I was just wondering what you guys (and gals) have smoked in your cars? I don't have a car since I'm not old enough.. But with my dad I've been delivering whoop-ass with: 1997 Chevrolet Camaro 5,7 V8, some bimmers, BMW 850 Ci.. The one I liked most was the Chevy...
BTW: Do any people here on AF own a cool car like a Ferrari or something? (You don't have to mention P-Man).. :ylsuper

I have beaten a few rare cars on my R1, most are ferrari's, have only seen 4 lambos out here, and they didnt want to race :( Otherwise I have killed a zillion vets, camaros, transams, rustangs.

Even if their car could beat me, their driven wouldn't be able to, especially since I put a bottle on my bike :)

Try browsing the appropriate forums, and you will see the owners of those cars..

There are like 6 people on AF here who own Deloreans.

We all own Ferrari's and Lambo's though. IN OUR DREAMS!!!!!!!!

Man, you're CRAZY!!! An R1 can probably beat a sportscar without anything anyways since it has a top speed of about 175mph already, but, I could see if you race other bikes or the BIG & BAD sportscars. By the way, where do you put that thing on your bike? It must be really small.

Yea, that's what I'm saying. (Just pictures worst case scenario with nitrous on the back of an R1 *Hits 175mph with bike and presses the nitro as the instant boost of speed causes the bike's front wheel to lift up as suddenly the bike over-rotates at 200+mph, flies into the air, and completes a series of 14 full backflips, while he (The rider) completes a series of over 20 flips, rolls, twisties, and every other gymnastic and breakdance move known to man in mid-air and lands in the ground*). (By the way, I never want this to happen to you; though. Just be careful.):sun:

Nitrous does add an incredible amount of power to the wheels. I attached the bottle to the left side of the passenger footpeg, and it is small compared to a large bottle meant for a car. R1's, and most sportsbikes, have tach limiters, so using nitrous at 175mph would do nothing. I usually do race alot of very sporty cars, and other sportsbikes, me and a couple of my friends usually head up to tortilla flats to do racing. Depending on the cc of the bike is usually how we determine at what speed to stop, like a 600cc bike would stop at 150mph, while a 1liter would be 160-170. I tend to shift early into third gear, so when I hit the nono horn button the nitrous will not flip me, but will make it seem like I am in first gear again.

Daily you will never see me with it on, only for when I know I am racing do I use it.

Alright, man. That's cool. As long as you know what you're doing and do it responsibly. Well, nitrous does sound really cool on a sportbike and maybe someday I'll have the skill to handle it. The R1 is my favorite bike also (Well, let's just say that it's one of my favorites because I'm always changing my mind.). If you don't mind me asking, what color R1 do you have? And, some more questions, is you're nitrous tank specially made for motorcycles or did you have to do a little customizing (If so, how did you get it on there?) and (About nitrous tanks) are the tanks refillable and how much does it usually cost to get the tanks installed and everything (Or, easier, how much are the tanks?)? Sorry for all of the questions :(

Nitrous on your R1, R1? (:bloated: that made sense not) That's almost as crazy as that shop in Tokyo that builds turbo Hayabusas, without limiters. Scary!

My car's kind of exotic. Layla, (for that is her name) is a 1970 MGB GT, LHD (left-hand drive) with the 1800cc high compression single carb engine, knock off 52 spoke wire wheels, black vinyl interior, and is painted Royale Blue, a 1970 only color (that, while attractive, wasn't very popular). According to the MG registry, there are only 17 MG's in the WORLD optioned out like Layla. Her book value (mint, which she is not) is $18,500, which is ludacris money for an MGB GT.

I practically stole her at $450. :angel:

:eek2: Ummmmm, a disturbing thought passed through my mind, and it was, "What if you equipped nitrous oxide to that thing?" But aside from that, is there a website for that bike? And is the bike available in the U.S.? And, as asked before, how much is it? Is it even street legal? Too...many...questions...:confused:

11-17-2002, 09:53 AM
I don't know if that's the bike I was talking about, but the one I was talking about was a tuner special from Japan. You probably could buy the parts and install them yourself. As far a street legality goes, I've no idea what the laws are on motorcycles.

Not to mention, nitrous oxide is a BAD BAD BAD thing with a turbo. Nitrous oxide is good for drag racing big blocks. It has no place in a Wangan runner like a turbo Haybusa.

