Your using a bebo page to prove that all owners of hondas are skangers? Theres no denying that theres alot of them, in the nearest town to me theres about 4 ****mobiles with skangers driving them, but I;m apart of the Integra owners club and all the members there are extremely mature and nothing like skangers at all.

I know of 3 bmw's with lexus lights and stupid looking bodykits on them in the town too driven by skangers as well, and theres plenty of people like that driving the likes of audi a3's a4's, bmw's (maybe not the expensive ones) plenty of golfs and passats.



True the honda has to be pushed but that was always the design idea, there by no means the perfect car or for everybody, I'd advise anyone thinking of one to take a good long test drive in one and see if they can adapt there driving style to suit the car because there gutless at low revs.

cheap bmw rwd cars are gonna be bought up by skangers for "diffen" or whatever its called.

Its Vzr S.I.R

Yeh the simplest thing to do is take a test drive in both, the civic will wow you though if you've never driven anything like it before because of its kick, so take a step back and compare the two ro see what suits you, remember the Vzr wont have high torque figures either but its power will kick in more smoothly

Lets be honest,

theres idiots everwhere, all walks of life, be it in yer job, in yer social life or in the club your a member of...

car clubs do there best to remove this idiots but its a hard task.

i agree with the scum statement, ofcourse theres skangers/scum driving good cars but theres good people driving good things too, for most its a phase that after a set amount of time they grow out of....


as for the honda part- i personally don't like them due to the excessive under steer, there unibody design is a master piece of engineering, really helps making any suspension mods worth the little bit better by being as ridged as f***. Ofcourse you need a long test drive, always bring 20 quid for petrol so even if you don't buy the car, you are giving the guy his petrol money back at the same time your getting a killer drive, no 1 lap around the block kinda crap.


Yes, sadly all the cheap e30/e36's are being diffed and drifted/diffin'ed but with the retards not realising how hard the e30 is to drive fast... yeah not alot of them around in useable condition

civics have a bit of acceleration but at high speeds they have the same issue all hot hatchs have... more strongly then most ive seen, at 80-100+ you will notice that the car becomes less responsive and as you hit the top speed mark it will barely turn at all... making it dangerous, thanks to the common lack of skill among irish drivers.

also, the vzr engine ( known as the CA5 to most nissan mechanics ) is the best engine if ever worked on.... simple mechanics, tons of room in the bay and plenty of tourqe. a mate has a bog standard one in a standard sunny body and jesus, you could tow anything as we proved... ( broken down cars, family size trailers etc ) its a only a small bit more then the civic but if you where to tune the both of them you'd get more bang for yer buck from the pulsar then the civic.... though the civic would be cheaper for most parts, there just more engines available to the nissan which makes it soooo desireable.


Getting more so on topic:

Best of luck to the OP, im glad to see theres some fans of the pulsar still around.... though t they all died out and bought new golfs :mad:

Im gonna go up to dublin this week and test drive a pulsar and type R. Just to make sure Im making the right choice.

are Japcars nice guys when it comes to a test drive?

I would also suggest you try testing out, a mitsu mirage cyborg ZR or RS.

The RS is the competitor to the Type R lightweight, and the ZR is the competitor to the Type R .

I drive the ZR, and I don't feel any threat from a type R civic. In fact, it would be happily frighting type R integras.

Again after all this is said. Its down to the driver, also your taste in cars.

lad the vzr bluetop has 175 brake..thats in the lines of compeating with the vetec and siR civics and some mivecs...however for the few motors that do exceed the bluetops range like the type r ek9...thats then the vzr n1 comes into play..the SR16VE,the most powerful factory procuded 1.6 N/A engine (197bhp)..it took hondas F20c engine to top it..and even at that,thats a 2litre engine..and eventhough the vvl has two stages,believe me you can still feel the pull aswell as the unmistakable noise as it changes over into each stage of the vvl
