Teg is surely a little torque-less for every day driving?


If I wasnt going to modify (which I dont really anymore) I would take the Teg.

If I was going to modify Id take the Coupe I think!

Saying that tho, the coupe is supposed to be unreliable isnt it? :boggle:

Nah, the Integra type R for me, especially one of the new JDM ones! Ive got a diesel Vectra for everyday use! :thumbs:

Good call, I would deffo take the DC5 Integra

Fiats 20VT aint the most solid engine no, but alot have been badly tuned.. which leads to an early death.

The horror stories about engine out cambelt changes arent as horrific as people like to make out either. The engine can be dropped slightly in the bay, and worked on with most of it still in place...

:lol: fella at work would dissgree, but i guess the power delivery could make a 260bhp turbo FWD car unstable on corners if you didnt know exactly how to drive the car...

I remember that post!

Went out in a collegues 20VT the other night, went really really well (running about 260bhp) but didnt like the corners AT ALL! It felt about as unstable as my old astra on the roundabouts!
