I went from a 243bhp mk3 ibiza cupra to a civic type R.

The CTR is so much more fun imo. Obviously not as quick but they aren't as slow as people think.

I love Vtec and do miss the boost. Maybe Il turbo my civic for the best of both lol.

:sleeping: test drove a CTR before i brought my LCR and i hate the fact that you have to thrash the civic to get anywhere, they are a quick car but i dont like reving the nuts off a car hence why i got the LCR looks 1000 times better imo and has the gear knob in the right place:p

lol, VTEC Refills! Seriously dude, I thought you knew what you were talking about? Are you sure you don't mean nitrous injection (Chav term is NOS!!)?

When you say you want to fit 'A Vtec' to your leon, do you know how stupid that sounds? Vtec isn't a single item, like a turbo. It's much more complex than that. The 1.8t engine head isn't Vtec, and no one makes a vtec head for it (Which is what you'd need).

I don't think anyone on here hates Hondas. Why would we? Obviously we are biased, but as you can see, plenty of people praise honda for inventing vtec, which is a good system admittedly. The only problem is, it's going to be almost technically impossible to fit vtec to the 1.8t engine. You could convert the car to a Honda engine, but it will cost you a fortune as everything would need to be custom made, plus you will have the headaches of making VW electrics talk to Honda electrics.

Best thread Evar lol

I like Hondas, I dont like the twats that drive them tho (no offence ment to anyone)

What I mean is i dont like the idiots especially in CTR's that just decide to come up beside you on a motorway and rev the tits of it. there is really no need whatsoever lol.

because of these idiots is a big reason why I chose my LCR over buying a CTR. i was very tempted to buy one otherwise.Great all round car that handles awesome.

As for VTec its an awesome piece of enginering yet quite simple.

Hondas also respond extremely well to Turbo or supercharing, my friend Dan was one of the first to Turbo a b16 CRX over 10 years ago and has only just recently took the engine out for a rebuild as 10years+ worth of hard driving abuse has started to take its toll. He is now going big build and hoping for 600WHP, and during those 10years he hardly had any real issues and never any bloody boost leaks from silly vac pipes lol. There is no way a 1,8T would take abuse for that long.

And fitting a VTec to a 1.8T. Well anything is possible if your pockets are deep enough, but we all no that in reality its a bit silly lol

disagree about the 1.8t taking abuse for that long there are plenty of 1.8ts with over 200k on the clock besides the 1.8t engines are under more presure due to the torque

without vac pipes breaking or turbos and rods shitting their brains out or oil strainers cloggin up. No way, not in tuned form in which his CRX is. It was running 260bhp and about 280lbft torque if i remember right which is about the same as my stage one LCR and if I gave half the abuse to my Leon as he does to his CRX then my leon would be dead.

dont get me wrong the 1.8T is an awesome engine in its own way but I just dont believe that It would take that much abuse for that long. but thats my opinion.

To overtake something on a motorway if i'm doing 60 in 6th requires me to drop 3 gears if i'm going to make any progress past something - and that means using VTEC which means the engine must be spinning at or about 5500rpm. So yes, when i overtake someone, it sounds like i'm thrashing it which compared to most stuff which runs out of revs at 6krpm .... mine is just opening up for the 2nd round of playtime :)

Sorry I think i may have worded it wrong. What I mean is I have had a few Idiots in CTR's that will purposly come up the side of me on a motorway or dual carrigeway, then dip the clutch and rev it off the limiter just to prove they have Vtec. Then they will decide to drive like twats trying to tempt you into racing them before you either give in and piss all over them or they move onto someone else.

Dont get me wrong tho Im not saying that all CTR owners are like this. Just a minority of twats that ive come across living in Essex. Unfortunatley they are now in a cheap price range that the young idiot boy racer that hasnt got the first clue about driving can now buy, and its giving them a bad image. I know the LCR is in this range but the typical Essex boy racer isnt interested as it has too many doors so we are safe at the moment lol
