lost to a civic

So i was dropping my girl off at home and decide to take some videos back while i was out. On my way i see this guy i know go flying by. Me being dumb decides to catch up. i only do it because this guy is always talking about how his car is the fastest thing in the world.i always just laugh at him i mean don't get me wrong it's ok for a civic. We went 3 times and everytime we would start from about twenty or so and go to no more then seventy or eighty. Everytime my car would be at his back door and right when i would start pulling up he would let off. I'm no expert at racing so all i was doing was hitting the gas not even flooring it.The guy drives a four door civic slammed to the ground, kit carbon fiber hood,exhaust, he told me he just did an engine swap and converted it to stick and is spraying nitrous if he used it tonight i don't kno. All i have is an intake and two 12 inch subs. I never thought i would lose to a civic i guess its time to get those headers installed.

civics are alot lighter. dont be surprised if they beat u. not a big deal. CLs are better looking anyways and dont need to go fast to look good.

Negative. I'ved raced plenty of time against b16 hacthes and won. I've won against my friends modded 00' SI as well. This was all back when I had intake, headers, exhaust, pullies, and tuned. The GSR dc2 was a few other b series I've won against. Most were my friends cars, other were at the street races.

Did you state you weren't flooring it?????????

If so, ummm, the only thing I can do is laugh, and say fucking stomp it next time if you are racing.

d3 gets you to about 115 faster otherwise in d4 she goes into 4th early and your top end in 3rd is gone.

The bubble (egg) you're thinking of is the EP. 2000 SI is the EM1 chasis. Newer civics, EM2, the hacth SI is the EP, and the newest SI, I don't know the chasis code to.

headers wont do shit. You have no chance against a swapped civic unless your car is swapped or boosted.

sorry.

CLs aren't race cars.

headers wont give that much of push to beat a swapped civic.....

try this..... take ur intake out and put the stock back in... race again. if u lose by the same ammount chances are that small mods like intake / headers arent gonna do very much... dont get me wrong... they will increase HP but enough to the point where u would smash a swapped civic

The only civic that i have lost to was a turbo one.

It was black and with a huge wing. It looked really nasty....and was driving on the freeway. So I was like hmm why not, pulled up next to him...my window was down just a little bit, when I heard the turbo. I was like ahh fuck.

Right on, I value that higher than all the civic kids that live around me, they all claim to have motor swaps and nitrous and turbos, but yeah... they have um stock motors? FTL

LOL.

okay, the only CL on this board I was ever amazed by was Cocoa's. Beating an EVO at what, 20psi? That's a nice kill right there.

I'll put my boy's stock Z06 next to you. how about that right there?

bwahahahahahah.

i dont have a cl anymore.

it was a really really nice cruising car, girls loved it, and it was professional. i got mad love for it. but it's a boat. unless you add ALOT of power and/or take away ALOT of weight, it will remain a boat. last thread i saw with you, you did like... a custom intake or something. I really doubt that you're gonna do anything on the 2.3 motor to try to claim you can take anything you put beside it. shiney did a good job with his 2.2, he was spraying and he still only ran a 14 something.

I may be wrong, you may have some crazy swap in the works, but if you're ever out in the area, I'll bring it on. my teg will be waiting, in turns or in a straight line.
