4th you should keep up, but a well driven one in the VTEC will be quicker than most Williams' and 1*2 Clio's once over 120mph, as they really dont stop pulling. My mates one I would pull a couple of cars to 120ish, but after that he'd pull past and go onto 150+. Few mods it was a different story though, I had just a backbox then, so decat, full stainless and cams was the only other time we had a do and I'd easily beat him at all speeds... well, until it hit the limiter in 5th lol

The EP3s downfall is weight.
Bare in mind the ek9 type r civics from the past were 1.6s. Put the 2.0 k20 engine in a civic of similar weight as a williams and its a different story!

200 atw is without the t/b's lol with you can get silly power 8)

Whats an eg civic?
Those Type R's are a handful for a standard willy - Its the first time since I've had it that the car following was not getting smaller!
The early shape one i think, cant be sure though!
I had a do with a civic type R a few months ago. The new but not so new ones now, like 51 reg I think. not sure on civics, its not my area of expertise. lol
Think they are around 200bhp mark.
However, a few months ago I had a do with one, up to 100mph, he couldnt leave me, not sure if I could have gone round him like, esp over 80, up to 60 I was lettin off a little so's not to drive onto his bumper. lol
I never tried to pass him as it was too dangerous, I'm not the kinda girl that likes to take dangerous risks. However, he could not get away from me. I over estimated them and thought they were a lot quicker than they are.
funny enough nyk i had a play with a CTR about 52 reg, up to 120 ish i was very close to it and honestly thought it would of pulled a massive gap on me! but it didnt... was quite suprised tbh
i was in my 16v btw, 25k 1.8 16v just breathing mods
30-80 I was struggling though as I've said in the other topic I was 1 up and had nearly 50 quids worth of food shopping in the boot - infact thats it! bloody beer!
Don't feel as bad now :lol:
ek9 is the same shape as the civic jordans so like 3 shapes ago, loads of power for a 1.6 though!

yeah I've got quite a few mods on mine as everyone knows, and run more than standard willy power. As I said I had to let off a bit at times so as not to smash into him. lol
I know what you mean tho, I expected it to pull on me a little but he just couldnt shake the underestimated valver off :wink:

My mate has a Jordan and my old Willy 2 pulled away from him fairly convincingly, much to his dismay! lol. Silly fast for a 1.6 though and the v-tec sounds awesome with his induction kit!

That lump is enough to keep a Williams honest, I know that for sure!
yeah zollo, its the fastest std 1.8 ive driven yet, tbh i love it, cracking engine! :D

split the block and reveal the megane pistons ^^^
type Rs are quick no doubt about it. The engine is quality.
I have had many a do.. i have also had the pleasure of sitting in 2lives passenger seat whilst a type R was driving spiritedly.
what does your valver run down the strip?- richy.
ive never ran it down the 1/4 mile gunner, never done a 1/4mile in any car i own, never been fussed tbh
and as far as im aware its just a std 1.8, def dont have the low down torque of the 2.0

U got to hate these types of drivers....shaw I would have given him a good run for his money in my old hybrid too :lol:
