actually increasing your compression ratio from say 8.5 to 9.5 would decrease drivability b/c you are more prone to detonation with 91 octane gas. it would be MORE RELIABLE and more drivable if you had 9.5 ratio with 93 octane like the east coast. also...wth are you talking about spooling up faster then me? that depends on how big the turbo is...not compression ratio you dumbass.

hey hothonda, we didnt get a chance to dyno it, because it had to go straight from our shop to a show. (yes, another showcar) Anyways, another one (non OZ) is coming in and we will get a chance to dyno it when the new dyno shop opens up.

Geez. All of you civic owners know that you'd take a k20 over your d17 anyday. Force induced or naturally aspirated, it doesn't matter. The k20 is a way better performance oriented engine.
Just stop trying to act like the d17 is in the same league as the k20, because it's not.

Rep Power: 400 I don't recall ever saying it was. That'd be like me saying "you rsx owners quit acting like the K20 is in the same league as the F20C1, cuz it's not". But I don't say that, because I don't make generalizations. 
Never said anything about the K20 being a better engine than the F20. There may be 1 or 2 rsx owners who actually feel that way, but that's just not me. The s2000 was made by honda to be a faster car, so why hate? I can accept the fact that the s2k is made to be faster than the rsx. Why can't civic owners accept the fact that the EP hatch is made to be faster than theirs?
It just seems like 70% of the members here think their cars are faster than some obviously superior cars on the road.
I see threads about the 7thgen EX beating:
1.) Civic SIs (ep)
2.) Rsx base
3.) 240sx
Then the rest of the members jump in and say that those cars above are slow and the civic is definately faster. That just annoys me...

Rep Power: 313 The base stock civic is not faster than abny of the above mentioned cars. But when you put some boost to it, free up the exhaust, and tune it, yes it can be faster than those.
It also depends on the drivers. At the track tonight, i saw an RSX-S run a 17.1 1/4 mile. The guy didnt know how to drive.
So if you get a guy who is real good at driving in a kinda beefy ex, and a guy who doesnt know the gas from the air vent in an RSX-S, i will bet you that the EX will win in the 1/4.

Now you say 70% of the members here.
Then you say it annoys you.
That is indeed unfurtnate.
I think 99.4% of members here don't really care if you are annoyed.
I'm beginning to think that's amusing.

Rep Power: 400 We certainly have threads where civics beat faster cars. In fact, all forums have threads where their car beats a faster car.
However, I don't get the impression that everyone sits here and goes "yeah our cars are faster, haha". We know our place on the food chain.

Here's a thread about the civic being faster than a 240sx. http://www.7thgencivic.com/forums/sh...threadid=98451
It's just funny how one person posts about killing an obviously faster car, then the rest (majority) of the other members who read the post are actually convinced that the civic is faster.

You're a funny little feller. You came here on the offense and now your having to play defense. That's your problem dude, not mine. Now go ahead on with your spewing. I wouldn't want to interrupt. Just pretend I'm not here.
