The Nurburgring is sometimes pretty scary i was following another Megane 3 RS it was so hard to keep up and some turns are pretty scary. You need to know by heart the circuit to be efficient, specially the braking points. I saw few crashes, one RS4 and one Golf GTI. You have to think before going full gas hahaha.

Apparently we have a Sonic Grey 19 Civic Type R in stock and ready to go. It's such a nice colour in person, anyone interested? PM me!

Asking because I am planning on moving back to East Van from Mississauga in the late summer/early fall and I'm feeling rather sketched out. Since my FK8 will be an "out of province import" I will need to have her VI'd anyway and I'm hoping the sticker on the windshield will help. But ultimately I just don't want the hassle of dealing with the pettiness (at least from what I am reading in the VI thread) of the law.

Basically I'm wondering if I should invest in a cheap beater or not.

100% stock on my car, it's still running on the original engine oil.

No issue with the VPD so far. :badpokerface:

Looks like Surrey honda has a black one

I bought my CW from Surrey, they don't add the extra accessories and stuff, just sell for MSRP. I put myself on their "list" last August, and by september they had called me about 2 whites and a red.

There is a Rebuilt title Canadian spec 1998 Type R at bcauctions.ca

bids open until Friday.

It was listed as a former emergency service vehicle. I wonder if it was used as a bait car?

Yes it may have been. I bet it has sat for many years in a storage compound with VPD. The ICBC report was posted to craigslist and I have a screenshot of it.

Prostrho 05-22-2019 11:29 AM

Judging by the valve cover. I can't see this being a 89k KM car unless it's been tracked a whole lot ?

TouringTeg 05-22-2019 08:27 PM

Likely has a JDM motor since it was stolen multiple times.

Sorry guys, third Mégane's gen to have the fwd crown on the Nurburgring :toot::spamarama:

320icar 05-23-2019 06:47 PM

I kind of discredit it. Look at the parts list from a “factory car”. Throw carbon fibre wheels, electronic ohlins dampers, etc etc on a CTR and it would probably take it back. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yes but you can still buy the car, not like the Civic which has the record (cheeeeattttterrrrr). I had Ohlins on my M3RS and on my Downhill bike (no one can service it in Canada lol) too. Even if i'm French i have less respect for Honda, Toyota and Nissan because they are thieves. I have few Peugeot, Renault engineers in my family and they basically told me how Japaneses and Chineses stole our technologies. Sorry but i hate thieves, Citroën democratized FWD so it's normal for PSA and Renault to be the best one. Also it's easy for Michelin and Renault to make a way faster car but thanks to Macron and Hollande we can't with the Co2 emissions ($15000 of tax just for the car). That's why the M4RS has a 1.8 turbo and the the price per litre is $2.5 atm in France lol.

twitchyzero 05-23-2019 07:59 PM

sorry for my old-fashioned arrogant asshole-ness but i could care less about lap times for FWD hatches on a fast circuit like the ring

i wanna see them built and tested in Japan around Tsukuba/Motegi by DK himself

Balrog 05-23-2019 08:34 PM

Idk i only have been to Osaka, Kyoto and Tokyo in Japan. If i want i can import a Peugeot 306 or a Xsara WRC but i guess i will receive a VI every week specially with a French car in BC. Trust me i had a Subaru B4,GTB, Leg, Renault Clio RS, M3RS, Taudi RS4,A1,A4 and the M3RS was the fastest one on a circuit.

tofu1413 05-23-2019 10:03 PM

http://snaplap.s3-us-west-2.amazonaw...sica-puras.jpg

would rock one. people don't know what it is and it was one of the fastest WRC cars on tarmac along with the Peugeot 206....


powered Sebastien Loeb to a few titles too!

twitchyzero 05-23-2019 10:04 PM

trust me i want a clio or new alpine as much as the next guy
i was just ranting about how the performance imports from when we're young are now more American or European...losing a bit of soul now that the cultural/nostalgic factor is gone

68style 05-23-2019 10:44 PM

Don't exaggerate they copy German, French, Italian, American cars specially in the 60-70's.

Japan was like China 50-60 years ago, they were making cheap copies,then they improved i'm not gonna do a history class. Google "Flying geese paradigm" for more informations. Now they are on top, but they used to copy and steal a lot of technologies. They apparently even try to steal the air ride from the Citroen DS.

The sources are from documentaries and ppl who used to work for Peugeot and Renault. I also used to work for Renault too.

Are you claiming that Peugeot and Renault invented or originated the modern/practical car? or did they copy/improve someone else's design?

tofu1413 05-24-2019 10:11 AM

well the people's car was the Ford Model T...........


so everyone copied the Americans??
