just be careful in the wet butuz, especially with your love of scoob killing, theres a reason chav scoob owners say, "I'd beat you in the Twisties"

BTW Butuz, Civics can't be considered fair fodder for a 200sx owner. You start with a minimum 33bhp power advantage over older models and a 3bhp and RWD traction vs the latest ones. Not to mention a wall of torque. They also cost a whole house load of cash to mod properly!

WHP is indeed an interesting and very telling statistic. The generic estimate is that a RWD will 15% power from fly to wheels while a 4WD will loose 25%. Even that seems optimistic on both counts but is entirely dependant on the state of the transmission.

Sorry, i only say that coz my mates got an 04 civic type r and he used to constantly brag about it and his ub3r job in order to pay for it. He doesnt brag to me no more, specially when i was picking him up last weekend and he saw a glow/flame in the wing mirror and proceeded to cream his pants

And thats my fault how? If a car is slow as standard, drives the wrong wheels, has less torque than an electric pencil sharpener, and costs a bomb to get an extra 50bhp out of, why buy it?

Old civics are fair fodder cos their light. My other mates got an N reg one that he's modded, and its pretty damn quick if a bit scrabbly. Mind you he has spend £2k on just a turbo.... crazy guy.

I'd say anything thats packing 200bhp odd, or cost considerably more £££ mine is fair fodder, its all about education education education - this is my lesson on what what value for money is all about

ah , but I spend even less than you and still show you a clean pair of heals

"educating" TT V6's is getting boring these days

**Howard** · 11-02-2005, 10:02 AM

Moby, tried any "proper" fast cars like Porsches, Ferraris, etc yet?

**Butuz** · 11-02-2005, 10:29 AM

Yeh but in an S13 i wouldnt have any where to put my pipe and slippers!

(oh and i'm not an 80's popup headlamp throwback like you mate)

I do have a client with a 911 GT

who utterly destroyed me

in my defence it was with a blowing turbo.....

lemme at him with the full 17psi again and he's mine

but I prefer a proper sports coupe to a old mans tourer

**Howard** · 11-02-2005, 10:41 AM

Try him again with your car working properly then

**Butuz** · 11-02-2005, 10:49 AM

Its not a proper sports coupe though - its a hatchback

Mines a proper coupe

saying that I' have a nice s14a spoiler to go on when I can afford to take my 80's throwback to the bodyshop

Where does mine fit in then, its not permanent 4x4, its a coupe, but its designed as a motorway cruiser...

**Moby-Dick** · 11-02-2005, 11:22 AM

Trig, you are just special

**[GSV]Trig** · 11-02-2005, 11:34 AM
