i lined it up with a 94 coupe with b18a with i/h/e maybe more. we launched he was ahead by a bumper my launch sucked
my the end of first gear i have about half a car on him by second i had a full car and the 3rd a about three and a half cars on him.

than i raced a legend. with header and exhaust and intake i had an awful launch we were about even i just pulled on him as soon as i went into v tec and i churped through second and third and got him by like 4 cars.

than i lined up with a 98 coupe with full body kit rims i/h/e i had another sorry launch got into v tec pulled even churped into second pulled a car on him and just kept pulling as i went into v tec.

i need to work on my launching im having a lil bit of trouble getting used to this race clutch im not sure what kind it is it came with the swap my mechanic told me its brand new he said its like act stage 2 im not sure though im gonna talk to him about it.

my friend who just moved back from la was out and he wanted to run it so i let him run this guy in a crx with i/h/e that crx beat everyone except for me my freind got him by like 4 cars he has alot of expierence with race clutches.

yea must be nice dude. you have a nice set up. i know how those race clutches can get. i drove my buddies car w/ a race clutch, not sure what brand or stage but the clutch pedal pressure is by FAR much stiffer and very difficult to get the hang of. im sure w/ practice you'll be launching like a champ! :bigthumb: ....keep us posted w/ ur future kills and mods man. and good luck w/ it

thx man I will. im starting to get better launches now still spinning a lil to much but that mostly because my tires by the end of this week ill most likely be on slicks not to sure whichones yet. by the end of august i should have header exhuast and cat, tach, and some coilovers. i have pics of my car on the comp already but ive tried uploading them but it takes to long like an hour anyone that i can email them to so they can post um pm me.

why would you have a hard time believing it?

a crx weighs nothing, and off the line nothing compares to them in the import world (all due to their weight). so lets say it was a b16 with i/h/e, and this b16 is going against a stock b18c. all in all if these two engines are even given the existing mods then it would come down to the weight of the cars and the driver skills. he already told us he needs to work on his launches, right? oh wait on other thing, the crx is how much lighter?

civichbsi91, do you mean assumption? because u wrote assumtion-not a word. i dont think it was a typing mistake on your part. lets get past that; no this was not an assumption on my part. i was only questioning what kinda engine the guy had. wow:bloated:

even if he had a b16, could he drive? was it running right? people have b16's and run shyt numbers......crx's with b16's can be quick.......but not every single one is, im tired of people thinking this, i had just woken up when i wrote that....and its a letter who cares
