LCR vs STI Type R

[luke]

Good going, I know the Type R is v quick (0-60 is supposed to be about 4.5 seconds according to the interweb)

Dont i know it, he demolished me off the line

...that's 4 wheels drive for you!!! mitchy what does yours do 60 in? i know that with your kind of power you'll just spin but with 'sticky tyres' surely you'll get a 5.5??? also how good does the STi sound?? oh it's bliss!!!!

 

[Mitchy]

Probably no better than 6 secs tbh. Too much wheelspin!

You cant beat the noise from a flat 4 boxer, always loved the scooby burble!

......beats the hell out of 1.2ltr novas with 6" jap style back boxes!!! a few years ago, when i had hair a mate's sister's boyfriend took us out for a spin in his RB5 [god bless you burnsey] and it was just awesome being like 16 it was just the car of your dreams and it stuck to the tarmac like glue, awesome cars.........i've just this last week bought my second LCR i thought about a newer STI but insurance wise and fuel costs put me off........and i'm sure the local PO..lice would of loved me! i had enough bother with my ovni LCR hopefully the newer platinum one will be less suspicious!

Just as I thought the cupra is a heavy fwd turbo probably the worst combination for a quick launch from standing.....rolling to top end is where the cupra will shine.

I reckon even a 2.0 n/a hatch would beat the cupra from standing to the 1/4 eh Mitchy?

 

[slinger]

......not sure on that!!! reckon the LCR 1/4 mile time is about the same as a 2.0 ltr normal asp. hatch such as CTR even with that VTEC revving like a motorbike!!! - then the LCR would eventually pull away...............before i got my LCR a mate of mine got one first and was on a private section of the M6 and was pulled away from he's other mate in a CTR, even he admitted he couldn't catch up!!! - but that's at silly speeds and day to day stuff the LCR will keep up with everything ourside of 4WD.......

Yes not a problem, remove the bottle, remove the nitrous line and then remove the pulsoids (Injectors) Progressive controller is easy enough to take out aswell! About 45mins to completely remove it!

Then spend 3 days editting all your posts on the forum's

No-body wants to buy a thrashed example so i'll have to revert it back to standard and advertise it as 1 careful lady owner

I can vouch that any time I've followed you (80m total) you've never been above 80mph - or floored it. I'm sure your Mrs would say the same.

Nothing like a woman as a passenger when you want to plant the foot!

whinge whinge whinge, nag, nag nag! Not worth it in the end

No traction at all today, i was lighting up the traction control in 3rd and got a little flicker in 4th

God knows what you BT IHI boys do

Clutch is on its last legs aswell, slipping in 5th/6th at low rpm £1300 for clutch/flywheel+ fit
