Thanks man ... Do u have a pic of a 7th gen convertible as well ???

The red old civic looks ugly though

I think the Red one is a 7th gen. If you look at the shape of the head lights and the grill. Looks to be an 01 to 03. I think..

Haha! The new issue of Super Street should be a good read. It features an all motor car vs. a turbo car. I just finished reading it. Good stuff!

im a canyon guy....so na > turbo..i choose response over power! =D

 
Rep Power: 251

hey man its just my opinion. 200 hp na will beat 200 hp turbo in teh canyons. and even then....200 hp vs 300 hp turbo would be traction vs tractionless..think about it

OK, it took me just as long to fill my Mp3 player to go mow the lawn to read this thread. I'm done now. It gets this. Although I can't compete with Alpha's mad Google Image searching skillz.

only problems is getting a transaxle to support that kind of power, even most standard aftermarket half shafts get destroyed at anything above 300. then there's the torque steer issue. the technology is starting to catch up, too bad it's still fairly expensive. then again you gotta pay to play.

I still have the original transmission and axle shafts that came in the car. I don't launch at 5k or anything but its held up to some serious abuse.

A kid at my school had an na d17a2 build. He had a shop by my house do it. Everything had to be made custom. He had this done back in 2005. He supposedly spent over 3,000 on the build, so i've heard. It dynoed around 160hp. (I never saw the charts) I have no way to really find out now because he wrapped it around a tree one night last year. DUI! Plus he got expelled for stealing a school bus and driving it through people's fences. People still talk about the whole stealing the bus thing.

HAHA wow thats crazy w/the bus thing


but that sucs too for him/car

if it really was 160 thats impressive but expensive

Ive went to that shop where he had his stuff done which is ARI and they said they couldn't remember what they did. They said he probably went to tokyo motorsports and they went to ARI for engine work. I couldn't find Tokyo Motorsports and i was told it went out of business. So the trail is cold. All this guy at school would say about it was its fully built and was dynoed at 160hp. He had a chrome ARI emblem where ex should have been. But for real that SOB was quick. The guy at ARI said he would port and re-valve my head. But im broke as hell right now and I didn't even ask for a quote... Damn $1,700 every 6 months insurance.

ive heard of cold soldering to fill the spaces around the valves where they open to raise compression and so there is almost no exhaust gasses left inside the chambers for when the oxygen is being pulled in when the piston goes down. have any of you heard of this before too??? and if you have, how good is it to do??

....and what if you own a d17a1 and its automatic?

man i wish my car was faster

 
Rep Power: 0

a d17a2 is knocked because it doesnt make that much power. andyman is boosted to 21 psi. you think your stock 1.7L would even touch that. n the civics internals are already pretty strong-just look how well andys engine is holding up on 21psi...for power you need turbo or swap. there simply isnt much power to be made from 1.7 liters...
