civicb18c1 vs. vr4

last week i was on my way home when some asshole came up riding my ass. i slowed down so he could get next to me and when he changed lanes he blew passed me like nothing. i realized it was a mitsu 3000gt vr4. i caught up to this guy at the next light and asked if he wanted to race. i know my civic is quicker than the average civic but i was expecting to lose since this guy had awd and twin turbos. the light turned green and to my amazement i smoked this guy. i went and bragged to all my friends about it but they didnt believe a word i said. the next night i was hanging out with all my friends at the gas station when the same guy pulled up. he asked me if i wanted to race again but this time put some money on the line. we went and race and i spanked him again. now all of my friends finally believe me.

I call :bs: Unless the guy had something wrong with his car and didn't know how to drive, there's no way you should have beat him (let alone kept up with him).

that is what i thought too, but i talked to the guy afterwards and he wasnt toying with me. beleive me, i am not bsing u. maybe he didnt know how to drive but he got beat by a civic

i find it somewhat believable because if it was a older model vr4 than it must have been worn out and maybe a little turbo lag too + a bad driver...it is kinda iffy though but i wont call bs

stock VR4 isn't the fastest thing in the world most are pretty hurting too.

I don't see it far fetched at all.

The great thing is that most VR4 owners I've met THINK they are the fastest thing in the world. I applaud any Civic driver who can give one a fisting...even if it was a fluke.

nice kill! N/A gsr motor?

Are you sure it was a VR4? After seeing what a friend of mine's VR4 could do (before he flipped it 5 times and slammed into a tree in midair), I find this hard to believe.

ahh i give props im tired of all the damn dsm's around here gettin all the glory, that's one for the civics! :P

i don't find it that hard to believe....a light little car w/ a decent amount of power beating an AWD TT car....VR4's aren't exactly light cars and if it was gettin old, i'm sure it isn't running as strong as it once was.....

NICE KILL.......

It isnt far fetched at all. Older VR4s are worn out, as already mentioned above. Asides from being heavy, a bad driver can really screw up a launch, AWD or not, and that's the end of the race.

i could buy it. an all motor gsr w/ some basic bolt ons can hang, thats for sure. my brother tore a 300ZX TT from the dig and it was all b/c of the launch. burned him nasty.

just wondering, what kind of civic is the gsr swap in? a hatch? vr4 can be some sick ass cars espicially if the person driving it knows wtf they are doing. that thing must have been stock and needed a tune up.

thanx for all the support and for believing me everyone! my b18c1 is n/a and i am sure it was a vr4. i heard the turbos spooling and it had a big gay decal on the windshield advertising that. i searched up the specs for a vr4 after i beat it...those things way like 3800lbs with i think it was 300hp. my car ways just over like 2200 and i got 180hp.

it's a coupe

it had a big gay decal on the windshield advertising that. .

gay decal huh? coudlv'e been worse dude...it couldve been an N/A with that sticker on. :rofl:

you sure it was a VR4? that guy could have turboed a SL...

could of been that bad but i heard the turbos spooling so i knew it was a vr4

i don't believe a word...post mods and pics BS!

I raced a VR4 once in my last Si heading south on 95 once. Blew out my back drivers side nitto 35 series at around 115. Lol I learned my lesson. Thing was though, I was bumper to bumper with him and was just starting to pull. =(

ahh i give props im tired of all the damn dsm's around here gettin all the glory, that's one for the civics! :P
3000gt isnt a DSM their buddy

hm...the 3000gt is a shit heavy car. if he screwed up the launch i can believe it. send us pics of your car and we believe you.

why do u need to see pics to know that i am not bsing u? pics dont mean shit!

jdm b18c1, aem cold air intake, custom apexi exhaust w/ high flow cat, b&m short shifter, dropped, 17'' tenzo sinko, spoon front lip, mugen sides, buddy club rear lip, black housing angel eyes, black housing tails, vtec controller, brembo cross drilled and slotted rotors all the way around

stupid ricer!!! Next time post PERFORMANCE mods not things like: (spoon front lip, mugen sides, buddy club rear lip, black housing angel eyes, black housing tails) No one cares about that!!!

Coming from the person listing a Turbo timer as a mod and the fact no one cares what you said thats pretty funny.

Plus you didnt narrow your request down enough numbnuts.

:eek7: ummmm....anger management problems......

next time specify dick! by the way...ur talon looks awsome! maybe u should stop worrying about ur performance mods such as ur bov and turbo timer and start focusing on the looks. how much hp did u get from those mods?

why are u even in this forum? u drive an eagle!

It's really funny seeing him post that his pretty much stock Talon is "fast as hell." I used to beat those crap ass awd Talons and Eclipses avery time I raced them with just a stock ls/vtec. They are slow as hell, unless modded correctly that is. And the 3000 gt has the Mitsubishi logo on it, so it is a DSM.

stock lsvtec nice.....

It was when I would race them. I won't waste my time any more. I've been talking about my motor build for a while and am supposed to pick up my car tonight, if my guy doesn't lag like he has been for the past months. He said that because he took so long building my motor he would put it in for me at no charge. Of course I was like yay, no tedious work for me, but then realized that the reason he offered was because he still didn't have all the parts together yet. Hopefully I get my car back tonight though. Then will come the torture of breaking it in without ripping on it all the way to the 9,000 - 9,500 rpm redline.

You missed what I meant.

stock and lsvtec is not possible.

No way shape or form has honda made a motor with an b18a/b block and a vtec head. A b18c1 is a stock motor. lsvtec is a custom motor no way shape or form stock.

I'm a nit picker yes but this one is a pet peeve of mine.

Whats the setup for that kinda revs?

Sorry, I just meant that it was stock exhaust and intake with no mods done to the ls/vtec except the puting together.

For those revs I have Integra Type-r pistons (so I can still run on 91 octane), blueprinted and balanced motor with the crank micropolished and rods shaved for the pistons, the head is all portflow components with skunk2 stage 2 cams. The biggest factor is going to be enough airflow to make power that high, but I have intake mani and intake and header with 2.5" exhaust. After I break it in we will be dyno tuning it so I can post #'s and actual redline.
