KiNK43 Posted March 2, 2014 Author Share Posted March 2, 2014 Fiesta St. Just as felt it should start kicking off. Power dwindled away and there was the limiter. Very disappointing.Gotta love a vtec motor for fun. I know there not the fastest things in the world but they are definately fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the roar as you pass 6k and just keep going and going and it's still making power. No, not the fastest thing out there but fast enough to plaster a massive grin across my face on a regular basis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, power curve on a VTEC engine literally keeps climing and peaks just before the limiter! Derv's power comes in one lump across a small section of revs then tails off, petrol turbo's are much the same but more of it! Petrol N/A will peak early and tail off too! Most definitely. It's not always about speed. It's the fun factor too.Yeah, I don't need to go twice the national speed limit, I prefer a good A road and some tricky bends! Occasional traffic light grand prix too!

I used to work with a chap who had an r34, ALL he used to bag on about was how it would do nearly 200 mph (yawn!) my EK used to eat standard r34's, scoobs, evo's et round the twisty stuff in track. Of course, they blasted past me in the straights, but i prefer going round a corner quick to going in a straight line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KiNK43 Posted March 4, 2014 Author Share Posted March 4, 2014 Oh for sure I've had plenty of opportunities to ditch Honda. But they are awesome fun cars and they do hold there own against the big boys. I been on the bumper of a 650i upto 150mph odd. Amongst other things that have been spanked. And not much would touch the eg/ek in the corners with a half decent setup. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My EK only had our engine with bolt ons, 185 she dynod at IIRC but a kerb weight of about 900kg, cage and all the suspension mods made it amazing in the corners.
