Post Sun Aug 28, 2005 4:25 pm

Hi all, just saying hi to everyone really, I know Karan, big Dave, and two Si's from this forum, and ive met quite a few of you at some of the meets (stevenage, ace cafe etc) and thought id join up...

Im in the process of buying a new car, and im stuck in making my mind up of what to buy...

Im loving mk2 CRX VT's, but after going out with Dave and Karan, im loving the originatily and sheer fun of the old e30's... RWD is defo a factor in pulling me to the dark side

Anyhows, im off to try and find a low mileage minter on here, so ill catch up with you all soon...

Ryan

Dream on loser!

I thought I'd let you have a chance by starting at 2k, but it turned out I didn't need to, I would have eaten you up had I have tried! Stupid French turd!

It is quite quick though, but only because it is made from papier mache.

I like both CRX VTs and 325i's, for different reasons.

I say buy a CRX VT, and buy a 325i for use on track/drifting!

Dave, i raped you through 2nd, 3rd and 4th... Its only when i hit 100mph u admitally screamed past me

Its all about power to weight ratio matey, thus favouring moi!!!

Post Mon Aug 29, 2005 1:45 pm

Ryhound - welcome to the zone mate. I'm usually in Norwich once a month, was down there Friday. If you do come over to the dark side and bin off your plastic wrongness then give me a shout. PS, what's us best 1/4 mile time you stupid english kerniggot, I fart in your general direction.Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries. :lol:

Post Tue Aug 30, 2005 10:15 am

What, ive killed for less

I used my mates GPS jobbie on my runway in Norwich and was getting all mid to high 15's, but then i got a freak 15.3?

I ran i 16.16 when the car was 100% standard with full interior...

Post Tue Aug 30, 2005 10:40 am

My car did 15.9 all day long at York dragway a couple of months ago, but that was fully loaded with no interior strip out etc, plus my reaction times were shameful at 1.2 secs!

Reckon I could see very late 14's if I strip it out, sort the cold air feed and got off the line a bit sooner!

The A11 can be a nice fast road if you don't get snagged by Old Bill waiting on the sliproads at Wymondham etc

Used to be able to do thickthorn servies to Attleborough turn off in 4 1/2 mins in my alfa

Post Tue Aug 30, 2005 10:52 am

117k is fine mate! That's low mileage!

Come to Santa Pod then hero!

Post Tue Aug 30, 2005 10:54 am

Well, ive just been round ur house Dave, used your splittys as skatebords on ur drive and filled ur beemer up with octane booster, diesel and sugar

:D:D

To the pod we go *hero*

Massive head.

Post Tue Aug 30, 2005 1:40 pm

ello Ryan!!

good to see ure gonna get a proper car

325 touring mate!!!! i bought one 2 weeks ago and im loving it!!! and it held up a whole day drifting yesterday

and showed up a lot of jap stuff

Post Wed Aug 31, 2005 11:42 am

Was speaking to a bloke with a new CSL yesterday and he was bigging up the e30's like there was no 2moro! Im SERIOUSLY thinking about gettin this one ive seen... Proper sport with the M-Tech II kit, in a kinda gunmetal grey colour. 117k on a G plate i think...

Will i regret it? Ive always wanted a CRX VTEC, but e30's have soooo much originality about them, and the small factor that their RWD

Decisions, decisions...

Ryan

Post Wed Aug 31, 2005 11:51 am

Make sure I come with you and see it you head.

Almost everything has gone wrong with mine, so I know a bit about them.

Post Wed Aug 31, 2005 11:55 am

Will do pipe....

Post Wed Aug 31, 2005 11:55 am

Ryan

Drive both, then decide

My non vtec mk2 CRX was the all round best car I ever owned (sorry guys!)
Light & chuckable, you could bounce it off the rev limiter all day long no worries, and still get over 30mpg. It was slightly quicker than my 325 too at the traffic light GP, and in the wet would utterly annihilate the e30

But then an e30 has RWD

and they're a bit stronger if you crash em too, wouldn't want to be in a crash in the CRX

Originality wise I think the CRX is pretty unique looking too esp from the side/rear

Both great cars at the end of the day!

Post Wed Aug 31, 2005 10:47 pm

massive head ryan!

mate anything is gonna be better than that citroen AX innit, u need to be quick cos winter is coming and i think there will be some rust holes in that floor pan by march

Post Wed Aug 31, 2005 11:12 pm

Ryan dude, E30's are the way to go. CRX's are pretty cool, but when you can go round a roundabout facing the wrong way....thats when you know youve got a cool car!

Post Thu Sep 01, 2005 12:05 am

You can do that in a CRX, they have plenty of lift off oversteer - not quite the same though, and you can hardly keep it up all the way round, you have to do it in a series of 3 or 4 slides.
Power on, lift off - sliiide
Power on, lift off - sliiide
Power on, lift off - sliiide

Post Thu Sep 01, 2005 9:23 am

Si u massive geek... Theres already massive holes in my boot! :lol:

Ill have a look around on the net for CRX'es and e30 325i sports, if a minter of either comes up ill buy it... Lets see what comes up 1st then!...

And yes Big Man, i got a quote via elephant.co.uk on a sport, was in the region of Ãƒ”šÃ‚£1100 i believe, not too bad really... PIPE...
