Due to lack of funding this is the last episode of the season. Civ isn't getting paid too much for his so called "imaculate" performance and he's throwing a fit and dumping the show after this season. Plus, his steed has died, so this episode there was a replacement. Unless ratings can come back up, then maybe Civ will reconsider....J/K :)

The weekends arrival was more than welcomed to Civ. It had been such a long week for Civ, and nothing could have better than a relaxing weekend. Although this particular weekend Civ would find to be more exciting that he thought possible. Civs father was going to Seattle for some business, and although Civ was the one who had to drive to the airport, he wasn't going to be taking his trusty steed for this trip.

Civs father was in a generous mood, and allowed Civ to drive his white steed (3kgt) back from the airport to save Civ the trouble. Civs fathers steed was a steed that our Hero had dreamt about defeating one day. Hearing of his fathers decision our Hero was more than shocked to hear about this. Civ was ecstatic.

Upon their departure, Civ said good bye, and with his departing words, Civs father said, "Don't get caught" with a smile after those words. Civs only expression was :eek: . Never did he imagine those words to be spoken by the king himself. Still in shock, Civ slowly moved inside, and then started her up. That deep tone in his fathers steed gave a slight chill to our Hero. He slowly let off, and before Civ knew it, he was in for a moment he would not soon forget.

Travelling on the long path know as the Free Way, Civ took the time to "test" the limits of his fathers steed. Incredible was the first word that came to Civ's mind as he reached over 100 mph in a matter of seconds. During the "testing" period Civ struck the attention of a few ricers travelling by. Civ was quick to notice and slowed his pace. His newly found opponents came upon his side. His challengers steeds were quite horrific. It would seem that they were two frankenstein steeds. Pieces seemed to be pulled from all kinds of areas. Mismatched colors and body parts caused Civ to pull a smile, and thus doing so, upset his opponents.

Civ, feeling a bit more confident, gave his challengers a rev. His opponents, taking that as a signal to go, took off immediately. Some what surprised, Civ took chase, and within seconds, flew by his challengers. One opponent tried to fly-by our Hero, but Civ took action and put his father's steed to the test, and once again, crushed his opponent. That was that, his opponents stayed back, and didn't come forward again. "Wow" though Civ. Most would come back for more.

But all too soon, Civs journey home was a short one. This was an eye opening experience to Civ, and he couldn't wait to challenge his father for his place on the throne. But after experiencing the power of his fathers steed, Civ could only question how would he do. Only days seperated Civ and his fathers soon to be awaited battle. The one question that stuck in Civs head was "Could he do it?" Will Civ accomplish his goal, and dethrone his father, or is that just a mere goal that Civ could only dream about? We'll see.

Enjoy! L8...

His SL, it's white with a custom dual catback exhaust, and a K&N FIPK. Pretty quick. I'd say maybe high to mid 14 second car. L8...

What were you racing against?

Two Cavaliers, sorry forgot to mention those. They were just ugly. Seriously, they were like a puzzle with all the wrong pieces. Different color body kit pieces (yellow, blue, white), black hoods, green Z3 fenders, silver wings. I mean, just ugly. My fault for never saying, but honestly if you look at the details I just described, you would see they weren't worth mentioning. L8...

if ur saying that high 14 second cars are really fast, then i'm scared to think how SLOW your car must be :loser: ...j/k :lol:

i really like 3KGT's, and i hope your new mods help you fight for that position at the "top of the throne"

good luck :boink:

Yeah, I can't wait until the old man comes back. I'm dying to see how well I can fair against him. I don't necessarily think 14's are fast, quick, but not fast. I still think he'll have the edge on me, I shouldn't have bought him that FIPK :banghead: , but it was his delayed B-day present from me. Aren't I a good son? :biggrin:

Which reminds me, I need to get pics of my newly installed parts. I couldn't get the time to get to the shop and take pics of the install, but I can show you however the stock parts that came out. Maybe after I come back from my vacation I will. But that will be in about a week after I see the old man and try to race him again. But let me tell you, the Civic feels incredibly great. It seems as though it were brought to life. This pleases me. L8...

i know a 70 shot of laughing gas would almost ensure victory along with your mods. i would never call my car a steed, its too low tech for my taste. i would call my car, the "pretty girl" lol

How does a high 15-second car (according to car-stats.com anyway) turn into a mid to high 15-second car with an exhaust and a filter? I always thought the non VR-4's were boats. I dunno I might be wrong?

aww man i thought that 3kgt was a vr4 and your mod was like a supercharger or something for the civic. oh well...

Are you talkin about my car, or my dad's 3KGT? Because my Civ is probably a High 15's car, and there is no way that my old mans car is a high 15. If anything it's high to mid 14's.

TatII, Nitrous has always been on my mind since I bought these parts and decided to put them in. And I'm pretty sure that I am going to do it come this summer, but I'm very flakey and I can't make up my mind on whether to save up, TC the Civ as is now, or drop in a B18C1 which will cost an extra 2K more. Chances are, I'll wait and drop in a new motor, and substitute the TCer with Nitrous instead. Like I said, I'm flakey and there are just so many things that I want to do for the moment. New motor, Nitrous, Turbo, and I could go on and on...like I said, I'm flakey.

And SiGNAL748 and RedNeck, that's just the season finale, there are plenty more seasons to come :evillol: . L8...

I would definitely go with turbo. Or do u have a SOHC engine right now? Sorry my honda knowledge is very limited. Anyway, the turbo is always there when you need it. Nitrous is nice, but you can't use it all the time. The turbo you will feel everytime u give it even a little gas. Unless you want to go all motor of course

About the 3000gt, websites and such have that as a high 15 second car, I just don't understand how intake and exhaust would turn that into a mid to high 14 second car. Then again maybe those websites are a little off. Lemme know.

Websites tend to know jack about 3000gts.
Manual SLs and 91-96 Base models were mid 15 second cars...althougth some members have run 14.9 stock. With bpu's, mid-high 14s are attainable.

Thanks Igovert, I was going to say that Crunchymilk was thinking of auto 3KGTs. My dad has a manual, and I can tell you after experiencing a drive in it, I would highly doubt it to be a high 15's car. The manual trans can make one hell of difference with some cars, and in this case, it makes about 1 sec to .5 sec difference just depending on how good of a driver you are. L8...
