00' CIVIC Si

[driftnS13 240sx]

well for about a month now this stupid kid from my school has been talkin sh*t bout how his civic si would smoke my a** .. well today he reved his engine next 2 me at a stop lite.. i looked over at him and looked at the lite and bak at him again.. he reved again and we waited for the lite.. it turned green and i dropped it clean into 1st killed him off the line and continued 2 stay ahead of him .. time i was in 3rd he was in my rearview, i looked up and laughed, continued 2 pull intil we got into town where i have 2 turn left 2 go 2 work and slide sideways into the road .. he followed me 2 my work and drove by starin .. i cant wait 2 get bak 2 school morrow so i can hear his lame *** excuse y he didnt smoke my a** lol.. o ya hes got a CAI , catback , and some performance module crap.. i think he thinks hes got somethin on me bc he has rims , bodykit, and a wing lol o ya and evryone knows that those damn stickers add 40HP haha.. and my 240 is painted in flat black because i havent gotten around 2 paintin it in the flip flop paint(waitin 4 summa)..

Congrats, now give yourself one of these

mmm i want a cookie too ;]

Congrats, now give yourself one of these

i'll take one. i havent had lunch.

killing ricers is fun though eh?

if your 240 is sitll on the ka with no major mods, that civic should have beaten you. The b16a is a good motor and that guy needs to learn how to drive it. Should be capable of mid 15's the way it stands. Hvae your friend learn how to drive then do it again.

What are you running under your hood? If you stock he must suck at driving. The SI is not a slow car they are pretty quick. Theink about it he is lighter has more hp but a lot less torque and traction. It just really hard to find traction in them in first gear. I beat a stock si with my stock integra LS. Thats what an 40 hp difference. I know I should of lost but he couldn't drive the car worth for **** so I burnt him. The The idiot blew his engine the other day because he wanted to put a 100 shot nitrous system in his car. I told him not to do it but he would'nt listen. The idiot trigered it close to redline racing mustang GT and he over reved it got scared let it bounce on the rev limiter too many time and then the loud knocking happend.

nitrous is cool

[SienSil80]

I'm sorry but a civic SI is far from fast. Neither are 15's fast.

[xyster]

I smoked i/e and stock Civic Si's in both my stock S14 and S13. Those Si's are not that fast...kinda quick, but that's all. Maybe they're hard to drive, I dunno.

[kahoots240]

I dont get it. How can someone drivie a car you have to redline just to get it to move???

:bonghit

[SmithSR]

You don't have to redline it just to move it, but the vtec kicks in @7000, run it up to 8,000(<--this is a very fast moment in time) and keep pushing until fuel cut... it's kinda fun.

With some 205/55-16 RA-1 competition tires on my '99 si(identical to '00) and suspension set up for road course, it was lots of fun to push the car and keep it in vtec range.. in between 7 -- 8k rpm.

Problem with drag racing is, even with a very skilled driver, the 1-2 shift will drop the engine below vtec engagement. All other up shifts at redline will keep the rpm within vtec. Hammer gear one up to just over 8k rpm, crisp shift, back on the gas in 2nd and engine pickup rpm will be just under vtec, robbing you of precious time until you re-enter the powerband. Throttle modulation will help maintain rpm, but at the cost of clutch slip at already high rpm.

You can only get so much wheel speed out of first, then hit gear 2 and engine rpm matches gearing, to bring the engine below vtec

easy to beat up on the '99-00 Si models.

[tegls1]

true true. You just have to know how to drive them. you cant drive them like all other cars. They just wont do crap without vtec.

seinsil80- you have two cars I would love to have.

[richd]

VTEC changeover for a 99-00 Si is more likely 5000-5500 rpms. My GS-R changed between 4400-5000 rpms, depending on throttle position. If you gauge the changeover by the sound, you will 'hear' the short intake runners open up at 6000rpms (GS-R) or maybe 7000rpms (Si, don't know exactly), but not the cam changeover. They design the cam crossover to occur at a point before the standard lobe dies out but before the aggressive lobe starts peaking to make for a smooth and undetectable transition.

I've heard of people messing with the cam crossover pushing it up to 6000+ rpms, if I remember correctly they said the tires would spin running WOT through the crossover (lower gear I'm sure).

I actually installed 2 LEDs in the dash that were wired to the ECU's VTEC outputs. It was cool to watch. It was actually useful during high speed cruising (90+mph) because I could avoid the aggressive lobes by very gently accelerating. Lots of fun.

my buddy has a '00 si... its slow until he runs on the hwy...pulls quite hard...gotta love top end

im runnin injen cold air intake , apexi dual N1, hotshot header,stage1clutch, kyb agx, secondary butterfly removed, complete engine rebild, 5 speed transmission swap(kept auto ecu=no speed limiter) 300zx fuel filter, and a few small other things..

be cool, stay in school:rolleyes

[POS_S13]

civics shouldn't be underestimated all the time, my friend has a blue 2000 si, but he's got a turboed B20 motor under the hood making a little over 300hp to the fly. the thing i like about it is that theres no bodykit or huge jdm tyte wang on his car.

nice kill buddy, but that guy in the civic can't drive if he couldn't at least keep up with you

[driftnS13 240sx]

o he cant drive worth **** really but thas what i was gettin at he talks crap but cant bak it up on the blacktop, lol

[WingsNThangs]

i was in 3rd he was in my rearview, i looked up and laughed,

Do people really laugh out loud while theyre racing? Seems like something only a cartoon would do. Like some evil villain from Batman. "Muahahhahahahahahah" Must be the same people who make overexpressed cartoon faces while taking a dump.

[driftnS13 240sx]

hahaha ya im an evil villian , well maybe 2 a civic
