Rear wheel drive is just more fun, although awd would be nice for winters.

The new Si's are slow and ugly

Post by **LincolnRacer** » Wed Dec 25, 2002 4:30 pm

The only good thing about the new Si's are the shifters, good location, easy to shift. There is a local civic that had a blower put on it/ intercooled, it's pretty fast, seems like it would be a fun car to drive that was probably under 7500 g's. I have a video of it @ http://lincolnracers.tripod.com/others.htm

Finally someone mentioned the DSM AWD Talons/Eclipses! (unless I missed it)

I want to find an early 90's Galant VR4. Talk about sleeper!

Also have love for early Miatas, MR2s, newer Preludes, and a Celica All-Trac might be sweet, too.

One werd i gotta say, kool. Never met a guy that actually utilized a honduh in twisties or turns other den a intersection.

Everyone else ive met that has one.....well u kno.....

and very true it did get really fatter, uglier, n slower.....always thought the EK chassis looked nice tho, but those SI coupes.....hav pep

HAHA, Si coupes are DOGS. The newest hatch is just disgusting, it weighs more than the old (00) coupe, and has the same power, and VTEC kicks in at like 3800 or something ridiculious. Way to ruin a quasi-decent car. They should have made the old Si in the hatch not the coupe, and they simply shouldn't have made a new Si.

Post by **LincolnRacer** » Wed Dec 25, 2002 4:30 pm

The thing that pisses me off about Hondas is the people that rice out the CRX's and actually make them fast somehow because they weight absolutely nothing. Drop a srt20det in that bisotch, and you got a fast, bad handling, drag car. that would only cost, say a little over 2g's, because the car costs nothing...is that possible to put that engine in therrrre? As for new Si's, they suck, you dont have to explain why.

"that would only cost, say a little over 2g's, "

yeah, just for the engine. crack addict. good luck fabricating mounts and stuff too, especially under 2k.-chet

I saw a g60 corrado up here in canada for 10,500 which is well under 7,500 US it was a 91 and it had 150,000 km on it which i believe is well under 80,000 miles I would have bought it but didn't have that much cash at the time. (about a month ago before i got my 240)

Post by **bp2ooo** » Wed Dec 25, 2002 4:30 pm

i dont think i have ever seen one in my area for sale. But the few i have seen on the net have always been pretty expensive. There really nice cars. Thats a pretty good deal canuck, but ive never seen one that cheap.
