He has it completely stripped out too, hilarious yoke. Mine has 192 but is nigh on 1.5 tons, compared to the shoe of a Civic with at least 160 and mind's automatic too which doesn't help :pac:

I'm envious of a few mates with their fast jap cars when I'm back home but as soon as I'm 20 miles out the road and onto the motorway for the next 150, I'm glad to be able to relax in a big cruiser.
CianRyan wrote: » A B16A can certainly make more power than the 525'w putting out, calculate loss from rear driven wheels and the auto box, the Civic is probably putting down the same or more power on the road. I really doubt it's limited too, why modify that much and leave the limiter on it? Also, love the VIO Lexus. Love VIP anything.

Side wall is much more solid and better reinforced. Lovely tyres the GYs, great grip and wear slowly, but I wouldn't recommend them if your doing any sort of heavy duty driving (rough gravel, ****ty back roads, mounting kerbs to park etc.)

I had hankook ventus prime on the astra and they were a good solid tyre too although I found grip was greatly reduced when they wore down a bit I suppose that could be said to a certain extend for every tyre. My favourite all round tyre at the minute is the Bridgestone turanzas T001. They are some serious tyre overall and not bad money depending on tyre size.
