Race?

[customcarsff]

the key to beating a civic is in the begining and the end. civics are light and quick so there gonna get you right off the line at first. thats why you keep your reaction time as low as possible. then you just gotta punch it and let your torque rip that little civic 4banger into vtec sticker having shreds. on my old cavy i had a C-Tech decal on the side, all the civic owners thought that chevy made a C-tech to compete with honda. i was just like no my low Liter friends its a stock 2.4L.


P.S. another way to beat a honda is to take a 2Liter (about .4L more than a honda) of coke or pepsi shake it up and open it down the track. it will beat a honda 94% of the time only down side is they both sound the same going down the track. (brrrrrrrrrpppppppppppppdddddddddddddd....yes 16 seconds 1/4 mile)

Pop the hood, check ricers engine. Read the code on the block, and see if its dual or single cam. Look for nitrous lines/Selonoids. Should give you a good idea of what you're up against.

my friend's... crx runs 11's.. minues the direct port.... replaced w/ big ole stickie ickies.. he's currently tearing apart my grandma while i'm class tomorrow...

And how much money is put into it? Compete, from suspension to motor to drivetrain.

if i would have seen this earlier i would have posted. somethin cheap and semi effective u can do to ur car is the IAT trick in the mods section on the main page. i did this and ran it pretty hard for awhile and noticed a little difference. might be too late now but fyi.

You do it to cool down the engine as much as you can. The cooler the engine the better it runs, the cooler the air the better it runs..... nuff said.

can you say "no KNOCK!"

duh.... that is why you ice down the intake charge.....our cars have internal knock sensors!

Thats a good reason to run high octane fuel as well.

[95-GT]

Hmmm, $4/gal or $2 for a bag of ice.

hey bud, my car has been for sale for a while...i just now put a thread on this site... you seem to like to talk a lot of shi* ... as far as the race goes the kid pussed out, so i raced a chevy truck with a 305 in it... beat it by about a little more than a car to about 80 mph

[95-GT]

Chevy 305 sucks and its dirt slow.

Btw, your starting trouble with only 7 posts. Watch out, thats asking for a ban, and quick.

what do you mean beat it by a little to about 80 mph? you mean you beat him in the 1/4 mile at about 80mph or he beat you in the 1/4 mile because he passed you after 80mph? i'm confused.

Next time PLEASE specify WHICH Honda you're talking about...cuz I find it kind of funny that I have only 3.0 liters yet my HONDA is faster than you. Hmmmmm

[Gaownedu]

no i beat the truck... my friends dad has a quarter mile track...i can race people there whenever i want.... since nobody was there doing staging and stuff we just estimated the quarter... i stopped at 78 mph and had more than a car on him... there was no point in going any further... usually i hit like 84 in the quarter... so it was close to a quarter

[iceman]

So this wasn't an official track, just soemone's road??

Not to mention my 1.6 litre would give him a damn good run for his money and im completely stock....

*puts flame suit one for those who hate hondas on this board*

Exactly...people just need to open their eyes a little...just becuz it is in fact a HONDA doesn't mean crap.

$4/gal? I'm talking about premium, like 93-94 octane. Maybe $2.35 a gallon, but certainly not more than that. Besides, I perfer octane over ice for knock reduction, but maybe thats just me.