Actually, nitrous works quite well with turbochargers, you just have to have a really good fuel setup, and a strong enough engine to use it.

Yes, there really is a Type R honda

The latest one is the Honda Civic R

"R" stands for Racing. So the Civic Type-R is exactly what you'd expect - a lean, mean and focused road going race car. It's the latest in a line of no compromise sports thoroughbreds from Honda - a car suitable for the road, but whose heritage comes straight from the racetrack.

Powered by a new 2.0 litre DOHC i-VTEC engine developing a mighty 200 PS (197 bhp) at 7,400 rpm, the new Civic rockets to 60mph in 6.4 seconds - and carries on to top 146 mph. Maximum torque is 196Nm (145lb-ft) at 5,900rpm, promising levels of performance better than of the Integra Type-R - the car that the Civic Type-R replaces.

Rumor has it that in 2004 Honda will release an Si model civic in the EX body style coupe.

The whole reason that I bought the EX over the Si was because I hated that Eggshaped body style.

Okay, seriously, 197hp is not exactly mighty, and 60 in 6.4 seconds, although not slow, is not rocketing.

It's one thing to like the Type R as a reasonably sporty Civic, but come on, don't play it up to be something it isn't.

unmodified yes they are mearly quick as goes for most sports cars stock, with the exception of the obvious more expensive cars. But the torque to hp availability for the type R series - from a 4 cylinder motor is amazing. The car is also one of the most easily modified. Granted the most recent are still being mapped out. But even the K series has great potential for honda's future.

Hybridsol, I don't really see how there could be too much potential left in a naturally aspirated 2 liter engine making 200hp... I think the only big hp gains would be at the expense of torque and driveability.

manipulation of torque/hp gains systems through honda's in anything but the ordinary the reason you think that a 2 liter motor or rather 1.8 is b/c your thinking in terms of a domestic with the same liter/hp. I don't think you quite grasp honda's "torque to HP" availability, (I know Ive done this comparison before please bare with me) lets compare an s2k to a E36M3 Beemer regarding torque. The S2000 motor produces 240 HP at it's peak of 8300 RPM. The E36 M3 motor produces an identical 240 HP at it's peak of 6000 RPM. However, the BMW motor produces 236 lb-ft of torque at a relatively low 3800 RPM, while the S2000 motor produces a mere 150 lb-ft of torque at 7500 RPM. Yet, if one compares 1/4 mile times and 0-60 MPH times, they are nearly identical. How can they do this given the vast difference in torque output of each motor right.? A car accelerates hardest (fastest) at it's torque peak. In the case of the M3, this happens at a low 3800 RPM. On the Honda, peak acceleration doesn't occur until 7500 RPM, and peak HP is achieved at 8300 RPM. Where the BMW is forced to shift at 6000 RPM (it's HP peak), the Honda is still pulling towards it's torque peak, and eventually it's HP peak. So while the Honda motor doesn't pull harder than the BMW, it's high torque peak allows it to pull longer. Ok torque and horsepower. Torque can be multiplied through gearing, while horsepower remains unchanged. The Honda can be geared to produce sufficient torque in the (low RPM range) to allow it to accelerate strongly right up until it hits it's own torque peak. This also allows the Honda to accelerate strongly up to it's HP peak at 8300 RPM prior to shifting. As each car shifts gears, you are effectively reducing the torque available to the rear wheels in exchange for speed. This is what allows a car with significantly less torque, but equal HP, to accelerate at a nearly equivalent rate. ok bottom line honda's don't lack torque, they thrive in it. few manufacturer's posses honda's ability to maniputale that ratio utilizing 4 cylider's and a 1.8 or 2.0 liter motor. Your entitled to your opinion, but I feel a need to defend my POV due to the fact that the motor in my car is a b18c5 or type R motor. I dyno my del sol at 355 Horsepower / 270 lbft Torque. ofcourse that is turbo equipped and modified. But still a feat utilizing a 4 cylinder motor. I don't know of very many motors capable of this availability ratio. What I do know is that many company's are presently trying to copy honda's technology.

Hybridsol, you're one of the few Honda people that I run into who actually make a good case for having an engine that has all the usefulness of a Briggs & Stratton 4hp lawnmower below 5000rpm.

