talk about a needle in a haystack

 

Thats pretty badass. I wonder how much loot that cost him though. Im gonna guess at LEAST 50,000 with the car included.

 

trev- gotta say that dowloading the videos you post always happens REAL fast. I've never gotten dowload rates off my cable modem like I do when I pull your stuff down. 450+KB/sec on a dog-slow e-Machines PC with a 433 Celeron processor. PLAYING them is another matter. My mice just can run fast enough.

And spinning tires from a highway roll..... always entertaining.

 

I am an owner of fully built turbo civic as well as an fbody owner and a long time member of honda-tech.com and I can personally gurantee you that you can built a 10 second civic full interior. for less than 12k car included. I hope me saying this doesnt turn this thread to $hit because whenever anything positive gets said about Hondas here the threads get nasty.(which I dont want to happen) I can give you a complete breakdown of the cost of every thing needed (short of a good driver) to run 10's it has even been done for less than 10k

However the Civic in this video is a 99/00 Si which is like the SS of Civics their value remains high so the car alone cost over 10k bone stock but every mod on that car including the motor build adds up to around 7k he post on Honda-tech.

Its ironic you say this because u live in Jersey and new Jersey is home of some of the fastest street hondas. Fernando Cuhna recently ran couple 9 second passes in his daily driven full interior hatch. here is a link. the vids are halfway into the thread on the first page. he even beat a 10second camaro on one run

LINK TO THREAD scroll halfway down for the videos. and he isnt the fastest street honda


:thinks to self, hope this thread doesnt get bad:

 

Thats pretty amazing. Is that price including machine work, tunning, installation, upgrades to car to be able to take the power etc.? I figured it would be much more knowing Deric Massie from around here with his integra that was in the 2nd ultimate street car challenge for super street mag. He spent 80,000 including car. I don't know where it went or how its possible to spend that much on a car but I figured it cant be cheap with all things included to make a 10 second car.

 

could care less about fernando whoever or that link....when I see one at the track thats not gutted to he!! or completely dragged out run a good time then i might actually care...and on the streets even worse...til then Ill stay w/ my stangs and camaros

 

yes


his car is full interior, acura integra leather seats, roll cage, mats, carpets here is a PIC its a pretty decent setup. and running 9's at over 145mph in your daily driver is awesome 9.8@146 on slicks and 10.3@144 on street tires. not bad at all.

dont think I am comparing Hondas to fbodies or whatever but you have ricers who put on stickers and wings and gut thier cars and still run 14's and then you have people who take pride in their cars and build respectable cars thats are insanely fast and would pass for bone stock.

 

I don't understand how someone who lives 10 minutes from Englishtown can say you've never seen a quick honda that wasn't completely gutted at the track.

We have been going to the track 90% of wednesdays and 75% of fridays for the past 4+ years.

But if you wanna run for $$ against your car since all full interior Honda's are slow lemme know, we can run on the street in TR since thats close to you, we travel or at the track at ATCO since E-Town is closed for the season.

Either DOT Tire vs DOT Tire or Slick vs Slick your call....

I can arrange for multiple full interior cars to come, as well just lemme know your preferences.

BTW.... I have a slow VW only traps 120+ ...

 

Well of course you could. Get a late 80s to early 90's Honda for 2K or so and the rest goes into the drivetrain. You could probably do the same with an Fbody or Mustang of the same age. All would cost around 2k, give or take, for the basic car. Given the price and history of the respective industries, the Honda would likely be done via a turbo and the Fbodies and 'Stang via motor work and nitrous.

 

You can make ANY car fast if you want to spend the money. when I was in high school, a guy down the street from my dads had a 82 suburu hatchback that he put a Buick 6 cyl. turbo set up in and would run high 10's. but ya know what, it was a real fast car, but he still got **** on about it. I (at the time) had a 79 z-28 that at best would run a 14.2 and got the chicks!! Unfortunatly for the rice world, 98% of the rice cars on the road are stupid sticker cars with 400HP fart cans and 200HP wings. So it just gives the guys that really make nice cars a bad name. Lucky for f-body guys, a stock Z is a fair going car from the factory and looks cool......by the way, cant you get a turbo set up for a F-body?

 

I seen that video on the original site and my friend told me that the Supra was also stock. I dont know how true it is.

 

Funny.. evertime im in TR only place I see the imports is in White Castle parking lot looking at each others cars and watchin the muscle cars blow by til they get chased out...Yes I regularly do go to Etown and like I said its a needle in a haystack to see anything besides a wrx/evo/srt/supra/ or the 90's TT cars run anything respectable unless it came on a trailor(mainly im speakin of integra's,civics....), Guess im just weird, but I feel if I need to swap an engine to be fast or spend a large amount of money, then maybe the car just wasnt meant to be fast...and in that case like said above you can make anything fast. Guess im not alone seeing how drifting is taking off in the import world.

 

Im not choosing sides here but you sound like you had alot of bottled up feeling towards imports and needed a reason to let it all out because nothing you just said had anything to do with what he said. he didnt say anything about cost or motor swaps or anything. he just asked how is it you havent seen any worthy ones when u live so close to the track. then he asked if you want to run your car agaisnt one, tire for tire I mean u did just say you would be impressed if you saw a full interior non gutted to hell one run a decent time and he is offering to have you run against one. and he said he will travel to you.personally I want to see the video of this.

btw arent all 9 second cars needle in a haystack? on the internet sure they are easier to find but I never seen any street legal car run 9's in real life, at least u live 10 minutes away from a 9 second street honda. but whatever just race and get it over with we need new vids in this forum.

 

Ok first off, I never said there was definately fast honda/acuras at TR, I don't know what frequents down there, I said we would "TRAVEL" to you to race so if you would have obliged there would have been no excuses. But obviously you are afraid, because you avoided that part, but I don't know why since you say Fast Full Interior Imports don't exist.
We are from up north, Hole, P, 440 etc etc .

Next obviously you don't pay attention if you go to E-Town regularly cause first you say you never seen a respectable full interior honda and now it's a needle in the haystack. Cause you say run anything respectable and mention WRX/EVO/SRT and all those cars are running in the 13's with a few Evos and STI in the 12's... so if 13's are respectable then I dunno how you can say there are no respectable Honda's..

Just about everytime I go to the track there is atleast 2-3 Hondas running 11.99 and quick sometimes alot more. I mean 2 weeks ago there was 11 Honda/Acuras running 11.99 and quicker all street cars all weren't gutted.

Next you say if you have to swap an engine and spend "LARGE" amounts of money to go fast. What is "LARGE" amounts amounts of money ??? Obviously you have no clue how much money it takes to make an import quick.

Finally a friend just boughta Turbo GSR Civic Hatchback for $7000, he ran on bull**** 22x8x15 slicks, garbage 1.93 60ft an ran 11.82 @ 119mph, once he puts a decent slick that car will go 11.5X @ 119-120. For $7000... yup thats alot of money for a full interior street honda.. Like said above 10grand will get you 10's.
