hot hatch no 1 meets no 2
8) Always loved the Integra in red with the anthracite alloys.
Took a few of my Trophy, missus' Williams and my mates Integra and 205 recently, but I'm so crap at photography I decided not to post them, but seeing as this thread now exists here they are!

Off down the pub was he? :wink:
Sorry, bad joke, that's a great picture, I can't believe you didn't post that before, you must have some great road trips. I still want to own a Williams for while, just so I've owned all of the best hatches of all time. No real interest in the Integra, I don't see the point in FWD in anything other than a hatch, If I was after a Honda sports car, I'd get an S2000. I might change my mind after driving one though...

don' tthink you would. They bring a smile to your face when you hit 7k revs and it keeps going!! Great sound from them also.

It was back when he was with his missus, and was really under the thumb! Had to get home quick-smart!
The only one of the cars from the pic I've really ever shared the road with is the missus' Williams, on a tight twisty road there's not much in it, but when the straights appear it's bye bye Williams! :twisted:
Football, Cricket, Cars - she's a good lass, but on the other hand she's really messy and has to be forced into helping out with the housework, swings and roundabouts and all that! :lol:
Even let her do a couple of laps of the 'Ring last year in my 172, not sure I'd be able to do the same in the Trophy though...just in case! :lol:

Hee hee that's funny. My missus moans about me driving too fast occasionally but she made the mistake of laughing once when I slung it round a corner particularly fast so I know she loves it now (or it could have been nervous laughter?), and after nailing a particularly tasty section of road in Wales she was grinning like a Cheshire cat.
How does the Integra fair against the Trophy in a straight line? On paper it's a quicker car, to 60 at least, but it's torque figure isn't that high and it's got a bit of extra weight to haul. Must have good ratios. The 205 GTI always did well in the 0-60 against cars with a greater power/weight (ie. Williams) because it hit 65mph in second, so you only had to nail one gearchange to make a good getaway. As long as you managed the rampant wheelspin off the start!

Never been up against the Teggy, although my mate reckons he's out dragged a couple of 182's... but then again he would! :roll:
From the passenger seat I would say they are very even, but that's not exactly scientific. It is an awesome car though, and the Coupe layout makes it feel a bit more special than your regular hot hatch.

A mate at Uni had his Dad's Prelude 2.2i for a while, that felt like a proper sports car (even though it isn't) because of the coupe layout, works for the Corrado too. Can't use the argument of not being able to get in the back when you've got a Trophy either!