Just Kidding.

I happen to like the V-6 they put in the NSX, and would like to see them create a 3.6L six for the next generation of NSX's, so that they can take an even lighter and even more aerodynamically efficient car to the GT class in the ALMS and at Le Mans and lay waste to all those FUCKING 911's!!! I AM SO FUCKING SICK OF SEEING PORSCHE 911's WINNING GT CLASS EVENTS! WILL THE ACO GIVE THE GT CLASS A BREAK AND FUCKING BAN PORSCHE UNTIL AT LEAST FIVE OTHER MANUFACTURERS CAN BEAT THEM??????? AND THEN NOT TAKE AWAY THEIR ADVANTAGE LIKE THEY DID WITH BMW, NO WONDER I DIDN'T GO TO MID-OHIO THIS YEAR. SHIT, THE CAPS LOCK IS FROZEN.... There we go.... :angel:

A 545hp Cavalier.......

I hope you aren't just goofing with us, since that would be a fairly cool sight. I usually refer to Cavaliers as Cadavers, since I'm of the opinion that they have one of the worst showroom stock FF suspension setups out there and have rubbery transmissions to boot.

But, thats factory, yours could be a different case. Most MGB's are nicely restored gentleman's playthings. Mine is ragged out and in the process of acquiring mad modifications, like a Fidanza aluminum flywheel, Koni tube shock conversion (goodbye, lever action relics), ANSA twin pipe exhaust, Sebring style front airdam, Griffin aluminum radiator with electic fan, and dual twin-choke Weber carburettors. Of course, she'll sit pretty on beautiful polished Minilite wheels, but that's all way down the line. Patching the floorboards and torching off the ratty front fenders is what's happening right now.

....I'm off the subject...

The point is, every vehicle is unique.

I curse the servers for this forum, it killed my lengthly response! :mad:

I'll start by saying your comparison between the S2000 and E36 Bimmer are unfair. The M3 is signifigantly heavier than the Honda, 3200lbs and 2800 lbs respectively. The M3 also has a final drive of 3.61, to the Honda's 4.10 gears... I'm not sure of the exact gear numbers, but the trannys are pretty closely matched.

The big difference is you have to launch at very high rpms, and kill your clutch to launch the S2000, while the M3 has torque at any rpm, and can launch quite easily from 2500rpm. In any gear, at any speed, the M3 can pull, whereas the S2000 has to be in it's very narrow powerband for strong acceleration.

While you can optimize gearing to help acceleration, there is no replacement for torque.

This doesn't mean you can't have a very rev happy engine if you want oodles of torque, but it does mean you'll have large displacement or a turbo... ;)

Dude, that car is no joke. You should have seen HER when she pulled up to NOPI. The car is super sweet.

I thing she won in her division. I know that she had to win a NOPI CHIC award.

Ummm.... If you guys don't mind, I'm going to sort of get off of the civic subject and ask a quick question about something that was discussed earlier in this mixed up post.

-Where do they sell those turbo Hayabusas (The one showed to us by R1-Rider)? And what are they priced at? Are they street legal?
(If you could give me a website or something if you know anything about it[Most likely R1-Rider, who showed us the picture], then I would appreciate it. But I don't really expect you to know anything about it because you just showed us the picture, but if you do, please inform me. Thanx.):)

it is in no way unfair. In that post its proved there is replacement for torque (look at the specs on each car and you tell me which car is unfairly matched? yet still triumphs, there is a reason the bmw is not set at that gear ratio) besides Honda just goes another route with its 2.0 litre four that produces 240 hp at an astounding rpm 8300 and 150 lb-ft at 7500. You see, if you aren't willing to use forced induction or increase engine displacement, the only way to make more power is to raise the rev ceiling. So Honda raised it to nine grand. Despite all the whining about a lack of torque, the Honda engine is powerful enough at low revs to blow away most traffic and the torque curve is flat from about 2000- 8000 rpm making it remarkably flexible despite its redline. if weight factors into it for you compare the s2k to the audi TT 225 roadster. You have to see where i'm coming from cbass this is in the sake of my cars defense and honda bashing in general. Guys there are many idiots out there but I am not one of them, I enjoy a german or italian car as much as the next guy, as well as domestics. Why do you think TV calls me cobra J.

What do u think.

