i love how people can tell that a car has a CAI just by the sound of it.

I just killed a mid-90's Civic in my 90 Grand Caravan last night. He didnt look too happy either. "Mopar or no car"

Congrats on a kill...5 cars with an auto l03, amazing.

How bout a civic with an L98.. think its possible

cas0484

Goodkill man, Look out for a newer SI though....it should make for a better race. But as a general rule of thumb, if it's a honda, don't even bother. Unless you know its worked out. Not worth the time or gas IMO. Goodkill again!

You CAN tell by the sound of it. It's easy if you know what to listen for. Even my GF could hear it in her friend's Eclipse, then surprised the hell out of him by asking if he had a CAI.

I generally don't mess with Honda's. A guy in a newer Si tried to race me once, he was boosted. Said he had 210 HP up from his stock 160. 210 HP isn't much of a race.

And I've beaten older Civics with my Suburban before too. Can't hang with the 7.4L terror.

stu

Haha, I can't wait until the day you all come on here with your story about the Civic that handed you your ***.

EDIT: By the way, to the original poster: Your sig is wrong. Completely wrong.

redcamaro1989

btw about my sig its sposed to be kinda funny. as in haha

wont happen. civics are too slow. a stock caravan can take one.

edit: only if you put a v8 in it and make it rwd. then maybe.

Firebat

the pic says it all. Import vs muscle.

stu

You HAVE to be joking. How fast is your car for example?

Firebat

iTrader: (7)

about what. its a slow car. my 3.1 V6 is faster than a civic. And wait til i get the LT1 done.

stu

I know I've said this a million times, but my Integra would have smoked most of the people on this board, and it wasn't even that fast.

Firebat

iTrader: (7)

yeah. and was it stock. or did you have 20psi worth of turbo.

stu

15 psi worth of turbo actually. The motor and all the suspension (down to the hubcaps) was all stock though. You would have never guessed what was coming.

Firebat

iTrader: (7)

and your engine is still running with that much psi?

stu

Nah. It had 170,000 miles on it. It eventually blew a ring (I could still smoke the tires in 3rd gear on only 3 cylinders). It probably would still be running if I didn't ghetto rig the map sensor so the check engine light would stop coming on and putting the car into limp mode. A factory Honda map sensor freaks out at about 11 psi of boost when you have a piggy back fuel management set up. If I ever build a turbo car again, I'll do it right and get a full stand alone.

Stu, i think we just need to go drinking.

87TPI350KID

Im sorry to say.. but imports can be fast example, stu's car (used to be). It would rape your 3.1.. on 3 cyl

Firebat

iTrader: (7)

hey man thanks for sticking up for third gens!

no the 3.1 is not fast. Its faster than the old carbed V8 305 though. Top speed and acceleration. Kind of sad.

stu

Now you're talking Firebat! Drinking is where I'm a VIKING!

lol

84L69TA

LOL, I would've ran ya. I got 2 cars sitting here that would have given you a problem.

80smetalfan

And you give most of the people on this board half the boost you ran and slicks, and the story is totally different. I wonder how many Hondas from the 80s like 3rd gens would keep up with one, stock for stock? Or for that matter, how many Hondas from the 80s (especially mid to early 80s) are even on the road and running still?

My brother is a proud Honda owner and tuner, no ***** by any definition, and I've learned that there are a few truths about Hondas that most people here won't accept:

1. They are extremely reliable, even with little maintenance.
2. Because of having no weight and deep gears from the factory, they are pretty quick for their displacement, and can be made reasonably quick fairly easily.

BUT

He will also tell you himself that they are impractical for drag racing, and that's why he also owns a BBC Chevelle.

And for the few educated tuners like yourself that actually do have decently fast Hondas, there are leagues and leagues and leagues of people with stock 1.6 SOHC Civics or 4cyl Accords who get walked again and again on the streets by things like 3.1 V6 Cavaliers and Ford Taurus SHO's, so though there may be someone on here who gets killed by a Honda every once in a while, you'll see 500 of these threads before it happens. Lots of thirdgens with ignorant drivers get walked as well, but at least usually by respectable cars.

I've got a friend with a 2.3 liter Mustang 4cyl LX that's turbocharged and has some machine work in the heads and intake who would also kill a lot of people on here in a race, but that doesn't change the fact that the average 4cyl LX is ungodly slow!



And now my apologies for contributing to the hijacking of this thread, lol.

stu

Well yeah, I'm not saying that 99% of Hondas are slow, and 99.99% of 'modded' Hondas are just tacky POS' driven by high school drop outs. I just get bothered when people group things all together. What is the fastest, non-top fuel dragster car out there currently? Does anyone know?

Moderator with the fast cars: Of course you would. You clearly fall into the group of members that isn't classified as "most." Don't think I'm all high and mighty, I lost nearly every race I ever had when I went to the track, many times to slower cars. I just get irritated when people with slow cars act all bad *** because their cars could be fast.

Lo-tec

I get irritated hearing about all this honda (ack-er-a) bull**** from you all the time on a 3rd gen forum!!

stu

You registered in January. lol

I get tired of saying it.

refresh this newbie's memory...before the lock b/c this is definitely getting off topic

This thread is silly. If you kids want to bicker and insult each other then do it over PM and keep it off the boards.
