New Euro Owner. Hi!

[aaronng]

Hi everyone!

After lurking in the forum for ages and reading all the informative posts, I've just purchased an Arctic Blue Euro (manual, base model). Happy happy! Will be taking delivery of the car in 2 weeks.

I was very impressed that Euro drove along at 40km/h in 6th gear, 800-900 rpm without choking! And went up a steep hill at 40km/h in 3rd as well. Coming from an Astra, this was a great surprise!

Welcome! I know you are just commenting on flexibility but I wouldn't recommend you drive at 40km/h in 6th gear often!

I too was impressed with the Euro, I didn't get to test drive it, I was pissed at the time but it was comfortable in the back :) It was my girlfriends choice out of the list of cars that I had picked out. I knew that this was a great car. I wanted a Subaru Liberty GT or another Integra type R, but am more than happy with the Euro. I like to call it a 4 door integra! :D Blue is a good choice, nice to see that you opted for the manual. I don't know why someone would get an auto, must be for the old fella's:p

Congrats on the purchase man! you'll definitely love it.
Lucky for you only it's only 2 weeks wait, I have to wait for mine more than 2 months!

Yup, just wanted to test the engine's flexibility. :D
Just wondering, can you fit 215 series tyres on the stock 16" rims? Lower profile of course, to keep the rolling diameter the same.

Yes you can..

I was lucky that there was a blue manual base Euro in the holding yard. Assembled August 04, and arrived in Australia Sept 04. So actually it is sort of a self-imposed wait. I can't wait for it to arrive!

Has anyone used Cartrak before? How is it? I notice that the QuikTrak page hasn't been updated for over a year.

Congrats on the purchase. Hope to see some nice mods on your car soon :D

I wish I had a 6MT.....on well, the 5AT is still quite fun anyway :P
