Well, if the kid is in fact stupid enough to 1. pay $3,800 for an S4 N/A, and 2. rev at anything that moves, then yes I can understand your wanting to pwn him. I paid $1,900 for my S5 GXL, and I'm still regreting paying that much because I got it with 174,321miles, a burnt out clutch, a mangled driveshaft, and a shady history.

cool_as_crap

do you realize what your car runs bone stock? higher numbers than any fb does. and i'l admit myself, hondas are a fun car, quick in the mountains, easy to tune, easy to do anything with. i just sold my hatch to buy an fc. hondas are just too common. there is so much aftermarket because so many people own and tune hondas, there is just no good way to stand out in one. stock v. stock, fc would own your ***.
but good for stomping that ricer bitch out, i woulda done the same thing

man thats alot with all them miles and problems, im paying 600 for an 86 sport and a really clean shell in and out, with a rebuilt engine, its only a rotary avaition basic kit but still its still new apex seals, and everything else that basic kit comes with. (my homeboy just bought an 93 FD and hes got to get rid of either his ultra clean 88 TII or the NA hes selling me so i guess he chose to keep his TII

I'm not saying i drive a "real" car, stock for stock, quarter mile times of the Civic is actually quicker than that of the 12A FB.

I'll be fair and post the time of the quickest 12A FB listed.

1979 Mazda RX-7 GS 9.2 17.0

And my car.

1995 Honda Civic EX 8.8 16.8

What should i care that my car is common and what others think about it? Afterall, i built my car for myself, not other people.

And my car.

1995 Honda Civic EX 8.8 16.8

This is a joke right?

Your comparing a car from the hippies era to one just a few years old?

O 16581 72452 5

A few years old? My car is 10 years old, the '85 FB is even slower at a 17.4.

What's the joke? Someone tried saying my car was slower stock for stock than any FB, i was posting facts that it indeed wasn't.

Guys give it up. An NA FC got beat. Shut up about "taking it in the twisties". That wasn't the race. The race was a civic vs FC on the highway. Props to O 16581 72452 5 for building a car right, **** if he has a civic. He did it nice by adding real performance and spending the money in the right areas. And stop being all like "well come race my Turbo II, i'll destroy you blah blah". You know what? Go race him then. Until then shut your yap. You didn't race him, an NA FC did, and it lost. What's done is done. Get over it.

First of all, An Integra Type R, a FWD car from the factory would murder your car in all levels in stock trim. And to think higher of your car than a turbo honda that would decimate it? Please. Just because a n/a FC got raped by a honda doesn't mean you have to get pissed and start bad mouthing other peoples cars. I have respect for N/A FC's but don't be an idiot.

breckboarder55

hey hey hey the guy has a nice set up on his civic, at least hes not another idiot ricer, i respect what the guy has done to the car even though it is a civic. Just because its a civic dosent mean its ****. Although i dont think ive ever came across a civic that could even keep up with me were i live. BTW i dont really know were Terre Haute Indianna is but i usually drive up to evansville about twice a year i dont know if your in that area or not, im not to familiar with the roads and what not.
Good Kill man , btw what does your civic run now.
thanks

Evansville is about 80 miles south of me.

I'd estimate it right now in probably low 14s, i raced a Scion tC (15.7 stock) tonight that stock ran even with a friend's Corolla S, he did full catless 2 1/2" exhaust and intake and now walks hard on the Corolla S, so i'd estimate the Scion at a low 15. I ran it from 5k in 2nd to the end of 3rd, 2nd was about even because of turbo lag, i shifted into 3rd, after being in 3rd about 1,500RPMs, i was ahead enough to switch lanes infront of him (just being a smart *** ), then put a few car lengths on it by the end of 3rd.

breckboarder55

good kill, you know of any tracks in that area maybe ill run next time im up there

Ok well talkin factory, what about the Infinity FC and then Integra Type R they are both pretty much only availiable in Japan and stock from the Factory...Compare those two cars instead of a top of the line Integra Type R and a N/A FC. That to me makes more since.

