Dan507 Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 If you don't crash, you're not trying hard enough. You're all pusses. As Much as i love starlets. i think i'd rather have vtec. Either an EK9 or DC5 for me. I've driven and been in many turbo cars before but i much prefer high revving N/A engines. Best car i have even driven is a DC5. I want one so bad.

ryan lang Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 okay top race drivers do come off the track, but its not because they've run out of road. its because they are going to fast for their ability and reactionstherefore running out of talent Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starbo Moorley Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 I saw a white mx spin off at jf2, lucky there wasnt a wall there for him too hit....... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Got.boost Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 You cant turbo a Vtec, but you can't Vtec a turbo. You know it makes sense.I think you was meant to say You can't Vtec a turbo but you can turbo a Vtec Hahahaha Don't get me wrong Vtec turbos are cool a mate of mine got a 320bhp integra turbo and f**k me it flys and sounds the nuts but I will still pick my Glanza over the integra Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 These kinda threads make for a funny read haha.Answering the original question, ep3s are far too common i think, yes they can make for good cars in the right hands but they are extortionate to seriously mod them, ie turbo, supercharge or high bhp N/A are mega money. And a car isnt worth having if its standard imo.So i reckon you should atleast take a road test in a glanza if thats what you wanna go for. Obviously they are getting quite old now and a lot have been owned by knobs in the past who dont know how to look after a car correctly, which often means that the health of the engine and gearbox etc are not at their best. So you need to be careful when buying one, there is a buyers guide on here somewhere that you should check out to help you spot any bad examples.Best of luck buddy.

Starbo Moorley Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Its a thing of personal prefrence, ill be going vtec turbo late next year if the gt dont put the times down that i want it too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Addymk2 Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 My last car was a uk spec DC2. I didn't get on with the whole vtec system to be honest. It was all or nothing. The car handled amazingly well and had no dramas putting the power down. But I just found it all a little... Boring.I don't drive my car to set times or anything I used it as a fast road daily. Fair play it covered ground quickly enough but it all got a little tedious. If I was building a dedicated track car the DC2 would be high up onto shopping list along with another Levin AE111 BZR (handled equally aswell and personally I thought it felt a better drive too) If the Teg had been boosted things may be different. But it was full of little niggles that just ruined it for me personally! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bean Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Don't bother with a glanza, gt's are a different league. Such a better car! If a Honda doesn't have an lsd I don't know how they can call it a type r. I've had a few starlets and quite a few Hondas including a 91 crx vt, 99 dc2, a couple of eg's and an aerodeck vti. My daily is a 190bhp eg I converted to a b18c4 with all the running gear from the aerodeck and I love it, its a better drive than a starlet. But its crying out for boost. The vtec vs boost thing will always go on but they both have their pros and cons. The Hondas are more reliable though, but starlets can be too if there will looked after, serviced well and treated as an old car. You can't expect 15 year old parts to last forever Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zeldoz Posted December 22, 2012 Author Share Posted December 22, 2012 Fire some pics up of said Type-R, I always fancy a swap the other way. Don't get me wrong Glanza's are great cars but I'm always a bit envious of more modern cars, the starlet can feel very dated at times and lacks any kind of refinement I find.Definitely interested fire me a PM Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Addymk2 Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Don't bother with a glanza, gt's are a different league. Such a better car! How so? It's the same chassis (bar slightly more flexible in the GT as there's not as much bracing) just a different body. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jakeep82 Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 is there any one on here local to you who can take you for a spin in glanza/gt to help make your mind up ? i got offered a ep3 plus cash for my forged gt i turned it down ! couldnt go to something slower i love my little 1.3 ! get such a satisfaction beating bigger engine more expensive cars nothing around here has yet touched my ep82 !! my mate is now boosting his b16 he is determined to beat me !

Bean Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 It's a much nicer driving position in a gt, they drive better, better interior, There lighter, faster, don't look Like a micra and only the late ones have the skinny glanza rods!How so? It's the same chassis (bar slightly more flexible in the GT as there's not as much bracing) just a different body. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Stock vs stock I'd have a GT. Recaros in a Glanza make it a different car all together IMO. the standard seats offer a rubbish driving position but its nothing a nice set of seats can't fix.Glanza does it for me, although I do have both.

I've driven an NA replica or owned one for 5 months. Handled well but can't camped power ect..GT's are much cheaper to buy.. I think there uglier (IMO) but I think it's a 'toms' kit or somthimg they do look sexy with that..I think I would go either way GT or a Glanza as long as it's looked after. I desperately need a spin in one to see if I fall for it! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Zeldoz Posted December 23, 2012 Author Share Posted December 23, 2012 I think I've made my mind up! I'll be back in January (or whn the civic sells) Glanza. Would love to finish the conversion project of my old N/A if anyone knows where it is?R206 URB - Silver with blue wheels(chrome lip) black roof / scoop! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
