This isn't tidy TBH, it needs spraying ideally. Much like all my cars.

Gaz.'s Honda Accord Type R (VTEC Kicked in etc)

Lol fair enough. Yeah the rest of it's sound, that's why I bought it.

I agree with this wholeheartedly. My mk1 can be tiresome (low, rattley dash, occasional drip from the sunroof) especially with the amount of miles I'm racking up nowadays. However, last night I took it out for a drive just for the sake of doing so and realised just how much fun it really it. I'll regret selling it.
You still thinking of getting shot of the ATR Gaz?
I will be getting shot of it. Not for the time being, can't be bothered trying to sell a car at this time of year, nor can I afford anything I actually want lol.

Depends on what it is, but ultimately probably not!

Lol -im joking, i can't get rid of this one, i'm too fond of it.
I haven't updated this in a while, mainly because all that's happened is things breaking!
In November, I cracked the rear bumper trying to convince it to return to it's correct shape, then I also drove through a flood which ripped my front splitter clean off, bar 2 1" square pieces left under the screws holding it on.
Then last week the clutch decided it was fed up with life, seemingly having thrown a friction pad out judging by the symptoms.
So, with that happening, the car will be getting fixed up, and sold. I'm not enjoying it anyway so why continue paying for a car I dislike?
Which brings my little update, I painted the rocker cover seeing as that'll help my sale. It's VHT wrinkle red, and I'll let the pictures do the talking...
I've also put my coilovers I never got the interest to fit up for sale, and will refurb the Evo X wheels and sell them too.

The accord market isn't, it's full of miserable middle aged dicks who think they are the best car ever made. So the coilovers and wheels are being sold separately, and are worth far more to me that way anyhow.
Changing the clutch will aid the sale mind.

Just sanded it off.
Not sure. I can't afford anything I truly want.
I'm toying with maybe getting an E46 330Ci, at least it's RWD, has a half decent image and will sound better. However, it seems the newest, lowest mileage, black or grey, hardtop with a manual box isn't for sale ATM. I've not driven one yet (or even really seen one in the flesh) to see If I like them though.

Vtec.
It being silver.

The Owner's Club.
The Bradford Taxi image.
Vtec.
The s**t noise it makes, especially on Vtec.
No torque until about 500rpm before Vtec.
I'm sure it would be a lot better on a track stuck in it's powerband, but frankly I don't want to drive like a 17 year old boy just to get it to move in a hurry out in the real world. It's just tiresome.

Nope. It seems you either love them, or hate them, and if you love them, then you become a complete and utter mindless spastic who can't acknowledge there are other cars than Hondas.
I had one guy try telling me he tore an RX7 a new one in his, so I asked him if it was on the back of a recovery truck, because even on twisty B roads there's no contest. They're all as deluded.

And Ford fans, VAG fans, the lot.
I'm a Jap fan through and through, but I've owned just as many non Jap cars. Hell, I've owned a FIAT, an MG and a Renault, I can do cack cars!

Whichever has fuel
I know, I saw the 200, the RX and the Mg!
Ouch...... I kinda liked that mg!
I'd own another 200 or RX7, I wouldn't fancy owning any of my other previous cars again lol.
Easily solved, import one. The UK RX7s rot just as much, my 96 import was fresher underneath than 5 year old UK cars. Underseal it properly and it'll last for years and years.

Yeah true.
But then I have a mate who imports cars and some of the dodgy dealings going on at the export/import docks scare me! tbh, I'm just not familiar enough or confident enough with them.
With fords/renaults I know what i'm talking about and as such i'm confident in buying them, as you are with Jap stuff.

ever driven an escort cosworth? Standard they are boring as f**k.... Mental ones break ALL the time lol I f**ked one bareback in my 200sx and it had a plate with 400bhp on it lol!
Genuinely miss my 200 the most out of all the cars I had, I want a onevia at some point as a toy but for now I'm happy being a vagfag lol

Honestly never driven an accord type R. Really fancied one as they were said to be not far behind the Integra in terms of handling. How do you find the chassis when you lean on it a little?
That's totally missing the point, an Escort Cosworth is an iconic car, an EP3 Type R isn't really, not even near in the desirability stakes.
Much like any other decent handling FWD TBH.
You didn't say how he was comparing it... Performance/handling its prob pretty close, rareness and etc obv not... But I doubt anyone would compare the two on that.

I can tell you a Vtec fan then
Something with boost sounds much more up your street . The fact that you have to work the Vtec engine hard is part of its charm for me . It demands that you put the effot in or it will give you nothing in return .

I can't afford anything with boost I want, hence looking towards BMWs.
I like them, but there's too much potential for a massive bill. Plus they really shouldn't be FWD.
