so i want a turbo again would anyone consider a p/x with a glanza or a gt turbo,it would have to be fairly well spec,d and clean!

 

[buckets]

you looking some thing faster than this so

 

[JohnOBrien8]

not necessarily mate! just fancy something around 200bhp or more with a very clean body and preferably a forged engine,not necessary though!

 

[JohnOBrien8]

bumpy

 

[starletburkie]

thats a savage eg lad! was mapped by one the best mappers out there for a honda aswell best of luck with it

 

[Johnny_C]

good man john.
there are a few nice examples in the uk atm,you look through pistonheads?
that eg is unreal though!

 

[JohnOBrien8]

yeah looking on piston heads, im in two minds whether to try a dc5 or go back to the old reliable!!

Maybe test drive a dc5 first, I'd say you'd find them fairly boring after getting out of an EG like that.

 

[malcolmgt]

if i was ever going to have a civic would be similar to this or an ek9.

whats it like performance wise? handling?

 

[starletburkie]

pm'd pal

 

[JohnOBrien8]

yeah test drove one on Saturday and i felt slow!
the EG is a great handling car,way better than my old Glanza,both cars just had coilovers and strut braces!
its also goes like stink, not as torquey as a turbo but a totally different type of power and revs all the way to 9k all day long
its not near as bad as people say about hondas having no torque but then again mine is a b20 the best for making torque and it was built and mapped to make low down power not only in vtec!
