Why in gods name would you want an EP3 when you can get a DC2 for half the cost. And don't anyone use their iminent arrival of children as an excuse. Im sure everyone on here has heard of the DB8. A ITR with four doors 8)

VTEC for all the familly :lol:

the boot on these is huge compared to other type r's ive had!

its bigger than our lass's golf's boot, which can only just fit the pram/pushchair thing in it!

Excellent choice - I now have a VI and love it to bits, and for once and for all will be sticking with it.

We (MLR) also won the TOTB IV team trophy yesterday - 3 evo's in the top 4 handling, another took the 4wd top speed (199), and 4th in the 1/4 mile at 10.2 (the skyline's won that at 9.3 :eek: )

Was that one of Simon's Evos again? :x I have no idea how that guy gets so much out of a straight four!


Matt - :cry:

Sorry to be off topic.

Matt - no it was RC developments 930bhp VI, although he hit some debris at 190 mph which damaged a hose and caused the head gasket to go, leading to his retirement before getting some more 1/4 mile runs in
(have to agree with you about getting that out of a straight 4)
Norris designs didn't have his own car there, although a few customers did.

EVO's came 1st, 2nd, and 4th in the handling circuit, with a little Dax rush 3rd.

To see the skyline do a 9.3s (168mph) 1/4 was unreal.

The RWD (1200bhp) Supra did a 10.89, and a FWD Rover coupe did a low 12 !!!
