:) glad to be there.

It would be interesting to see the aerodynamic differences between the sedan and the hatch. My guess is the sedan would be more slippery, but i agree with the hatchback generating much more usable downforce. I have seen sedans in races maybe its just, user preference?
 
hehehe, gimme a couple of months to find the right one though



That ones quite nice. I dont think its for sale though.. lol. Theres one driving around my town atm, its exactly what i want.. but its not for sale either * sigh* i think i might go and make them an offer.

I would just like to bring attention to Honda, who has now officially anounced that there will be a successor to the current NSX. they also hinted at being a v10. this is official news retrieved from Honda spokespeople themselves and printed in the september issue of Wheels magazine.

".. since the buzz surrounding the 2007 Nissan Skyline GT-R, honda has been prompted to fight fire with fire."

"The cylinder count for the new car, due in 2008/2009 is a complez issue. Honda boss Takeo Fukui talked about an F1 link with the v10, but with the F1 rules set to see a switch to V8's from 2006, its not immediately clear how his will mesh up with the new engine proposed for the new NSX."

This new made disco dance like it twas 1975. I hope they keep the v10, but who knows with all these formula one troubles, seeing this is Hondas heritage, its goin gto be a hard decision.

The thing is, I don't really see the NSX being competition for the GT-R. They're really completely different cars. The next Supra and a performance RX8/new RX7 would be more likely to be competition for the GT-R. The NSX is more of an exotic than a GT. I think it'll be gunning for taking down Lambos and Ferraris more than GT-Rs.
 
I think the orignal NSX was taken out of its league, and thrusted apon the exortics of the world. Im pretty sure they intended for it to be a super sports car, rather then an exotic supercar. Although due to the media, Honda realised that it was being compared to things higher such as being called "the best ferrari ever made". If the next NSX is to continue living up to these expectations then yes, it should be takin down lambo's and ferraris, which it already has been known to do.

Psi civic: Yeah it is noice, i think it comes with fully hectic subwoofer, pumpen' just for you.

True for now since alot of Lamborghinis are straight line monsters, but surely you've seen a big difference the Diablo to the Gallardo in handling.

With Lamborghinis now being tested on the 'Ring, it may not be to far before Lamborghini is back up there blowing up records in speed and handling.

first off, sorry for the double post, im not sure how to post with two different quotes.

The gallardo is definantly more 'up there' in he handling department, compared to most lamborghini's of yester-year, but theyre still quite the way off some of the better handling cars such as the ultra nimble porsche gt2.
 
Please don't make pointless 'bump' posts. If people are actually interested, they will actually post in it.
 
lol.. V-tec indeed. I dont know what i possibly meant. Maybe the H stands for Honda?..lol

And as for the site.. i dont think anyones replied :(

So no..lol
 
Hey PSi civic, long time minimal talking. I had my compy formatted and had school exams etc.. So havent realy had too much time for gaming. ( dagnamit). But last time i did play i replaced my desire for a civic sedan, with a realy nice Nissan Primera early ninety model. I figured that they would handle somewhat the same, and the do have similar proportions. So if i squint realy hard i can see EF civic influences XD.

Ive also been car shopping lately. only four months until i can actually drive muh car without supervision, so im now keenly hunting around for the perfect EF civic sedan. Mind you ive found a fair few.. But i think im too specific with my wants :P . They all seem to be automatic, something i dont want, especially in my first car.

I hope to be posting more on here, now that the hell from my preliminary exams are over.

i've messed with a few of those nissans. they do feel a bit like a civic i suppose although they have a 2l engine.

what did you want to pay for the car? your so close to japan you could probably import one if you dont mind the shipping fees.
 
ARGH! shipping fees?. that already sounds like to much XD. Im not exactly looking to pay all that much, being my first car and all.. i dont know.. maybe around .. $4000?
 
if you mean $4,000 us then you should be able to get one for that. it only costs about 8-9k to import a glass top crx to north america and i know jdm sedans cost less. you being so close i think you could get an ef4 if not an ef5 for about that price.
 
9k for a glass top crx. a sedan would only cost about 5k or so us and the shipping would be more. you should at least look into getting one.
 
Correct me if i'm wrong, but don't you have to go through a rigorous process to get it checked for emissions, etc.? I remember reading up on importing skylines before, and it would cost tons and tons, even in states that don't require emissions checks.
 
That sounds about right. Another reason why i shouldnt import it XD. Id say though, if the car was already being manufactured in the country your importing it to, you wouldnt have to have all that testing done. I think because of the skylines not being made in the states ( well i dont think they where) they had to be tested for all that and a bag of potatoe chips.
 
thats only for the us because our government sucks huge ****. they dont realize that cars dont pollute but big bussiness does! but anyway... aus has right hand drive cars right? my guess is the cars are very similar so it should be no problem.
