ok so i have been looking around at a few of the v6 forums and such...you prob will know which ones i am talking about. i have noticed a growing trend. the first is the need to tell every little kill story that you even attempt to race in. also the fact that "killed" an import honda civic that "sounded like it had good power or alot of mods, or sounded mean". also the fact of trying to downplay your car and/or driving skill(or lack there of) when u get beat by something that everyone else says that you should beat or have beaten in the past. and also they hold in such high esteem the "fast" mods of what is usually a start mod for most people. also they think their car is so fast until it gets beaten by a 2 door family sedan, or an older inferior V6(ie 3400 or lower in displacement than...well u know). and also why do they always quote what they heard from a third cousin of their former room mate from having walked all over a car of a similar style. and lastly, why do they try to downplay the fact that the 4 door sedan that uses the same displacement engine that their car has, yet they forget theirs is only a series 2 and the s/c version is a series III or so, and it is S/C. by now u have guessed who i am talking about. i went over there to see what the big deal was and why everyone over there were such pompus a holes, well i found out why. its really hard for me to see where they are comming from, but then again i cant get my head that far up my @$$

go to honda tech in their forced induction forum. Pic any random thread and I bet the car in that thread if complete and running would mop up 99% of the cars on this board.
So I wouldn't talk shit about civics. They weigh less then your boat, and with the right turbo setup, will make 200 whp+ in a 2300lb car. Way more then enough to lay the smack down on your bolt on grand ams on here.

Well i can add to this, hondas CAN be quick, many mods and such. there are many things that you can do to them though compared to our vehicles. but stock vs stock we got it. Ive raced plenty of hondas. Turbochared, yeah of coarse their fast. My car has intake, wires, exhaust and its pretty quick. hondas without forced induction or a TON of motor work will never hit 14s. I raced a honda civic four door with a 1.8 DOHC non vtec, header, header back Greddy exhaust, AEM fuel rail, AEM intake, lower geared trani, and a chip of some sort. he is the only honda to beat me yet, excluding boosted of coarse. he only took me by a car length.

Why not put a ported 3400 in a honda...60* powers the world.
Then again the hoda body isnt built for that kinda power. The body would come right off of the frame...if not a unibody.Last edited by Z3R0; 03-21-2007, 01:55 PM.Originally posted by wozxx...{is 92 mph in a school zone illegal?}I was going relatively fast thru a school zone and was caught.

Yeah it would be a project. I thought it was quite funny cuz this kid is a honda freak all about the rice, and his grandpa just tells him to put a 350 in it.
