On my way to work and the above was behind me obviously wanting a play. Had a heavy night so wasnt in the mood. Anyone come up against one?? And what was the outcome. To be honest i do quite like them, Think i would miss mine tho.Oh and ive got an 03sti ppp.

Someone I work with used to have a Civic Type R and we met on the way home along the Chester high road. It was at the last set of traffic lights before Neston with clear road ahead so a good chance to compare car performance. It was comical, well for me anyway. Must have pulled out about a 5-6 car length advantage on him up to about the speed limit (60mph) then I backed off and let him go past. The roads were dry so a fair test I thought

Hi daz hope all is well. That pretty much answers my question then. Allways been tempted to buy one but i think i would miss the performance side of mine too much

Hi dan, thanks all is good ta and hows things with you. Suerely you're not in work today. I did have a look at the CTR a while ago but found the steering had a very vague light feel to it so you couldn't feel the car on the road like you should be able to. The engine had more torque than the earlier Honda's but you still had the rev it to over 5000rpm to get the max performance out of it. Also in the wet was a pig to drive as the front wheels would spin far to easy. For less money I got my Classic Impreza and haven't looked back on my choice

The brother in law used to have an ATR didnt like it.
Unless u keep it over 5k rpm it was gutless i dont see the draw of them to be honest.
Loads of power at 7500 rpm but no torque to get u there.
My old 330d BMW used to eat it
I wouldnt bother with one.l

Most of my friends have owned a type r of some description. The best i think is the integra type r, must have been one of the best handling front wheel drive cars i have ever driven. Didnt fair to well at Oulton Park though, might have been due to lack of low down torque. Gr8 cars on their own rite i think ... no real match for imprezas really but the new civic type r saloon does have 250bhp and looks pretty tasty.

funny isn't it on a subaru forum all you hear is how sti's and ppp wrx's beat them....of course they will look at the power output of them compared to the ctr. but get an early turbo with no ppp kit on it and theres not a lot in at all, a ctr can keep with a turbo it won't be able to go past but it will hold it's own.

Well im pretty sure its the same vice versa. I bet on honda forums they kill subarus all day long

scoobyboy

yep it's the same whatever forum you go on be it subaru or mitsubishi or honda every one think they have the fastest car.

Forgot to say, my car is a MY00 UK Classic Turbo 2000 no ppp and no serious modifications.

i had a play with a new integra type R and wow, it beat me !

mine is restricted and he went in ffront of me on a bypass, i didnt think he was up for playing, i tried catching him up, he outbreaked me easily,then we were head to head and it was edging away then the limiter kicked in

I was behind a Integra Type R on my way to time Attack @Knockhill and leaving a built up area he booted it big time, i though "why not" and floored my car, (first time i had proper opened it up)after i had checked my undercrackers lol, i caught up with him and overtook him relativly(sp) easily i though, nice car but looked suspect on the sharp bends. gave a wee wave and away i went.

I used to own a CTR then got the same car as u M8 (03 STi PPP) and the STi would eat the CTR all day long every day

250bhp as stock? if it is then I'm having one, thought they were 222bhp. 250+ in a Type R is going to cost a lot of money if it's N/A

Sold my CTR to buy my current motor, even though i'd tweaked the civic it was never gonna be a match for an STI let alone a PPP. My mate runs a 300BHP CTR (supercharged but getting the power down is a different matter, it didnt even want to stay on the rolling road on saturday!!)
Was tempted with a DC5 integra but after a scooby test drive it too was a little lame.
