Originally posted by 2k2_nbp_egg You have a low 16 second car stock, and this is a high 15 second car stock. I know that there are freak runs every now and then, like maybe a stock 7th gen EX running a 15.9 or 15.8
a gifted 7th gen ex from the factory still can't be a high 15 sec car. plz stop trying to pull shit. a celica gt stick IS 128lbs lighter, has more aggresive gear ratios, and 13 more hp/11lb-ft, but let's see...that car in hell ain't no high 15 sec car.
you guys are full of it.(SI OWNERS) Here is my story
this last thursday I was at the club (honda club) and this guy came
to join with a new civic SI, it only had 4k miles on it and 17s or 18s
rims on it everything else stock. So he started to look around and
he ask the president of the club for a pass with some one.
to make the story short we went to race .
the first pass I went up front 1 car length, when I hit 110 mph he
pass me, and when I hit 120mph I started to gain on him again.
the second pass it was the same way.
I test drove the SI and I don't think is a big deal. I think is a piece
of for the price. I personally wouldn't pay for it. Don't take me wrong
it has a nice engine but is too regulated, you have to invest money right
of the lot to maked perform nicely.
And you guys with SI's don't take this the wrong way, I like the new SI
I just don't think is good for the price.

realize people buy new si's for cheap now days?
i only paid around 17 with everything.
my payment went DOWN $ 13 every month.
i had 2002 civic ex. now i enjoy my new si.
Originally posted by PicCoLoboi02 i was at the end of my 3rd gear when i beat so basically 80-85 mph range...and also remember there was 2 ppl plus himself in his car (he was at least 200+ lbs)...and i was by myself. Remember the fact that my car was almost fully modded and also i have all the piping underneath my car even the testpipe so my whole piping underneath is hardly restricted at all and it freakin stinks. What kinda mods do you have FlyRiceRacer02? If you want proof...another member on here saw me race
not to ragg on any of you guys, i own a 03' si
i dont think you could do that to me! im not the best driver in the world but i could woop on EX I/H/E coups all day in my SI
i'll say the only reason why you beat the SI is because he had people in his car
honda engines dont do well with weight! SI is heavy as it is, but you add some big peeps in it and your done!
80-85? did you guys race starting from a stop light? or were you guys driving already then punched it?
im not doggin on any EX civic or any thing, its just I back my SI, there both honda's but still all on the driver!

stock si's will not "smoke" i/h/e ex's. let's get that straight first off.
second, why are ALL '02+ si owners soooooo stuck on their si's ... ? they are SLOW. Granted not quite as slow as the 7th gen coupes (they are NOT -that- much quicker), however they are newer, yet slower than the '00 Si's.
Ok, I don't know ... so plz clear up my confusion. older Si's are 1.6L dohc vtec, rated at 160 hp. Newer gen Si's are 2.0L, dohc i-vtec, yet still rated at 160 hp. However, it does have 20 more torque than the '00 version. It looks like to me, the newer Si's are SHITTY. Why is that? Because the car is heavier, the motor has the same hp. However, the motor is i-vtec ... and it also has electric power steering, which is supposed to free up hp... but the hp rating is the same. Shittier motor? I think so.
On another note, all the rest is stock except a cai? ... In another post, you mentioned you had hondata and a couple other things ... that doesn't sound like stock to me.
According to edmunds, a '00 si's 0-60 is 7.2 seconds ... while a '02+ si's 0-60 is 7.9 seconds. Other sites will mention that the '00 si's 0-60 is anywhere from 6.9-7.3 seconds ... average of 7.1 seconds. I found that the '02+'s are from 7.7-8.4 seconds ... which averages out to 8 seconds.

I've been up against si's with i/h/e, some had stock tires, some had 16's or 17's. I've beat them all...none have beat me yet. Maybe where you're at they do, here they do not, everywhere is different.

I'll help you out...not a shitty motor,no it's not. It is rev limited to 6800rpm where as the older one was 8000rpm, my dyno shows that the car keeps making power, give me more rpms and we'll see what happens:
In 90 degree weather
Althought, I must say that this new Si engine is shitty in a way as it runs vtec on the intake and not the exhaust cam. I don't know why in the world honda did that...and I know someone will try and say for better fuel economy..but come on, I don't drive mine for better fuel economy. By the way the cams constantly change timing, making that much better than the older one in my book, vtec is there when you want it, just stomp on the peddle.

i heard every car is different so maby all the si's that you were beating were wack ones or the civic that you have is a lucky one that was made better and is a lil bit faster than the other sedans, all i know is that you wont beat me, even if my car was stock and i had 20 people in my car, ya thats right 20!
hahaha just kidding, i suck with all my mods imsuppose to be getting low 15's but i only could get a 15.6 in 1/4 mile!
100+ degree weather though, so maby at 70 degree weather i could get that but i dont see that happenen at the race track we go to

shit, it's probably the same one SCC goes to, they get shitty time for all their cars where they go.
sorry ... I'm not trying to brag on you 02silverhb ... but your ep's kit reminds me of a toyota matrix ... T_T;;; no offense ...
as far as magazine/internet times go ... what? you think that's all bullshit? ... ok, so I guess a McLaren's 0-60 and 1/4 mile times are bullshit too? An STi's 0-60 in 4.8 seconds is bullshit? Oh, I see.

first it's rag, not brag. secondly I don't care if you think it looks like a matrix, because it doesn't
The kit is carbon fiber...before you ask...
You're quoting times again from a magazine, did you know that...meaning that anything could have been different when the 99-00 si went to the track versus the 02+ Si. I'm not talking about those cars you just mentioned...what do they have to do with the Si's

for the price. I personally wouldn't pay for it. Don't take me wrong 
so all a SI needs is a CAI and it'll smoke any 2002 ex with I/H/E?
