Raced a fast civic (Video!)

88coupe · 12-23-2002, 09:06 PM

Well me and my friends were just waiting for some prey and there wasn't a whole lot out at the time. Finally my friend noticed a guy he knew leaving the parking lot. He drives a 1999 Civic, SOHC motor running a turbo. Hell this car has the stock wheel covers on it. Sleeper for sure!

THE RACE:

Sorry for the darkness. It was a lot brighter before I imported it. It was clear as day on the camera. I love night vision!

Well I get one of my friends to ride with him so were evened out and to video it. Went from a 20 mph roll, I spun 1st through 2nd but it wasnt really that bad. Shut down at the top of 4th......This car is FAST for what its got I think (he runs 14.01@104!) I wish I would of powershifted and hooked up!
I'll stop describing the race just watch the video! Pictures worth a 1000 words well a video is even better!

p.s. How do guys like how my car sounds... I got Spintech Mufflers put on it, I really like them a lot!

Later, Cameron

dude not to be a d*ck, but you had him if you shifted faster from 2-3 then 3rd to 4th.

the sound of ur car sounds weird?? idk, im a flowmaster fan.

go race him again and show him whats up! (shift faster) YOU CAN DO IT! KICK THAT CLUTCH AND THROW THAT GEAR!

tireburner163 · 12-24-2002, 02:18 AM

agreed......hook up and shift.

88coupe · 12-24-2002, 03:04 AM

Ahh I knew it was coming. I normally power shift.... I just couldn't hit my gears that night, my timing was just off, I'm sure we all have our bad days too.

I know I needed to shift faster, i even said it in my first post. I don't really care if I lost, I had him 1st-4th and thats a quarter mile good enough for me. Besides hes cool as hell, he saw me in the mall yesterday and we bullshitted for a while.

Yeah I had flowmasters on the car before the spintechs, but every one and thier brother has them on thier mustangs, for a good reason, they sound bad ***. I really like how these ones sound compared to flows... real different.

Dark_5.0 · 12-24-2002, 09:11 AM

Yep that was some pretty slow shifting. From a roll isnt your strong point with a 99mph trap speed. Go from a dead stop and you will rape his @ss.

yea deff get him from a stop and blow the doors off him

88coupe · 12-25-2002, 12:36 AM

Yeah hopefully I'll run into him again this Friday at the meet.. I'll go from a stop and power shift it on em. Of Course I'll get it on video for yall.

ultraflo · 12-25-2002, 02:24 PM

Sounds like you were shifting a grain truck rather than trying to race the guy

...j/k

Sounds like you've learned your lesson though... we've all been there at one point or another. Though I've never been spanked by an import (tee-hee-hee-hee)

ide hope not if you're running low 10s!!

ultraflo · 12-25-2002, 07:18 PM

The car was stock at one point, lol, circa '95.

But then there wasn't a bunch of buzz bombs prowling the streets. Those were the good ol' days. *sigh*

Green93notch · 12-25-2002, 09:38 PM

lol is your car still on the street or just track now?

ultraflo · 12-25-2002, 10:11 PM

It was street driven until the beginning of this year... now it's a drag car.

Coupe50h · 12-26-2002, 12:42 AM

i ran a turbo civic one time, the guy was cool also, and he had stock wheels, no wings or anything, he ran 14.1 at 101 (5psi), i pulled him from a roll, but yea i did have to drive my car hard at the time, he wouldnt go from a stop since i was on stickies.

84LX89GT · 12-26-2002, 03:25 AM

I had a civic beat at the track in the 1/8th mile until he came storming up and ran a 13.8 at 104mph, but the guy had a supercharger/GSR engine, stripped car, etc. Those civics CAN be made fast, but all you need is $$$

your combo with a 1.7 60' would kill that sc'd civic,

I had a modded 3rd gen rx7 catch, and pass me at about the 1000ft and trapped 109 mph, i could hear the swoosh sound of that turbo.....thought he was beat

bri32zz · 12-26-2002, 11:00 PM

Unless I am running slicks on the street just about anything will take me. All I do is spin spin spin. If I even baby it I end up sideways

Goes to show ya traction is so important. Heck I think your car sounds good bro. Someday I will put mufflers on mine. I am running open exhuast right now I can not even hear myself think in the darn thing. But anyhow good race and keep on frying the rice!
