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".
And then I got to see his name in the obituaries next week

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.

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 **** 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.

And yes, drunk drivers are killers in my mind. ******** on cell phones **** me off
And you think I'm a ***** 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 ***** 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...

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 **** 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 *** 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.

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.......... !!
