I thought the 1.6 VTI`S were close on 180bhp? I could be wrong.


David.

Edit: just googled it and there a few places are saying 160bhp.

 

[Kevgrady]

yeh im running a bell auto's map forge fmic forge tip and bmc cai

 

[__B3NNY__]

Well if your running that id say that you should quite easily pull a few car lengths in front.



David.

IIRC it was the old shape Ek9 that produced near on 180bhp, Again i could be wrong lol.

Not very impressive at all really. But yeh the integra is pretty damn quick. I now have to contend with the following
new civic type r
integra type r
s2000
some how i feel a bigger turbo is needed to contend with the last one lol but a remap and my fmic should see off the civic n integra

 

[__B3NNY__]

you`ll piss the civic with a re-map, as it happends i let me mate do about a 6 mile drive in mine at the weekend, you couldnt wipe the smile off his face with a wet kipper!! he couldnt belive how hard it pulled. speshly in 5th! its quite amazing! His Quote " This thing would be dangerous in my hands"

Oh and he drives a CTR.

All cars mentioned would be toasted by a decently mapped cupra.

 

[A9_SLU]

Even an S2000?? My mate had an integra type R they do go well but only if you rag the **** out of them. But they are supposed to be one of the best handling front wheel drive cars so the Ibiza might not keep up around corners.

My mate has a DC2 JDM Integra and it walks away from me top end. Low down (if i can get traction) i initially pull away.

14.0 @ 105, compared to my 14.6 @ 100.

He had it RR'd at 220bhp, and my Cupra came out with 198bhp.

 

[PhilW]

I cant see me having difficulty with an S2000 at all.

 

[B3NPM_Cupra]

Once i have had mine mapped i will let you all know as i sold my CTR to get the cupra

S2000 aren't that slow

Honda S2000
0 - 60 Time.....5.87
(seconds) 1/4 Mile Time.....14.39
(seconds) 1/4 Mile Speed.....99.50

 

[PhilW]

Didnt say they were slow, i said i wont have much problem against them.

Theyre not that quick 0-60 btw, 6.0 seconds dead arent they?

 

[karl.w]

I'm not sure what Honda claims the 0-60 time is. The times in my last post was what a standard S2000 was supposed to have recorded at the pod

Ive never had a run against one but i always thought that they were pretty quick cars

 

[Tony 156]

iv raced the jordans and there not all that, should be very close.

the only ones to stay away from are the EK9r's, standard they do 5.8 to 60.

also they are seam welded and wiegh as much as my head rest!

not bad for a car thats over 8 years old!
