just how fast are ITG

you mean a teggy type R?
ive beens eriously looking at these, a williams is nice, cheaper and smaller, but......its not 200bhp. and its not 9000rpm, and it doesnt have the parts availability.
Besides, i think the real clincher is that i can get in the engine bay!!!
prices vary ALOT and some older ones are asking 11K whist some newer ones are only 6K.....DOH!?
But, i think it would be an ace car.
Remember escort cosworths arent fast fast, standard ones anyway, struggled past 140 and 0-60 was about 6.7 to 60 so would be a close call.
ITR have the best sounding 4 cyl!! There is little understeer so youre right Ben oversteer isnt that hard to get. It also has the coupe shape which is nice, but day to day driving would get annoying, peaky engine, so no pull unless ur in the right gear plus interior is crap!
i saw a dyno chart of the new ITR with I Vtec .. the torque seems to be quite flat . i will drive one after i head back to NZ see how it goes
Ben u r right heaps of parts for Jap cars. I think i will still keep it N/A though
Rob wut about a S2000 2.0L Vtect 9000 rpm engine that should be even better
I had an S2000 behind me this morning, looked like 2003 spec model as it had extra little bits. I think they look superb, a shark like look. Dont know much about them? Why arent many sold over here in the UK?
Ben, i know what you mean, peaky engines are more fun, and feel more up for it but sitting in a traffic queue on a foggy rainy day at 7am gets annoying. I like my road cars to be a good comprimise, i think the 172 is a better one. Youre being unfair on torque, its a great feeling, good ol mid range surge!
Whats wrong with the NSX? EVO rated the new type r better than the zonda s! I saw a red one a while back and it looked fab
s2000s are getting common as muck round our way! Seen more of them than 16vs!!
One parks where i work with the number plate "S2000 RK"!! Yummy!
raced an Integra Type R a few months ago in my Willy engined valver (filter chip zorst), and can honestly say there was nothing in it! Which suprised the Honda, we raced about3 or 4 times over the space of 2-3 miles right round the clock too, just about topped out.
It was a friend of someone on this forum, who owns a megane, the integra was a red one, 197bhp standard, but with filter n zorst, sounded absolutely gorgeous! really really nice when revved
who is this mate of the integra driver then? (from the north east)
Wongy, wicked choice of car mate.... if i was in your position, teggy every time. its the ultimate bump up from a clio 16v 137bhp -> 190bhp is about right without killing yourself. However if you already own a 172.. should you not have considered this option before you invested Clio 172?
i also agreed about keeping the lump N/A.... however on the other hand just to get your tastebuds mosit.. have a look at this :-

seems the tegy r is a motor with lots of respect for what it is and i agree with benr, i love the fact it so street racer and stripped out,
anyway the reason im asking is that coz on new years eve i went out in my mates one and i almost pood my pants. it was so damn fast and really suprised me. yeah the book figures sayd not a lot in it with 172 but ive been in a passenger in both and the teg r is def faster plus i get to drive a 172 everyday and it really does not impress me sorry to say, we were 4 up in it and before the vtec it is quick but once vtec kicks in it takes offf like a bloody turbo, so amazing plus i love caining the tits out of my valver so i guess the honda vtec will suit me a lot. did not find it a problem with no torque as say like my valver. it pull strong from low down coz it revs sooo fast. i reall was impressed and there much faster than a ctr i test drove.
and you know what my mate got his for 6k and i can def afford to do the same sell mine and get one im need and extra 11k ontop of the price of my valver to get a cossie but with the itg i think 3k max will cover it. yes i want a cossie as its the ultimate bad boy car but if i cant afford one then im def getting a teg r for a new run around. plus its only 200 more to insure than my valver
get a white one. jap style zorst, viper ind kits, chip it and i could probably kill almost everything on the roads
wongy
is the itr only a 1.8? thats a lot of power from a small engine.
i suppose the s2000 is 2 litre and puts out 240 though, there cant be much room left for tuning (not for road use anyway)
NSX type-r is ultra cool, but if you wanted a car that was a rare expensive version, it might not be a good idea to start with a rare expensive car if you know what i mean.
isnt there an accord 2.2 type r as well? whats that like?
And you listen to EVO.....2 words......rock apes
and i read that articel last night, the FRP, ITR and MK1 172, and the jurno and VBH said the 172 felt more, well, faster.......but the problem lies in the fact that the ITR is far mor tunable....and yup, you can get loads more power out of it.
well, i just think it would be fun........and 9000rpm is more fun than 7750......
and itll probably break down less.......*touch wood*

....including yourself Wongy if you arent careful!!
rob, the problem is that they know sh*t all about cars, and are probaly the worst jurno drivers in the UK, and possibly spain LOL.........well throw in indai for good measure.
their drifty photos, look like drifts, but are more commonly known as skids...and last for about 0.2 secs......
But granted, if you like pretty pictures.....its your mag..
Rockport http://www.honda-r.org.ukwww.honda-r.org.uk but they are a bit muppety.
Whats wrong with the NSX Type R. Autocar were ulogizing over it, comparing it to a 911 and a F360.
Im not even going to start about EVO, you obviously have a long memory!
Oh and http://www.honda-r.org.ukwww.honda-r.org.uk = anally rentented!!
I had my Integra Type-R before the Cup, did some track days in it and ran it for 26 000 trouble free miles. It is a no nonsense road racer, fearsomely noisy and hard, but with pinsharp handling, excellent, ABS equipped brakes and a stonking engine-gearbox combo.
In a straight line, my ITR was almost identical performance wise to my Cup, I clocked 6.7 to 60 in the ITR and 6.6 in the Cup.
Around the track, both are superb. If you buy one, you wont regret it.
However, I investigated the tuning route extensively, and if you want to tune your motors, I advise against an Integra. Exhaust an intake will cost you a fortune, and only give you another 5 hp if you are lucky. Someone I know spent about 4 grand on tuning, including racing cams, exhaust, intake, manifold etc, and came out with another 11 bhp. That sucks. So it is best left alone.
Good luck!
6.7 lol early large turbo escort cozzys are 5.9 to 60, and later smaller turbo ones are 5.7. Not too sure on the 0-100 times, but i think its around 16.9, and if im correct this is about 3 seconds quicker than a willy.
Arnt you lot comparing modded willys with standard cossys, this isnt fair
mod the escort and you won;t see it for dust lolmark mate my absolutely bog standard willy ran 15.3s all day @90+mph an it aint gunna take long to get it to 100 after that lol. so like for like (in mod terms) theres very very little in it only the 4wd system helping the coss to a better time
now with panel filter de-cat n s/s zorst it runs 14.8s with 100 coming up not long after
well
i think if i can afford a cossie then iits gonna be a ITG. lot of car for the money plus its a screamer whichi si what i like. tuneability is not a problem for me. its fast as feck out of factory so it will prob be left well alone anyway, just driven to the red line on every gear change. 9000 rpm now that is just mental
