Anyone here ever run against any Civic Si(R)'s? I keep reading how you killed a Civic EX etc with SOHC VTEC, but, I haven't read any Si stories. I have yet to race a P5, but, my friend has a nice one and i'm sure we'll run one day

 

pretty sure you'll get spanked ny a civic si lol

 

one of my friends had a black 2003 si it was clean as hell and me and him used to race all the time on straight line he get me but not by much and in traffic i killed him because im a better driver then him

 

Check my sig

 

Civics > Protege5 - straight road only. Protege5 > Civics on the twisties. :/

 

the 91-97 protege with the dohc 1.8 can take any Civic practically up to the civic ex, with the sohc vtec. and the integra LS motor. but once you go into the SI territory, there power is much higher than ours.

you can take a 'si' because i have. me friend has 2000 si, with all kind of mods real fast car, BUT i can get him out of the hole by 3 cars, BUT then in 3rd here comes the vtec and there goes the vtec hes car will do about 150 me about 125

 

VTEC

 

Yes, I do it all the time, through traffic when I'm visiting L.A. We've gotten up to 140mph (indicated); switching lanes and dodging random traffic at that speed is pretty tricky.

 

I meant to say, I won, but I think at those speeds it's kinda the driver.

 

i am driving a protege5.. 2003..
i smoke a civic Si V-tech on hwy1 (canada)

 

but thats when it becomes fun like playing with death

 

There are no SI-r's in USA, so it's hard to say. I've raced many SI's with bolt ons and they are not a challenge at all. My P5 smoked several 3rd gen SI's last weekend at the track. I outran a 2.2L accord with a 25hp shot of nitrous. The guy claimed to only run 25shot, but his kit was closer to 50. Hondas are just dogs. Dead reliable, but not performance vehicles.

 

ill race an si, just no one ever wants to race me aorund here.

 

Raced one once at the drag strip, the guy was lafing when he saw he was going to race against me, you should have seen is face change when i had to put my helmet on, they are obligatory here for compact under 13.99. They always kind of change face when i do that.