I'm rather confused... are you JUST getting turbo? or did you have a smaller one before and want to replace with a bigger/better one? Cause you claim you have a 3500$ intercooler already(which is quite absurd alone)... I assume you already have turbo or else you wouln't have the intercooler, but my question, if you're willing to spend 3500$ on an intercooler, why didin't you start with a bigger/better turbo to start with? I'm not saying I don't believe you, but a few words with a tiny avatar pic mean jack on the net, pictures mean much more...

Someone asked early in the topic about whether the avatar was his car, and he didin't reply to that... so i wouldn't make the conclusion so fast that that's it... at least not until he can post pics or other proofs...
The pic you posted Fly Rice Racer... you can probably get that off the net easy...

OK SHE'S A GIRL... FINE... does that mean that the person here aliased as 'Fried3000' = this person that you claim to have met at NOPI and seem to have so much respect for? Don't you think you're making too many assumptions? All this time since I first posted here about the turbo and intercooler thing, have you noticed Fried3000 hasn't posted anything? Why don't you let Fried3000 say something for him/herself?

You know how many ppl here on AF use sweet ass exotic cars for their avatars, when all the real car they drive is like +1/10 the price of those cars? I don't even need to put examples here... just open your eyes...

You got to think sometime... stop wasting your time posting senseless replies to defend ppl you don't even know or THINK you know... You're wasting your own time, and MY time right now.

I can't quote directly what Fried3000 has said cause the AF server is busy, but from my memory, this person has claimed having a 3500$ intercooler, therefore, the car's probably already got a turbo. You don't run an intercooler without a turbo. Well I guess you can bolt it on or something, but it won't do shit. And this is a possibility for all-show cars. So I assume the car already got turbo, and the person is wanting to replace the turbo with a better one. But now think about it, the person is talking about a $2200 turbo kit now, which is quite a low price, especially considering already having spent $3500 on the intercooler alone. This is also supposedly "a better turbo" which would probably cost more than the first one. So if this one is only 2200$, you tell me how much the "first" one could've cost. If the person is willing to spend $3500 on the intercooler, why not start with a better turbo to begin with?
Oh yeah, one extra point about the prices. If you haven't noticed, "she" lives in Canada, 2200$ for a turbo would be very low. And like I said, this being the second turbo, the first one would be in the $1000 range?

"completely tuned" --- there is no such THING as completely tuned, there is no end to tuning, the only limit is cash... Looking at the picture of the cavalier FlyRiceRacer posted, first thing I see... stock wheels, fully tuned?
"Jet black and covered in flames" --- wow, am I color blind or what? that picture of the cavalier FlyRiceRacer posted seems blue-ish to me, with only a little black and red on the bumper and spoilers...

Oh, btw, I really can't wait till "she" comes back and "throws this shit" in my face. I'm sorry to hurt your innocent lil mind, but I really doubt "she" will ever come back...

She never said she didnt' have a turbo. She is probably talking about just the turbo manifold. That is pretty good price for one. She can then just swap the manifolds out.

I think this person you met and Fried3000 are two seperate people...

Seriously, you get "turbo kits" for NA engines, not engines that are already blown. $2200 USD is about right for a good turbo, provided you're not spending $6K on a turbo just because it's made by HKS(which it's not, they buy their turbos from mitsubishi I think).

No offense Fried3000, but you sound exactly like someone who doesn't know what they're talking about...

Fly Rice Racer: I think its time you stop using "she" now, cause if you haven't read my last post, its become quite apparent that they are different people. THe colours of the cav fried3000 quoted and the picture you posted simply don't match. You're just wasting your time here defending stupid kids...

Fried3000 to me, is just a lil kid making shit up after watching fast and furious or looking at like some import magazine. Bragging about a $3500 intercooler and then talking about getting only a $2200CDN "turbo kit" just shows your stupidity right there. What makes this more funny, is there is actually one person who continues to defend you, for, they think you are that chick he met at NOPI. LoL...

Also, yes $2200 USD for a good turbo is about right. But, Fried3000 seems to be from Cochrane, Ontario, Canada <-- so a price of $2200(as quoted by him/her), I would assume is in CDN, that is less than $1500 USD... that price, for a turbo kit, i have much doubts you'd find one, for a manifold alone, i still have doubts it'd be good(unless its used or something)...
