Ongoing debate here, would like some more opinions...
Alps Pacino, who will be along shortly, is convinced his Integra will torture my Focus RS in a straight line and round corners, i'm not so sure, although i'm not sure it won't either.
What do you lot think?

FRS spec: Std apart from Mongoose & decat and K&N ind. kit. And a different stereo.

Integra: Not sure...over to you Alps.

Alps Pacino

I never once said it would torture the FRS however i raced a standard 1 and pulled away form it once above 100mph.

I dont know what they handle like but i know mine handles very very well.

Mine has a decat exhaust and a mugen airbox so same mods as yours. The thing is if there identically the same speed in theory mine has won as its only a 1.8 without a turbo in my book would you agree with that o and im only 187bhp standard to your 220bhp????????

EIL132

If you cant beat the Integra, sell the FRS and buy a decent tuned RST

Alps Pacino

EIL132
If he cant beat the ingetra sell the frs and buy a dc5 teg 220bhp standard and pretty rapid for a na 2.0

Paul m8,
Alps is on track at our track night so change your plans and you can see who's is the quickest in a legal and safe way, I have a stopwatch
I will then show you both up in my slick shod track car ( not my cossie)
lol

I used to rip a guys Integra R absolutely no problem in a shonky old tin pot. TBH always thought they were vastly over rated

Alps Pacino

the youth

I might be bringing my crx so thats out the window, the little blue beast that next year will be sporting a 1.6 turbo 300bhp motor and 850kg

Then i can show you lot what can be achieved with the same money as a stage3 cossie in the honda world

notSteveS2

i love to race jap cars!!!!!!

Alps Pacino

EIL132

Vastly over rated compared to what?????????????????

People forget there only a 1.8 non turbo motor that aint that light. Compare 1 to a rs1800 for example and see how over rated it is then.

There not about straight line speed but built for track use in mind, you would have to drive 1 to understand why people rate them, they aint unbelievable but its the most FUN car i have owned and that includeds my 350bhp rwd saph

EIL132

Compared to the Civic which did live up to the hype, the Integra always disappointed me. I drove one numerous times and it didn't make me want to rush out and buy it. Good car, but not exactly benchmark material is how I'd describe it. If you can beat a FRS then yes, it means the driver was not as good as you as it deffo should not be behind the Integra in any department. Your Cossie must have been well past it's sell by date

Alps Pacino

EIL132

Aint ALL cossie past there sell by date, stu from msd said its 1 of the nicest 2wd's he has driven very perky apparently, so was not an old shit heap by any means.

Now i have driven a civic type-r and i found it boring to padded out and the vtec range wasnt big enough. Its down to driving style and you have to really realy push them and i mean 1st gear out of some corners etc to get the most out of them.

They were benchmark when they first came out and as i have said before are still classed as the best handling fwd car ever produced, you dont get much more bench mark than that

I'm not saying there the worlds greatest car but neither is any of the rs range, i removed the blinkers and realised that for an over all package off performance, handling, reliability and value retention your hard pushed to find better imo

plynchy

Don't really understand the last paragraph mate, but theoretically there should be very little between them. Problem i've got is Ford build pretty crap engines cc/BHP in reality, and Honda build very good ones that need the tits revving off them (must be a bike/car crossover thing). Don't know what the weight of both cars is which could make a massive difference.

Not knocking the Teg's abilities or the Focus'. Just trying to get some opinions.
All a bit of banter mate.

Alps Pacino

plynchy

Where are you, you started this post then went to bed lol, o and EIL there is only 1 way to settle it and thats to race the focus rs, both witht the same mods so all is fair as far as i'm concerned

Alps Pacino

plynchy

I aint taking it to hart but as you said you raced a civic and was surprised, jacko with his 380bhp was surprised at my wee 1.8 and even if i dont beat you i can guarentee you will have respect for the integra and its 1.8 non turbo motor

plynchy

I'm up all night mate, beauty of shift work.

the youth
I'm not going to be doing anything stupid Steve, far too old and responsible for that now. Plus i've already lost one car this year, have no intention of losing another.

Alps Pacino

plynchy

When you fancying a dabble then, late 1 night maybe but there is only 1 way to settle the ongoing debate of is the teg really as good as alps makes out.

Well it aint broke yet so the answer is yes

O and just out of curiosity what have you seen top speed out of it mine is 156

YoungMatt

Would love to see the outcome of this

Alps Pacino

YoungMatt

So would i

YoungMatt

Pmsl...Didn't mean to state the obvious but think it would be very close

T28 RST

I would say the Focus

Ive raced both

DC5 Integra type R
modified Focus RS

And bet the both of them

Alps Pacino

T28 RST

I have a dc2 bud the poxy old 1.8 one with a meassly 187bhp

89xr2

Just race and find out. And remember, straight lines are for fairies. And do it safely...

T28 RST

Focus it is then

Unless some sabotage is taking place

plynchy

I was surprised by the Civic mate, which is why I have my doubts about beating the Teg.

Top speed is easily over 140 at the moment, haven't explored it fully yet. We're just going to have to wait till we meet sometime fella, i'm past the point of going out to race people, sounds lame after posting this thread but i'm after opinions, got nothing to prove.

plynchy

On that note, fancy a track day at Donny? I'm doing one on the 19th August, pre national day. Youth and Righthooker are supposed to be too. Ł135. Taking the saff but will have the FRS there too for a few laps.

Alps Pacino

plynchy

The problem is we are never going to just come across each other by accident. 1 night on the 174 is perfect from the graystones roundabout to the first or second bridge cause you can if there is any plod at the rounabout and then off you go, with no way for them to get onto the 174 till the 3rd bridge

I aint no vin diesel race for slips type but i will step up for a chalange even if its up against something that everyone on here things i dont stand a chance against, the problem is if i loose its expected if you loose how do you post the result up on here a ford site

Alps Pacino

plynchy

If the cleveland group want to chip in to make me look like a tit then ye i'm up for it

plynchy

I don't.

No problem, if its faster then it is. No shame in it. I just go and buy the bluefin i'm thinking about.

Edit: This is a reply to the 2nd post above BTW!

Alps Pacino

plynchy

then i demolish you in a h reg crx with a 1.6 litre engine

plynchy

Thats when I buy the family estate car I should have bought.




Mmmmm......RS4 anyone?

Alps Pacino

plynchy

The crx still wont be far behind an rs4 12 1/4s anyone

plynchy

I know what i'd rather have though, and if you tell me you wouldn't your lying.
Awesome things. Audis that is, not CRX's.

89xr2

I'd say race around a track like cadwell park or something similar where out and out power isnt as important as handling and driver skill.

Fastmaul

12's in a CRX?? with or without turbo/supercharger? I'm guessing about 350hp is all you really need in a car the size of a shoe box. LOL.

plynchy

Erik, thats turbo'd mate. And also completely mad.

plynchy

Erm...but the point we are trying to prove here is which is the faster car, not who has the biggest nads, which is me, obviously.

Thats why I suggested Donny, its a very fast track whereas Cadwell or Knockhill are very "technical" if you like.

89xr2

If you purely want to know who has the "fastest" car drag race... if you want to know who has the best car, drive round a circuit that has a good blend of both handling and speed. It needs to be quite tight and twist as you'd never catch each other up if you made a mistake on a corner or something on a fast track.

Fastmaul

Plynchy, my worthless money is on you! You better win, I'm feckin broke!! LOL.

thought that might be of interest to you

plynchy

Can't play silly buggers any more Erik, have to behave myself now, responsibilities and all that.
Hows fatty doing?
