    lost to a civic...

    even with my new 680cc injectors and plenty of fuel he still got me all 4 pulls... its weird when i run someone that burns out more than i do...and he had slicks on...he was in an EG hatch with a B20 vetec with a MASSIVE garret GT35R turbo and a very sexy ram horn manifold... my turbo will fit into that things inlet... i want it

    i dont mind losing... it gives me more incentive to make it bigger badder stronger

    on the plus side i walked his buddies LS1 swapped FD RX7
    I know its a piece of crap but im still faster...and its 100% legal!!!!!

    As much as I hate hondas , these things can fly when they are done properly.

    Most of them are all show-no go though...

      ^^I totally agree...... but Fastiva, how often do you actually lose a race with that thing?

      1990 Festiva - First Ever Completed KLZE swap (SOLD)

      If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?

            What was up with the LS/RX7? I would think it should be a solid mid-12 second car in reasonably stock form....depending on what it weighed.

                      I applaud you for posting that you lost....and I agree, I would not be ashamed if I lost to something like that. As stated I am sure he was much further into his wallet then you are.

                            I've only seen four Civics in my lifetime that I can honestly say were quick and nice at the same time. One 500hp CRX on youtube, too... I can say that the drivers of those Civics were quiet, and matter-of-fact when it came to what was under the hood. These same guys wouldn't rev their engines at lights or anything, no matter who challenged them. That's a kind of person I can respect, no matter what their vehicle choice.

                              i have 3 400+ hp Hondas here in town i get to deal with. one sits at just above 400hp, another at a little over 500 and the money pit sits at around 600 and rarely sees anything but the track.

                              The 400hp one was built pretty budget friendly imo and the 500hp CRX im still not entirely sure about it, other than the kid bought it that way. So if i wanna be competetive here in town i have to aim for over 300hp to even try to keep up with the #3 car
