Aren't you the guy that claimed your 140hp 5spd ex beat a 197hp 6spd si? Just curious.
Oh, and your i-vtec doesn't kick in @ 5000-6000 rpms, those are si's. Your i-vtec kicks in closer to 3000 and it isn't geared towards giving you power, it's geared towards fuel economy. You won't feel a kick, and you'll barely even notice it if you do at all.
I'm not meaning to be an ass here or anything but please learn about your car. The r18 is a good engine and all but it's not fast in the least bit, it's not meant to be. Yeah it has a decent amount of pep for the fact that it's specifically geared towards economy, but it still isn't fast enough to try and go around racing people.
First you are being an ass right off.Second i never claimed my Ex beat an Si in fact <if you would of read it thouroughly > i said that the Si had 2 car lengths on me at the end and it was'nt a race i just dropped into fourth and we both sped to about 107. His car would of owned mine by bus lengths i know this.
Just do me a favor and read the post before you refer to it. I know my car is not fast but that does not phohibit me from doing whatever i want whenever i want. Thank you for your reply i appreciate your ignorant attempt to make me feel ashamed of my car.

I wasn't trying to make you ashamed of your car in the least bit, just trying to say it's not a race car. The si isn't a race car either, it's just a little more impressive.
Koenigsegg ccx2 = racecar
bugatti veyron - racecar
civic si = quick for an economy car.
Plus, if you hadn't got your panties in a wad about me asking a question, I did say that I was just curious. I'm sorry that I don't pay enough attention to reading worthless race threads to be able to recite them, that really is my bad. As for not being able to tell you what to do, you're absolutely right. I can't make you not to masterbate to pictures of 80 year old men dressed like batman, but I can tell you that it's stupid because there's 18 year old boobies out there.
Oh, and I love how you call me ignorant and yet you think that your vtec kicks @ 5 or 6 grand.
Learn about your car. Love it all you want, I actually am a huge fan of 8th gens so don't get it twisted. I just think that if you're going to post things like that you should at least know what you're talking about.
ok, ill be an ass, dont street race, its childish and stupid, u want to race, get out to the track, dont risk killing someone else because u need to see if ur dick is bigger than it really is, and while the quad 4 in the grand am might have some power, it blows headgaskets like hookers blow cocks, and its a shitty motor, and i-vtec in the r18 is junk, our n/a cars are not racecars, not even close, sporty, fun, peppy, maybe, but not racecars, grow up, and stop street racing, face it, ur hung like a midget....
sorry to sound like an ass, but grow up

i'm beginning to think the title of this specific forum, "Honda Civic Racing, Street Encounters and Competition Racing" should be edited to something like "Honda Civic autocross, drag and track racing", removing anything about street racing from the title, and threads such as this should be deleted or locked. if you wanna be a retard, and street race, fine, but the vast majority of people on this site neither support it, nor want to hear about it.

i agree, the title should be changed, do u know who the mod of this area is, maybe triz knows, cuz this is basically just promoting street racing, its just kinda silly, kids watch too much 2 fast, u cant be serious these days, i cant stand it, it seems like every stop light i come to someone wants to go at it, and im like, my car is slow, its not a racecar, and i let them waste the gas and say, see my dick is bigger, and i dont have to prove it on the street

I dunno, I thought I read it pretty carefully and you said you were racing a grand am, not an Si- correct?
Anyways, you guys just need to chill before the killing starts.
If we change the title of this sub-forum to what you said ambulance, then people will find another sub-forum to post about it in - off topic maybe. The point is, if people want to street race, they are going to- and if they want to post about it, they are going to.
"Honda Civic Racing, Street Encounters and Competition Racing"
To be honest, I think "Honda Civic" before each sub-forum is a little repetitive given the domain name, but anyways. It doesn’t specifically say, "street racing" in the title. "Street encounters" could be anything from seeing an Atom driving on the same road as you, to seeing an accident happen. A lot of people interpret that as street racing, and yeah- well, that is an encounter too. "Honda civic racing" does not specify legal vs non-legal, not auto-x vs. drag. "Competition racing" doesn’t spell out street racing to me either- what comes to mind is more along the lines of Nascar for civics- group track racing.
I'm going to create a sticky in this sub forum that touches on a few issues.
Triz will you have my babies? lol sorry man, I hate street racing too but you made a lot of good points in that. People are gonna do what they want no matter what so not much you can do about it except maybe ignore them when a post like this comes up.
Im not sure on what the AT is like as im sure its prob garbage and all as any other AT for the most part, not including top end cars!
But the MT models are not too shabby stock however i own the R18A1 modified somewhat and the car goes like a mofo now (No defense in vs. 5-6k iVTEC kick-in) but when you have what i have installed you can hear the iVTEC engage.
My current (engine related) mods are:
InJeN CAI
2.25" exhaust system w/2.25" glasspack for resonator
MeganRacing downpipe
This alone opens this model up quite signifigantly over stock version and sounds hella batter too. Ill try and get a VID of my car in action sometime soon, but im stoked for the Lightweight Flywheel & ACT clutch to get installed hopefully in the spring 08'
A few other minor details are things like the CF hood, removal of spare tire, roadside tools, etc.. just to drop a few pounds.
As fer your FG1 (R18) vs FG2 (K20)
57HP/11TQ are the numbers they have over base model versions.
Not to mention the FG2 are approx 200lb heavier in weight.
My point here is...with some mild modifications to come to 197Hp
wouldnt take a great deal to do however....
K20 has us because of the LSD, 6-SPEED and lets not forget about all the extra crap i would never use such as moonroof, spoiler, etc..
*Do not take this as a Si bash post ,cuz it aint!
my buddie has a Taffy Si and its sweet so dont get me wrong here k.
hey, we got nothing against the r, cuz u could say the same thing about our d17, basic model civics just arent fast, and i still love em, they are fun as hell, right now i wouldnt trade my civic for the world, i love it, but i just have to face it, its slow, period, but it sounds good, looks good, and its my baby, the r18 is a quick little motor, but if i ever get another civic, it will be dohc, and vtec, but in ur defense fgcoupe, there is nothing wrong with the 8th gen, its just not my cup o tea, were not hatin on vics, wed never do that, most of us are against street racing thats all

Oh man, I have nothing against r18's in any way (intake manifold excluded) but racing the base model against the sport model and expecting any outcome other than getting thrown in a hole and laughed at (stock for stock) is ridiculous.
Rep for being the first person to post something worth reading about the r18 instead of "my vtaaakk kicked in a I so totally pulled 4 fenderz on him like mad jdm tyte."
So my buddy with his 2002 grand am has always talked a bunch of shit about how bad his car would stomp my 07 Ex 5 spd so we took both of our cars out to Buckeye road he has a k&N intake system and mine is totally stock he counts to three and we both hit it all the way through 1st i have him by a nose shift into 2nd right at redline when i hear his intake start to scream 2nd gear vtec kicks in around 5-6000 and i pull all the way to my door handle on him after running through 3rd and into 4th he shuts it down i beat him by about a half car i thought for sure i would have had him by more but i still won his was an auto and had about 300 more pounds damn it was close those grand ams have some balls
