[superbenji88]

That scoob looks so good, the evo looks like beast aswell

 

[Turkish]

[Moby]

Tremendous, but i'm pretty biased!

Anyone know who makes these carbon splitters and side sills for the STi?

 

[Turkish]

Turk you know whats been done to it ?

 

[Willy]

That new scooby is growing on me really quick!

 

[Englebert]

I liked the Subaru until the side on shots, it looks under wheeled.

 

[J03]

prefer the evo so much more.. the scoob looks a mess in terms of the new design, not saying the car above is a mess (its quite nice) its aging quick.. looks really old.. i love the evo tho! looks sooo evil!!

 

[Turkish]

 

[J03]

arghhhhhhh sooooooooooo inlove with the new evo.. looks like a sharkkk!!!

 

[Englebert]

Agreed - i've never thought the 18's looked under wheeled until now!

Has anyone ever driven a de-spoilered Evo or Scoob "at speed"

Just wondered if it affected stability. Remember the first batch of Audi TT's?

Cheers.

yup they become stupidly unstable, there is a vid of an evo doing a top speed run who finds out the scary way and spins at 130 or something...

None of those are imports, doesn't make financial sense! Just swapped badges...

Love the blue STI with the vented bonnet.

 

[Turkish]

Since when does that stop people, lol. DC2's a UKDM model was available yet people paid more for the JDM model, same goes for EP3's the JDM model commands a premium over the UKDM model. I'm aware that the JDM model is made in Swindon, lol. You could probably JDM your UKDM EP3 for less than the cost of buying a JDM model yet people still buy them.

 

[Englebert]

Trust me, there is none! No imported Type S/Zero/Rs either, maybe its a legal thing.

Another US fact is that for most of the NSXs life over their a Coupe was special order only! Fags!

I text Si last night... saw an EK9 on the M6, around 10pm.

Best one i've ever seen over here. Low, Bronze TE37's, Spoon N1, some kind of IK because it sounded MENTAL, BEAKS tie-bar etc etc... Really clean too.

Following it on the motorway under the lighting, it just looked epic. Actually, more than epic. WANT.

We had a small blast up to 120 jellybeans. Nothing in it, maybe half a length in my favour.

 

[BioHzrd]

Chris you must have a list as long as your arm of cars you want !

 

[Christopher]

Just three TBH... all Honda. lol

S2000
DC5
EK9

 

[iarno]

for you Christopher!

 

[Christopher]

Epic.

Still love it?

I had the chance of one that was very similar. 49k miles, fresh import.

By the time I had a buyer for my 182, it was too late though, it was sold and I lost my deposit. Gutted.

I'll try and find the pics.

EDIT: Found pics. Mint eh?

Don't tell porkies Cwissy

NSX R GT

NSX R GT Spoon

NSX Mugen RR

No doubt one of these would be in the list too

[Christopher]

Aye! Lend us £100k!

 

[Englebert]

That one looked great Chris.

TBH a stock NSX-R looks better than the GT/Spoon/Mugen. Any with the GT kit needs slamming, whereas the NSX-R just looks right from the off.

 

[Christopher]

Yup. Genuinely gutted that I missed it.

Agreed on the NSX-R too. Red Pole Positions... dribble.

 

[Englebert]

Baller spec.. .pearlescent instead of CW.

 

[Christopher]

Baller Spec. LOL

I've seen a Pearl White in the metal. Weird colour! Looks like a silver car with a thin coat of CW over the top. :S Not 100% on it TBH.

 

[Justin]

Without sounding like a c**k, whats the big attraction with an EK9?

 

[Christopher]

The fact it's not an EP3, is by far the biggest attraction of the EK9.

Hi

 

[Justin]

LOL! Fair enough. Just wondered.

 

[Christopher]

Nah, lol. They're such a hoot to drive though... if a little "marmite"

 

[BioHzrd]

Diff between and Ep3 and Ek9 ??

I Are n00b....

 

[Merk]

Diff between and Ep3 and Ek9 ??

I Are n00b....

Ep3's are the more common type r's you'll see around, ek9's are the first CTR made, 1.6 185bhp (apparently) and LSD as standard, so the more "hardcore" of the two...

however FN2 FTW.

 

[BioHzrd]

So there the oldest then ??
