Default bought a new car....

been looking all weekend for something to buy

was supposed to be driving to newcastle to buy an evo 7 at very sensible money today but due to massive headache,decided not to travel that far........

so decided to look local for"something to use".
looked an 04 plate subaru forester sti........
an evo 8.......
an evo 5..........

even a nissan navara!

anyway i came across something relatively cheaper than all the above which could become a possible track car so i bought it as it was 2 miles away from home.

can you guess?
sub 5k..........goes pretty well,handles pretty well in standard form.


just nipping out for a bit and will give answer later.

Hi


I've just found a piece of string.

There is no prize for guessing how long it is- but all feel free to have a go.

its a 1998 uk integra type r.you really have to work these fuckers hard-6000 rpm then the v-tech kicks in to 9000!sounds awesome too

fuckin hopeless out of the powerband though.

very impressed with how they feel out on the road,very good round corners.

came with 2 sets of wheels,some decent 17's and the original 15" ones that are screaming for some r888's or similar and a trackday.............unless it sells before hand as i dont really intend to keep it,but would like to do a trackday in it first.

Was going to say either an Accord Type R or a Teg.

Had my ATR for nearly a year now and it's been a real eye opener. Excellent car.

Very practical, not too bad on fuel (out of Vtec) and still enough low-down grunt to make progress outside of Vtec. 2.2 vs 1.8 makes the difference.

Very expensive for parts though, a lot of Honda-only stuff and they are crazy with their prices!

Honda Happiness is a great scheme tho at the Dealers, even if it does sound a bit gay.
