Help! Civic wants to race me....
 

like i said before i use to run 14.8's on my civic......At school everyday on the way home at 10pm my classmates schedules streetrace almost every Wednesday. After i sold my civic they never ask me to go with them anymore cuz im driving my 323....Well i couldn't accept the fact that my car cant hang with a stock civic ex so now im doing the dohc swap.
I just want to make sure that my car would be able to beat a civic ex with just intake. This civic is prolly hitting 17's on a quarter mile. and i want to be sure i can take 'em.....here's what i have :
bp 1.8 dohc engine
K&N filter
im using my stock tranny (sohc tranny) and i talk to the guy who got the same set up and he's hitting 16.6 1/4 mile. thats kinda slow. o yeah how much does my car weigh stock anyways? I have a 91 323 hatchback

Maybe you should be glad you don't get invited to street races anymore.... be happy that your face doesn't become one with a street lamp pole or, better yet, an innocent victim.

I've heard the spiel that "we can race safely before". :rolleyes:

And then I got to see his name in the obituaries next week :mad:

agreed. :)

I'd say around 2100-2300lbs in that area. Yes, a 16.6 is slow for that setup. I think a stock 1st gen LX would run DAMN close to that so you should be running in the high 15s or better with that setup.

does anybody knows how much stock 1 gen pro 1.6 SOCH LX runs on 1/4 m???

1.6?
 

i dont think they put 1.6's in the 1st gen pro. 1.8 sohc runs like an 18 or sumthin though. i ran a low 17 tha one time i took my pro out to the track. i had intake and straight pipe exhaust from manifold back.(no cat) that was with a slippin second gear both runs...piece of shit stock clutch. i left and promised myself id never go back until i had some boost under the hood.

I'm suprised to see you in here and not in a Ford Windstar or Dodge Caravan forum. Although, I don't like seeing high school kids, who just saw F&F, go out and start streetracing. I'll turn them down every time. I only race with ppl that can control their car and that know how to recover their vehicle if a drunk driver or someone on a cell phone pulls out in front of them. I have never seen one accident from street racing. I see at least one accident a week from someone talking on the cell phone or a drunk driver.

I'm glad you haven't seen anything... did you know that last year there were at least 17 people killed in street races in San Diego? And that includes innocent people. HEll, they might be fast and the furious "ricers", but who's to decide how good of a driver you are and tell the other people on the road who are trying to use it that there is very little risk they'll get killed? :rolleyes:

And yes, drunk drivers are killers in my mind. Assholes on cell phones piss me off :mad:

And you think I'm a pussy huh? I interned for a month at the county coroner's office... I got to see some "former" classmates. Your face sure doesn't look pretty splattered at 115mph on a freeway offramp. So it's not like I'm being a pussy sideliner... I was there. That's all I really want to say about that job.

And I know I'm not going to really stop anybody...

I couldn't resist though...

HOT DAMN !!! I know the consiquences thanks for reminding me it ..AGAIN. anyways, thanks for the reply . so i guess i'll be able to beat him . peace.

I don't recall calling you a pussy, but, whatever.

Re: 1.6?
 

yes they do. i have 1.6, european market, B6-E (thats what they say in the FAQ) engine

Smoked Civic
 

I remember one nite....i was at a stop light with my 90 Lx 5 speed DOHC pro(completely stock)...when this red civic (2000?) pulls up with neon lights in his interior...and a loud muffler...possibly intake...we'll i knew this piece of shit wanted to race me. So when it turned green i floored it coming out early, just barely, but when i put it to second and threw it up to 6000 rpm(i dont red line anymore, cause i blew a radiator hose last time) i smoked his weak civic so badly that im smiling now just thinking about it. Well, it was clear this guy wasnt going to catch up to me, so i layed off and he got right on my ass in my lane, and then turned off. I guess i'd be mad too if i had put all that money making my car look nice, but was beaten by a stock 90 Lx 5 speed Pro...oh well, suxors for him.

civic: 125 hp 106 ft\lbs 2408lbs
323:2238lbs with bp 125 maybe 130 or so with filter hp 114 ft\lbs
i'm not condoning street racing but yeah i'd say u could beat him i beat my friends ex and he's got an intake and exhaust and my car is a stock sohc 5 speed so yeah considering weight and eveything i'd say u could beat one

well i posted this long time ago ..anyways i have raced a civic ex 95 with header,intake,trust exhaust. i smoked him 3 cars away and i was still pulling y? i guess cuz there's 2 of them he's got sound system, 17" konig monsoon rims... i felt bad for the guy . i wasnt gonna race him until he started revving his car then when i looked they started laughing at my car so then i said bring it!!!

Hey I don't think 16.6 1/4 mile is slow for my 323 DOHC ?? It is almost stock with only a 2 1/4 exhaust pipe and a cone filter. Besides the 1/4 mile strip is not at sea level, if it was then it would've been high 15's.......... !!:rolleyes:
