chAi whos the idiot now.. seems like you wouldnt know ur dick from ur ass.
as Supra_Saiyan mentioned, the japanese STi are equiped with an EJ20, a 2.0L boxer motor.
Bunta aint exactly ur redneck yank like yourself is he?
i was defending the civic... as im a Honda driver. But still the point remains that the civic and miata are designed for track use, not drags.
Also, only the civic type R is equiped with the 9k rpm revving B16B. one of the higher power per litre output n/a engines (assuming EK9 chassis) as the new EP3 CTR is equiped with a K series motor.
Most other dohc vtec civics only rev out to 8k. And as i mentioned before, you'd never even seen a CTR in your life. as its not eligible for import to America or even Australia for that matter.
"secondly, civics are decent"
hahahha dont make me laugh, pretending u know shit.
Plenty of rwd cars on the market under 30k in Japan, so stop pullin shit out of ur ass.
Supra_Saiyan is right. looks like theyre running during the day in heat.
Only goes to show how fucked up a movie FnF is. Its bred all these wannabes who live vicariously through movies and anime...
chAi = [smiley=poischich.gif] (you never had any credibility to lose it) you have just OWNED yourself.

All cars are not eligble for import for all countries and their citizens, ie toyota chasers and honda civic type r are not eligble for import in australia unless you are on a 2 year working visa or via illegal rebirthing methods. Go read your DOTARS before you bother to argue this point for australian cars.
mx-5 is a great car ... if your a girl... or if you have a cams licence and actually do track racing in australia so do more research or actually go to oran park raceway before you talk.
Honda engines actually get more praise from motorcar review magazines because its na engines are better designed than most other car manufacturers who must bolt on turbines to make up for their crappy (and inability to) designed engines.
And yes, lets all compare a smaller capacity honda engine (1.6 litre sohc) to a boxer turbocharged engine 2 litre dohc turbo). there is only a $25,000au difference in their prices and their capacity. Gee i wonder which car would win in a race (if the guy using a ek4 spent that difference in money to tune his/her car [smiley=biggrin.gif])
If you wanted a true comparison try putting you put a Sti against a Monaro (Pontiac GTO) which only has a difference of $5,000 or a SS which is less than the Sti. The Monaro or SS would smoke the Sti with ease. (FYI the subaru would also breakdown alot more than the Monaro/SS over its lifetime and would probably have a even lower resale value unless you were fortunate enough to score a limited ed handmade wrx)
Supra_Saiyan:
^ You can import chasers now
My friend has imported the first JZX100 Chaser Tourer V in Canberra.
However we cant import the Tourer S models cos the 1jz-ge doesnt make our power to weight ratio requirements and so can't be complied.
The tourer V is an awesome car
HSV GTO
6 Litre V8
0-100kph Man = 5.2 sec
RRP $78, 690 AUD (base model, no options)
Subaru WRX STi (australian spec..the jap one is faster)
2 Litre Turbo Boxer
0-100kph MAn = 5.5 sec
RRP $56, 630 AUD
Can you really compare a GTO with a STi? $22, 060 price difference. you're comparing a SIX LITRE v8 to a TWO LITRE Flat 4. I'd rather buy an STi, use the $20000 and spend it on suspension mods, possibly some power/drivetrain mods and smoke you at any track. Besides, you are buying a QUALITY car when purchasing an STi(eg recaro bucket seats, brembo brake callipers, grippy potenza tires). It's not like its the best car ever made as usagi yojimbo thinks but its value for money compared to local offerings
Dont believe these figures?

vorani what did i said?
"it just have to comply to whatever the country's standards the car is arriving at... "
what im saying is that u can export any car out of japan...the japan government cant stop u from taking it out of japan....
oh yeah theres a few chasers for sale here 2....
y do ppl so eager to flame other ppl...
mx5 is great handling car.... every car got its good points and bad points... but 120kw for the turbo mx5...no matter how u look at it its way underpower...esp for track....unless all ur cars r na 4 cylc cars...
and how is a 2L 4 cycl true comparison with a 5L v8?? my maths is not that good but aint that more than double the engine size?
