Can you beat an STi?

I was wondering if any of you out there can beat the STi's or the Evolutions with your civics? yes no anyone? I know my rex can take a regular WRX with a rolling start.... but he can get me off the line...

Gosh darn AWD... anyway,

Have a nice day!

No, no way.

not on my four wheeled honda i'm sure my bike could but thats cheating.
It would take alot of power awesome launch to jump STI or evo off the line in a civic

when you say "rolling start" what do you define that as. ten feet, 1/8mile, 1/4 mile.

When you say "can take": does that mean the STI or EVO has a 2K rpm rev limiter.

Sorry but i highly doubt a stock rex can take a evo or a sti.
Sorry but i gotta pull the B.S. card on this one.

There are Civic's out there that can beat STi's but I don't think anyone on here could beat one.

My rex isn't stock....

Also i never said i could beat an STi Or an Evo, i said a regular WRX... and a rolling start at like 20 mph the regular WRX can't touch me.

He never said anything about the civic or crx being stock.

What all do you have done to your CRX, and do you have pix?

With the Turbo I should be able to take most stock vehicules on the road.

i think once i get my crx running, ill give em a good run.

I don't have my full list of mods on the rex in front of me, but what I know off of the top of my head is

Duel red cam integra non vtec ZC motor.
Revolution full carbon fiber cap back exhaust.
Mugen side skirts, door caps.
R33 Skyline front end.
Buddy club rear end.
Kuhmo Z rated tires.
Progress Drag springs in front, regular coil progress springs in back.
Dyno tuned.
Performance Chip.
OBX Cold air intake.

JDM B16A
JDM S1 tranny
B&M short Shifter
Chipped PR3 ECU
5Zigen Exaust
Spearco Front Mount Intercooler
Apex'i VAFC
Apex'i Dual chanber BOV
450cc Injectors
T3/T4 Turbo
Stainless Equal Lenght Turbo manifold

the turbo is schedule to be installed next week.

the Rods, pistons, boost controler allong with motor work and clutch are scheduled for later this summer.


I figure at 8psi about 280hp, once I can boost 16psi I hope for 350hp.

350hp in a 1200lbs car should take just about anything out there.

Kun

BTW that's a DOHC ZC engine

Well I knida knew what you had in your car Knun...it was for the Onimacus. And Knundrum...you should be able to take one with all those mods. But how are you getting your car 1200lbs?

Mine has a short shifter too... forgot to add that.... I bought the car with the mods already, which I feel guilty about, but I don't have the time to do all the little things, all that is left is the turbo, maybe a new block, headers, and a turbo kit, also a racing clutch would be nice... One day I will beat the annoying 16 year old with the STi in my apartment complex...

I had my car weighed a few years ago and it tipped the scale at a little over 700kg, 700x1.6 = 1120lbs I rounded up to 1200lbs

How much did you strip out?

a kg is 2.2 pounds buddy.let me help you out
700x2.2=1540
thats pretty light.is that without a motor cuz thats really hard to get that slim

isnt NHRA and IHRA minimum legal limit 1800lbs with driver and 1/4th tank of gas?

so this guy is beating WRX's with basically a stock zc??? haha... that's pretty damn funny..

you never know, WRX's wind out pretty quick from what I'v seen.

WRX's are okay off the line, but once they get through first gear they really aren't that impressive anymore...

I think the 1.6 you were thinking of was part of the mph->kph conversion rate.

Yeah thats what I'm saying...the kilometers to miles per hour.

I havent had the pleasure to race an evo or an sti yet, when I do it will be from a roll

I have raced an 04 srt4 from a roll and he had me about a fender all the way till about 110 when I hit the brakes

I was trying to get an SRT-4 to race me but we didn't have enough room and he ended up turning before we had an open way.

ya i def. wanna know what you yanked outta your car to get it to that low of a weight is it 1200lbs? or 1500? did you think of the wrong kilo? or the wrong pound?

especially if you have a sound system and subs and all that good stuff, it can get pretty heavy

aint no way his car ways 1200 pounds i know a local that tubed his whole rex and weighs with him in it about 1100 lbs very unlikely his car weighs that unless he modified his whole frame...

it weight in at 723kg at the local dump scale, don't know how accurate the scale is and I used the wrong conversion.

723kg = 1590.6lbs sorry my bad.

even still k-drum that is really light, the last time i weighed my car it was like 2100lbs.

of course 300 of that is me;)

well what did you do or take out on your car to get it lose 400 or 500 lbs?

it weight in at 723kg at the local dump scale, don't know how accurate the scale is and I used the wrong conversion.

723kg = 1590.6lbs sorry my bad.

no chance in hell your car weighs that much. stock it weighs 2174. http://www.honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=403871#4156615

did you strip out everything and use lexan glass?

Was this with or without the nitrous? If it was without the nitrous I'm gonna call BS because they should be able to take you, seeing as your time posted in your sig is around 14.7...and they can dip to around 13.8-13.9 stock.

this was with the ZC in it and the car empty. like i said I don't know how accurate the scale is since it's used to weigh 4 or 5 ton garbage trucks.

We had 160km/hr limiters on the STi's from about 97,98 etc, thats where I could beat em, but thats hardly fair or a judge of the vehicles competing.

US spec STi's run 13.2's, or at least on the spec sheet is says 13.2. I've seen one run a 13.5 in person. WRX's run like 14.5ish. I work at a Subaru dealership so I've driven plenty of both, and damn are those STi's fast. Before my CRX was stolen and murdered, it could take WRX's, but it was a close race, and that was with a gutted interior, b16, intake, exhaust, cam gears, and a P&P.

one easy way to scrap off a few punds is to cut out some of the safety shit in the doors of your CRX or hatch since the belts are in the doors they made them extra strong and if you now have racing harnesses which i know some of you do that is one way to clean out about 50lbs or so just thought i would let you know i dont sujjest doing it on cars that still use the factory seat belts

Yes I was spraying and it was from a roll 1/4 mile time's really dont affect anything, diff car's have diff powerband's.

If I say I race someone and the car is really quick stock I sprayed, but if it's a car like a GTI, or another honda I wouldent usually spray unless something made me think the car had alot of work done.

My Buick will eat up SRT-4s, but this is a honda forum so I'll shut up.

i still on't see how Onimacus can beat a STi with a stock ZC....even from a 20 mph roll...i don't see it happening at all

only the USDM CRX have belts in the doors, mine is a CDNM it does not have the belts in the doors.

Thats cool, I was just wondering because I wasn't sure. I love SRT's and for a new car, 21k for a sub 14 second car stock is a great price. A guy I know in town might be getting one the end of next week and I hope he does, I wanna ride in one.

i wonder how quick those cars will start breaking down

I've been a member over at SRTforums.com for almost a year and most everything is holding up well as far as I know. I do know that some owners who have just got stage 2 installed aren't happy with it and were getting better 1/4 times and dyno's with just stage 1.

I never said I could beat an STi i don't know where you guys are reading this hehe, i said i could beat REGULAR scoobies.
