No way where you gonna keep up with that ek9, nearly the same power as the vxr but a good bit lighter and it looked like it was being driven well. Fair play for having a go tho
I'm currently booked in for uprated injectors and a stage 2 already bought the forge intercooler just need to fit it. shame it popped on you, I compression tested mine about a month ago and was 190, 190, 190, 185 so good to go I think
Retrocade 81 yeah mine was all good on compression also piston 4 was actually the highest which surprised me because everyone said about p4 but mine was just due to the vac line popping off then shooting to much boost so my fault really because I knew the nipple on the boost controller was fucked, but you’ll love it mate go stage 3 , it just pulls super strong for a 1.6
Gutted!! such a small silly thing caused so much damage too. Yeah I may do I only have a cat back cobra at the moment but looking at a Remus 3 piece to replace it.
Was that fitted with a Dv or was it just an uprated recirculation valve and induction kit with the mic under the bonnet cos it sounds awesome! Just fitted a turbosmart recirc and ram air filter to my arctic and while it sounds 10x louder it doesn't sound like that lol 😂 😂
Retrocade 81 all I had at this time was a pipper cross air filter and a boost controller with the boost slightly turned up, that’s why you’ll hear more turbo noise from mine, get a remap and you’ll get the exact same mate
Wow,the EK9 is for me the best hot hatch ever,but i like Corsa, i have a Corsa C and Honda Civic Eg4. Your car is stock? :D Great driving skills,EK9 is a monster machine but Corsa VXR is a great car.Nice video man ;)
Emad Dw ye you can I did in my Subaru went round an ep3 type r I had to slow down behind him on motorway waiting for him to move over thought he was good unless you turbo them
Retrocade 81 hahaah yeah let me know dude, putting whole car on the vxr group soon just to get it out the way so if your on there you’ll see at some point
Yeah I know what you mean been there myself with my MR2 Turbo which blew its guts everywhere lol. These M32 boxes are shit aswell but when this one goes I'm gonna get all the sprockets upgraded, Ive got to keep hold of this car as my mum bought it for me as one of her dying wishes and sadly she passed away last July. So its having serious money thrown at it!

Guy in civic has bigger balls.
Far better handling car.
@@AquzdHD Better handling from factory, better built from factory, stronger engine from factory! Vxr just shit
cant touch hondas on b roads... FACTS
Chris what do you drive?
@Chris lol proper cars... son ur ford kuga aint worth hyping about so pipe down 😂
Well done Bro.
That's rapid 🙈
He's got a death wish in the civic like
haha you got that right, the corners dont look to bad on camera but my god the speed we was at i wasnt having non of it
JbCentral hahaha, and I can imagine mate😂 can't beat a back road but even the small corners that look like nowt are deadly sometimes.
George C yeah definitely are mate at that speed
That corsa was fucking doing well considering it’s a 1.6
evsy21201 problem was the vxr doesn’t handle as well as the ek9 but as you can hear I let off quite a few times, props to the driver tho sound guy
The Ek9 is a 1.6 non turbo 😂
Well in that case you’ve done extremely well, I’m all out of trophies but here’s a thumbs up 👍. 😂
evsy21201 🤦🏼♂️

Retrocade 81 buy my 3inch cobra turbo back with decat it’s the bomb and will get you more bhp when mapping
how much you after for it? Also what area u in?
Retrocade 81 About 600 , done less that 1k miles on it it’s still that new, it’s decat non res and n.e Lincolnshire
Oh BTW is the Cobra dual exit like a burg? or is it single exit?
Retrocade 81 single mate

Michał Pw just got a boost controller that's all, there was me plus 1 in my car he was on is own, amazing car tho, hondas for the corners
You can never catch up to a vtec when it kicks in is going it ain’t stopping
Emad Dw ye you can I did in my Subaru went round an ep3 type r I had to slow down behind him on motorway waiting for him to move over thought he was good unless you turbo them
SMUG-STIG an EP3 will never be quicker than an Impreza in a straight line but driven on the twisties you may be surprised
Goodbye piston 4
I didn't expect that from an ek9
more props to the driver more than anything, but the suspension on the type r's are incredible , just handles like a dream
JamieRS500 you under estimate 90's Honda's haha! An ek4 would out perform a corsa vxr on a B road
Ej9Adam I quite believe it, Honda's are pretty well built.
Corsa would of had it in the straights because turbo kicks in quicker then vtec but nothing compares to a civic on corners but I still like a vxr
civic is ace on corners
A corsa will run out of steam top end, vtec yoooo keeps going!
Watch that p4 😂
I'll have a think and get back to you got to wait til payday and see what I come out with us mechanics don't earn much lol 😂
Retrocade 81 hahaah yeah let me know dude, putting whole car on the vxr group soon just to get it out the way so if your on there you’ll see at some point
There's a few other bits I need didn't know you was breaking her bud
Retrocade 81 got to get the money back some how hahaah gear box has lost 4th engine is knackered 😂 I’m fucked lol
Yeah I know what you mean been there myself with my MR2 Turbo which blew its guts everywhere lol.

Retrocade 81 build a good car then buddy just make it a beast hahaha
Gapped by a Honda 1.6 vtec b16a2 😂😂😂
What can I say vxr was shit 😂
The Honda guy had more balls lol
B16B in an ek9 bruv
