Help I was beat last weekend by a Civic
Twice! the first time I spun bad.
I also have 2 min video clip but I don't know how to post it.
I have long tubes;cut out;cai;reprogram;52mm mass;pully;free;3.73; I don't really want nitrous but I can either do cam cc306? or send heads to Lyodd what would you guys do?
by the way the civic has 16valve intek turbo aftercooled and nitrous how do they hook up with fwd?

 

LOL, there are some fast honda's out there. I drove a honda with a swap before my F-body, so I know they can be fast. Mine wasn't, lol. I would worry about turbo honda's, and especially turbo nitrous ones, because they usually have too large of a turbo and use the nitrous to spool the thing. LOL

There is always someone faster.

 

WHAT?! Go back out there and don't come back to this board until you redeem yourself. For shame!!!

haha, must have been a fast civic. Perhaps you just need some suspension work .

 

Hmmm

Sounds like you just spun bad... you have DR?

 

The key to beating them is traction. What kind of tires are you runnin?.

 

Get some drag radials!! How bad did he beat you? One, two, or more car lengths? Good tires should make up for at least one car length, or more depending on how bad you spun.

 

o.k. this was my first umm not legal race so I was excited and spun all the way through first my eyes seeing honda pull away wouldn't let my right foot lift to regain traction! running kuhmo 912s @32 psi. I have lowered the car and 18x10 zo6 rims I also have bmr relocation brackets but did not like the feel when autocrossing so they are in stock position. for the record at a 30mph start and him off bottle I kicked his butt so bad he did not wanna drag

 

Losing traction all through first can mean about 2s slower in the 1/4.
