Straight owned an EX
So im leaving work one day, cruising along and i stop at a light. This stock EX civic '01 '02 coupe pulls next to me. I notice hes in an automatic cause he looks down revs it and drops it back in to D. So i gotta race this guy now. Off the line i immediately take like 2 car lengths on him. And either this guy sucks at driving or something, cause he was in an auto, im in a manual with a non V-TEC motor. And i beat his *** through all the gears. Then i slow down not wanting to get a ticket or anything further along the road, and he does a fly bye, in which i drop it back into 3rd, and easily catch up and pass the ****er...
SRI and Catback help a **** load. Im surprised i beat his *** so much cause of the EX LX difference.
Well, it was fun for me [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

Rep Power: 0 LX 115 hp EX 127 hp, Plus i wasnt that confident in my driving ability, thats why i figured i would get beat, cause all he basically has to do is stomp on it. He has the VTEC and stuff and i dont... so i thought he would beat me. But i guess not [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

Rep Power: 0 well, "rated" hp and actual whp are 2 different things. There's only like 1-2whp difference between the EX and LX, and if he had an automatic and you have a stick, that difference goes straight down the toilet. and oh yea - VTEC means nothing - it's still a SOHC 1.7L[IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]
The only real gauge of your driving ability is to take it to the track and make a few runs.

Rep Power: 0 I could tell you what the secret is, but he'd beat you even without it, so I won't
btw, I also have an LX with CAI and (formerly)catback, and trust me, he could beat you. he beat me......

I removed the stock 14b turbo in favor of a big16g ported and matched it with a 95+ manifold because they flow better. 550cc injector controlled by the greddy e-manage. Spearco front mount. supra fuel pump. greddy boost guage greedy egt gauge. dsm pocketlogger runing on a m100 palm. car weights approx 2,335 with a driver and half a tank of gas. Also it has a 2.5" exhuast and down pipe no cat. laying the power to the ground are set of moddified gsx spring(made for a 3,500lb car) drop the car more than 2 inches with kyb agx adjustable struts. I have a road race engineering front solid state strut bar. k&n airfilter 2.5" ic pipes.
