if you really want power out of the Euro, stick the JDM ITR clinder head on it and shut the **** up. You bought a 4cylinder car, LIVE WITH IT
Performance is nt measured in a straight line
BTW, if you can;t drag off V6 Commos, learn to drive

your still on your Ls buddy...
when you grow older..
work and have some savings...
then we'll talk about performance...
but right now..
just enjoy your new ride..
when i was your age... i was driving a red coloured mazda 83 model 323
no air con... in summer i had to suffer... and it looks like a box!...full tank gave me only 320Kms even though it was a 1.6L...
so you should be happy driving a 48k car around.
If you wanted performance and fuel efficiency - the ITR is the way to go, but it wont be as comfortable as you will be in your accord.
You are a looser man, you get a brand new 59k car and you say it has not enough power, go buy your own car before you complain about something that you pretty much got given. My old man has a Euro 6spd. I am lucky to sit in the driver seat =, let alone be alowed to drive it.
:thumbdwn:
yeah u are lucky, my dad neever baught me a car, my first was a ford telstar tx5 89 model that i piad for myself, and for a first car thats a very good car u lucky **** on ur ps and driving around in class, anways why ya dad buy you the car for? birthday?
Faiz - the hole you are digging for yourself is becomming a crater! :D Jeez - this story just gets better - you were given a $48K car and you are on your Ls!!!!!!!!!! My goodness - at your age I would have dreamed of owning a Euro...... :DQuote:

Anyway, your stock auto Euro will never be a "rocket" - despite how many kms you clock up. If you wanted a rocket - you purchased the wrong car. And what is the big focus on fuel consumption? You said earlier that you picked the Euro because of fuel consumption. I have never heard of anyone who is on their Ls give a rats ass about fuel consumption. Having a car - any car - even a Datson 120Y - is what most people on their Ls usually care about!
Use some of your dad's money and buy yourself some perspective. Things could be worse... a lot worse ;)
mate if i was u, i would not be worried about performance while u r on ur Ls, personally not til u get off ur Ps. Thats if u want to have a licence for a lengthy period of time. Learn to drive first....thus why its called a learners. A few yrs later, when u r confident of driving, maybe then u can start to drive the euro a bit harder and faster.
Count yourself lucky that you have such a great car to learn with it being very safe and all. I am a big fan on limiting what learners should be able to drive. Ie. NO v6, v8 or turbos. 148Kw on ur Ls is quite a bit. Thankfully, u need to push the car to get access to that power, unlike a commodore. I am sure u would have heard about the girl who wiped out her family by loosing control of her fathers HSV Clubsport while on her Ls. Too much power for someone who has no experience in driving. 'Experience' is the key word. If ur father or whoeva accompanies u, allows u to drive fast or push ur car while ur learning, they need their licence confiscated.
When u r old enough and mature enough about driving, then by all means, push the car safely to its limits on the road (within legal limits obviously) or go nuts on the track. i know u r probably thinking that ur a safe drivers etc...u have not drivin enough times and enough kms and at different conditions to know that.
my dad likes the lexus ONE . Medium four wheel drive.....My dad knows nothing about cars basically and oesnt listen to me. A person who reckens liberty gt is shit car.....in my opinion knows nothing. He just keeps going on about that hes gona buy a mercedes or a lexus just because people say they are good cars. Hes basically a show off and knows nothing about cars. He doesnt want a toyota hes looking at big names like lexus mercedes to waste his money. He even reckens the euro is a shit car just because he likes mercedes and lexus :confused:Quote:

I love the car and i choose it, and love it with all my heart...my dad doesnt like it yet he still drives it but any way. I few more kws wouldnt have hurt honda
buddy buddy buddy...
dont worry about what your dad thinks.
all asian parents are the same!! either merc or nothing.... but what can you do when money comes in as a restriction for you. Every dad dream is to drive a nice luxury merc and perferable be a S class, then again thats just class....and a Lexus is just rebadge version of the toyota.
all you have to do now is relax, be happy with what youve got and perhaps learn more about cars, coz right now your pretty new to cars according to your previous posts. More driving experience is required, give it a few years from now bud and stop complaining. :D
144Kw for a 4 cylinder is awesome!!
wat da heck is a merc??? BMW M3 baby :)
yeah for us young fellas... m3 anyday...Quote:
