I've still got a couple of hondas, and my b18c civic isn't shy. It ran a quicker time than my stock FD3s ever did anyway.

In fact if you look a the all motor scene in australia, it's dominated by hondas, rotary mazdas and vw's. I haven't looked at the rankings in a while, but my mates AH civic was right at the top last time i checked.

 

nsx's are nice to look at i agree arnt that fast

 

i hate 90% of the hondas out there but thats because there peices of ****. my buddy has a late 80's hatch (the crx body style) i dont know what year exactly cause im not into hondas, but he has a H22 swap built up hardcore and he runs a 100 shot of NOS. plus its compleatly gutted... econobox or not this thing is ****** quick and fun to drive to it feels like a go-cart lol

 

was the civic stock?(besides the engine swap)
if it was than thats hard to believe.

 

B18c in like an ef hatch is going to be light and pretty quick. Same thing with an H22 in a crx or civic. Stock can get in 13's.

 

yeah i watched him run with no nitrous on street tires he ran a 14.0 then he threw slicks on and dropped a full second!!!!

 

BTW what is the best honda engine? b16 b18 h22?

 

its all about hook up and launch and tune...

 

H22 defanitly,i was going to do an H22 swap in my prelude,but then i traded it for an 88 vert.ither way H22 is the fastest honda motor if built properly.

 

imprezas are family cars trying to be fast?. you got a lot to learn man, an impreza is a true sports car, so you're saying that imprezas today that are making 400,500,600whp are just trying to be fast?? give me a break man. if you look at the tunning scene, the subaru imprezas are on top of the list along with evos etc. imprezas aren't trying to be fast, THEY ARE.

 

H22's are great if you leave them n/a, but they are a very poor base to start slapping FI on. I believe the F22's are the prime FI candidate of the prelude engines, but don't quote me on that, heh. As for "best" small displacement, vtec engine, i would say k20.

 

k20 hell yeah, if you can afford the swap...

B16 is good if you're going to boost it. B18 vtec is good, I'm not a fan of LS. H22 is a great all motor engine. My cousin has built a lot of hondas, so I usually ask him for advice. He currently has a 91 crx with a b18c1 swap. He had an h22 with an h2b kit and b16 trans in it, but he didn't have the funds to finish the swap so he traded the h22 for the gsr. Car is mint as hell and is very quick. I think he may be boosting it. Yay no traction haha.

 

I can definitely give props to well built hondas, but if someone is thinking that his vtec brings all the girls to the yard, he deserves a reality check.

 

some hondas are nice granted may not be fast in a straight line but a built NSX or S2000 on a track is a force to reckon with.

 

ha haha evo's i could probly beat an evo with my lifted jeep cherokee.evos are worse then imprezas.the only good subey ever made is the brat,and thats only cus it brafs.and i think you need to learn i thing or two about real cars.

 

If you mean beat the evo as in running it over with your gigantic gas guzzler, than yes you can beat it, but if you mean beating it on the track than you must be mistaken. And what do you mean by real cars?

 

ohhh boy, im gonna stay out of this one, im just gonna let you stay and talk all you want in the little world you're right now. evos and imprezas are crap hahahaha ohhh man you sure are funny but wth is your opinion.

 

i don't know wth he means by real cars man, maybe a f-150 lifted with 26'' mad tyte inch wheels with a 6'' exhaust and a 3 color paint job.

 

Haha....A Suzuki Swift gt is a Real Car!!!!hahah

 

Haha wow, you're just reeking of intelligence

 

I'm rather partial to the Suzuki Samurai.

 

Man you guys are so wrong. Try being objective instead of viewing the car world through FD tinted glasses.



Yes this is an FD forum, yes I love my FD, but most of the Honda hating on this board seems silly to me.

You can't really compare the FD to a Civic. A 15 year old econo-box is of course, "garbage", when compared to a flagship sports car that sold for 3x as much.

I understand "civic" hating, god they are so lame with those spoilers, ugly ebay parts all over, cut springs, welded on "fart-cans". But some people make some very clean and tastefully modded Hondas.

s2000 and NSX are both very good race cars. Admittedly the s2000 is not an easy car to handle, but it is not slow.

I've encountered a good number of well-built, turboed s2000s, that are FAST as hell.

The NSX is not garbage, sorry... It was never intended to be a drag car.

This video is from inside an FD with basic bolt-ons and stock twins vs a built NSX, so naturally the NSX destroys it. We all know a 300hp (bolt-on FD) isn't slow either though.

Oh wait, here's an NSX destroying a built supra in a straight line too:

Watch these with sound to get an idea of the RX7/Supra drivers' reactions to the garbage NSX.

 

It's an OEM engine build up... not stock exactly, but close.

The civic did a 13.6 @105mph, the rx7 ran a 13.8@104mph when stock,

The civic was so much easier to launch too (on cheap *** aftermarket springs and stock shocks ffs).

 

my friend always jokes to me that my 1.3 isnt the only one that can make power...lol...he has the little 1.3 dual cam swift gt, its pretty quick tho for wat it is but still no match for the bridge port...hehe

 

I'm so tempted to pick one up, I've been wanting one for a while. I love zuks.
