life after a dc2r

[tinkerbell]

i am pretty sure talking about street racing is not permitted on this forum.

[JORDS]

No, no street racing here, I leave it to the track under controlled conditions.

[SpecJ]

its not street racing as such, as in, you both agree to go off at the lights full pelt, it just happens without pretense, and you accelerate hard, until maybe 20% over the speed limit, and then back to normal.

regardless of non talk or not, everybody, including mods have 'gone up' against other cars on the road. otherwise why be on a car forum as opposed to a cake baking or knitting forum.

it only becomes an issue when i say where, when and my plates, then the cops have evidence against me. I think street racing is pointless and a waste of fuel at the end of the day.

back on topic, seeing age is catching up, how many of you have converted to a comfortable 4 door family car ? I'm considering a camry sportivo or aurion sports for the next car.

[Calsonic_R32]

my next car will be a tarago

[scheung]

having said that, is engine compression test the best way to check the health? Where do i get such test done?

u can go to any garage i guess....
i did mine at IS in syd...apparently as along as the lowest and highest cylinder psi are like +-10 of each other then its fine.....

[totti]

well for a dc2r, Honda specify within 28psi of each cylinder

[scheung]

oups.....yes.....10 was for my engine(4G63)...although manual says 14....but indy said 10

i went from a FN2R to a RB1 Odyssey..
it's a HUGE change let me tell ya..

i drive the ody like i would drive the CTR though...
the little one doesn't seem to mind.. he goes to sleep at whatever speed.
you get used to it after a while.. it took me a month or so.
you step on the accelerator... and the car's still on 20km/h..

Being a Honda fanboy is one thing, but to choose a car that clearly has had it's day against a see of much stronger competitors is taking it a little far. I suggest shopping around other brands before jumping into CRV ownership. You may be surprised to see how far the segment has come in the last two years.

X Trail, Colios, Tiguan, Freelander, Santa Fe, Captiva and Forester all put the CRV to shame.

[T-BaGGeR]

Totally encourage trying something new, it opens your horizons and gives you a new outlook and experience in all elements of your racing.

hi guys n gals,
atm im planning on selling my dc2r.

i am yet to go test driving but im keen on a s15.

the point of this thread is to find out whats out there that will provide as much excitement day to day as an itr for the same amount of money.

what have you guys owned either before or after an itr which is as much fun or more fun for the equivalent cash or less.

im keen to try rwd having never owned one but only driven a few. turbo wouldnt be bad either. after all i am going to try new things.

thanks for your awesome advice, and while i will agree that other cars out there are just as good if not better than the crv, in my wifes opinion, the crv is the tits, and when i'm buying a car for my wife, her opinion is the only one that counts, full fckin stop.
(not to mention all those cars are butt ugly and besides the subies, have pretty shit interiors)
oh, and yes i have driven the xtrail,captiva, forester and rav4 thanks for asking
