Another BS story

There's a couple guys my gf goes to school with and they're always talkin about how there gonna get such & such car to whip my ass. Well the car for this week is a V-tec with (NOS) F&F word the actual car is unknown we just know it has a v-tec. Anyway aperently it runs 10. flat. (I honestly don't think either one of them have set foot on a dragstrip so throwin #'s around like 9's and 10's sounds posible to them) And those are the only mods they can list. v-tec and nitrous WOW. Oh and they want to put $200 on the race. I told them they might as well right me the check now, and that I would take my bottle out and run em on motor while they sprayed. Just had to make sure everyone else thought this was the dumbest story EVER.

:lol: get a video of it... that'll make it even worse for them after you bust his ass.

There are civics and sh!t that run those times....I just have never seen any :D ...get some more details on the car before you put up any $$$

this high school?
i could pretty much say it's a safe bet that no kid in high school is gonna have enough to get a vtec car to beat yours
quick story, my cousin has a civic si and he's got intake, exhaust, header, type r cams, and all the other bolt ons
i ran him with my stock z28 on bald tires and spun all first gear (first month with the car) and handed him his @$$
he's learned that he will never have his civic close enough to touch me so i'm sure you can take whatever punk tries to bring it
(and my cousin is a full time worker so he obviously had the money to get all this stuff and doesn't come close)

LOL don't worry if we ever really do race it will be taped. I'll even line up a car length back. I don't mean to sound cocky but i'm fairly confident against a bs rice burner with my setup. 94 z full exhaust and bolt-ons. 306 cam ported poished heads with 2.02, 1.60 valves. 1.6 rockers 3.73 gears elec. wp. and 125HP shot.

Spray them to just to make it better. Unless hes got a MASSIVE turbo hidden you don't have a thing to worry about

Ask him if it's 10's in the 1/8th or the quarter... could be either with a Civic.

Hey I'll run you......I race you with my 98-S10 Its got a beast of a 2.2 in it. It runs 9's. I bet I'll bust that ass. :D lol

he probly means 10's 0-60. :D

he probly means 10's 0-60. :D
lol thats hilarios. The thing is the guys we're talkin about would probably believe ya they would be like man a 2.2 my honda is only a 1.8 that things gotta fly. but my moms 2000 impala has the legendary 3.8 don't even mess with that :lol:

You sure the track near your house isn't an 1/8 mile track? Because I could then understand the 10 seconds lol.

94 z full exhaust and bolt-ons. 306 cam ported poished heads with 2.02, 1.60 valves. 1.6 rockers 3.73 gears elec. wp. and 125HP shot.

holy crap, you're looking at near 400rwhp with that setup NA. 480+ on juice. Give him 2 cars and run 1/4 mile... he's toast.

Lol same thing happend here ... these guys at my gfs school think that there 04 sunfire...intake thats it will take my trans am because my car is just an auto LOL. But since one of them treatened to kick my ass if i ever came to his school ... the next day i showed up and he ran away so i wont ever get to race cause he is scared of me.

Check his engine, race him and take his money. One to many times watching F&F, what a tumor it has become in the racing world :rolleyes:

If he wants to race for 200 bucks he sure as hell dont have a car in the 10's. maybe 2k but not 200

I have seen a few very fast Civics here in Orlando. Central Florida Turbos, a local group and shop, has some really quick cars, some in the 10's yes... However, those are few and far between. I am willing to bet your friends are talking 1/8 mile times.. Sounds about right for a vtec Honda.. :)

I would not put any money on a race, unless I could inspect the car first. Believe me, there are fast 4 poppers out there that can hand you your ass...

Your car has tons of mods.A civic will have maybe a 75 shot max.So it runs what 17s stock and 16.0 on spray? Unless he has a big freakin turbo the race is already one.On spray you have more power than a viper.You will completely destroy this his car...on spray or off.

