I have had a couple of cars that talk but I chose the user name as I like talking about cars.

Re: Bought a CTR but still have zs180
Thread on the honda jizz owners site has been locked, shame as I signed up to defend myself as several posts have personal digs at me but by the time I was allowed to post it had been locked.

Nor me, I do however own (well, co-own) a Rover :lol:

Bought it a couple of weeks back with a mate with the plan of doing one of those banger rallys next year. If the idea goes cold though I will probably just kill it with fire instead.

That sounds a right laugh, just hope it holds up rather than implode on start up :wink:
Is it a rebadged rover 45 with a big old wing bolted on the boot and 180 stickers on the wing?

Its an L reg 620i (with the Honda engine woot!)

60-oddK on the clock with 8 months MOT and 2 months tax (going cash that in)

Finished in traditional Rover green with beige velour trim

Standard Omni price - £200

Unfortunately I was so un-inspired by it that it never even occured to me to get any photos. My mate wants to do the Rust-to-Rome trip in it but its about 4000 miles and costs a fair whack, so looking at alternatives.

Re: Bought a CTR but still have zs180
it makes me laugh when i hear folk say stuff like " a ctr will completely kill a zs 180 "....it will not, a ctr has 20 bhp more thats it, to really kill another car you need 100 bhp more than them, 20 bhp is very little .
Even around a lap of a race track its only worth a second at best.
I used to post on the civic forum and i often mentioned my zs and they would all laugh......so i did the usual and offered to meet them at trackdays....not one ever turned up, despite that i often met with many ctr's on trackdays and i never saw one that i couldnt use as a mobile chicane. I remember one at bedford with a magazine there doing a feature on it as it was super charged and all the rest blah blah blah, running 400 horse power, in 1 lap i went from being 100 metres behind to 200 metres in front with half the power....and yeah they say he obviously wasnt trying .....well thats funny because the ctr driver came to speak to me, and his jaw hit the floor when i told him my cars power, but what really shocked him was how he just couldn't live with the zs through the corners..lol
The ctr boys laugh when you say the zs will out handle them , they forget its basically an integra dc2 chassis, which was noted as being just about thebest front driver ever.

i got banned from that mg club yesterday, just for saying they should move with the times and that rover went under because they were flogging a 15 year old car with an mg badge. All true stuff but obviously they dont realise this.
