Hi Guys,
Pretty new around here. So thought of opening a topic to chat about anything about cars under the sun. I just got my license this year. Been driving my dad's auto accord. But no kick leh....haha...wan to feel the torque under my feet. Hear you guys tok about DC5, civics and skylines, really make me Gian...not to race...jsut to test drive.WOOT.
Personally i like the DC5 for it's appearance. The S2000 is pretty cool too. Which cars u think in the japanese category rules??Using power, handling and appearance to derive at that conclusion.
Is mazda good? Also, last Fri saw alot of modified mazdas at S11 tht stretch around 11pm. Woo. Heard mazda's engine pretty unreliable after about 5000km on the mileage meter.
Comments?Also, where can i see races?hehe...im just a young kid trying to fulfil his fantasy.

For the best cars in the jap cat, personally I think the top 2 cars are the Skyline GT-R and the EVO.
The Skyline is AWD, with a electronically controlled torque split between its front wheel and rear wheels, which means torque is directed to the set of wheels which need it most. The chassis is good and stiff, and it makes for an awesome touring car. This year it almost won the Nurburing 24 hours enduro race, and certainly is the only jap car monster enough to mix it with the Vipers, Opel DTMs, Audi DTMs and Porsche GTs to fight for top honours. Looks-wise, its very brutal, very menancing and muscular.
The EVO is another AWD car, with similar electronic trickery to the Skyline. It is simply awesome because of the way the car feels so taut and so precise thru corners. A test done by Autocar(i think) in UK with the WRX STi and the EVO had the EVO coming 4 seconds faster than the STi, even beating the time set by a Lamborghini Murcielago set earlier. Also, winning 4 straight WRC champoinships speaks volumes about the car's ability. It has a very purposeful look about it, and screams business when viewed from all angles.
Mazda is good, especially their rotary engines, but those are the engines that were previously unreliable once the mileage starts piling on. The latest rotary offering in the RX-8, has addressed this problem by moving the interior exhaust port inlet, so most of the reliability probs are solved. This engine was just awarded the best engine by an international panel of 22 automobile journalists, which certainly shows how good it is. as for the modded mazdas at S11, well, that stretch at night is part of an illegal racing circuit so its not very suprising. -
Wahh Prof Heng,, you so knowledgeable , i read ur replies & get so inspired& impressed..in fact a little turn on lar..hahaha...
steady lar bro!!!
p.s. I order EVO9.5TI Ltd Edition liaoz...

But 4 me jap cars i think the S2000 gets my vote...EVO and skyline is in a diff. class cos it's 4WD and turbocharged s2000 is a Rwd and Naturally aspirated car...and BTW that was nt auotcar lar... it was top gear who did that test...u sld have tt clip wad...EVO8 vs WRX STI..S11? yeah...but now TP is always on the lookout thereOriginally posted by HENG@:ok let me ans u one by one.

It's not uncommon for few other mags to be there too. BUt then on the subject of speed , it's each to his own preference..whether you got a EVO or WRX,both are winners.How often do u get a EVO7/8 on road & wan a challenge wz WRX?..veri dangerous too!! Personally I love the WRX growl. cheers -
