funny you should say that

i got wasted from a saab 93 diesel tonight coming out of tesco

saying that i had two passengers and a boot full of shopping

Saying that...iv looked on Parkers on the insignia and the only version i can see being close to that i only just outdone was the SRI petrol with 216bhp same as the S but WAY more torque than me. So i win.

It's true.

no nitin it is not true. you're letting the side down mate

the type S was the furthest toward the backdoor of the NSX honda were prepared to go for under 30K

yes it has much less weight but it still has comfort and class. iv yet to be in a type R that didnt feel like a bag of spanners. fast spanners yes, but spanners all the same.

In real world conditions, I don't find that there's anything in it between the Lude and the ATR. The Prelude's earlier vtec cut-in helps, I suppose, as well as it being a bit of a softer ride and less susceptible to bump-steer.
On a track, I'm pretty sure the ATR would win.

As to other Type Rs. There are umpteen versions of Civics near us, but none of the near-standard ones have any advantage over either of our Hondas. (Except, perhaps, for economy?) They're smaller, uglier and certainly not quicker. Tegs? The Accord did struggle to get away from a DC2 a while back: good job there were a few bendy bits!

EXACTLY what i did. Didnt like any of the others and IMO compared to the lude are over priced. Now I have more power, and a lot more torque, than all 3 of these cars in the lude and something thats mine

Plus unless i go to a lude meet i can go weeks without seeing another which is a big plus in my books

And i love the low ride too

Quite simply, +1.

i took a civic boy out in my 5th gen who was singing about how civics are this and that. he held on tight and realized how much he had underestimated.. he also stopped singing

i took an mr2 twin entry turbo owner who does send his car, he needed a new pair after he got out of mine

the 4th gen prelude has the best interior compared to any other honda, the way your sat and the dash is sort of moulded around you,

the only factor is i think is from stop up to around 4k revs. this is where the b can out do the h, on take off

rolling then h should dominate the b series stock for stock.

i would rather stick with my lude and mod then have a teg

you need a lightened flywheel
