Also those RSX that you raced were probably not Type S, they may have just had badges, because you wouldn't beat one in a single cam with i/e, unless the RSX driver was a dip$^%& and didn't know what he was doing. No offense.Nismo241 wrote:I've beaten a few stock RSX type-S in my next to stock single cam. I've also been beaten by a couple, but they weren't stock. I only have intake and exhaust. They claim that the type-s runs a 15.1 stock, I run a 15.5 and beat won so I'm not sure about those numbers.
I guarentee you they were type s. It doesn't matter what is done to the car if it still puts down the time...right? Well the claimed 15.1@90mph stock was done by a pro driver, I ran a 15.5@90mph, the avg driver would probably run a few tenths +/-slower than the pro.Ace wrote:

BTW, who buys a car and immediately puts a badge on it of something it's not
To my defense I had this girl at my school who bought an E36 318i, but as soon as she bought it she decked it with the M3 ground effects and badges. But the stupid part was that when she took off the 318i she left the glue like substance on the car and didn't remove it. So you could totally see 31M3, it was the biggest joke to all the people who knew anything about cars.Nismo241 wrote: BTW, who buys a car and immediately puts a badge on it of something it's not
Don't always assume its fast because it has a lot of horsepower. My mom's BMW 2001 330ci does 0-60 in 6.1. That's fast. What's the quarter mile time? 14.8. That's horrible considering it has over 220HP. A twin turbo Audi S4 does 0-60 in 5.4, but quarter mile is 14.2 (pretty bad for a twin-turbo).
With a I/H/E/clutch/cams setup on a 240, you can hit 15. And that's maybe 150-160rwhp. A huge difference.
It's all in the tuning. In my experience, I notice that cheaper cars off the lot are slower than cars that are tuned, even if the tuned cars have less HP. But then again, it also depends on wieght, skill of the driver, etc. There are so many variables, it makes the mind spin.
RSX's don't scare me. Civic Type-Rs don't scare me. GSRs don't scare me. I'll race em all.

Around here they would. My friends daily driven 94 hatch runs a 12.5 all motor, another aquaintance's race car just ran a 11.4 all motor. I have quite a few friends with GSR's and Civics in the 12's and 13's. Check out http://www.groundzeromotorsports.com and look at the members cars. That is some of the **** we have to deal with in oregon.Zebrahead wrote:RSX's don't scare me. Civic Type-Rs don't scare me. GSRs don't scare me. I'll race em all.

Do you really expect me to believe that a stock 13 year old car is going to be able to keep up with a brand new, 2002 model car with 40 more HP? Sorry, but this gets the flag. Unless the RSX hasn't been broken in yet, and the driver is taking it easy, or he is a complete reject, I really find this hard to believe. The 240 has about 10-15lbs more of torque, and its rear wheel drive, so off the line, the 240 should be in the lead. But once that RSX tops out 2nd, the race should be done. Don't mean to offend you, but that is really hard to believe. And on the highway, c'mon! 4th and 5th suck in a stock KA motor, you sure that guy was really racing, or just playing around?
PLEASE PROVE ME WRONG, I'D LOVE TO SMOKE AN RSX TYPE S!!!
And alot of people will buy badges to put on their car, to give the impression that they drive something they don't, you'd be surprised.
and I've actually seen a number of civics that would hand a porche its a** on the 1/4 mile strip, there is a white 10 second civic up here, and it..... well, 10 seconds, do I need to say anymore? It still has most of its interior too.
Hey Zebrahead, you said you race all those Hondas, but you failed to mention if you won or not? Don't make me pull the flag on you too......

I'm not HUGE on racing, it being dangerous and all, but a short distance race every once in a while doesn't hurt.
Nick.
That could not be more true...but look at it this way, why talk **** when you don't know? There is no reason not to believe it. They have 200hp at the flywheel, but how much at the wheels? HP is only a number, it means nothing if it can't put down the numbers at the track. Some guy ran a 16.0 in one this past weekend at the NHRA Sport Compact Nationals out at woodburn dragstrip, it was only at 87mph. Most mags that report 1/4 times use calculations on what a car would run, not an actual lighting tree and sensors. My car ran a solid 15.5@90mph, which is faster than any of the RSX's that I have seen...so why would me beating one be so hard to belive?FrEaK wrote:Hey everything sad on this board is hearsay until it is proven by a second person, caught on tape, or shown in a picture... thats just the way it goes....

