Hi all. Like a lot of car nuts, I feel compelled to write about my car journey on here. I've always loved cars and now I'm hitting middle age I finally will soon be the proud owner of a double garage. Basically, we've not even exchanged contracts and I'm already committed on a new car... priorities right?!So how did I settle on this car? I was originally looking at Alfa 156 GTA, Focus RS mk1, Integra Type R DC2. These were all hero cars I used to read about in magazines. As I've got older my driving tastes have changed.

The 20VT is much more refined than the 16vt and (imho) sounds a lot better with its 5-pot warble. However, the 16vt is entertaining in an early 90 s boost-tastic way. Lots of lag, followed by lots of boost. The nature of the boost was engaging when it was in an Integrale, but going through the front wheels only, it can make for a challenging drive. Fit good tyres .There s lots of excellent knowledge and enthusiasm out there and there s still a handful of very capable specialists. Some parts are obsolete now, but the specialists can usually re-purpose other stuff, and some have parts remanufactured.Good luck - rare sight on the roads now.Thanks Nigel. It sounds like you have a wealth of experience with these cars. There were/are a couple of very sorted and highly tuned examples for sale that looked exciting. I was tempted but decided I'd rather go for a back to standard approach or close to that.Good shout on the tyres, the only powerful fwd I've ever had was years ago, an old golf gti pd150. What tyres do you recommend for 16" wheels?I hope so regarding the parts. I'm looking forward to the ownership journey.
