marc_p Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Well the Supra is now officially 'off the road' for................improvements:sly:, so I've got a new toy for the road which is absolutely brilliant, I love being back in a 'rev happy' Civic again and believe it or not, I think it's actually quicker than the Supra(Through all the gears!!). Anyway, he's a pic of my latest baby: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marc_p Posted September 13, 2009 Author Share Posted September 13, 2009 Maybe I should add.................quicker than an N/A Supra:innocent: The handling and braking is immense aswell, such a fun car to drive...........VTEC just kicked in y0:p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooquicktostop Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 I have never liked them to be honest, can think of dozens of better winter fun cars (I have owned a few ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 FWD An MX5 would have got my vote. At least then you can transfer driving habits and/or skills between your two cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooquicktostop Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 I find the whole reving the nuts off the VTEC to get the best of it rather tiresome, I think a cheap V8 for the winter was my best choice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marc_p Posted September 14, 2009 Author Share Posted September 14, 2009 I have never liked them to be honest, can think of dozens of better winter fun cars (I have owned a few ) Naaaa, this is my 4th Civic, I absolutely love them, I have had quite a few cars and the Civics are always the most fun to drive. I'm making a stand against your "faster than an n/a Supra" remark Me and you outside for some fisty-cuffs FWD An MX5 would have got my vote. At least then you can transfer driving habits and/or skills between your two cars. Firstly, I'm not a hairdresser;) and secondly, I live on 'the moors' a RWD car in winter would get me to the bottom of my drive and thats about it, there's no way an MX5 would get me to work. I find the whole reving the nuts off the VTEC to get the best of it rather tiresome, I think a cheap V8 for the winter was my best choice Again a V8 would be ridiculous as a winter car for me, plus the DOHC VTEC is bloody economical.

Abz Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 I take it you have a B16A in there I have to say I do miss my Honda Civic Coupe with a 2.2 H22A Prelude engine in it! It was stupidly quick, the handling was brilliant, even better than the Supe! 6 Pot Wilwood brakes on the front...Ooh do I miss it! Think I am going to convince the missus we could do with a EP3 or even a EK Civic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike3.0 Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 My SIR Delsol and my old UK VTI EG Civic both felt faster than my new N/A Supra... Sad to say : ( But true, Although it was the looks that sold me...until I can afford the TT : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think I am going to convince the missus we could do with a EP3 or even a EK Civic. Yup, got he B16A2 in there, if your going to get a Civic again I'd go for the EK over an EP anyday, I had a play with an EP3 Type R yesterday and was actually pulling away, the car is incredibly clean though and fairly standard, I'm off to keep this baby strictly JDM, polished it today so he's a few more pics:d : My SIR Delsol and my old UK VTI EG Civic both felt faster than my new N/A Supra... Sad to say : ( But true, Although it was the looks that sold me...until I can afford the TT : ) Aye they will have been, I was desperately after a clean SIR EG Hatch but unfortunately there rare as rockin horse sh1t for a clean one, but there silly quick, they'd give a TT BPU a run for it's money on the strip. But now I've found that this is quicker than the Supra I'm not putting it back on the road until it's a TT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j_jza80 Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 An EG SiR will run a 13.1 on average. Maybe on paper, but in the real world, a stock TT would annihilate a stock Sir Civic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuldhat Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Hmm I have had a EG civic with the B16A2 with new manifold, exhaust and intake.. On the dyno it had 180 hp. And with me in it 75 kg, it ran 14.8. No one in the danish honda club, have run anything like 13.1. A stock civic EK/EG with B16A2 will run around 15 sec. And there is tons of video and so on to back that up. Sorry, even though I have had 3 hondas, Civic EG SIR, Prelude 2.2, Civic 1.5 ILS. they are not fast. Fun to drive yes. But compared to my TT, they are very slow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
