the dark side...

Hi all,

well 5 months after selling the SW20 and living with a god-awful CVT P11 primera, i've gone and bought a Honda. A Torneo Euro R in black to be specific. Probably not the best place to be saying so but I reckon on a rolling start it would be a match for my old Gen 1 SW, which had ~150wkw

Certainly a lot of car for your money, with some sensible mod's already done in Japan (TEIN adjustables, Kakimoto dual exhaust, K&N pod on a fat pipe) - plus a H22A, factory Recaro/Momo and most importantly, 4 doors and room for carseat as stipulated by her indoors.

Actually much more of a 'boy-racer' car than my SW ever was, but on the whole i'm very happy. Right, back to lurking...

CL1's are a sweet car, wouldn't mind one when I get sick of the Type R.

Advans FTW

(On a side note does anyone know if you can buy genuine ones in the country? Not ANZ replicas)

Yes, seconded - I like Euro-Rs and Snoozn's one is a particularly awesome beasty, for a big car with a (relatively) small NA motor that thing has some wicked legs on it

I'll probably turn to the dark side some time next year. In the form of an S2000...
