okay guys personally im not a big racer and i respect the civic alot, but i had to make this point.

apparently there is a group of these stock auto civic owners in my area
(all of them coupe, different trims) that always see the type-r wing on my rsx and wanna race. wtf??

i like the civic alot and its a cool car, but please beware, its very annoying to have civics wanna race me all day just cause i have a spoiler. and the funny thing is after i beat them, they flick me off and cuss me out.

sorry i was ranting, but juss had to let some of these ricers know in case they ever come read this
thanks

thats true, but auto cavaliers (LS sport coupes) and any cavalier after 2003 is faster then any auto civic. i have an auto, and i hate it. i really want a manual and am thinking of doing a swap this summer. would it be worth it for that extra couple of seconds speed over an auto??

i know how you feel. i get RSX's that constantly try to race me. maybe it's because they wanna see how well they do? i hope they dont think they have a chance when they're sporting just an intake and exhaust on their type s. but i digress.

on another note, i have a race story involving a type S and grand am from saturday i have yet to post about.

S2000man01 If someone with a type S has a hondata reflash I know you beat him off the start, but would he be able to hang with you?

His only chance would be from a roll. A type S with intake and hondata flash can stay dead even from a lower speed roll (say 25mph) to about 85-90mph. But then I'd start to pull on the top end fairly easily.

yah kinda sucks how some drivers think civics are fast (excluding turbo and nitrous or 10 grand n/a) Like people ask me about my car and I tell them its slow...i have no reason to lie. I love it when someone tells me my car is slow and I agree with them and bash it some more! I love my civic tho, even if its not fast.
silvrsx: just ignore them man...not even worth it.

s2000man did you see that video on clubrsx with the 02 or 03 type-s with cai/dcrh/hondata#4 with stock exhaust beating a 04 s2k off a roll and then a modded 01 or 02 s2k with cai,exhaust,clutch, and flywheel? Btw both races were off a roll at 60 mph and the rsx-s kept pullin

**** on you. I got my car as a gift, there was no choice about it. I do all the wrenchwork, and trust me, putting a turbo on is a lot more impressive than hooking up some lines to a tank.

yup. if you were to put the same cars vs me in an S2000, the outcome would be much different.

like i said, i had a friend who i used to race and cruise with. he had a type S with CAI and hondata. we'd race all the time. he'd never pull on me, and above 90, i would always pull on him.

unfortunately some people can't drive.
