ProjectNightmare Posted January 27, 2016 Author Share Posted January 27, 2016 Hello budI've still to collect my starlet but I've also came from a DC2. How do you find the car compares in terms of fun?Spec of yours sounds pretty good!Well my car history so far is: EG, 05 WRX, UKDM DC2 and now the EP.They're all completely different... The WRX was far too 'safe' and got boring rather quickly but i love the boxer sound. So far nothing compares to the handling of the DC2. I had so much confidence in that car and knew i could throw it into any corner BUT i absolutely hate the slow wait for VTEC and it's not exactly the fastest car but still miles of fun.Now i'm on to this EP and i'm still on the fence.... mainly because i do nothing but spin in anything but perfectly dry conditions, cars too high and it basically just needs restored a little.So for now it's the DC2 winning (soz for the rant) Welcome mateWhere about in Edinburgh you from ?You will probably see me boosting about in my silver EP82!Get a few pics up so I can keep an eye out for it hahaI'd upload pics if i had any idea how to! I'm from the Gilmerton area but most days and heading over the bypass to and from the Airport for work. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
