and lsd in the white ctr's

Are you not thinking of the FN2 Championship White Edition with the LSD?

At any rate, the DC-5 beats a Civic in my books, unless it's a Mugen Civic but then there's the Mugen DC-5  :evil:

Not to knock the MPS R32, but for me it doesn't quite capture the essence of Jap in the same way that a Type R does. Don't get me wrong, the engine in the MPS is great - plenty of power and torque, but when I think of Jap I instantly think of high revs. That's Type R territory.

I went jap and never looked back, the revs just keep climbing..........  :laugh:

Strange when you see what a german car with the same size lump puts out compaired to a jap one....

Integra for sure........ but there's loads of fun to be had..

Altezza (Beams)
Celica 190
RX8's with a good service history?
350z?

Or you could go nuts..

Supra
R33
S15...

An STI?! If its a WRX then they are slow and thirsty so makes sense.
