| Just picking numbers out of the sky is very pointless. There are many factors that influence times besides the driver. For instance, temperature, air pressure, and elevation. And trust me, they make a huge difference. Why do you think your car feels faster in the morning and slower during the afternoon...this is because as temperature rises, hp falls dramatically. The same this is true with elevation...the lower it is, the more hp your engine will be able to muster. To check if you're car really is faster/slower than an M3, you should test at sealevel, 1 atm pressure, and room temperature (sorry, i forgot the exact number). |

| nice car. Why did you remove the emblem from the back of the car btw? Is it because people would steal it? I know someone that had their accord's honda emblem stolen twice. |

good work on the civic. forget what people say. so its a honda. like we 'supe' up cars to satisfy other people (atleast i don't). the ride is real low though. that thing would get inspected so bad by our cops if you were here. :p
got a pic of your b18c1?

sometimes we do this because it looks cleaner without them. |

the roll cage was put in 2 months ago and those pictures are from the Fall..if u really need proof of a roll cage i can take a picture...i mean WHY would i lie...a roll cage is a very simple add on..not much to it...nothing special as far as looks...to be honest i dont liek the way it looks...only reason i added it was for handling purposes..thats it..
no pics of engine./..but again if u need them i can take them...but again what would that proove?..the majority of the work i have done to my engine is internal..which a pic can't show you...yes u would see an intake, fuel rail, manifold and chrome pieces...but wont see real mods because they are inside the head and the such...
but again i can take them...
also if u notice i dont have rims in the daytime pictures...so if i jus posted those would u say i didnt have rims?...lol i have no reason to lie about what i have done...so jus cus its not in the picture means nothing...prime example rims in top pic..no rims in bottom... |

| I haven't read this entire thread, but seems like someone "thinks" they know something about racing. How much hp/torque do you claim from your mods??? In 1/4 mile racing, torque is more important that hp. Obviously, the more torque, the more hp... but most Jap cars(Honda/Acura) are all top end power. Yea, you get to it by winding thru the gears, but if you can reach your peak hp/torque at lower rpms, you're not waiting to achieve your motor's potential. Also, 1/4 mile is mostly about the driver. It's about reaction time, 60 ft. times, and knowing your car's ability and streangths. I will look into the original post by Tiesto, and see what he's got under the engine. I don't see you beating any Ferrari's, and you certainly have nothing on my Audi. |

i cant claim anythign yet...i dont like to CLAIM ...i will wait till i get my T3/T4 Turbonetics Turbo put in next month...then after it's put in the shop thats doing it has a DYNO machine....and if you know ANYTHING about cars..you will know that the only way to know EXACTLEY how much power your putting to the ground is through a DYNO test..because that shows how much HP and TQ hits your wheels after it passes the flywheel and all that crap...
so i wont guess.....

yes that's true to extent..but THE WHOLE is greater then the SUM of its PARTS...it's NOT just TQ..but TQ plays the most important role in hardcore power...but its not that cut and dry.

well in the 1/4 mile i have never raced a Ferrari..however Ferraris and Lamborghinis tend to be "slower" in the 1/4 because they are high end cars...like i said..i beleive the 2000 355 ran a high 13 1/4 mile time...and Diablos USED to run low 14's.. which is not impressive at all in the 1/4...
and i know my best time ever on slicks at English Town Raceway was 13.865..dont remember the reaction time...so going by that i can say that beating a high 13 second Ferrari is not very difficult...
and after my turbo is put it i SHOULD be running mid to low 12's
i dont know anything about your Audi...and i never said i could beat it...
anyway i am more into handling then dragging my car....i would much rather take it to a course and hit the curves any day...thats why if you look at my suspension mods i have completley redone every suspension component so that my car handles to its fullest potential...
and u say u looked at my mods....and try and flame by acting like i dont know anything about cars...LOL...then why dont u tell me some answers to soem questions...lets test your skills
1. Whats a "port and polish" mean?
2. Where is nitrous sprayed into?
3. Whats borring?
4. Whats "turbo lag"?
5. If your car doesnt have a "header" what does it have?
theres soem questions for you...lets see what you know...dont test me dude and dont start flame wars.... |

| Tiesto14 is correct in some of what he says. It is possible for a civic to beat a stock M3. I have seen Civics run even high 8 second quarter miles. I've actually owned a 525i and after that a souped up honda accord ex. The difference in curb weight is actually enormous. Especially after u strip down a honda. Of course, Hondas don't have the comfort level a BMW does but, if your racing I dont think u really care how comfortable u are. Torque is also important as someone said before but, what Hondas lack in torque they more than make up in RPM. Tiesto14, i don't know how u drive in that thing in NYC with that enormous drop. I dropped my Accord 2.5 inches and ended up bending my TSW Hockenheims and reraised the car and switched to 16"s. Unless u are reraising the car with your coilovers before drive into the city. Great job on the car though. I'd imagine u are looking for more power though. Go nitrous or look at a turbo. I freakin got bitch slapped by a bitch slapped on Rt4 here in jersey by Civic running a T3/T4 turbo with front mounted intercooler. |

| hey tiesto 14, no i haven't been up to nanuet yet. Whats goes on there sunday? street racing? I usually race whereever. Garden state parkway, turnpike, Hudson parkway is always fun. Last time i raced i went up against a Integra GSR and Maxima SE when i had my Accord coming abck from NYc. I was able to hit 128 across the bridge before my rev limiter cut in :mad:. I recently got a prelude so maybe i'll soup that up. Been looking at superchargers but they are mad expensive. Damn man if u dont raise te car, how the hell do u go to the ATM lol!!! |
