The Need For Speed

[cullenmin]

Treated myself to an early xmas present last week, sold my "pimp pimp" "drug dealer" bmw and went Japanese

Old and relatively slow...

New and nips on enough to give some of you standard Uk Turbo owners a fright...

I'm starting to defeat the purpose of having a runaround as well as the type R scoob but hey ho. The scoob is being driven less and less as it becomes more of a dedicated track car, I was driving the beemer 95% of the time so my Need For Speed has made me do it

Comments welcome, anyone else came from these civics to the scooby scene?

Quality mate I found the position of the gearstick weird when i drove a sport.

Won't be that bad on fuel if you stay out the V-Tec

[wulsey]

I think the Civic Type R in that colour & shape is stunning.

I heard you'd bought a Honda -nice clean looking car Rich

[C_WRX]

Sold a silver one of them before getting the Scoob.

Enjoyed my time with it - wife hated though as ALWAYS wheel span in 1st gear in the rain and felt very embarrassed when people turned round to look - gave me plenty of laughs !

Actually liked the different gearstick position.

nice i used to have an ek9 and love vtec but couldent deal with the fwd id recomend you upgrade to the jdm (they got a good lsd as standard) or mugen lsd to ceep it on the road tho mine dident like bends lol

[the_ex_leper]

I do like the position of the gear stick, gives you a racey feel to it

Won't be that bad on fuel if you stay out the V-Tec

That might be a struggle

A lad at work was telling me about the lsd but tbh I dont think I will modify the car, save the mod £££ for the scooby.

Thanks for all the comments, the car has low mileage and the bodywork is near perfect. I'll be sookin up to Wayne (sczscoob) and hopefully he will have a go with his garage full of goodies

Always fancied a civic myself, and am currently on the lookout for a little runaround (to replace the c2 vts, what to get...)

[cullenmin]

Nice pic neil. Funnily enough, I seem to have that same grin when it kicks in

Brilliant cars, great to drive. My sister used to have one and i always used to take it a blast. Was surprised that the Lupo managed to push one off a roundabout and up the hill last week tho. Woohoo, Gon the Lupo!

[~ ~ Cal ~~]

I had one for 3 years, Black 52 plate from new...........great gearbox and brakes. Did about 10 track days @ KH in it. Cornered very well indeed

Great purchase !

[scouk]

Hah cool! Great looking machine! Me Likey!

Have been tempted a couple of times to ditch the Ka and get a cheap Mr2 or something as that "Need for Speed" is still there. But gave it an early crimbo pressie last week with a tank of V-Power so that'll have to do me just now. Surprisingly it makes a difference on a ol iron engine!... Scoob seems to have been off the road more than on it this year. I'm starting to suspect the problems all stemmed from the RR day incident but who knows, it's snowballed a bit since then..

[BalliSTIc]

But it doesn't BUUUUUURBLE!

(But then neither does mine... yet *chuckle*)

Nice one mate. Thought you were going Type 25? Glad u chucked the Beemer... pimpmobile just didn't suit you. At least it'll be easier for me to spot u in Kirkcaldy...

RED WUNZ GO FASTA! (except scoobs of course!)

... and vs the scoob, you might just get 1mpg better fuel economy out of it too! *chortle*

Good choice.

Apologies for the thread hijack but what wheels did you end up with on the Lupo Dan?

Cheers

[gus the bus]

Very nice car indeed ! has always been on my list of cars to have at some point in time. Just hasn't happened. YET!!!

[sparky_sj04]

Nice one! Used to fancy one myself, they definitely have an appeal. And to have one as well as keeping the Scoob is a great choice!

[dan_jess]

Hi Graham, i went with the Lenso's in the end. The car will be for sale shortly so i couldnt justify spending big on the rims, got a really good deal on them. Heres a couple of pics. Again, apologies for the thread hi-jack

Cheers
