerous hardware touches from the famed Integra, the Honda Civic Type R EK9 gained a closed ratio gearbox and limited-slip diff and was much lighter compared with the standard model. Honda actually removed some of the sound deadening insulation and other luxuries to make it more suitable for track use.
When outfitted with Bridgestone Potenza tires, a 6-speed manual transmission, and Torsen limited-slip diff, the Honda S2000 quickly became one of the most outstanding sports cars of all time.
However, there was an even more powerful version produced from 1999-2003— the Honda JDM king called the S2000 F20C JDM. The engine made 247 hp at 8,300 rpm and 161 lb.-ft. of torque at 7,500 rpm. The main change compared with the American or European version was a compression ratio of 11.7:1 compared to the 11.1:1 ratio.
