#12955 O.k., New Post for low and high spec civics alike, we know the honda will play with the big boys even with smaller cpacity/less powerful engines.

So post up things you have kept up with/ beaten and what mods (briefly) you were running.

I'll start us of with my newbie Si, decat and short air intake.

Is faster than Saxo Vtr/vts, Fiesta St, and kept up with a 2.2 litre Audi 80 (modded 3 door).

If I think of anything else i'll post it up...it'll be interesting to hear what those across the pond have raced...I know you get more exotic competition lol! :thumb:

#12956 Lets see.....some of my favorite kills have had to be against Camero SS's, Cobra Mustang's, and WS6 Trans Am's. Anytime I take one of those out its a good feeling. There's also been the occasional EVO or WRX that comes along. One of my more impressive one's was against a brand new GTO. All those were killed with my ITR motor sitting at 195whp in my 2000 Civic Si.

All I've really ran with my new block was a new Corvette, I dont think it was the ZO6 model though. I ended up pulling the Vette by about 2-3 cars. We went from @ 30 to 120mph.

Streetracing is very dangerous, and I dont head out of my house to intensionally do it, but every now and again it happens.

Forgot to say that these were by-pass experiences, so I wasn't putting any pedestrians at risk...only people that were willing to take the same risk.

Damn you and your itr :x Lol. It must be some feeling!

How do you fare against subaru's/Evo's? I didn't think a fwd civic would keep up with a boosted awd

From the roll it was a steady pull on them, nothing retarded, but pulling at a decent pace.

From the dig I have to play catch-up, but by the top of third gear I'm back in the game.

I'd like to see how I do now with more horsepower, and less weight. :wink:

Yeah, I thought with that god dman awd they'd be off the mark pretty quick, but even talking about playing catch up with scoobies and evo's gives me the shakes haha

I hate most subaru/evo drivers. Buying a mass marketed turbo and then acting like they've bought something special or unique just pisses me off. Lazy is what it is, you should get a vid of pulling on these guys - that would be awesome lol

Top job man :thumb:

#13148 a 1.3 Saxo tried to take me at a dual lane today, I half throttled it and the guy thought he was keeping up :eh: ...so I was forced to show him where his place was :twisted:

O.k. so it was a 1.3...but it was hell of a funny. He had his gf in the passenger seat, it made it worse because he took the outside lane to cut into my lane, which is only meant to be used for fast cars overtaking really slow things...like tractors. anyways, enough about how funny tht was

I was only joking about the fiesta though - its the slowest thing known to man


haha, I bet it feels quick to your mate though! My first car felt rapid and it was only a 1.3 lol.

Just goes to show, it ain't what you got - but how you drive. If you can't take off and control your car, there's just no point. Good going guys! Nothin like some good Honda ownage to boost the morale! lol :thumb:
