DONE300AT21: brand new pully system...
DONE300AT21: I beat the camero worst then i did the trans am
DONE300AT21: i only beat the trans am by about 2 car links

PlayBoyBunnie: and where was the race?
PlayBoyBunnie: at GLD?

DONE300AT21: i beat the camero by almost a block....lol....No..the race was at 17th and pierce

PlayBoyBunnie: i have no clue where that is...
PlayBoyBunnie: so how much horse power you crankin?

DONE300AT21: a little over 300 I have to go get it checked out, but I think I have it to about 320 or so
DONE300AT21: i'm not done with it yet,...i'm getting a bigger engine put in
DONE300AT21: i'm getting a 4.0 put in
DONE300AT21: so i can increase the horsepower even more, and get a different hood with a hood scope

PlayBoyBunnie: lol trans ams and camaro',s if it was a new z28 they crank over 300hp or more!!

DONE300AT21: well i still beat it.....

PlayBoyBunnie: =/ Im sure you did

DONE300AT21: it was funny
DONE300AT21: my car just switched gears a bit quicker then his
DONE300AT21: while he was peeling out....i was going down the road
DONE300AT21: i find that it is almost better to race when you have no tread on your tires...lol....it seemed to help me a little better

PlayBoyBunnie: ummm ok...
PlayBoyBunnie: did u squeal your tires?

DONE300AT21: ....yea my tires squeal....they be loud also
DONE300AT21: but don't last long

PlayBoyBunnie: HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! have u raced the eloy's 3000 gt VR4 TT yet?

DONE300AT21: not since i got the upgrades
DONE300AT21: otherwise I know i can't beat him

PlayBoyBunnie: but with the upgrades you think u can beat him?

DONE300AT21: not sure

PlayBoyBunnie: ohh

Firefighter Z
07-28-2004, 04:22 PM
Part 2

DONE300AT21: probably not cause his car don't squeal or anything like that, so he would probably beat me but it could be a close one...has josh tried to race him yet?

PlayBoyBunnie: yeah they race its fun Josh always smoked the sh1t out of him from a roll and a stop..why dont you & josh race if your car is so fast?
PlayBoyBunnie: he just got headers on his ride and maybe something more

DONE300AT21: maybe I will

PlayBoyBunnie: you should
PlayBoyBunnie: it would be fun =) LOL

DONE300AT21: lol....

playboybunnie: do you know how fast ur car goes in a 1/4 mile

DONE300AT21: 10.2 for the 1/4

playboybunnie: whats the MPH and 60' if you went 10.2???

End of coversation...
Maybe one of you guys should IM him on AOL and bust him out and post the convo on the board.

white thunder buddy, tell em you have a friend w/ a grand prix w/ the "tornado" intake that makes it sound like a vacuum cleaner screaming that wants to race them.

Reminds me of this blue civic.
new - w/ body kit, kit looks kinda nice, non-ricey. has 14" spinner hubcaps, no system, a 5-speed and girls in the car. dude flys by me, we hit a light *right away* I rev once and of course he revs a million times, radio up girls laughing. I see it go red on the other light, I hear him start to rev it up to dump the clutch, I stall up to 3k and just go @ it, I purposely did a smoke show to show him what's up. :thumbsup owned him. hit another light, he wanted more, I launched it like I shoulda owned him way worse. this time we hit a light, he's not revving not looking, just turns up his radio to "distortion" I hit freek-a-leek, but make sure to turn my eq for the subs waaaaaaayyyyyy up. his dice is shaking to my bass. :tomato

he squeels his tires bad, I stay @ a gentle 1/2 throttle and stay ahead, then I manually shift it to 1st for a sec just to get it to light the tires in 1st @ 30 to be a ****. :3gears:

he hit another light. I say (now his radio is down a bit) "I think your girlies are in the wrong car, loser." all the girls laugh @ him, his girlfriend clearly embarrased like him, still lets out a smirk, then covers her mouth so he doesn't see. Some bystanders laugh @ his "spinners" They hear me call him a tool, they laugh too. light goes green he's pissed, so what's he do? revs it sky high and has the radio blasting ------ right by a cop. Hello ticket.

Now -- this guy had it coming. Always revs. was severely tailgating me beforehand, I think holeshots in walmart -- where people walk, is enough reason for my severe multiple ass-kickin' of that big bad EX w/ the big bad v-tec.

highschoolers (nee: idiots) w/ sport compacts/imports, when will they learn. :confused

This kid reminds me of the Iroc Man Vs. Speeding Tickets radio clip. I wonder if he washes and waxes his sweet ride everyday so radar bounces off it and hits the cop's car and it reads the cruisers speed not his sweet ride. It also must be made of the same metal as the Stealth too.

Unfortunately there seems to be a large contingent of kids who own newer cars who have no clue as to ANYTHING that relates to their cars. However, I would be hesitant to call this kid a ricer, since his car is a Cavalier. What do you call people who own domestics, that have that certain type of mentality? I'd put this guy in the same category as anyone who has a mid 80's Chevy Caprice with a 305 and just straight pipes, who think they're car is fast, since it's a V8. There is a group of people who are the domestic equivilent of a "ricer" but drive domestic.
I think it's your guys place to name these special people...

Attitude, yes.

I'm not a ricer in my integra. Just to show the attitide concept. I only picked off two races I was positive I could win (so few at that). Then again, that civic lx is not much of a challenge. I'll save the speed demon for the track. As for the track, not the 1/4. A 16 sec run is embarassing. I could have fun cutting time off each run through improved shifting and launch, but I'll still feel like one of them "import dorks."

Blackhawk raceway is a good place for an import like my teg. Because of the classifications, it can be competetive. I'd love a more powerful car, but $$$ are limited.

Acts like a ricer, looks like a ricer(they all do dress the same hah) and talks like a ricer....then they are a ricer :). Its a mentality like mentioned. Many domestic cars/owners are riced/ricers. Not just Neons and J-Bodies either ;). Although most domestic rice comes from these it seems...

And there is probably 20 to 1 the amount of people in their Civics, Integras or Neons(not all of these are neccisarily ricers, so settle down you folks ;) ) who think they are badass compared to people in their Caprices, Camaros or domestic cars with a weaker(98% of 305's) V-8 that think they are badass :). Not saying they don't exist but I think most of them have a better grip on reality as to ricers who seem to think their car is a high performance machine with an *intake*(pet peeve: intake manifold or air intake, PLEASE dictate) and grapefruit shooter exhaust.

Thats what I'm talking about! Anywho, its so true some ignorant ricers dont know cars beyond their own. At certain street races I attended:banana, when I ran some ricers, I was told they never seen a Camaro launch like mine, which was oh so stock then:thumbsup, so basically there used to "Camaro's" which hold V6's, or the RS's too. So I wasn't suprised. Maybe this is how they all think, when they beat a "Camaro", they think its geared toward all Camaros, cause they obviously dont know any better. :rockwoot:

Yep, domestic rice is still rice. I want one of those batteries he (done300at21) got that adds 80hp. You guys seen that RiceStang that's nasty yellow with twin huge fart cannon which scrapes the ground? Serious rice.

Unless he runs a number "with Slicks" its a 11.60 car.....Period.....Just another wanna-be 10 second car. 11.60s to Low 11s is a huge jump....I'll believe it when I see it.

I have NEVER seen a 10 second Honda at the track other than Bees race car, If it was soooo easy and cheap the track would be over run with them..... :rolleyes:

I think your cool:thumbsup. Your ride is sweet, the black on black helps alot! Your wheels rock too. I think there's a fine definition between rice and sport compact. I beleive sportcompact was made out of the necessity to not be completely associated with imports, in American terms??:confused. Summit has thier particluar "sport compact" section, so its either to save face of non imports, or even simply just to save face on imports period, giving the whole genre a respectable name. Anywho, my personal opinion is rice and sport compact are two different types.

John's Chevy Cav: Sport Compact
Mystery Import Ricer or Sport Compacts with similar mods(cavs,saturns,pontiacs etc): Huge wing, fart can, stickers, bodykits, inches lowered from the ground..etc, etc. :rockwoot:

What does that have to do with people ricing their cars out? Myself and others will continue to make fun of riced out cars and their idiot owners regardless how many *11 second* Hondas are out there, or other cars....

There is a difference between ricers and people who just make their cars faster or do a few simple mods and realize their car is slow and don't act like king **** :).

How fast you want to go is how much money you want to spend...just takes Hondas a bit more :-P . I'd rather go faster for cheaper and break less parts.

Blow me HONDA. I used to own a Civic. I used to mod a Civic. I used to love my Civic. Then I grew up and realized Honda=sh!t and bought a DSM, and soon start my project 440 Mopar. Get over it and you should think twice before trying to b.s. me on how great Honda's are, I'm not in that frat anymore. I could drop the same amount of money in to my DSM as I did my Civic and be running a good time at the track.

All I know is 2.4 cavy's really come alive when you add boost. 12's on a stock internal motor with basically a pieced together turbo kit (T3/T04e) and street tires aint to shabby.... imagine the possiblilty with built internals.

If all goes well with Nicks cavy..... he should be giving some of these fast local import owners one hell of a run. :3gears:

that's the thing all these import losers need motor swaps.

screw that H22, swap in a L67, LS1, LS2 or LS6, you'll learn what torque AND horsepower are.

swap in a L67 to a J-body and be low 13's w/out any work. do cheap mods to one, watch out! holy sleeper batman.

in fact......... there's a guy w/ a L67'd cavi behind the 5-speed...... last time I checked it hauled major ass, you know what whole TORQUE and horepower thing. something about easy 12's w/out much work. kinda sounds like a LS1 or GN, easy 12's.

last time I checked a Ecotecd crappalier isn't much work for 14's. either way.... better than a riceburner.......

Easy way to settle it.... drive your rice mobile.....

then go to the local Pontiac dealership then take out a Comp G. be amazed w/ that torque thing. now before your done, hop in the GXP next to it.

screw that H22, swap in a L67, LS1, LS2 or LS6, you'll learn what torque AND horsepower are.

swap in a L67 to a J-body and be low 13's w/out any work. do cheap mods to one, watch out! holy sleeper batman.

I had a big write up on this on MWAS a few months back and its being proven RIGHT HERE for all to see. Honda owners are part of a frat. You say that they aren't that fast and to make one fast you have to put as much money in the motor as it takes to buy a decent house and they swarm you from all other sites. I used to praise the all might H back in 97 when I first got in to cars when I was in High School. I was one of the first people I knew of then (in my area MF/Sussex) that had a Civic that was slammed had rims, exhaust, headers, intake, you know, all the basic bolt ons that make Honda's hit low 11's. Then I got a ride in an GSX. The guy who owned it only put 2 grand into the car and he was smoking me like crazy. I had awoken that the car frat I had pledged myself to and spent many hazings (useless moding) had lead me on the wrong path.

I don't hate every Honda I see. I think they are good cars, they are safe, and they are very easy to maintain. In other words, they are a great beginner car. There are even a few out there that are pretty fast, like Tri's (Acura is close enough). But it gets pretty boring seeing the same "facts" from a new name every time they see someone ripping on Honda's. We have all heard these "facts" before, and I can summerize them in one sentence.

"You can make any Honda fast if you have a blank check and good imagination."

Thats It! And its pretty much a standard for any car. So Honda owners, before you try and say, "Oh yeah! See this set up. Such and such shop made this car and its running 8's!" Just sum it up with the above quote and don't bother posting the link.

Oh yeahk, I'm also an evil Republican so if you want to attack me on that to besides my car that you think brakes really good you can.

Honda, I had a 2001 Prelude SH with that H22 in it. And yes, that thing was pretty quick. Out-of-the-box, it would walk on a GTP. It was probably my fastest car I have owned to date. Then again, being a newer car, it cost money. With spending less money on my mind, I sold it and bought my 88 mustang. The mustang delivered similar performance at 10% of the cost. You can't buy a civic for the same price as that mustang and go faster. The common big displacement pushrod v8 is the way to go if you want to go fast. You can do the same 1/4 mile times in your civic as a mustang or fbod, but it will cost more. Also, there will be a point where you can not go faster. I've seen mustangs go 7 on a standard chassis (with some major mods like a cage, but still utilizing the unibody for the car shape), yet these fiberglass bodied, tube framed, customed everything civic's can only run 9's, and the full body civics are even slower. Now such speeds are out of my financial ballpark and probably yours too. If you are interested in ripping down GLD, you can get some pretty impressive times, but you could do it so much easier in a domestic.

Back to my lude being my fastest car can be attributed to some mods as well as my 5.0 being a bone-stock convertable with a low-ratio rear end as well as every feature available.

You mentioned those JDM engines from japan, and dollar/hp, you can do much better with a domestic engine swap. If you considered all of the engines available from japan, the top dogs are the skyline and supra engines, they are only pushing the government limited 276 hp by 75 hp in the skyline. As for my 5.0, Ford has a plethora of cheaper, more powerful crate engines, many rated at higher performance levels (double the legal limit)
http://www.fordcobraengines.com/460_506Horsepower.htm , and these are mild engines as well as bi=eing all-motor.

Chevy has their share too
http://allchevyengines.com/605-700.htm

I've seen 1000 hp domestics, but never an import other than a concept VW and Bugatti.

As for the 14 sec hondas, I've seen low 13 sec domestics for the same price.

You probably know that my daily driver is an integra LS. It is quick and good on gas. Also, I took it to blackhawk last week and had a great time. You should take your honda there. My point here is that my teg did well on that track. It is well balanced and very forgiving. The 1/4 is not where it will excel. I'd like to take it there, but only to make some fun runs, never competative.

You're absolutely correct about that. But why not just get a Go-Kart if you want to get a gutted small car to run fast? :rolleyes: ;). Some guys get woodies about their cars not weighing much. I'd rather have a 500 hp 4,000 lb car than a 250 hp 2,000 lb car lets say.

I like cars to be comfortable and functional :hump2: . I don't claim to be an expert with modifying Hondas or certain other types of cars but I don't see/hear many budget ones done...just lots of money thrown at them and having shops tune them for the owners. A fast car is a fast car but I just don't understand the fun in having someone do the work for you and spending much more than you have to to go fast.

That small V-8 was prolly the 267. I think Car Craft rated it as one of the worst V-8s when they did a top 10 list :D. The stock 305(most modified ones too ;) ) is a dog, I can't imagine what the 267 feels like.

I too have owned several Hondas in the day.

1990 Honda Accord EX 5spd
2000 Honda Prelude S 5spd
1989 Honda Civic Si hatchback 5spd

They are good cars. They are very easy to work on and they seem to hold up to a lot of abuse actually. My Prelude had gorgeous paint and there wasn't a squeak in the car at 36K miles when I traded it in. But Pig Pen is correct. Honda owners are like members of a frat. They buy a Honda and worship the mighty H gods or something. Maybe they have never ridden in a car with more potential or something? Not sure. They can be very capable cars but its not going to come under a tight budget thats for sure. Hatchbacks with motorswaps can be built for relatively cheap and be very capable auto X or track machines. Thats about it though. Unless you go NUTS and throw a ton of coin into the motor and trans then it might run a decent ET at the track. But there are so many better relatively inexpensive import platforms to start with if you are gonna go that route:

1991 Galant VR-4 (awd + turbo)
1st Gen DSM (can be found cheap: GSX= awd + turbo)
MKIV Supra (rwd + turbo)
RX-7 (rwd + turbo)

These are just a few. I would also agree that a Honda is a good entry-level tuner car. Buy one and figure how the suspension geometry and how to mod and stuff like that. Drive it for a few years and trade up to something quicker, like a turbo DSM or something. Thats the way to do it. There are cars out there that can go REALLY fast with competent modding from the land of the rising sun.

Like what has been proven on these boards over and over though, the Honda owners are loyal to their frat. I think Honda puts something in the vents to brainwash their customers into this cult-like loyalty.

Here's my breakdown of Honda's

1. Honda doesn't have a sports car in their lineup besides the s2000, which is still weak as hell for the price, VERY nice car though.

2. A civic/accord/del sol/minivan/whatever was never meant to go fast. It's meant for reliablity and gas mileage. Honda never had any intentions of making a sports car out of any of these.

3. There is nothing to worship about Honda as far as power goes. None of the top Honda runners use Honda parts. The only thing left stock is the freagin block, so there is no reason to praise Honda for the power, praise the aftermarket companies and the people who built them. Sorry boys, it's not a Honda anymore.

4. The fastest Honda went 10's, but can't be driven on the street. There are many american STREET rods driving around that have no problem touching 8's. Name a Honda other than a funny car that has ever gone that fast.

5. There's only so much you can get out of an engine that's displacement is smaller than a 2 liter bottle. Sure get your Octa-overheadcam 4 banger, I don't give a rats ass, most v-8's nowdays are overhead cam, and DOHC (cobra).

6. Do your GSR swap into a hatchback and you are still a 14 second car and wasted your money on an ugly looking car. Oh ****, I put some pullies/exhaust/gears for thousands less and I just passed you up and still had time to let off the gas and wave at you! That's right the car also weighs over 1000 pounds more.

7. Coulda-shoulda-woulda's dont' count for ****. HAY GUYZ, DO THIS GSR SWAP 13.7 EASILY...AT LEAST THAT'S WHAT I HEAR FROM THE INTERNET.

This post was not meant to offend any people with truly fast imports. However, it still does not change my mind. Just admit, there's only so much you can crank out of a small displacement engine.

notice: the Honda lineup is not designed to be potent on the dragstrip. Though they can be very capable on a road course. You can't just say Hondas are junk. There are millions of them on the road right now. A good majority with mods etc and they are good running cars that hold up very well. The Honda motor is "efficient." I thought it was common knowledge that Honda doesn't give a rats ass about building fast cars for the US consumer. Deciuss enlightened us all today by posting that. Honda will never jump into the "performance" market and try and sell a capable car that will compete with the EVOs, SRT-4s and STis cuz they could careless. They hate the fact that their cars are sold and resold and motors are transplanted into cars they were never designed to go into etc...They want to distance themselves from that whole scene.

Read my post from above. There are cars that have been built that are good import platforms to build a very capable car for the both dragstrip and daily commuter. You could build (with thought to daily driving in mind) a low 11 second 1st Gen DSM awd. It has been done and guys do it all the time. And thats a 2.0L.

The s2k is more of a 14 sec car. Despite the hp, they don't launch very well.

I see where you are coming from honda, you like your engines small, light, and high rpm power. There is nothing wrong with that, but it is not a good match on the 1/4. I would be great on a road course though. You should seriously consider trying out an event like autocross. SCCA does those events down at miller park. The Midwestern Council (MC) does outocross too, but at racetracks. The MC also has a wide variety of classes for cars. In "D" class, where my teg is, there are 4 classes; S stock, P prepared, M modified, and R race. Mine is DS. You might also get a kick out of my integra only being 11 seconds behind a prepared tt supra on a 1.95 mile track.

so now a S2k is a 13 sec car, and a GTP is a high 14sec car? I've witnessed stock gtp's do mid 14's, as I've seen S2Ks do the same. they are very restricted. raising the boost 2.5 psi and shedding nearly a second from "stock" times is good in my book, in a regular family car. GRNDL, quit playin' like a GN is "nothin" they aren't grandpa cars, anyone who thinks so is a crackhead. Everyone and their momma knows that GNs are some kind of underrated secret. The uneducated just think it takes a ton of money to make em fly. If they woulda made more of them, or if that drivetrain got into 2+2's and Aerocoupes, they'd be by far the most popular car from any generation.

These Honda guys......... they crack me up...... :sgay

don't you all know Hondas are better than anything GM, Ford or Mopar, even if their cars whip the **** out of em stock and modded??

and for the record, S2K's don't strike fear in my heart. Their just a typical Honda. You can't make a cake without the batter. And Honda can't make fast (Street, and on a stock motor) cars without torque. Just think if all us domestic guys did motor swaps etc. All the LS1 guys would get C5R motors, all the mopar guys would get crate B.B. Hemis, and all the Ford guys the left over LS1 engines (just kidding) All the L67 guys would ditch the blower for a turbo, or a Gen V blower, and imports will be an even bigger joke.

I forgot all the STi and Evo guys would rip out their AWD drivetrains and motors for something ,anything Honda so they can roll w/ the mighty "H"

I think anyone w/ a Honda should slap on the Honda "Wing" motorcycle badge, @ least they're respectable.

Man... I just read through all of this and all I can say is that I want to race this "honda" guy at an RSD. I know my car is slow and stupid. I just want to see why he thinks Hondas are so fast and compare it to my car. Ready for the challenge honda? If my slow Honda beats your fast Honda will you at least start realizing that Honda's just are not good for drag racing. If you win good for you and I'll bring a cookie just to shut you the hell up.

Also... Honda... Please stop posting times of OTHER PEOPLE'S cars and MAGAZINE REVIEWS. Those are either done with professional drivers or are estimates. If it isn't yours don't try being proud of it like it is.

Here's my breakdown of Honda's

1. Honda doesn't have a sports car in their lineup besides the s2000, which is still weak as hell for the price, VERY nice car though.

2. A civic/accord/del sol/minivan/whatever was never meant to go fast. It's meant for reliablity and gas mileage. Honda never had any intentions of making a sports car out of any of these.

3. There is nothing to worship about Honda as far as power goes. None of the top Honda runners use Honda parts. The only thing left stock is the freagin block, so there is no reason to praise Honda for the power, praise the aftermarket companies and the people who built them. Sorry boys, it's not a Honda anymore.

4. The fastest Honda went 10's, but can't be driven on the street. There are many american STREET rods driving around that have no problem touching 8's. Name a Honda other than a funny car that has ever gone that fast.

5. There's only so much you can get out of an engine that's displacement is smaller than a 2 liter bottle. Sure get your Octa-overheadcam 4 banger, I don't give a rats ass, most v-8's nowdays are overhead cam, and DOHC (cobra).

6. Do your GSR swap into a hatchback and you are still a 14 second car and wasted your money on an ugly looking car. Oh ****, I put some pullies/exhaust/gears for thousands less and I just passed you up and still had time to let off the gas and wave at you! That's right the car also weighs over 1000 pounds more.

7. Coulda-shoulda-woulda's dont' count for ****. HAY GUYZ, DO THIS GSR SWAP 13.7 EASILY...AT LEAST THAT'S WHAT I HEAR FROM THE INTERNET.

This post was not meant to offend any people with truly fast imports. However, it still does not change my mind. Just admit, there's only so much you can crank out of a small displacement engine.

Man 1st of all who cares just let me and the honda lovers love our car.
i can have a GSR swap in my car and save more gas and be just as fast as your gas hogger stang. Thats the point.

Any one down with racing me to california see who goes the furthis one full tAnk ONLY.

yeah just v8's and hondas rule.

so I guess those flat-4 boxer engines in the Subi's WRX an STIs the GM variants of the 3.8 turbo and sc'd, along w/ many others are also ****, oh...... wait.... Even those OWN hondas until the honda guy spends a couple grand just to stay side by side w/ those...... and those are the "slow" cars around BCM -- the 13 second cars. I'd rather be in a Ecotec Cavi waaaaayyyyy before I'm found in a Honda Civic, @ least they are a car that looks good to begin with.


LOL YOUR WRONG BUDDY CAVI ARE REPLECA OF A CIVIC TAKE A GOOD LOOK HAHAHAHA PUT A BODY KIT ON IT LOOKS THE SAME FROM DISTANCE ALL THE AMERICAN SPORT COMPACT CAR ARE REPLECA'S OF CIVICS AND INTEGRA'S. EVEN YOUR GTP HAS THE RICE OUT IMPORT LOOKS HAHA. I REST MY CASE.

What the hell are you talking no problem? I guess getting the MONEY, which is alot, is not a problem then.

We don't give a fuck either. We don't like your Frat Boy Honda internet racer theories so you should probably be the one to "get over it".

And one more thing, the Honda Frat's Mission Statement that they say before all meetings and street races, "Live long, drive slow, buy Honda."
Eat me, your Honduh is still lame.

Well, you can get to a point where a small engine will have to be so extreme that a larger, more docile engine will have an advantage in mileage.
