How fast should an EK9 Type R be?

It's a faster one though:D
Mine's a daily driver so the A/C, PAS, airbags, auto electric windows, recaro seats, red carpets/mats and front fogs are pretty nice to have. I still have the awesome B16B there, just a bit of added weight.

The titanium gear knob, alu pedals and tints are nice too:cool:

I would want all that, could do without the AC, fogs and airbags though, do they have ABS?
 
fair enough, i still find it totally bizarre the 'race' spec one has no bucket seats yet it is faster, surely you would end up sitting on the centre console half the time :p
 
the 106's are quick when modded, haven't been troubled by one yet though.

In the old 2L hybrid my mates VTS kept up.. it has unknown mods though, from what I can see:

16" Oz lightweight wheels
massive brakes front and back
heat wrapped manifold
heat wrapped pipercross induction kit
some custom ecu loom

If I start behind him i'm passed him by 70 ish, what manifolds are on the VTS's? It got some wrapped tubular jobbie.
 
Up to 70 power to weight is key, after that it is more about the Power output.

In simple terms anyway, obviously there are a whole heap of factors affecting this
 
Doubt your mates vts is cammed.

Get yourself, ek9 boy and vts boy to come for a drive up snake pass etc when mines back on the road :D
 
I'D RATHER GO FAST THAN GO PRETTY :p

The seats are actually quite grippy but as soon as I have the cash a nice BRIDE bucket seat will be going in :D

PS Tim are you a member of EK9.org ?
