A mate has a new JDM type r 4 door saloon, its pure touring car lol, an absolutly amazing piece of kit.
It is only just slower than my 260bhp Classic WRX, I've played with so called PPP late model STI's and they where no contest i'm guessing due to there excessive weight.

 

I owned an EP3 Civic Type R for two years from new and kept the car standard. I was able to stay once rolling with a standard uk spec Subaru WRX, but really had to work the gears right to keep the car in the vtec zone. I found the handling and brakes to be excellent on twisty roads in dry conditions. I was happy and did think about modding until I was completly destroyed by a newage Subaru Sti.

 

Screw CTR's old or new. Get a DC2 Integra import and that will hump the **** out of CTR's. Handles like a god. Good LSD as standard.

 

I've tried to a bit of inter-marque diplomacy, like talking to a brick wall though!

 

I think you'll find the new JDM CTR (FD2) is way beyond the DC2. In fact, reviews compare it more to the NSX.

 

Aye all very good f you want to spen £20k. JDM DC2's are like £4k.

 

Cool, that should keep them all behind me.

 

Any chance of a link after all that?

 

Seconded. I want to read about what they're saying.

I give up!! They really aren't getting the point that it's easier to get up to license losing speeds without having to think about changing down in a 270bhp WRX. The WRX will be FAR more flexible in gear.
