feeling the itch for something else

[LeeroyV]

damn i hate going to shows as i always end up seeing something else i want and japfest was no exception.......

the integra DC5 tickled my fancy yesterday.... hmmm do i dare go vtec lol......

i have also been thinking bout the mazda 3/6 mps recently as well :/

[scottyb]

i've been the same recently. cant stop looking at S15s or R32 GTRs but insurance makes the skyline pretty much untouchable atm.

[LeeroyV]

yeh always like the s14a or s15 but well impractical as i have a littlelun so need to be able to get a babyseat in and get the baby into it lol

[dai_starletN/A]

I want that corolla that was on the best of the show or what ever it's called stand

What ever you do mate stay jap. The mazda 3/6 mps are pretty underated as tuner cars so it would be cool to see a tuned one.

I've worked on a mk1 3 mps and for a standard car it was rapid. Can't argue with 2.3l turbo power.

As for the dc5 and other hondas, unless you go turbo its fucking hard to get a decent amount of power out of them for the money spent imo.

tbf is i went for the dc5 it'll be for style as apposed to bhp.. i'd be thinking low and tucked

and yeh the 3/6mps are very understated which i why i like the idea of having one.. apparantly 350 is easily within reach with BBR doing a stage 2 them

Yesterday at japfest made me want my TD04 turbo putting on time to do it me thinks :-)

[daniel_g]

The dc5 even in standard form look sweet as, supposed to have a solid handling fwd chassis aswell.

I've got two kids and as long as a car has four seats it' was never a problem...!

Why say Impractical ?

not so bad when they can get in and out them selfs but on lower cars its a mission to get them into a baby seat so impractical for me lol

That was sweet an old school

[Whitegv]

Id love a Mazda 3 mps. look awesome and i haven't seen a bad review on them.

also a dc5 is a good choice and pretty nippy as standard. Get a good recommended induction kit and an exhaust on it and see good power gains. Its all about making the vtec breath lol

yeah mate I'm going to actually look for one if someone knows the year and model number lol

[lilryan]

mazda mps are really good quick as. but is the same volvo engine they use in the mk2 focus rs

[LeeroyV]

yeh the 2.3t engine with 256hp... only trouble is they are soooooo heavy lol but the 6 mps is awd... after japfest though im loving the look of the dc5's

[AdamB]

Read a bad review on the mazda 3mps about them overfuelling as standard and you get carbon deposits behind the intake valves, when the deposits fall off they can detonate on the chamber and causes some serious damage!

My mate also has one and they aren't a very good chassis, torque steer like crazy, probably won't be so bad with an lsd though.

[StuDoc 72]

The mazda 3 mps looks nice if its the newer model with the bonnet scoop its very scooby looking. Only problem with the mazda is pretty much evey other hot hatch in its category out performs it with a smaller engine. focus st and r32 aside. Plus mazdas arent really japanese anymore. Nice car though and if you have work done it pretty much rubbishes my comment lol.

[scottyb]

Feeling it even worse now after looking at s15s and r32s at the moment....can get a 1990 R32 GTR with 117km on the clock, mint, standard etc, for....£3686. damn i wish enzo was still doing his importing.

what about an s15 like my mates

[scottyb]

id kill for an s15 as well. is your mates one for sale? ideally id have a white or yellow aero kitted one.

[akyakapotter]

no mate he would sell his let testical before he sells that his plan is to turn it in to a drag slag one he wants a new car lol

[mattyD]

a friend of mine has a very low milage blue type r for sale if you want me to find out more details

not that im trying to guide you away from a starlet or anything but it would be good value for money if thats what you want ;)

[scottyb]

S15? it's prob be near the end of the year before i could afford anything anyway. also tempted just to mod the starlet, td04 etc. but then thats a load of money id never get back.

i am swaying towards the DC5 but im gonna have to get rid of the starlet first which probably means breaking it

[pick1]

I must admit the dc5 are sweet
