Remapped S3 v's Civic Type R EK9

[1animal1]

Dave it was extremely close....and no i dont talk ****.... nor do i make things up, whats the point for 1 and for 2 who am i helping?

How many 150brake T's have you seen that do 9secs 0-60......you talk **** matey, even the worst published figures arent that bad....

And to be fair the Jordans are slow.

This topic is about the Ek9 not the Ek4 Just because its the shame shape dont mean its the same car. The jordan was a VTi this is a Type-R and a true Type-R. The Jordan was heavy due to its leathers but its still quicker than any 1.8 turbo.

Who are you kidding? My "1.8 turbo" would quite literally **** on a Jordan.

I have a friend who has owned 2 Ek9 Type R's and another who has owned an Ek4 VTi and a DC2 Integra Type R. The later being the best of the three by a long shot.

I *think* when Dave says "1.8 turbo" he's talking about the 1.8T, not the S3.

Handbag alert!

I was talking about the 1.8T, not the S3. As animal says his 1350kg 150bhp 1.8T beats a 158bhp 1150kg Civic

Dave this wasnt a stop starter......and i didnt dream it, although i think we are both astute enough to realise that driver ability is also a big consideration....

the scenario that i described happened, would the 1.8T do well in a totally fair race from a standing start...based on the figures you've quoted id guess not

wonder what the torque figures are on one of those against the 1.8T out of curiousity

my mate had a crx mk2 vt and it was quicker than an ibiza cupra up the 1/4mile and it was not just the once.it was about 170bhp and if you kept the revs up it was a rocket.on the way to ten of the best it was pulling on an escort cossy up a hill with the two of us in it.

has some fun with one of these today

was so funny was a 08 plate and he didnt think i could fly past i let him go first then see ya .... lol

 

[grathies]

I had a good one the other day, was about 4am so the roads were nice and clear with no Police to worry about.

Coming down the road about 30, as I was about to come onto the roundabout I saw this bloke coming round the roundabout at about 20ish, he went for the same road as I did

Got upto about 20mph behind him as its a narrow road, had a look round and just popped out and went round him, got upto about 25-30mph and backed off as I got just past him

Anyone else had any run-ins with the Dairy Crest Milk Floats? Think a standard S3 could struggle agaisnt one

Hahah, yeah I met one once coming out of my estate but he lost me on the bends. Torque from them batteries is immense ;-)
