...this car.
They have built one or two tidy motors.
If I ver get a Prelude VTEC, I may just call in.
Cool, I'm in WA3 :)
If it were RWD I might be interested. FWD not my cup of tea at all.. Mike.
MMMMM wish i could be mature enough for such dream jap crap :)
Cool, we're having a Warrington love fest!
Oh , I know it's not a proper car. But I love the VTEC smack, it's addictive.
Lol, you should stick to a Honda Logo for a while ;)
Why? - it's a Honda Civic.
You could buy a proper car for £12k.
WA2
Aye, big up the WA2 massif.
Holler!
I love the smack that the VTEC gives you. It's different. And I imagine with a supercharger giving it another 100bhp it will be a whole lot of fun. I had an Accord Type-R a few years ago and loved it, luckily someone else was paying for the fuel. I was getting about 240 miles to a full tank. O_O

I wonder how much less distinctive it is with a supercharger. There are some dyno charts for supercharged VTEC engines here:
In any case, 300bhp and front wheel drive? The standard CTR puts the power down well in the dry so long as you have a little sensitivity, but
300bhp (which practically speaking you're only ever going to see on the road in second and maybe third gear)?
Yeah well, when you look at it with a reasoned and mature approach like yours then it does seem a bit pointless.
But, I wouldn't mind a go in this:
I hankered after a Vtec until I test drove a Civic Aerodeck 1.8 Vtec. Was fast, engine was nice (but virtually useless on real world roads), but I couldn't live with the rest of the car, dull, dull, dull. I couldn't put my finger on what exactly was dull, the vehicle just oozed dullness! Same day, same forecourt, I tried a yr newer Legacy Estate with base engine (2litre) and 'family' spec suspension, it was quite slow off the line as you'd imagine, however the rest of the car made up for it. So much much more cohesive, complete, interesting and of course theres the pure understated sound of that boxer engine which hadn't been amplified a hundred times by some farting tin can backbox.
