i never said it was stock. Just amazing that a 4 Cyl NA motor car pull off a 9...

 

honda is quite good at making fast 4cyl n/a. who needs a turbo? hot honda, thats who!

 

Thats impossible. The guy doesn't have a job and would have to sell his soul in order to get the money to buy such a thing.

 

So uhh w/e happened to this. Lemme guess you lost and didnt want anyone to know.

 

ahahhahhahhahahhahahhahhahahaha.
you are such a tool

 

Nah he keeps bitchin out on the race saying its to wet or he doesn't wanna go to that side of town or whatever. But once school starts their is no way he can bitch out because their will be about 50 people pressuring him into the race. I really need a video camera though. Anyone wanna ship me one then i will ship it back....hahahaha.

 

Still a Honda......and yea, it's fast the 9 sec 1/4 and the fact that its a 2.4L 4cyl WITHOUT turbo, WITHOUT Nitrous......

you all contradict everything...ooooh Hondas aren't no drag cars, no they arent i agree...but can easily be built for it. That RSX is proof. It's funny you hate, because that little NA 4 cylinder will always be faster than any car you own or could build hahaha.

And for those of you that say Honda's aren't race cars....just check out the Honda World Challenge circuit cars. DAMN ******* FAST I saw them at Hyperfest at Summit point, lapping everyone!.....

gotta give respect in those cases

 

Jokes like this dumbasses above are so ******* lame....Hey guess what buddy, I heard that one in 7th grade! You're probably still in it.

 

Ooooh so he had people in the car with him...at least 2 other people...What mods to your FD...

Because a GSR bored toi 2.0 and minor boltons, should run a low 14 somewhere around there. And if your stock you can't be too much faster. It sounds to me like this car isn't tuned as well as it should be, AND he had 2-3 other people in the car with him! And the way you started this thread sounded kind of ignorant. I don't care if the kid in the Honda is talking **** or not, handle it better, brush him off man.

 

Nice ownage

 

he had like 3 people with him. my car isnt stock. at that time it had less mods than now but way more power. im just waiting to get a video camera and the race is on.

 

WITHOUT a rear suspension, WITHOUT the stock chassis...
The only thing left that's Honda on that car is the valve cover.

Easily built? HAH! I can break 9's with a full interior and everything; just hand me an LS7.

The companies that built them certainly get my respect, but the fanboys that jump all over them acting like any backyard mechanic can build a 9 second Honda with chump change don't. Anyone with enough money can build a one-off race car that's great at anything they choose. Even then, in the grand scheme of things, 9's are at best a mediocre time for an all out drag car.

 

sony handycam soon. so hopefully a the insane kill will be up soon.

 

Honda > The Entire Automotive Industry

 

Actually, an EF with a GSR motor bored out to 2.0 liters, will do WAY better than a 14. Your average EF runs low 14s with a b16a and simple bolt-ons, like intake, header, and exhaust, and with a decent (not super good, just decent) driver. Now, the b18c1 is a far superior motor, being as it has better cams, more displacement, more torque due to a longer stroke, and different combustion chamber design. And then you have the b18c and b18c5 (the Integra Type R motors, for those of you who don't know), which are very similar to the GSR engines, but tuned better. Meaning, it has different fuel maps, even better cams, better valve springs, higher compression, and the head flows better. Now, if you take any of those engines and bore it out, you EASILY are down to 13s in an EF, especially if you upgrade the valvetrain and get it dyno tuned. Now, I'm gonna take a guess and say the civic the guy who started this thread raced probably had started with the b18a or b18b out of the Integra LS, which is DOHC, non vtec, and only have 130hp for the b18a, and 140 or so hp for the b18b. And if you have vast doubts about what a honda is capable of, just go to homemadeturbo.com, where there are plenty of people who have built cheap, custom, junkyard builds, and get their cars to go a lot faster than your avereage ricer. And all in their front yard. Now, I'm not dissing anyone, simply pointing out that a honda is great for a high school/college student who wants a budget weekend warrior. It's light, handles decently, and there is great aftermarket support for it.

 

i stopped right here because this is an ignorant statement.

the car you described is a motor with wheels, that is all i will describe it as so you can decipher that into however you want.

 

This is true. It is great for someone that wants a decently fast car that must be an FF import. If you want to be fast in a straight line for cheap there are much better options such as older V8's, and if you want to be insane around the turns and have the ability to be fast in a straight line for cheap why not get a Miata? The Civic is only chosen because it became the icon of tuning when its potential surprised most of the automotive community, but now it has been played out and it's time to look at vehicles that are actually something special.

 

This is a good point, but in my personal experience, I've found it much cheaper to go the route of the civic. Maybe in different areas of the U.S./world, other options are cheaper.
Think about it: you can pick up a decent 4th generation civic for less than $1000- $1500 with hardly any rust or body damage at all. Then, pick up a b-series (usually whichever you can find a deal on, I personally found a b16a for free ) and all the hardware to install it into the car. Now, if you've spent over $3500, you're doing soimething wrong. So, again, you've got a good base car with some power behind it (BTW, IMHO, these 4-banger have great powerbands, 'specially for the weight of the cars they're in), and for relatively cheap, get some decent suspension (tokico illuminas are about $300, decent springs are usually less than another $300). Now, you've got a deacent car to get around in that is both reliable and fairly quick compared to anything else you (I) can get for that price.

If you're not satisfied (I wasn't, for the record), it's pretty cheap to go turbo, whether you piece together your own kit (cheapest), or buy one from somewhere (easiest).

You're an idiot. Look for a dyno chart sometime.

[Edit:] If I were to go for anything lower than 10's on a stock chassis, I probably wouldn't go with a Honda.

 

At my local car auctions I can find 1st gen Miatas for

 

i thought he was talking about an EJ coupe

By the way it's ED not EF

I've owned a couple ED's i know what they are capable of. I'm building an all motor 12sec ED8 right now on stock internals ;-)

 

I finally raced him. Got the video. Now I gotta find somewhere to get it hosted. Does anyone have any suggestions?

 

Ok got it on youtube. Here it is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ffGsl2zkPKw

The first race was alot better. I started in 1st instead of 2nd. I did this just to let him get some kind of advantage. Im still at stock boost. He has pretty much everything except turbo and nitrous.

 

i was out at the local drag course and up comes this 800hp civic with slicks all the way around...(still FWD) but i watched him race and he didnt catch traction till 4th gear and by then he was 3/4s of the way down the track.....

im not much for civics or integras but this was amazing.......

 

I'll take a C5 Z06 or an LS1 powered FD ANYDAY over some fast N/A civic. Easy 10's and 11's out of those cars and still be able to drive them on road trips with comfort and class. Oh yeah, and still have great handling to boot.

 

most people are more familiar with EF, since that's what the chassis code is from the motherland of Honda