I raced two imports this summer at local track.First to come up side and was not in my 99 but in my slower 96 z28 vert.For mods at the time I had induction,tb bypass,1le elbow,hpp tuning out,3.42 gears instead of stock 2.73 and magnaflow,maf translator.That was it.Oh had nittos too.
But didn't even bother heating them up.Guy was beside me and was talking about how fast his civic was..it had turbo and spray.They were talking about how it should run at least 14s..at least these guys were not thinking it would go 10s right off the bat..LOL and they thought I was a six I think for some reason,mabye cause its purple and the black z28 emblems become near invisible on a dark purple car and being a vert..the magnaflow isn't that loud at idle but it dont' sound like no six.. :cool:
They also hadn't seen my previous run against buddies 99 trans am.

So we line up.I didn't bother heatin the nittos that run,they were brand new and didn't feel like it.Anyway off we went and I ran a 14.3 at 96mph with a 2.18 60ft.Our track is at 1900 feet and the vert weighed 3800 pounds raceweight.
I just ran thru the quarter and no blue turbo civic was to be seen.I thought it should be a close race.I have the time slip somewhere and he ran a 16.5 yes no misprint at 85mph with a 2.8 60ft or something.My guess is he blew the tires off so bad and then he had to back off the gas or something or he just gave up or something was seriously screwed in his car.Tuning whatever.

I beat him by like 22 carlengths and that is huge on the track.My wife was laughing big time in the stands.I bought the z for her.
Now next time around in the staging lanes that same blue civic came up beside me..they weren't laughing at the purple z any more like the 1st time I was beside them and pretty sure they knew it was no six now!!

Anyway next race was a red civic.It had no turbo or nitrous I would presume and it ran a slightly better 60ft and 17 seconds forget the mph but it was pathetic.I think only a couple of new ford focuses were slower that day.
But I also saw a neon srt 4 choke all day and a wrx do equally bad.

So whats the deal..well front wheel drive cars are really easy to blow the tires off on especially with spray and turbos.They have teeny tiny tires.
They do ok on drag tires of course as does every car.My nittos helped me crush these little imports but even without them I can run a 2.3 on street tires at our unprepped track and still would have crushed them.

I have upped my vert mods this year but won't be able to use my new wet kit at the track without a rollbar.I also did more mods like a 2800 stall and
1.6 rockers,305 cam,underdrive balancer and may get some headers this year.

But like someone said there are fast as heck little civics out there,one guy in our town has an engine swapped one with spray not sure about turbos and its pretty darn quick.Gave a buddies near stock c5 a good run ,forget who won.But 10 second civics are super super rare.
I have a 92 talon awd.Talons can crush most cars off the line with like 1.6 60fts on street tires.But it takes a lot of money to get one in the 10s.Huge turbo,maybe spray,lots of fairly expensive supporting mods like giant intercooler,big injectors,etc etc.I am hoping to hit 10s this year but it wasn't that cheap to do it.

Bet him 500 bucks.this is free money and spray him anyway.Run what your brung.!!

Happy civic smoking!!!

I also forgot to mention that a group in our engineering department spent the entire year developing a lighweight drag racing suspension for a Turbo Civic they were going to run at the track in the spring. Our University rented out the track for a day last spring. I didnt get to go but my buddy who had a S/C Trans Am at the time did. He said everyone of the kids on the civic team road in on riced out cars and brought the civic in on a trailer. It was supposed to run 11's regularly and 10's with the new suspension. It ran 14 second quarter miles one on top of another. The suspension upgrade cost was outrageous and needless to say the domestic crowd boo'ed them off the track. According to my friend they were the running joke for the day since the annoucer said how they expected 10's with it everytime they ran and until they ran everyone of the kids were talking **** to the F-body guys. I think he even mentioned about them having 10 second club T-shirts or something. Again roast him and take his money, but make sure it isnt his daddy's heavly modded 9 second freak car or something.

