R32 & honda 220bhp vtec

[DIESELDAVE]

Had a play with the above coming home last night..The honda was a white coupe , i think it was an integra ! We had a play on a rolling start in second gear and it was neck and neck upto about 80 in third gear . Next onto the R32 it was the new one and a five door. Guy driving with a few mates in the car was up my ar*e so i knew he wanted a play. I thought he would waste me but turned the traction off and hammered it from the lights onto a tight bend, i was actually in front and started to pull on him on the straight ( all in second gear ) . Pulled up at the next lights and we were both laughing , we had a quick chat and he was tellin me that his car only had 400 mile on the clock , i said to him thats why you couldnt pull ahead, lights changed on green and he just waved me on !!!! I was happy cause thought i was gonna get left for dead.....One thing his car sounded awesome.

I know its childish racing but sometimes you have to ha

at least the guy in the r32 is doing the right thing and ragging his motor in, better than taking it careful, the end results will be better

on a note of playing with other cars, i had a go against an s2000 the other day, up a dual track he couldnt pull away at all, if we would have been side by side it would have been neck and neck, dont think he was too happy, i gave a little flash but he just glared, goddam honda drivers, obivously s2000 drivers are like the CTR drivers

I take it your FR is remapped, anything else done to it mate?

 

[DIESELDAVE]

No ive got an LCR 225

 

[DIFT]

In your profile, says you have a Leon FR

Is the LCR standard?

I've just got rid of my 210 LCR in favour of a MkV R32. Although I'm still running in the R32, I don't really think there is much difference in performance, in fact the LCR feels faster, probably because of the Turbo. What the R32 does have is a great V6 soundtrack and phenomenal traction and grip.

I meet up with a friend today that has recently bought a S2000. We had a go side by side from about 30mph to 100mph. My 210 Cupra (not mapped) seemed to pull away slightly (about 1+half car lenghts) as I dont think he was quite in the Vtec rev range but he gradually started to crawl up beside me but that was at 100mph and we both slowed... all done in a safe area ofcourse . Im sure he would have passed me if we had kept going

I was supprised as his car has 240 odd bhp and must be lighter. YAY MEE

To be fair mate.. A standard 210 LCR should get a ass kicking by a well driven S2000...

Why don't you just p*ss off and buy a Honda again, Ben!

Oh and on the topic of R32s, I have had a play with a few (older shape) and even when standard I had to let off their bumpers. Don't get me wrong, I would rather have an R32 for looks, residuals, badge, comfort and several other factors, but the LCR is quicker.

Yes, on paper and on the road, where it counts, a LCR is quicker.

didnt happen he was only crawling up on me when we got above 70, pretty much even upto that point
