Did you notice how the "plastic" seat was wobbling and twisting around in the civic??

That was actually quite funny

Although perhaps not the way you intended

Give me my old DC2 Integra against an S3 any time, wet or dry, cross country.

Trouble is DD I think you have to own one or at least live with one for a few days to appreciate how it does what it does if you get my drift.

Sure most people on here leaping out of a turbocharged Impreza and jumping into a VTEC Honda would initially call them gutless etc.etc. Frankly driving a VTEC Honda fast is a different art to driving a turbocharged Subaru fast, not really any more difficult just different.

I also laugh at those on here who say once you've driven a turbo you can't go back to A VTEC. Well I have VTEC Hondas and a Scoob at my disposal and am happy driving any of them. I just adjust how I drive each car to suit its characteristics.

I like them all - they are just different.

The RR was / is owned by PCM who posts on here as Juggers. He imported the only one in the UK IMHO.

My wife has a DC5 HITR - awesome car & will stay with most Scoobs unless they've been modded with big power. It's the handling that keeps it there rather then BHP

It allways makes me laugh when people come on an slag honda VTEC off without ever actually driven one.

Now from a man who owns an EVO VI TME, MY05 STI PPP and a Integra DC2 I can tell you that the Teg gives the bigger smiles per mile. The sound of the engine and the handling are awesome; in fact when I jump in to the STI or EVO they just seem a bit dull in comparison!!

And that is why I sold my EVO 9GT (400bhp+) to go back to a DC2. More fun, simple as