O 16581 72452 5

There's an 1/8 mile track in town, 80 miles is IRP in Indianapolis (1/4 mile). I plan doing more AutoX with it than drag racing though. It's back down for awhile, my oil pan bolts kept coming loose, i overtightened them and split my gasket. My valve cover gasket is also split now, i don't have a job, so it'll take awhile to sell things to get it running again.

The ITR is available in America in the years of '97, '98, and '00.

Thats why I said pretty much because they were mostly availiable in Japan but some still floating around in the states...

clean85owner

Yes! You are correct, sir!

I love when everyone gets their panties in a bunch over an RX-7 losing a race. "WHAT?! T3H 7 CAN'T LOOOSE!!!1111 You drive a turd! It's still a turd! So what what your car runs now, it was still slow stock! Come race me, I will kick your ***!"

Someone will always be faster, and you know what? The majority of the time, the faster guy isn't driving something powered by some doritos on a stick.

Get over it; the FC lost. I can appreciate anyone who puts their own wrench time into their car and can prove their hard work with a nice victory.

Way to go, Honda-boy. **** the haters.

RX7_2ner

My friends supra beats my tii all the time and I don't care.

FB II

well, i must say i've come accross aaaaaaaLOT of turbo hondas here in charlotte, NC. in fact it's like a new trend. out of the mold i think only a couple are over 200rwhp. and those couple have more money in them than i would ever want to spend on any car that cost me less than 2000 bucks. i like this civic in the vid tho, i remember some of the things he did to his FB. LOL the lowering springs were ghetto i'm just glad to see you are enjoying a boosted vehicle! it's addicting and quite a blast!!! but yea man, stop racing these 15 and 16 second cars. next vid you post better be a race against a tII or somethin. then you will start seeing what your car can do. mad props tho, have fun!

oh and is your clutch slipping?

O 16581 72452 5

Exactly, i don't care what the person drives, as long as they've put their own work into it (well, as long as it isn't a primered bondo'd turd), i can appreciate it. As soon as i hear "I put my own work into this to make it this way", i have respect for the car, even if it is a tacky show car, though it's not my cup of tea, i can still respect what they've gone through to make it what it is.

I feel a true automotive enthusast should have that attitude, i don't care what it is, as long as it's fast (or an extremely well done show car) and they've put their hard work into it, i respect it, be it a Hot Rod, a Muscle Car, or even a Truck.

I didn't chose a Civic to build, i bought it for a daily driver to build my AE86, out of frustration of losing a tire on the side of the road in the 86 and being stranded, i traded it straight for a piece of **** Integra to get me home. I was then had a Civic or Integra to build, since the Civic was nicer, i built it. Believe me, i hate the Honda community as much as the rest of you, a small percentage is very good techs, the rest are morons with body kits.

O 16581 72452 5

Unfortionately, there's not much around here that's not 15, 16, or 22 second cars.

My clutch is slipping a bit, i'm not sure what's up with that, seems to be going away slowly however. *shrug*

Ah, my beloved GSL-SE.



Hehe, Neon front bumper made to fit, Hyundai Accent lowering springs in the rear that i have no idea how they didn't fall out.
Rice cannon, fire!



I ruined that car, being 16 was a bad time to own a car as beautiful as this was.

i rode in a turbo B16 old as CRX today running 8lbs from a T25 (yes, a tiny T25) and it pulled pretty damn good. i was impressed. turbo hondas usually dont **** around, there are several fast ones in my area.

i'd like to run a turbo honda or two, they are usually fast.

Romancer

That isn't the point. The guy said that FWD cars were not made to perform. And he said that the only way the do perform is because of the aftermarket. The Type-R clearly proves him wrong.

RX7_2ner

A high 14 to low 15 sec car clearly does prove him wrong...

O 16581 72452 5

What does a redneck race have to do with handling?

Besides, look at the times for the TIIs.
