Angry Civic Type -R Modulo

Why is it not here ? I could do with out the graphics;however the rest of the car is sweet











Honda Access takes a perfectly good Civic Type R and applies the Modulo treatment, calling it the Honda Sport Modulo Type-R. This particular Type-R may look better in person, but judging by the photos, let's just say that it doesn't quite represent the pinnacle of Honda Access design. This Sport Modulo Type-R is shown with an upsized 225/35-19 wheel/tire package, a host of body tweaks, and a graphic package that tends to induce a gag reflex. On the plus side, the interior upgrades include an interesting update to the gauge cluster, reversing the positioning of the tachometer and speedo and replacing the CTR's steering wheel with an F1-inspired unit that is fitted with a multi-LED shift light. Recaro Racing buckets with full 4-point harnesses, several yards of carbon fibre (or cf-look?) trim, and "gutted" door panels complete the racy theme of the interior.



Please discuss...........

U-G-L-Y you ain't got no aliby you UGLY! No but on a serious note the car looks to busy and pointless. I do like the gauge cluster though.

Pointless ? Ok ...well I disagree;it's a show car 1st off and showcases the factory involvement with the tuner market.

Ok maybe not Pointless but definitely a step back from the original IMO.

I think that gauge cluster would only get uglier and uglier as it ages.... But it looks sweet right now. I think in 15 years it will look like what the old C4 vette dashes look like today.... Random i no what interior design has been on my mind from a previous thread.... Maybe if the colors where different it might help.

Anyone have any pics of the Modulo Accord? Leftlane's images don't appear for me.

GAWD! If Honda spent less time making crap like this over the past 10 year and more developing RWD, most enthusiast would probably start looking again.

Least of my concerns is its drive wheels. That thing makes an SRT-4 look beautiful.
