Almost lost to turbo CIVIC

METH HEAD
This bone head in a silver stock looking Civic chases me down going 100 mph. He gets in front of me at the next light and I think to myself, Ill jsut stay on his ass and show him how lame he is. At this point I dont know hes turboed. The light turns green and he floors it. I stay behind him and at about 40 I decided Ill calmyly walk around him just to be funny. Well, when I do I find that Im not passing him, infact, it seems hes ever so slightly creeping away. I let off to save myself utter embarasment. So he pulls up next to me at the next light and he says "not bad for 4psi huh". I said yeah not at all but I only had it 1/2 way to the floor. He says "really"!? First time I ever lied about anythign like that. I told him lets go again and he said ok. So I spool up and wasted him. I had a good 10 cars on him by the time I 60 and he was starting to pan out but I didnt see the point in keeping it up being that I had to soon turn to go home. He was pretty impressed and we gave each other a thumbs up and went our seperate ways.

Remember one of the unwritten SyTy commandments....."Thou shalt not race from a roll, lest ye face embaressment":rotf: Nice that you could show him how its done from a stop.

Sounds like a decent lil civic there. I'm impressed that he would even race from a stop.

Yeah a well done turboed Honda is nothing to mess with. Especially from a roll... Here's a friend of a friends Honda for one of our truck meets in PA:

"515 HP out of 2 liters *dyno proven*"

Re: Almost lost to turbo CIVIC

I almost lost to a turbo civic when I had my 76 stingray vette from about a 40mph roll. We were on a slight incline and tranny wouldn't kick down, thanks to my dad loosing the cable so I couldn't go to fast(soon as I got home I tightend the cable back up) We were even for a while then I started pulling on him at hight RPM's. I had a 350 with edelbrock manifold, carb and air cleaner, also flowmaster exhaust. Some of those turbo civics are fast.

Probably they are gay, but my friend's turboed Civic runs 11.55 at 130 MPH and it's street legal. It's walking from my Sy from a 60+ roll easily... And this is on pump gas with 20 psi of boost. And for the record my truck is far from stock, its best is 11.20 at 122 MPH...

The civics to be worried about are the ones that look stock...

I came across one last night. White with some nice black wheels. no stupid wing and just a few stickers. We both pulled up on the light. He reved it up. I could hear it was not stock. Sounded good. I was messing with my boost and only had it set on 7-9lbs. I decited not to run. He took off slow too. but I could hear the turbo. I got a feeling if I jumped on it I would be crying. He heard my turbo because at the next light he was smiling at me as he turned left.

With all my mods, on a stock engine with good tune I am looking for low 12's. It will take a bit for a Ty to be there, but dont give up. I think you could get mid 12's with the 20g. Tune in the chip, do some support mods, GET ALKY and you should easy be there. Dont give up. Half the fun is knowing you have a good tuned truck and you did it all.

I know a couple civics that will race you right here in town .... one a ver stock looking civic hatch untill the hood is opened to reveal a gt40r sitting on a top mount with a 4" turbo back exhaust ... might also add that he ran 10.4 @ 135 ... oh and dont forget the parachute mount out the rear bumper
