Any ways are all honda's Fwd or are thier any Rwd ones

And what do you guys think about old chorvets my friend is geting his dads old 80 somthing or 70 somthing one but he donst think it would be a good street racer i think it would i have to get some more info on it

Well, some cars with superchargers have hoodscoops, and some carbed cars have big scoops too, without a blower. I can't remember the name for the piece

The NSX is an acura, and acura ricers will argue that it is not a honda, even though it is... mid engined, RWD. The S2000 is front engined, RWD.

If you mean Corvettes, they are awesome street racers, but it depends on the motor. If it's a 70 something with a 454, there is unlimited performance potential. Hands down, nothing beats a big block Even the LT1 Vettes are capable of sick power. Just ask Redneck...

And I surely hope that was a joke/troll post...

yep... thats it, i made it all up. i took my 20 grand enlistmant bonus and bought most of my rsx and after i was done paying for it i got a large amount of money from inheritance. i already had a car and shitload of money but not enough money to buy a z06 so i decided to burn it on my rsx... and i'm already making some of that back from schmidts sponsoring my car and racing it.

lol, captain... twin turbos and 4 cylinders just dont work... do you not understand? hahaha

[-The Stig-]

CaptainRSX... i dont know much about the RSX and its aftermarket support...

but by reading your lil info.. with all that dough you spent on it... springs... exhaust... multiple turbos?... rims...

I think you could of opted for a better spoiler... i mean no aftermarket spoiler... like the terminator zb54 turbo wing or whatever???

Make something up... c'mon man... "spoiler" ehhhhh just doesnt sound sporty enough to me.

They could be sequential turbos, to reduce lag... not very good for over all power. Then again, on a honda, you have to do everything you can to reduce lag, as they have absolutely NO off boost performance at lower revs.

[fatninja19]

i do understand what sequential turbo's are... but does anyone know a twin trubo'ed 4 cylinder out there? correct me if i'm wrong, but twin turbo 4's don't exist because they don't work.

Check out the post in the StreetRacing Honda forum, Carrrnutt has a few words for him about the TT setup on an RSX in the thread about Captain racing an NSX...

The lotus espirt was a twin turbo four from 1979 to 1997 (then it switched to a TT V8, which by the way wasnt much more powerful than the TT four).

The Subaru WRX STi has a TT four, I think. I know the Subaru Liberty B4 does.

[fatninja19]

I just quickly looked up some info on the lotus esprit, i found that 1993-1995 are single turbo 2.2L. the v8's started in 97 by the way.

i'm pretty sure the STi is a single turbo, but didnt have time to look up stuff for the b4.

so... lets see some pics of the beast!

Civics are decent...if you plan on making it an Auto cross/ track school car..

As for street..better off getting somthing with AWD and a turbo or a big ass V8

[LjasonL]

the sti is a single, but the b4 is twin.

[fatninja19]

the B4 is a twin turbo 4 cylinder??

[LjasonL]

yeah, but thats the only tt inline 4 i can think of. but subaru doesnt use the tt setup on any of their other ej20's, including the performance oriented sti versions.

[fatninja19]

wow, i never though a TT 4 banger would be efficient at all...
