I'd rather not think about how much I've spent...

I especially dont want to think about it when i start to build the big block for the car... the 383 is only temporary. :D

I've spent about $45,000 so far.. And still got more stuff to do!

lets see:
HKS exhaust system: $425
custom rigged K&N SRAI: $50
valve header breather cap:$15
progress springs: $200
street scene 2 pc. grille set: $240
next level racing stage 1 G box: $75
fuzzy dice: $2
powered by nissan sticker to go along with my e-mail addy: $5
2 sets of high performance tires: $1,100
new windshield: $150
3 oil changes, 1 by dealer, 2 by me: $75
deductible after collision with an abnormally large racoon: $100
total: $2,437
add the 32,000 miles of gas@an average of 20 mpg=1,600gallons.....add an average over the last 3 years of paying on average about $1.65/gallon, and that adds up to a total $2,640 spent on gas alone.....factor in the insurance @ $1,500 a year for 3 years and that is $4,500. Add the total of modifications, maintinence, damage, gas, and insurance, and the grand total is *drumroll* $9,577! Wow, it's amazing that I even have any money for less important stuff like food and water after all that!

i've totalled it up to be about 18k including the car...

that includes a couple rebuilt motors and all my other work...

if i had just rebuilt the motor once, i'd be 5k richer...

you have a 91 crx in your sig, under your name...
and you claim you have an 88...

with an rsx motor, but with the crx trans?

the k20 motors spin the opposite way, so you've got 5 reverse gears?

please elaborate...

350 hp @ 21 psi at the fly wheel (no nos)
750 hp @21psi at the fly wheel (with nos).
you've got a 400hp shot of nitrous on the car?

and 20's?

and a bunch of cheap OBX parts?
Trust BL MX Exhaust System 3.5-Inch Mandrel-Bent System With 12-In Hotdog With twin Stainless 7-Inch Tips.
i've seen that before, and it sounds sketchy to say the least...

pics maybe?

i'm going to be the first to call you out on this one...

HAHAH that guy is great.. love his 'builld'

Take Notice that the only internal work he did to his motor is some 8:1 Pistons and Cam stuff... No bottom end work. Yet still is pushing 21lbs of boost... and a 400hp shot of Nitrous... RIGHTTTTTTTT.


My favorite is this...

PROFORMANCE: 11.403@145 MPH
0-100 in 4.6 sec
350 hp @ 21 psi at the fly wheel (no nos)
750 hp @21psi at the fly wheel (with nos)

wtf is Proformance? Its Performance!

And 0-100 in 4.6 seconds.. yet it still takes you 11.4 to clear the 1/4... Not to mention 145mph is wayy to fast for 11's. Thats about a 9 second run if im not mistaken.

And what does all this mean...

ENGINE:
Integra K20A
Part No: K20A Type R Engine Package
Price: USD $6,500.00
Yr.: 2001 Type R 1998cc,DOHC I-VTEC. 16V. Horsepower :220hp@8,000rpm,
Torque: 21.0kgm@7,000rpm, Compression: 11.5:1, FWD, Engine, Tranny, ECU, Wiring Harness.
Disp: 2.0

Im pretty sure the 2001 Integra Type R doesnt have the K20A motor, its got the B18C5. Pretty sure you're talking about the RSX Type R Motor... JDM spec

RSX Type R (http://www.evolutionimports.net/models.php#integra)

Oh... By the way.. your CRX isnt the fastest here.... Hybridsol's is faster by almost a full second... and its real.

haha yea funny shit

i thought it said 0-60 in 4.6. 0-100 he's dreaming. the only car i saw that had a 500 shot of nos was a 7 sec drag american car, looked very nice.

No guys.. really, I've seen the car! It's really really fast. You'd be surprised! He's got special 20's that help him do 11's at 145!! And why does he get 0-100 in 4.6? Because his 'worked' crx gear box has the special stuff that makes it 'worked.' Don't be so skeptical next time, guys. :rolleyes:

sorry but the RSX in Japan is an integra :flipa:

the rest of the piece by that dude is crap tho

twin turbo and only 350hp @ 22psi i don't think so not to mention i don't think it woulfit with the rest of that Engine in there unless he had done some serious body work.

flylwsi
05-09-2003, 12:22 PM
i was going to mention the integra/rsx thing, but the 2001 integra type r (in japan) was an rsx with the k20.

so that's feasible.

the trans and motor spinning in opposite directions wouldn't work...

and yeah, 145mph is 9 second territory..

and the last time i checked, Mugen only made all motor parts, which would mean high compression...
