Not planning to race, but since I have both in the family, just wondering. Which one would win in a race? Civic is auto btw. I've driven both and the CL feels faster, but I really haven't had much of a chance to mess around with the Civic.

On an unrelated note, no badges or front plate for me anymore. Hope cops in WA don't care about plates.

 

CL... No doubt... Civics are slow as molasses unless modded.

 

they sure do. They got me for no front plate twice in bothell, and the state trooper got me for my tinted liscense plate cover, but didnt say anything about my completely black taillights

 

how much was the ticket?

I'm in high school so maybe I can play dumb

 

or has a SI logo on it too.

 

not even worth it, since your insurance would skyrocket.

 

the CL will take it no doubt... I just beat a 06 Si tonight like an hour ago coming home from school...

 

Never got the ticket for the front plate becasue i played bothell football and was wearing my shirt both times. and he let me go for the tint, but i think its like $101 ticket. What high school do u go to?

 

I thought that tickets like that didn't raise insurance?

Interlake HS

 

hmm i only know one kid from that school. Luke Phillips? ring a bell?

 

haha. i didn't read the whole thread and i thought you were going to race. but for cosmetic stuff on your car then no but you don't want stuff on you record anyways.

 

Uhh...I think that was the Luke that went on the New Orleans trip with me I know this is a small ass picture, but is this him?

 

yea thats him, i used to work with him

 

Compared to my old school, Interlake is really small

 

whats your old school?

 

It was a school in Dublin, OH so I doubt that you've heard of it

 

no shit? I figured with them having the same peak power as a 3.0, but weighing less they'd win for sure. Maybe their power band is just smaller than the 3.0's

 

The gear ratios played a big role, I noticed that he shifted sooner than my car (in D3, rode it all the way up to ~6000RPM)...

Idk what the Si has but i could only visually see the exhaust.

I just have a CAI as power mod...

 

Sorry dude..but I doubt it, unless you have some serious stuff done to your car..whatre you running?

 

the new civic's would give 2.x a run for their money, but 3.0's would beat it..........but not an Si. you probably beat an EX.
it has already been proven h22>j30................ so k20>h22>j30

 

Chivics = :theghey:

 

Si would eat up a 3.0, I've had a little run with a boosted Si sedan and that mofo pulled hard as hell.

 

The 1999-2001 SIR coupe was nice, not to be confused with the hatchback. Every gen before or after that

 

I've always proven j30>h22 CL....we have a few threads about the H22 CL's I've raced out in socal from 3 years back

It's always been j30>h22 untill someone else proves otherwise...

 

*cough*supraman vs subbuzz*cough*

 

 

no need to hate on the new civics there no joke. they come with really nice options. i drive new civics everyday at work

like azntl said the new civic would give a 2.x a run for it money.

ive drivin numerous 07 si's and a dozen 3.0's and IMO the Si would take it

but a 3.0 would smoke a base civic.

 

true, but so would any smaller coupe from honda of the past. Our cars are big, handle like a boat (stock) and are a bit too heavy for the f22 to pull around. the difference in hp is like, what 5 hp? base civics are 140hp i think. Aside from being relatively "fast" like the SI, civics dont appeal to me at all, i wudnt be caught dead in one

 

the older civic's we're slower than the 2.2........i pulled a few cars on the last gen civic before the new body style.

 

subbuzz's car was never running right. He had tranny issues and engine problems.

 

must have been an auto base 115 hp one. I'm certain that a 5pd SI can go with a 2.x 5pd. I wouldnt be sure i can beat one, considering its much newer than my 97 cl.

 

the 99 si would take your 2.2 especially automatic. my friend has one, and he pulls on me, but i can stick with him pretty good. And even the 92-95 ex sohc vtecs arent bad either my other friend has one, and becasue the car is so light, they are pretty quick, couldnt beat me, but sticks with me easily

 

95+ ex sohc's are REALLY slow, my friend just bought one.....he was behind me and my friend with the avenger was next to me, we went from a 35roll and that civic was about 4 cars back when the race was done........

but yeah theres no way i can keep up with any Si.

 

yeah it wasnt an SI, i thought they were like 135hp or something for the base?

 

........we need another 3.0 vs h22 race on video

 

yea you can an 84-87 CRX Si, a 88-91 civic si hatch, a 88-91 CRX Si, and a 92-95 bubble Si. dont limit yourself. lol

 

damn, we had some on video, but ryan never posted them. he has a 350z now, and i lost his number years ago.

 

I got pulled over for not having a front license plate, but i had it in my front window, and he just told me to put it back on the front but I never did LOL. But that was a LONG time ago. So i dont think cops in WA really look for that kinda stuff!

 

So today I just noticed security cameras in my school student parking lot...I wonder how long they've been there...

hopefully not long because I've done some crazy stuff in that parking lot lol

 

i can make one if Playaha8ta (new H22 member) want to race any 3.0's. (cocoa not included). i think he needs to fix his car first.