OK, so you expect me to believe you? That almighty cold air intake that made up the 40HP difference, not to mention 17" rims that will slow your s*** down, c'mon man, you sure those type S's were even racing you? You probably did some ricer boy fly by. I'd love to race your SOHC s13 ANYDAY, its not about the car, but the driver. You gonna make a drive up north buddy? Talk all the crap you like, your word has just gone down the toilet. And your car can't even talk to my stock S14, you'd get burned buddy.Nismo241 wrote:
My car isn't stock, but be it lightly modded I can guarentee it would beat your DOHC, and many others. You call bull**** on beating a type S, thats fine, I'm sorry that you can't but I have, more than once.
oh, BTW, I was driving home last night and I saw a Dodge viper on the highway. He started revving so I dropped it into 3 and flew right by him. He dropped his gears, but that poor "little" viper just couldn't keep up to my monster stock 4 banger engine! Those viper guys think they are fast!!!
:rolleyes
my car is fast if I say so too!

I hear ya man. My buddy owns a siR and he's always ripping down the streets. But as soon as i pull up next to him, he NEVER wants to go. I even said lets just top out 2nd, but he refused.Zebrahead wrote:

HEY BRENDON, I've never raced a type S, but I can gaurantee you that with a half decent driver, he'd beat you no problem. Maybe not by much, get off the Honda's are inferior bull**** man, its a quick car.
If you were on any kind of highway, or open road, that RSX would have raped you...but he must have not been trying...The RSX-S revs out at 8k, what does yours rev out at? Just checking. Sorry to say but after 6k, the RSX would just pull and pull. My friend has a swapped honda, and he can beat many SIs, Type-Ss, and Preludes in the 1/4, but on the highway, they just rev to high for him...so like I said, the guy wasn't racing you.
If I take your reasoning, I've beaten many cars. They'll rev at me, I downshift and bounce, and they don't try to catch up, thats not a race, its them being p***y.

My car couldn't talk to your stock S14 huh? So basically your car now right? I mean look at your list of mods, who cares about shift knobs and paint. Take your car to the track and see if you can break a 16.0, then we'll talk. Have a talk with Rick, or 95240sx. Ask him what he ran with a little more mods than you. Then ask him what I ran. I'm not saying that demean rick in anyway, just a comparison.s14=pimpin' wrote:

how is 2 1/4" piping custom when thats stock? oh wait, you put 2 1/4' (2 and a quarter feet dumb fuc%?), damn, that must be real wide! I don't give 2 sh!ts what you ran on the track s*** for brains, its about the streets, so c'mon over and we'll see who wins. I raced my boy w/a 97 s14 with ALOT of mods and smoked him in a drag! Its all about the driver stupid, not the car.....
I could care less about your mods, and besides, my car is probably lighter than your 2 buddies and looks a million times better than your ride, even with your rims.
and I'll still smoke you in a race punk!
....... beat a RSX, its idiots like you that give this board a bad rep. Just cause you flew by a RSX or beat him off the line at a race up to 45mph doesn't mean your car is faster
HOW THICK IS YOUR FREAKIN' SKULL??????

BTW, I tune my car and upgrade items for my own personal satisfaction, not yours f*****! With all the money I invested, I could have easily dropped in an SR, but I want to do it properly and not rush into anything. I've taken the route of comfort, looks, handles, brakes and then power. And if i had an SR, you'd be licking my a**, begging friends with me, loser.
If you knew my story, I think you'd be pretty amazed with the fact that I have done this much to my car, let alone have another 240. I'm real proud of myself, and you and your s*** talking can stay out in the country.

Wow...I give boards like this a bad rep...HAHAHAHAHA, 2 1/4 inch piping isn't stock $hit for brains, try 1 3/4. You tune your car, what, do you adjust your "racing" pedals and steering wheel? You don't give a **** what is ran on the track because you're afraid of your inevitable 16 sec timeslip. It's people like you that give imports period a bad name. I'll bet you just learned how to drive a 5 speed and now you think you're hot $hit. I would guarentee I would smoke your a** and we'll find out soon enough when I go to BC for our next car show. Quit talking **** a show some results, I KNOW 100% that my car runs what it does, and I can prove it... can you? Didn't think so.
