The insurance is 3800 euro, which is actually pretty good, they wanted 4000 euro for a 1.4 focus .Insurance is terrible in Ireland anyway, i know a guy paying about 5000euro on a Landcruiser.

Thats the one alright. Wales is a lovely place too and the roads are excellent!

JEEEEEEEEBUS, thats like £2500 for insurance! Damn i didnt think there was anywhere worse for insurance than england, but i may of been proven wrong. I'm gonna do a quote on one for me. Fully Comp i assume?

Guess your not at uni/college then

EDIT:

Hah did a quote with NUD and Admiral, was £2451 with £250 excess and £2639 with £0 excess. What a rip.

Fully comp and mods declared. Insurance is not set up right in Ireland at all. For instance i can not get insurance on anything over 1.6, doesnt matter if its a 2litre with 90bhp. I wont get it. Theres no insurance 'groupings' apparently.

No uni for me, maybe next year though.

Insurance is above.

Brilliant handling indeed, 150bhp at around 990kg.

Del Sols come under a lot of stick from MkI and MkII CRX owners, no love lost between them. Del Slos really only share the name. And the engine I guess.

Gilly · 16 Apr 2006 at 13:36

I've never been able to look at Del Sols in the same light since a guy coming to Amsterdam with us who we'd been told drove a sweet MR2 turbo turned up in said Del Sol.

He was massive too.

We fell about laughing when we were introduced

Another reason I didnt go for the del sol.
I am not a hairdresser!

Not really my cup of tea, but the wheels are nice though

Enfield · 16 Apr 2006 at 13:54

150bhp weighing in at roughly 990kg.
0-60 is 'apparently' in the high 7's-low 8's

De-tango side repeaters? Yes?
Detango front bumper indicators, im not so sure :confused:

Enfield · 16 Apr 2006 at 14:06

It doesn't need de-tangoing IMO because it's a red car - it blends in nicely.

fonzee · 16 Apr 2006 at 14:09

whats the mpg like if ya know? drinker?

Mic · 16 Apr 2006 at 14:17

Not driven it long enough to find out really. Should be okay if i dont go crazy with the vtec.

Gaijin · 16 Apr 2006 at 14:18

Another one joins the fold

Nice motor mate, the CRX VTEC's are really good cars.

Mic said:

If it's a B16A2 in there, shouldn't it be 157bhp? 0-60 between 7.6 and 7.9 depending on who you ask.

I get about 33mpg out of my B18C4 with mixed driving so I would have though the B16 would be comparable/better

Enjoy it

As far as im aware its a B16A1, but i could be very wrong.
157 is again 'apparently' what the JDM model has as it runs on 100RON. Some say its a myth but im not sure. JDM Sirs are heavier die to PAS,Air con and an lsd.

Remember kids, power steerings for pufters.

thebrasso · 16 Apr 2006 at 14:29

Very nice mate :cool:

I think the wheels look gucci, I wouldn't change them personally.

Jonnycoupe · 16 Apr 2006 at 14:53

That engine will make 160 all day, I'm yet to see a CRX VT actually make as low as 150 bhp

Nice car, the definite hot hatch.
