civic type r idiots

[TheHeap]

dellusional iS owner indeed.. a CTR will serve an iS ALL day long straights, bends the lot.

that's what i was thinking.

maybe the civic driver forgot he had a powerband

[pac1982]

the corsa will pee pee on an e30 too matey

It did in a stright line but i had him in the twistys becuase he couldnt get the power down, i know it should beat me but it didn't

Must be down to luck

I suppose stacking a 10k car is different to stacking a car worth a gnat's short of fifty pence.

The guy in question is a nutter to put you more in the picture he used to drive a Corsa B with a red top so as you can imagine he drives his VXR like he stole it.

I was really surprised my self his cars even running several of the performance upgrades available from Vauxhall so he really should have beaten me but it just wouldn’t let him put the power down round the bends.

I know he was giving it his all as I heard him bounce it off the rev limiter.

At the end of the day it just goes to prove that its move about the driver than the car when it comes to down to it.

The title of this thread kind of gives it away matey

Well your tyres must provide more efficient grip than his..
Or he's just a shit driver end of?
I used to drive a 316i.. does that make me old?

[Rosc0PColtrane]

Another one for the archives. The good ol' 140bhp i.S killing a very fine handling 200bhp modern Type R...

i.S owners wonder why they get so much stick on here!

Jesus wept, What is going on on here of late. A CTR will cream an IS. No ifs, No buts.

It's not a baby M3, it is a sewing machine. They are good cars but sadly no factory E30 is a match for todays hot hatches.

I beg to differ on that front dave.

My local pizza shop delivers in a type r civic.

There’s always ifs and buts lets take an extreme hypothetical situation you in a civic type R vs the stig in a mint and healthy 318IS round the ring I think the stig would win, unless that is of course you happen to also be a professional race driver.

Now don’t get me wrong I’m not one of the delusional IS owners I didn’t even intend to go out and buy an 318IS is just so happened that one came up for sale near me but anyway I digress, I don’t matter who has the fastest car its about how you use it and who has the best line to get around a corner

Well I guess the M3 is a good match but the all conquering 325i sport (Even sans BTB ) struggles against a properly driven std hot hatch.

We are talking factory cars here, Not molested, Tuned and tweeked cars. You have to look at it like for like.

Lol thats a race i'd like to see!

[mattyb]

my mate has a civic type r, and there bloody quick. it makes mince meat out of my mate 325i sport(e30 ovcourse). he must av been drivin in sixth to get dun by a 318. lol

[sweep]

6 pot all the way..........

[pac1982]

By the way folks i think beating a modern type R is a bit rich for a 318 but he did say it was a mk1 type R which are only a 1.6 with about 160bhp IIRC

Pre BTB has served many a so called "Hot Hatch" and even a CTR in a straight line drag, post BTB.

Clio 172/182's
Focus ST170's
Mk4 Golf GTi turbos
Audi S3's

etc etc etc.

Many people have comented on how quick my sport is for a 325i with some even going as far to say its the fastest 325i they have been in.

Simons C2 2.7 struggles to pull away

The bottom line is is a healthy low mileage, fastidiously maintained car unlike most of the worn out scrap out there.

[d6dph]

Thats a bit rich coming from a galvaniser owner!

[bss325i]

That was not a dig at you Dave.

Good M20's and M30's are getting very thin on the ground.

You only have to look in the tech section to see all the M20 woes!

Clio 172/182's (Slow)
Focus ST170's (Very Slow)
Mk4 Golf GTi turbos (Extreamly Slow)
Audi S3's (Slow)

You must have beaten better things than this i:ve seen modified 2 stroke scooters beat most of those things above

So what does tha make you car?

Arthritic?!

[e30_Turbo]

I hate Type R's, back in the n/a days they were the worst car to race, oooops, I mean overtake at speed, they seemed to have 5mph more in each gear and that was in a good B25, how you 'did' one in a 'is' is amazing, I'm stunned.

My foreman had a 03 Type R and we used to have it everynight along the long slip road and I didn't ever get near to passing him and if I gained it was cos I had better traction of the roundabout. he then bought a 05 prodrive WRX and that wasn't much of a race although these days he doesn't race anymore since he gets a proper twatting these days

uptodate subaru WRX prodrive vs 20yr old e30 with boost.....

Go back to Japan MOFO!

[mattyb]

hahahahaha

[pac1982]

I didnt buy an E30 for speed matey or claim my IS was really fast, i got it becuase of the way it looked, the main reason i dont own a 2.5 is down to the fact that for what it costs to run the performance is terrible, if i was after a performance car id have something else.

The only thing i'm after in a car these days is retro cool

[d6dph]

What are you trying to say

That was not a dig at you Dave.

I know mate, Just having a bit of fun.

Mine made a healthyish 164hp & 169ft/lb with a powerflow exhaust and BMC CDA filter , I'd hope to have a couple more ponies now it has a better exhaust and a BMW airbox back on.

I'd show him why he should be driving an iS, he would understand I'm sure

[DRIFTBOY]

The second quote in my sig is genuine, only posted on here earlier this week in fact!

[pac1982]

Lets face it chaps the only quick E30 is one that has a non standard engine or a turbo or supercharger strapped on.

All standard E30s are out performed by something else in the same type of category
