Allegedly.

Ok, and I'll mail you the article where Freddie Star ate a Hamster.

lol, seriously - magazine articles schmarticles - I wanna see it in action, you sure you can't get it ready for Donington? No good owning a track preped car and not putting it on the track - it's downright sacrilige.

Its the classic fear of the diesel cars syndrome. I still drive a ep3 now chaps, and imprezza. Think i can tell how quick summit is in comparison.

All i say is youve been warned.

Thats fair enough mate, i was suprised. Looks like ill be coming up but not in the puma i dont fancy doing a dangerous and losing my clutch

Once its running perfectley and i have enough money to replace anything that breaks it will be used more on track for sure.

Its really hard to seperate any of the Hondas......as even though there are differences they are very small indeed.

The ATR will be fast there is no doubt but it will also be pulling around the most weight.

it really depends on what you can afford and what you like the look of as there aint much between the likes of a DC5 or DC2 round track in stock form.
A EK9 civic will also stay quite close to these too.....but these are rare and cost a lot of cash.

Drive them all and then see what you think.

This thread has just turned comedy.

Its made my day.

A 2.2 TD Civic is quicker than a DC5/DC2 /CTR etc.

Seriously...

Made me laugh.

Im a diesel lover, and i just sold my DC2.... i smell a slight windup here.

As for the article on the Puma vs DC2 etc... ive seen it... its the only one. I dont trust it at all. I find the whole article a little off personally.

Best Motoring all the way... tested properly.. all video'd

gtir666 · 15 Feb 2006 at 14:28

You smelt right

I never said faster though.

gtir666 · 15 Feb 2006 at 14:31

On topic, DC2 and EK9 all the way. newer type r's def lack the rawness of pre i-vtec lumps. ATR is a kinda neither here nor there best all rounder id say.

Enjoy another vid -

Can't quite see a Diesel Civic being too far up the field.

theyd all keep up but struggle to pass,

I beleive tht would suggest you think its faster. Its faster for abou the first second, then it goes bye.

was wondering how long it would take the nsx to make its move

Downright dirty play really, but great skills.

James_N · 15 Feb 2006 at 15:43

This thread was a good read untill people started suggesting diesel civic > DC2

I'll have whatever that guy is smoking!
