Look here mate and everyone else
Your 180sx cost just as much to insure as would your intergra vtir or type r
i know because i had both cars .......
AND why in the world would you go and buy an Integra anyway ......... when you have a 180sx ........
I have never beaten an SR20det S13 in my integra vtir ...... and to be honest i never came close..............
Even in the corners the S13 pulls out quicker because the power is already generated through the turbo.. and by the time the teg hits vtec the s13 is gone.
Fuel consumption ...... both cars uses almost the same amount ...
in parts the s13 is cheaper and is easier to locate spares these days.
so do yourself a favour stay with the s13 mateyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!
Unless your softening up and want to start a family by all means get the teg(all show no go)!!!
Grey imports are generally more difficult to insure. :)Quote:

Spare parts are a lot easier to obtain (not that you would need that many). :)
The Teg will be a lot easier to sell, when time comes. :)
And yes S13 is quicker than Teg. :(
Integra looks way better than 180SX.
I hate the way 180SX looks
180 still looks alrite...& its got more power
180sx looks shit?...ok then....well each to their own....but judging by the fact that it was designed in the mid 80s....and was still in production along side the s14 untill 98...i think the majority of ppl would think the 180sx was rather good looking....Quote:

180sx are getting old though....but for the age of the damn thing...you gotta give it some credit :).....nissan 180sx parts will always be cheaper than honda original parts, pretty much everyone knows that
if you can get insurance for a 180sx for under 2G then stick with it....
i got quoted by justcars for my dc2R $67## for full comprehensive insurance.
other places dont insure type R's for drivers under the age of 25....
just cars for my old r33 gtst quoted $56##.
i was surprised considering that skyline was an import and type R wasnt.
however, they just said to me that parts for dc2 are more expensive :'(
Ive owned an S15, wrx and now a type R....all i will say is....im selling the type r if i get a good price for it. lol.
Its all very well to have great handling but really how often do you drive on a race track every day? Next car for me will be another S15 or a supra...
If i had enough money i would keep the type R and use it as just a track car...but as an everyday car ...nah its just too annoying.
far man
yeh silvia rang is better n wrx r the coolest
but the type Rz have more style and it goz good of a n/a
pplz u saving money on pete wif honda z
all mi friends got turboz but its alright coz they alway complane on the pete too so its ok
I had an S14 with a few mods and now have a TypeR (wasn't by choice), In MY Opinion:
the SR20DET is a very strong motor and with a few mods you could smoke anything out there in a straight line the TypeR wont give you that satisfaction but then if you're putting it up against NA cars that's a different story,
i had track ZEAL coilovers on the 200 and it handled well in the twisties but found the power a lil too full on for track, but still didnt handle as well as the R with coilovers,
My friend owns a Vti-R and yes he wishes it was an R sometimes too except for the sunroof thing, considering you're not gonna mod this car to start with the R will be the best package obviously.
If you're gonna tune this car later down the track the note of the b18c7 is like music but i found with my s14 that the sound was mostly exhaust noise, i prefer the high revvvv N/A note personally
Get tEh :honda: R mAte...
where are you located ? i've seen some going for 25-26k in QLD.
One thing to look out for is tyres on the R the handling is so great you'll wanna pin every corner hard which will lead to faster tyre wear :rolleyes: ;)
insurance for a ITR/VTIR should be cheaper than insurance for a turbo s13...
Lets put this comparison to an end. There was a comparison done by "Motor"
DC2R vs WRX(bug eye) vs S15 200sx. DCR2 was the fastest car from point A to point B, second fastest 0-400m(0.4 sec slower than s15). personally i have beaten a stock s15 down the quater mile by 1 car length in a ITR.
the above are on s15s, so with the age of the s13 and s14, they reallly should be comparing to the civic vtir. i have seen stock 180sx lost to stock civic vtir on staright line (not by much 1/2 car length), on the mountain and track the stock 189sx doesn't even come close to the stock Civic vtir.
If anyone have seen Best Motoring should know JDM ITR beats JDM s14 down the quater mile. lets not forget staight line performace is exactly ITR's strength. Around tsukaba circuit it was very competitive against older STIs.
Okay let's put it this way, in term of power and sratight line performnce stock ITR dc2 is around the same as a stock s15. in term of overall performace, as the ITR is a much more purpose built car for racing, it is faster than a s15. However s15 can be fast too, but not in its stock form. also as we all know s15 have huge poteintial for drag and drit, which ITR can never dream of doing.
Honda performace cars is about balance, not muscle (Bruce lee vs mark tayson :) )
