I like the DC2's - quite an extreme little performance car. Allways thought I'd own one - but then along came the FTO. Performance AND looks does it for me.

It's hardly the same thing. There's a hell of a lot more than a front bumper in the difference between them.

I hope you're talking about the Integras!

I suppose given that there's so many Integras on Irish roads, they can afford to differentiate.

Yeah that's sort a what I mean. Imagine how unmanageable a meet could get if it was any model Integra.

Agreed. Wouldn't it be great to be able to line up 10 white or 10 red FTOs for the one shot! On the flip side, theres a certain amount of satisfaction in knowing that the FTO is a rarer sight on the roads.

Absolutely love the DC2s... smashing engine, nice styling, recaros...

Shame they're all knobs that drive them :lol:

Just kidding although a few too many knackers bring down the image of a type R badge, not to mention insurance companies think theyre the devil :twisted:

Them lads at the meet look after their cars well.... nice pics!
