No the other owner here Matt drove, and I negotiated the races. The civic ran a 10.86 in testing, so that means my car should run pretty good on a timed 1/4 mile.
Basically the negotiations are everything. You could run a 14 second car against a 9 second car and win if you negotiate right. Our car was faster, and we negotiated better in the end. You'll have to excuse me now...I have a pink car to flat black now... :D |
So which FC was this? The Silver one or the one you have listed as Drag on your site?
Congrats!!! |
Yeah, pics of the FC... and engine bay!

I find it hard to believe a D-series SOHC ran 10's unless we're talking a shit-load of money and / or extensive lightening to get it to run that fast.
Basically, it's not street-legal even in the broadest sense? Unless a Hondata (or anyone of those piggy back crap) has gotten signfiicantly complex in the last several years, this implies full stand-alone EMS to run that kinda power. The SOHC is not going to produce power like that "stock". So we're talking like a $10k motor? That's full built - pistons, con rods, crank, etc. Even throwing money at a D-series SOHC motor is a waste of time - no one wants it. B-series / H-series DOHC stuff is still in hot demand. -Ted |
The ECU it's running is a stocker with a neptune, or something like that. Programmable, and it still has a WB02 on it, minus the controller. Most of the guys that were running the sportsman class in NHRA this past year were running Hondata, and a handfull of them are in the 9's. The car is not near street legal at all, nor is my FC. The D16 is fully built, minus sleeves. Full head work is also there. I would guess street value of the engine work and parts to be about $6-7K
The FC that raced was my white one, which is listed under the Project Drag FC3S on our site. I will have some pics uploaded to our site tomorrow of both cars. The pics of the FC are a bit outdated. |
i do admit, i watch a civic hatch someday. Some NA maybe shoot for about 200hp. Mostly for some spirited back road driving, just something fun to toss around thats FF

Can. If the wind is right, the stars are aligned, and the throttle is barely being depressed.

haha, still though, that's damn impressive for a big powerful V8.
Ford's lucky to get 12mpg with their V8s. |
