very sweet. If I worked for Honda, I would get a hybrid
Jason
I am thinking of a Honda Civic Type R as my next car - 2 litre 200 HP, thats 100 HP per litre !!!!!


Mandark
that is kick ass jason... I love Honda's y friend has the 2 seat honda hybrid... that puppy is FAST!
Jason
Won't be until the middle of next year though.


Does your beetle have the 20 valve turbo engine, like the Golf's ?
adhesive
the same engines are used all over the VW groups brands, give or take a few.
all in the name of economy of scale icon_smile.gif

i love the high rpms in the Type R engines *drool*
Mandark
Jason,

Yes. it is a 20 Valve intercooled tubo

adhesive,

This engine in a highly factory tweaked 180 HP version of the standard 1.8T (150 HP)
adhesive
yes, i know. it's called 1.8T (180) i think?

same engine as the 150HP version but with a different chip programming.
correct me if i'm wrong, but i'm positive the same engine also comes without turbo.
adhesive
nice sig pic btw icon_cool.gif
Mandark
The 1.8T for 2003 is now 170 HP. Yes there is chip fiddling but the Type S gets mechanical adjsutments.

I really do not know what you mean "without the turbo". The normally aspirated engine is the 2.0 Litre 115 HP model. Probably uses diferent BorexStroke to get it from 1800 cc to roughly 2000 cc

Yeah, they probably are all based on the same thing... Even my TDI is a 1.9L Turbo Diesel.... same block, different connecting rods, lobes, crank settings, etc.,
adhesive
same block, yes. that's where i was going :P thanks

i have to read up on the 2003 models i think...
Mandark
Hey J! get a Honda S2000 instead!

streetrace_r
spoon engine....
search google, 15000rpm redlines icon_eek.gif
Jason
The Honda S2000 is a very nice car, but I prefer the Civic as it is more practicle for me.


As a 2nd car the S2000 would be a great car.

here's a nice car:)



2002 Nissan Sentra SE-R, one of my fav's.
2.5L 16V 4Cly 170HP
You can even get a 280W Rockford Fosgate sound system installed, the one I sat in had it and it wasn't too damn bad:)

Or, if you wanna get even more dirty.



Say hello to the 2002 Nissan Maxima
255HP whoo!
nfinitefx_
We could just get downright naughty if it came down to it...



2002 Nissan Skyline GT-R R34 M-Spec NUR

Sorry, I love my Nissans:)

I drive a 95 Altima, soon to be a 98 Altima I gotta trade the 95 in, getting a few miles on it:)

Damn, I still LOVE Jags
Jason
I love Skylines, they can easily be taken above 1000 bhp and 200 mph.

And the point to that would be?