I used to love the High School Car beef. I just graduated last year and got my car a week before I got my liscence. Funny part was, nobody in the surrounding school district had a car faster than it. :D So I was a monopoly.

Thats the same story with me. I actually got a full time job at the end of my junior year and saved my money and paid for everything I have. And there's so many kids whose momy and dady buy em these new import cars because they are sporty lookin and cheap to insure. And all the kids think they will fly. Just because its the fastest thing they have ever ridden in. they don't understand the feeling of doin 100mph and your head is still pined in the seat. There was a kid from my school who got a new celica GT (F&F edition) And everyone thought it was the fastest thing ever. asked him what all he had done and he said oh just factory turbo with nos. After informing him that I wasn't aware the new ceicas were turbo'd and that its pronounced nitrous. I wanted to go outside and check out his setup. But he was to buissy or some bull. Anyway a month or so later we were at the local trac and he was runnin. consistant mid 16's ohh I wish I was runnin that night :cool:

I was just wondering, hows it possible to get a civic in the 10s? What is needed? I drove one a while back that was stock and it had zero torque and zero hp. It felt like i needed to floor it to get anything over 25 and it was brand new.
I don't know if they have the same parts or not for imports but i would imagine youd definentally need a different engine, boost, nos, boltons, etc.
When i drove it i was so confused because so many people have civics and they think they are fast but when driving it, i could clearly tell it just wasn't the case, i was very disappointed with the pickup.
They are good economy cars but nothing else. You will definentally win.
Ricers are known to exaggerate.

F=m*a

Those little ****boxes are light. And when gutted, they'll weight next to nothing (i've heard a civic can be cut down to 23-2400lbs WITH the engine). Some are fast though, a friend of mine has a 99 or 00 civic, manual trans, and very little weight reduction (this guy is cool, NOT a ricer) and he blew the stock engine up with nitrous. He had the bottom end built back to stock specs with forged pistons (whole engine cost him about 1200 to build :death: ), ported the head himself, bigger cam(s), header, etc.... he runs 13.7s all night long all motor at darlington on good tires. The car was done right... no stickers, wings, bodykits, or damn stupid looking wheels. It looks like a stock lowered civic. THAT'S racing. What suprises me is that he'll beat me off the line even when i get traction and it takes me till about 70mph to catch him. And then i have about a carlength or two on him at about the 1/4 and i walk off after that. But know that this guy KNOWS what he's doing. Most don't have a clue. He has a turbo on the way and there's no doubt in my mind he'll have it running 11s by next fall if his driveline hold up.

They take a lot more work, but can be made into an 11sec car with the right setup. From there you're talking BIG $$$. MUCH easier to start with a V8 though.

I was just wondering, hows it possible to get a civic in the 10s? What is needed?

Big turbo, N20, gut (weight) and a built engine.

I was just wondering, hows it possible to get a civic in the 10s? What is needed?

Built motor + big turbo, slicks, weight reduction. Or n/a: bored, stroked 4 banger with a full race build (not streetable), 10,000+ rpm, slicks, weight reduction, etc.

When I was stock, I ran a turbo/nitrous Acura integra. He had HUGE slicks on the front of this thing and had about ten kids following him all around everywhere. Also had it trailored in. I think I cut a 2.07 60" to his 2.2"...Had him halfway down the track (1/8) and there he went....SCREAMING!!! i RAN A 8.9 @ 81, I think and he ran a 8.2 @ like 95 mph!!! This thing didnt have a good et for his trap speed but he was putting people down all night. Cool dude, but had a cocky following!!

The last ricer I knew that said his car would run a 10 took it to the track..Not knowing anything about cars , ran a 16. Im not joking either.

Then again I dont know the guy your dealing with.

these guys are also full of sh*** not mechanically enclined at all. And dont have the $$$ to buy a 10 sec. honda. Can't wait till spring, he will bow to the LT1 :bow:

Keep us posted.
