I'd sooner ditch the windows' e-motors in this cold, soggy climate. It's great for de-fogging the car.

sorry a1ex but you are rather a good example of cascade failure

@newkid:

@LewisH: it doesnt have, sun roof or cruise control. these were never an option on the type S, them being deemed too heavy for it. It does have aircon but its from japan and their summers NEED aircon.

I know I'd miss my 4WS dialling out understeer in tight corners (and everything else it makes brilliant), but I think I probably need to try an ATTS car sometime.

I think it could be part of the reason I don't like this lude any more! Fingers crossed I can get an s, and then leave it standard

A standard S after your ripsnorter will bore you quickly.

@newkid: type S threads always are. opinions flying everywhere and lots of missinfo.

Type S is the daddy Prelude, anyone who argues it isn't needs to sit down.

I have certainly started a good post. And im now very interested in having a go in a Type-s / someone taking me out in one. only reason for looking at boost, is because ive never owned a boosted car.

If you've never owned a boosted car, you're probably better off buying one which is supposed to be turbo'd first. That way (I'm speaking from experience here) you can see how you get on with the FWD torque steer and mid corner washouts before you spend a fortune making something you might not like...

My last car was rather... scary on corners and it was only N/A. But being a 980kg car with 220bhp at the wheels if caught wrong / trying to accelrate wrong i had nothing other then rubber trying to keep me on the road. My lude will have the 4ws taken off it as well.

The only way i'll know if i like it, is if i do it. Feck sake lol!
