Pilsbury Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 ESCORT COSWORTH!!!!!!!! its only available in Europe lol 586362294[/snapback] And was last made 11 years ago... It was built very badly (the trim in Escorts was well known to self destruct in no time at all), and any surviving ones that haven't been stolen or crashed will be modded by idiots, or owned by anal morons who think they are worth about ninety times what they are actually worth (and possibly clean the inside of the exhaust with a toothbrush...)

Nose Nuggets Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 for people still intarested in the rx-8, this is a cool vid Mazda did http://www.mazdausa.com/MusaWeb/displayPag...geParameter=bod click on the race track on the left side then click on the person above the Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca sign. the person has a blue jewel above there head. these 2 videos, are Conrad Grunewald. if you are into drifting, he competes in formula D, drives a 240 spnocerd mainly by Falken. got second place in houston a little while back. the first vid has good info about basic driving the track vid is a little misleading because its multiple laps edited together. some shots are of his out lap (fairly slow) and other shots of his two flyers (fast laps). his turn 9 is sick, almost nocked down the camera man he was so close to the track-out. this is really just a shamless plug, cuz Conrad is my cousin, and dosent get enough plublicity. hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nose Nuggets Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 Did he previously drive an RX3? 586362924[/snapback] for what? at any point in time? its posible. he hasent owned one, or drifted one in competition as far as i know. but considering the amount of car related events he does for work, it wouldent suprise me. why?

Obviously it was someone altogether more famous. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 ^ HaHa .... doesn't matter how many letters or types or specs. The civic is just a family car. 586362313[/snapback] Yeah a family car of 0 to 60 in 6.4 seconds and a top speed of 147mph all from a 2 litre engine. With a comment like yours you definately have not drive a Civic or Integra Type R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SojIrOu Posted August 14, 2005 Author Share Posted August 14, 2005 hmm that gear shifter is in a weird place. does it work the same as a normal one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilsbury Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 Those are both current Type-R Civics. Just one is higher specced inside. The gear change is the same as a normal floor mounted one, yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 hmm that gear shifter is in a weird place. does it work the same as a normal one? 586373602[/snapback] It feels so natural in that position and its rated as having one of the best 6 speed gear boxes going as well.

Sorry to keep posting about the Civic Type R but since buying one I can't rate them enough, they are a very good car for the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SojIrOu Posted August 14, 2005 Author Share Posted August 14, 2005 hmm my dad went to the second hand car shop and wants to get a volvo s80 t6 which costs the same as a merc c180 :blink:. i can't complain much about the car since it has a twin turbo 2.9L 272bhp engine with the works. all this while i was so concerned about fuel economy for him and now he wants a petrol drinking car. why do i even bother. :laugh: he believes the manufacturers claim that it consume 11.3L/100km even when his saab takes 11.1-12.4L/100km and thats only a 2L light pressure turbo car. i bet he'll be going to the petrol kiosk twice every week.
