morgey Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 from the factory yes they did a normal version with 172bhp and yes this is on jap fuel mirage cyborg, pulsar vzr , corolla levin were all designed to contend with honda's civic Sirthen they made the ek9 type R so nissan made the vzr n1 to show them who boss basically lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BabyBhp Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 Damm ive always thought that nissan engine was a 2.0, very surprising. Never the less, if someone wanted to buy one I dont think youd find one in the uk. With the honda, youl find one anyday. Hence the reason why there highly rated in my books. You can pick up a stock vti, and give it death for a very long time, with out having to worry about any major parts going wrong. But yeh each to there own, if you dont like them or like them its your own personal preference ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mart Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 Read this article awhile back, There was a video of it aswell. I think it was America that was cracking down on the street racing and one of the main reasons they chrushed them is because parts they had under the hood were stolen from other cars...Imagine watching your pride and Joy car being crushed after all the money you put in it... I'd flip... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'd flip...Think the point is they didn't put the money into the cars,someone else did then they nicked the parts!Cant stand honda's,drove a 2001 type R and thought it was shite! Totally flat till it hit 6k then it went,can't see the point in a road car! Track car fair do's tho.VETEC= virtually torqueless economy car Give me a turbo anyday! ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gaz Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 I drove a type R too, and it wasnt much feel of power till late, but drove sooo nicely, everything was smooth and comfortable. Compared to the rickety old starlet. lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tintin_SR Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 ]VETEC= virtually torqueless economy car ;) i that may be right for sum like the comin vti ( b16a2 ) but it you have a look at things like b20s and evan the k20 and for that a H22 then its a difrent picher alltogethere! thay just need a bit of work and aftor all thats most of the fun of cars is it not the " DIY " or thats what i think eneyhoo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
prangers Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 yeh mine has the h22 lump and is tuned to 243.9bhp its very tunable and a great car to drive... and for a car which is 16 years old comes with pretty much every single gadget thats available in todays cars Quote Link to post Share on other sites
turbo_time Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 im actualy thinking about an EK9 at the minute but only if i can afford to run 2 cars would never shift the glanza for one lovely cars ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

prangers Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 as much as i do love my honda i honestly have to agree with wot was said before about there not being a lot of low down power....the vtec on my h22 comes in at 5500rpm with an increase of about 50 bhp...... surely it would be better to have that extra 50bhp the whole time..... ?????? ( my car runs on uprated internals and a daztek unichip) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Raffi Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 Damn...I am not into hondas, but that is a real shame crushings those cars. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nick_p Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 Damn that must be well gutting to see your car crushed ;) , but if they are repeated offenders and had stolen stuff of others then i suppose they had it coming to them Personally i love Hondas, alot of peeps dont like how late the power kicks in but i think its quite cool, would love a EK9 or integra for my next car.
