Love the power of the Golf but I can't stop looking at the Teg, can't talk myself out of it.

played with one last weekend, was turboed, running 320hp, carbon bonnet boot and wing. Still no match for stage 2 plus though rolling or standing.
Would most likely piss all over me on the twisties though
-
That's it, more fun cornering. Need both cars ideally :signLOL:
-
not driven one of those newer ones but drove my mates old shape teg type R, and it was phenominal. its al labout the cornering
-
They do look super-smart. There's one running about near where I work that I look at and admire. I'd still stick to my Golf though.
-
Guy near me has one, looks in mint condition and always clean.
-
Had 3 DC5's and 2 DC2's great cars, just you have to be in the mood to get the most out of them, can be alittle annoying on those well cold morning, nice sunny day around the lanes = 8)

Saw it today, the most beautiful car i've seen in the flesh :jumping:
Test drive, no power until 6k, expected more eagerness TBH. Ex has a JDM EP3 and that is a right little eager beaver, mind you I only drove that before I had Eddie. I know a Hondata ECU can bring the power forward to 4.5k, and a new inlet manifold will see good gains from the word go. I think I am used to 305bhp and anything less will feel meh.
Still can't get it out my head though, it brings driving alive again, makes it the occasion it was when you just passed your test.
The drive back (5 hours) with Eddie was great, comfy, no rattles, instant grunt. I think I need to own both these cars but that can't be done!
Damn. Damn damn. What to do!

^^^Your wake up in a while , this is just a bad dream :wink:
-
Unless its a charged K20a the Type R's are just too slow in a world of 250bhp+ Turbo hatches now. The next Type R is going to need to be supercharged or turbo'd if they want to keep selling them
Either that or they go back to basics and strip them out to save wight to go for bhp/ton. My EP3 was quick with filter, exhaust and kpro, but only just quicker than a standard mk5 gti.

My mates DC2, its got weitecs on it and some sort of muggen twin loop exhaust, what it lacks in torque it more than makes up in awesome handeling.........Dare i say it.................the best handeling FWD car ever .............i think it is.
Still wouldnt buy one though they are made of tissue paper, selection box plastic and chewing gum, not my bag !
-
the vtec comes in about 6k, which imo is far to late. when you remap them although peak power doesnt increase like a turbo car, the vtec pointis brought down to about 4k so power comes in way earlier
as a chassis, they say there is nothing available on the market(FWD) that will compete with it, and its raw as well, no electronic keep you safe malarkey, just a pukka chassis that is fantastic from the offset
-
Drove my mates JDM EP3 again yesterday for comparison and it's faster than the teg for sure. Out of vtec the civic still has torque but that teg was flat as f***.
-
How can the JDM be quicker when it has no where near the claimed bhp figure in this country, as we dont have the higher octane fuel?
Its well known on the forums that all the type r's are only set apart by the drivers in them, or any other minor difference (fuel, age, tyre wear, oil etc etc)
ep3
dc5
dc2
ek9
accord Type R

u do know the the jdm civic and teg type r have the 220bhp engine with better block and come with 220bhp stock
-
The Civic has around 212bhp and the Teg about 217. The Teg I drove felt slower which makes me think there was something wrong with it. There was noise coming from the diff (barely noticeable with the Spoon exhaust) on the teg, alot more than from the Civic.
I know the Teg had been used for 0-60 sprints at Crail raceway, maybe there was something wrong with it? I'll be test driving another Teg next week to compare.

You do know they only achieve that power on high octane fuel in japan which we dont get here :wink:
-
mmm :confused: i worked for Honda and had a few as u know :rolleye: and looked at getting the engine from japan and what the changes are from uk to jap cars and it was nothing like our engine all the part numbers were not the same
-
I mean the JDM Civic (215PS) and Integra (220PS).
Different to the UK K20 engines, as per Honda's usual act of only giving Japan the best technology :sad1:
And aye I know the JDM Civic is built in Swindon :signLOL:
-
There are differences and it is more powerful mate but most RR days guys with the JDM model made around 200-210 tops. To make maximum power they need the race stuff in japan.
It has JDM springs, valves, pistons and a smaller smaller cat, gear ratios and mapping along with a
different intake and exhaust manifolds.
This of course adds power but, as i said, is made to go with Japanese fuel. A KPRO will change it for Vpower and get around 230-240bhp

i know we went with work and could see the jdm engine going into car i was thinking mmmmm :innocent:

If anything I like the Golf even more after that Teg. The drive back was ace, averaged 34.7mpg. GIAC remap. Cruising on the motorway at 70 in 6th, foot down and whoosh away.
With the K20 you're not accelerating until you're breaking the speed limit, unless you're revving past 6k in 1st and 2nd.
I even contemplated fitting the Golf engine in the Teg, that would be my perfect car.
-
now that would be ace.
nothing like our engine all the part numbers were not the same
did you get them translatedinto english first :grin:
