Thats exactly how I feel about modding Hondas. Hard to tell that to 5 Honda boys standing in front of you though

The one kid is actually one of my co-workers (he drives a 92 hatch with an engine swap, ran a 17.9
), and he tried to tell me that the guy with the B16 turbo ran a 14.2 @ 157MPH. No, thats not a typo, I asked him about 10 times, he claims 157MPH, at that point I told him he was an idiot and walked away. He also claimed the "k20 n/a hatch" ran an 11.3 on street tires, which I also called bullshit on.
Funny thing was the only kid in the group thats actually not a retard came in today, and without his friends there he was like "yea you should actually be a pretty good race for the k20 with the mods you have". Big difference from last night, when his moron friends were claiming I'd need 40 car lenghts, a 150 shot, and a rocket strapped to the back of my car to even hang with the "k20"
Anyone remember the episode of PINKS with the built Civic vs. the Trans Am?? And the Trans Am won every time, no matter how many lengths he gave the Civic, with and without nitrous?? And then the Civic kept breaking lol?? I wonder what exactly was done to that Civic, if I remember correctly he had some sort of turbo setup. I'll see if I can find it on Youtube.

turbo charging an already poor quality car that im sure was ragged out before is certainly ragged out now. id be suprised if he kept it running for 2 months straight.

If they are built the right way you might have trouble, almsot noone build s them the right way when you can still get power gains doing it the wrong and cheaper way. Yes honda are cheap to modify but not if you do it the right way.

Interesting.
So basically it took him a complete engine, transmission, and driveline swap with full bolt ons (k20 is only 210HP at the flywheel stock), and extremely light car thats been gutted in order to pull a few car lenghts on what appears to be a rather stock LT1. Now thats pathetic.
Like I always tell the ricers who think Honda engines are so great: Put it in a real car and see how it runs. You can make any car fast with a shitty motor if you have no weight to move, hell even my old 95HP 2.2 Cavalier engine would be fast if it was on a go cart. Put a Honda motor in a real car, like something that weighs around 3,000lbs, instead of a gutted econo box, and you have a slow ass car. But no, Honda boys would rather take some broken down old beater Honda with half a million miles on it and dump $10,000 into it to make it run with a stock LT1. And they end up with a god ugly, unreliable, barely driveable piece of shit that sounds like a street bike on crack. Never ceases to amaze me

Thats my thought too. I mean, you can pick up a $10,000 LS1 car, add $10000 in mods, and run cars costing 5 times the money you spent, or you can buy a 1997 Civic Si for $5000, rip out the whole interior, spend $10-15 grand swapping a K-series in, and keep up with a stock LT1 or LS1 car. Why bother? Is it the insurance rates???

Thats exactly what I tell them, I couldn't of said it any better myself thats what I was thinking lol. Do they ever notice that on shows like pinks all out and anything else with drag racing they also have gutted out cars too? But they all had V8 muscle too, gutted V8 vs. Gutted 4 banger the 8 will always win. We have balls to keep our interior, what kind of man guts their cars and call it a "race car"

no shit no shit NO SHIT
at work theres a guy w/a civic, big ass turbo, 3 inch straight exhaust all the way out etc etc $5000 in mods...........he runs low 13's---whoopdefuking doo, when i told him that if i put $5k in my car id be in the 11's, he didnt have too much to say about that.......
im thinking about putting a nice used complete nitrous setup in the for sale section, and slap a 100-150 shot on for insurance........My lug nuts require more torque than your honda makes.

07-02-2007, 11:45 AM #60You're close enough that I could make a trip out there on a Saturday. Tell those dickheads you found a race for them and we'll earn some money if you'd like."lets see what would happen if the T/A was as modded as your Civic or had anything close to as much money in it, such as H/C package or Procharger", and these kids STILL claim this K20 Civic would lay waste to it. I asked them in plain english if they thought a H/C 500WHP F-body with a 4K stall and a 4L80 with a 12 bolt could beat this hatch. Their exact words "it would need a rocket strapped to it"


Iron block 408, large nitrous shot, ATI TH400 w/ 3800 stall.
