I was on my way to see my new baby girl this morning and I was sitting at a light listening to some music, not very loud, windows were down (no AC rightnow). I see this P5 coming up on my pretty fast and im like, "wtf? This is a red light". So he stops next to me F&F style with the E-brake. He goes, "wanna race?". I was baffled, it was 7:00 am and I was drinking my coffee. I agree. I see him reaching down playing with something, then he goes, "ok ready". Soon after, the light turned green. We launched, but I didnt go full throttle, and he was next to me then all of a sudden he jumps forward and white smoke out his exhaust, so I go Full throttle and fly by him. At the next light he was like, "wtf?!?! How did you beat me? I have NOS!" I told em he was a disgrace to the Mazda community and should go buy a Honda He didn't take it too well, and he peeled out and took off. Btw, I was in my civic, not my accord

 

doesnt always pay to spray. even tho it was a mazda sounded like the fool needed to go down.

 

I agree, even though it is a mazda, he still needed to realize that NOS doesn't make you the fastest thing on the road, by far.I wonder if he realizes that NOS voids warranty on his motor?

 

Some people who drive Protege5's in my area are idiots. They think they drive the fastest thing on the road.

Have fun with the car, but don't have that riceboy attitude.

 

bah the other day i saw a silver P5 with a huge *** wing on the hatch with a blue peace of material going across the top for the windsheald...god was it ever ugly!!!

 

Oh my Gosh ! Give me a bat i will go break that riced up cars windows, and bash the wing in hahahahahaha !
LOL If i has NOS i wouldnt tell a soul, i would say, uhhhh i won by skill hahahahahaha

 

what's in your civic , ,, ?

This is the question noone asked
Bruce

 

Whats in the beast I call my own?

H23a block, H22a (Vtec) head. Greddy T-88 Turbo. Full Internal port/polish/replacement. Bored out my throttle body, 3" downpipe, straight 3" to the back (no cat) and a 5Zigen Fireball muffler at the back. HKS Racegate, A'PEXi AVC-D Boost controller. God I can go on forever. I tried my best to replicate a hatch I saw in an old "Turbo" magazine, however it was done by drt, and I would rather not take my car to them (out of state) to tune. So I didn't go with drt products. 600+ hp isn't bad for the setup, running 20 lbs of boost. Its a great car, on slicks the best I have ran is 9.5 in the 1/4 mile at 160mph. Its very fast, and no I am not a professional Drag Racer, I dont have the time nor money to trailer this car to race after race and pay for expenses.

 

wow honda runing 20 psi never seen that befoe

 

I dont see it often, lets put it that way Considering its not a daily driver, and the engine is built up strong enough to hold it, its good. I run 20 psi at the track and if for some reason I decide to take it out I lower the boost.

 

crumbs, that civic brings a tear to my eye....
respect for a sweet turbo job Travis.

 

Thank you stef are those both your protege's? They are very clean, i likes

 

yeah, they are. i bought the 1.5 first then i started reading about how good the 1.8 bp engines were. i got the bug and had to have one. the 1.8 manual models are hard to get even here but i managed to find one. so now i have to be content just reading my copy of maximum boost till i save some more damn money.


my first car was a c-rx so i'm a bit nostalgic about hondas but i hated the amount of money i'd need to spend to strengthen the engine for a turbo setup. that's why i'm so jealous of yours.

 

torque is one thing Travis but i reckon if you wanna make it really cool your money would be better spent on a big aluminium wing and some of those really cool neon window washers!

hahaha, sorry.

 

Yes the money making these motors strong enough could easily pay for much better, but nothing is funner than smoking Vettes and Vipers at the Track I thought about a CRX when I was first looking into this, but I just couldn't adjust to the styling of it. I then saw this article about an H23a civic with an H22 head and a Turbo and I knew what I wanted to do. My next car, however will be more tame
