JDM blob or v6 type r ?????
 
Which car would you go for a JDM blob or a v6 wrc v-limited type r and for what reason, please help :wonder:

Jdm blobeye no contest (assuming you're talking sti). Unless you only want it for 'classic status'

^^^^^^^^^+1, no contest. Unless you want/need the Scooby burble, of course.

Agreed...

Yes I'm talking about an sti, but why the blob and not the type r?

Depends what you wnat it for IMO.

If it is to be your every day car I would go for the JDM blob, if it is as a fun/weekend car then the Type R it is.

Just a better car all round. And that is a big compliment as the type r is the best of the classics - think the only classic I would have above the JDM blob is a 22B.

Twin scroll engine, stronger engines (fully revised over the open deck classic v6 car), stronger gearbox, clutch, brakes, better handling, A-DCCD unless you get a KL pov spec blob STI, refined and good fun :D (and I own one of each ;))

Tony:D

Jdm twin scroll sti would be plenty of fun at the weekend too.

I love the type r's but unless you can find one that's very special and has a newage engine etc then it's got to be the blob.

Think I need to have a drive in a jdm blob to see how it compares to my type r, I love it to bits, looks and drive of it but have always loved the blobeye also.

i say jdm blob but my05 if you can stretch to it. The improvements are worth it. Or get a spec c if just a weekend toy.

gmanwrx 02 October 2010 09:38 PM

It's an 05 plate im looking at, what changed on the 04 to the 05 ?

daz1968 02 October 2010 09:59 PM

wider track improved dccda larger hubs improved dash layout and interior believe a few engine differences as well as an improved intercooler. Sure someone on here will have all the details but i believe heads and cams are standardised to same as spec c as well.
