what's the biggest handicap for DC4???

Again with the GSi bashing, lol.

WE KNOW WE DONT HAVE FRICKING V-TEC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GSi's are what we have and we are dealing with it.

However, there is not a huge difference in quater mile times with the vti-r. Obviously it's a more powerful car, who gives a sh*t. With the engineering advantage of the V-tec engine how could it not be.

Some ppl buy a GSi for a reason i.e. the young ones for insurance problems, power nuts for boosting and for ppl who would never hit 8000rpm because they just want a reliable daily driver.

In my opinion, Honda f**ked up, why go backwards in technology for one series of car?!? If i had known anything about honda's when i bought my car i probably would have gone for a v-tec model, but, sh*t happens, i got a GSi.

So...To all the vti-r owners or type r owners who think we dont know your car can be faster, go for a drive in a car that actually IS considered quick and then think about how important your extra 20 odd kw's are.

**end rant**

hmm lots of 1996 dc4 owners here..mad!

Some people dont realise this, they think with a tranny upgrade that they will be as quick as the vtec models.

well dc2s are running mid 15s
and ive seen some dc4s running the same time..
i dont see why it cant be as quick
vtec isnt everything

I didnt know there was DC2's running mid 15s?
I ran 14.9 with a crappy take off (had a worn clutch) on street tires, with a very large suitcase full of clothes in the boot that i had forgotten to take out.

GSI's doing mid 15's are they stock.?
VTIR's doing mid 15's must be stock and or have crap drivers.

That's what the user manual said so I don't.

Anyway I would just like to point out that I'm am just asking about putting a typr r tranny in a GSi , I'm not out to try and "beat" a vti-r or type r. If adding a type r tranny to GSi was enough to "beat" or be as fast as a vti-r/type r then honda would have failed in their original mission which was to create a faster integra.

I've driven my mates old GSi teg, its not that much slower than the VTi-R models.

sorry to all i offended late long day and not the first time i have been told a dc4 can beat a dc2 I didn't spend an extra $5000 to end up with the same car. I was only reacting to a comment made by a previous post. an approx sec in a quater mile for cars is a big difference.

lol ok so your sayin a your vtir is close to even/quicker then a type r !!!
and that time is like .. one in a trillion..
but you cant accept that a gsi can be as quick as a vtir
and yes i know of at least 4 or 5 gsi's running 15.4 - 15.6

Even 0.5 seconds is a big difference in quarter mile language

guys trannys make a difference when your drag racing. i dont know about power but dragging it does make a diff. i know cos i been in a car with a type R box then they swapped it over to the b16

I give up, lol.

(pulls hair out)

Remembering the whole 'people in glass houses' thing, i wouldn't have thought that any Honda owner (short of s2k/nsx or heavy mods) would be full of themselves, thats one of the reasons i joined this site, to get away from the bagging that comes with owning a relatively slow car!!!!!!!!!

MEH!!!
