True, true, its a balancing act, I'd still take a Vtec over a Mivec, Both my parents have Vtecs, really good cars for what they are. And there are plenty of places that do really good quality turbo upgrades hahaha

No other car company has been able to match what Honda has done with VTEC. I remember before i brought my Civic i was looking at alot of Cyborgs, i prefered the shape and on paper it had more hp. I drove about four and couldn't make up my mind. Then i drove a SiR, brought it then and there. Haven't looked back

The only thing I dislike about Honda's is that most are Front wheel drive, for racing is a bit pointless, the last time I was at Taupo track I was watching the SS2000 series, there happened to be a couple of turbo civics and its was wheel spin, understeer city, absolutly no traction comming off the hair pin unsteering all over the show, good fun but Cool I wouldn't mind a S2000 though, NA with a 9 grand rpm limit, can get an easy 400BHP with a turbo upgrade and they handle really good.

Yeah i have to agree with that, but turbo fwd is never a good idea. Get an integra type r, tuned to about 200hp @ the wheels, and it will cane on the track. You have to remember that a track spec civic weighs under a 1000kg, so its useless in terms of track use to turbo it and crank it up to 400hp.

On new years day I was again in Taupo at the track with a few of the boys, watching the SS2000 (the weather was crap and we were keen to watch whatever was going) Again watching the SS2000 and I agree about the Integra, there was an Integra absolutly cleaning up in second place nothing could touch it... having said that in FIRST place was an RX7 with a 12APP that ate absolutly everything, nothing could come close let alone pass... go the rotor!
