Depends on the bank, I wouldn't expect it this week though

Assuming they are paying it directly into your bank, it will take a couple of days to transfer once they release the funds.

I'd probably expect you'd have the money in your account in about ~7 days time, if there's no problems.

I'm with NatWest and took the loan out with NatWest. The online application thing said I wouldn't have to fill out any paperwork and that it was pretty much instant - but it lied!

Mate is it not a bit odd that your now going to look at Accord Type R's when you've previously stated "Have driven a friends 2.2 VTEC JDM and it was rather dull IMO" and as you point out the have virtually the same engine?

Integra > Accord IMO

It's a different car altogether though. You are quite right though I may not even like the Accord when the time comes...

Can I ask what put you off about the Integra?

From being in a car with you, it seems that you prefer handling over straight line speed, so surely the integra would be a better choice? It'd certainly suit your driving style.

I haven't read through the thread but for £5000 I'd be looking at:

Honda Integra Type R DC2 1.8 N/A:

Toyota Supra Twin Turbo 3.0 V6 24v:

http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/182137.htm

Nissan Skyline R33 Turbo:

http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/181194.htm

Nissan 200SX S14a:

http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/180755.htm

Toyota MR2 Rev3 Turbo:

http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/180996.htm

Or something a bit different, Westfield:

----------

Out of all the above I'd take the twin turbo supra, it's still a stunning performance car, looks great and is very fast indeed.

Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 4 - 320BHP (1996).

Need to be at least 21 to get insured one quite a lot of those cars. Already tried the Evo!

(I'm not 21).

Try the 200sx with other insurance companies... The 200sx is usually pretty good insurance wise.

Enfield · 6 Jun 2007 at 23:21

Only renewed in March mate, no way am i going to cancel at this stage.

ramirez · 6 Jun 2007 at 23:38

I think you're better off buying a 2 grand performance car and keeping the rest stowed away until something breaks.

Which I realise sounds doomsday like but inevitable all the same if you're considering nutter cars.

V6?

Im guessing they have either Dropped the 3VZ or 1MZ in that?

If so then that engine is near bomb proof

Edit: if you go for the Supra get the Rods changed if you are going for a **** load of power, they are the weakest part of the engine due to them not thinking anyone will use the engines as a powerfull beast IIRC
