In other words, it's starting to sound like you know nothing about engine swaps, the process, or that V6 engines don't always make as much power as an I4.

I'm dumb.
 
Forgot to bring my DSLR for transformation photos... But restored my headlights and gave it a nice wax. :D

Didn't have enough time to buff the car, but it WILL HAPPEN!
 
Awesome, I bet the Mégane cars can't keep up in the corners... :p

Almost :P

The 2 Megane were the RS version, with 265bhp... My Clio only has 65bhp.. It doesn't take much to realise that they were behind me for a short amount of time
 
Wallet =/= driver talent


Anyone can drive a fast car fast, only done can drive slow cars fast. Take your slow car to the track, you'll learn the layout better and be faster than the guy who brings a fast car right away; by the time you have a faster car (if that happens), you'll be much faster...

;)
 
Yes, that is true.

But the problem, was that it has a event made by Renault and the guys on the Megane probably had a formation by renault and they were FAST. I mean, crazy fast..
I took a ride with one, on a Renault Clio RS, and on the first hard braking, I nearly hit the head on the windshield :P

But, I totally agree with you. It takes a good driver to drive a slow car fast.

For that matter, you can jog around the track predicting your line.
Or go slow in a fast car and learn it in 6 laps.
Or use a slow car and learn it in 6 laps.

You're basically saying the person who has more experience on a specific track will be faster than another who has no experience in said track.


So, in other words, no ****.
 
The cars were all parked on the street in a row so I thought I'd take a few photos. None are mine, they all belong to my parents, but I get to drive both the Fit and the Civic Si extensively. The FR-S I can only drive with my dad and he'll object if I rev it over 4000 or go more that 5 mph over the speed limit :indiff:. But still, awesome car. And the Si is really nice, too.

The photos were taken on my phone so they're unbelievably awful, apologies.

Poor you in the FR-S. There's a torque drop right at 4K RPMs too and 5 miles over? Srsly?

Yeah, he drives it like an old man and expects the same of me. But still, I can hardly complain, it's still an FR-S!
 
NO! Never drive the FR-S again if you value your life. Especially if there are hills. You could dead! NO TORX!
 
Why is it JDM if it's LHD?
 
Speaking of JDM I mean Keep it as Close to the japanese market as possible. Sure it's a LHD and not from Japan eventhough it was build in Suzuka, but what I mean I don't Rice it and put strange aftermarket parts on it, except OEM Parts and official Honda tuner parts such as Mugen and Spoon.
 
I don't think I've ever posted in this thread before. I'll have to search my archives for some of my past cars and put up a few older shots. I have a rather lengthy commute so I'm currently driving a 2010 Honda Fit. (Commuting Adventures in the World's Slowest Car). If you can avoid traffic and drive sedately, you can manage over 40 mpg, a good deal better than the EPA estimates. When you cover 100 miles round trip daily, you start to think about these things, as well as your environmental footprint. The FR-S is my weekend sanctuary.

The first three were taken a few miles from my house (wearing new shoes). The last three were from NJMSP during an HPDE track day back in the late spring.
