staying grounded :)

I just have to say thanks to all the people who post on thsi board for staying grounded when it comes to mods. Too many times i found other message boards/IRC chat channels/etc. where the only attitude is "if its not b16 then you are wasting your time stupid." Just a thought...:smoker2:

amen. represent the single slammers.

It's cuz we can't afford that stuff!

:devil: for real man im a senior in high skool i cant afford a damn dohc vtec motor, and even if i could i wouldnt put it in i'd turbo and nos proof my zc motor instead....there are these guys in broken arrow a town near tulsa oklahoma for those of u that dont kno and they run and live in a shop called humble performance, one guy is really into dsm stuff and the other guy is into hondas mainly civics but only 5th gen up unless its a crx...ne waze they dont like me and the "crew" im in b'cuz our club prez bot a crashed '00 typre r teg and used the engine/tranny and got the stand alone apex ecu...they dont like us b'cuz he got a great deal on it and he wouldnt sell it to them, at $1000 less than what he paid at that! bastards. oh well, they have a 5th gen cx hatch that w/d16z6 turboed that runs 11.11 in the 1/4 and a 1st gen eclipse that runs 10.95 in the 1/4 so they kno thier stuff but they r ass holes to us

i can barely afford the gas i put in the car let alone mods i wanna do to it.

because they don't want to admitt they spent too much. they want to stand strong behind that great :rolleyes: engine.

now hold up...i bet 15 people will read and not understand that. i am not saying the b16 is crap. however, i have seen the all mighty d series (both v-tec and non) walk all over a b16. the d series is cheaper and eaiser to work on than the b16. so when the occasional d series smokes a b16...well, you know.

as for this board...the difference is the people. we have been very lucky to have nice honda and non-honda owning members. the only thing the moderators have to worry about is keeping the threads in the correct forums :D

I want a SOHC!!

Its not fair!!!! my car came with a DOHC VTEC, and no one makes mounts to convert it to a D16y!!! :cry: :cry:


:p :p :p :p :p :p :p



But yeah, this is the best 4g Forum in the world, and now 4gcivic.com has moved in its even better.

Crongrats guys!

and its always nice to see a postive post about a forum.
Thank you. :cool:

I'm a junior in highskool and I can afford it :devil:

Same here man, Im gonna be a senior this year and I should have the money for the B16 by Jan 2003. I will also have enough money to get my body kit put on, my car painted Dark Metallic Black, and my windows tinted by September. But this is mainly due to the fact that this whole summer I've been workin like 40 hr weeks at K-Mart (making 8/hr :D ). I don't have much of a life right now, but its worth it to be able to have my car be done up b4 my high school career is over. Of course, nothing against ppl who aren't doin B16, I was gonna do the ZC, but then my friends convinced me to pay the extra grand and get a B16 put in. Im just a sucker for peer pressure. :frog:

LMAO! there is a local "kid" here that as gonna do a b16...until he saw what my y8 could do. he just picked himself up a y8. after his car is done being painted (hopefully in a week) we'll drop that y8 in...followed shortly by 9psi (he says 12 :licker: kids these days....hehehe) of turbo :devil:. they y8 + turbo is going to cost exactly what he had priced getting all the b16 parts up here to OR.

that is when a d series will start beating the b series. again guys, don't e-mail/post to me freaking out because you thought i was talking down on the b16.

there is nothing wrong with the b16. i just think it's more exciting when the underdog single cam beats the expected dual cam.:smoka:

ami

Yes Ami I agree ;p !!! I work 9-5 mon-friday... making $10 an hour... I used to work at TCBY (icecream place) it sucked phat nuts.... $6.50 an hour... Now I get to sit on my ass and make fun of people when they ask me stupid ?s about their computers, I also get to play on linux and waste company money.. Ahhh fast food? never again :flipa:

i will be a senior in high school to and i got so many rich ass kids arond me that know nothing about imports or what a b16a is so feel lucky and most of the peopel ehre think 4 bangers can't do shit exspecisally a SOHC 4 banger so i am gonna prove them all wrong hehe

lightened flywheel
:D :D

Hell Yeah!!!! I live in a city called Johnson County it is located in Kansas... And believe it or not we are up there in the Citys with the money... No where near California or Florida but we still got some cash... Cept fer the poor farmers and hillbilys outside the reeches of our inner circle :devil: But I am not a rich stuck up snob... I don't live in a big house and experience a nice day at the country club... But the kids around me who do flaunt mommy and daddys money it makes me sick.... I am going to laugh my ass off when they show up at the reunion with nothing because they thought they would always have their parents money and didn't make the right decisions. Anyway's this kid got a brand new ford lightning (SVT AKA supercharged cobra engine) something like 340hp 420torque... 13.8 1/4 (faster than the mustang) He had it for one month before he crashed it.. Now he is back to his old car a (tear) 2001 jeep cheroke sport with rims and a stiffened up suspension... Everyone looks at my car and calls it an old egg... Im gonna laugh when my "old egg" pulls up next to their brand new mustang, camaro, (maybe after a turbo camaros are fast even stock), eclipse (no offense I have driven one and they suck) , or other fancy expensive new car and smoke their ass... :smoka:

i grew up in CA...family had a $240,000 home. be yet my dad made me get a job at 16 before i was allow to get a car. he also made me pay my phone bill and buy my clothes. i'm glad he made me work for mine.

jer & i moved up to OR 7 yrs ago. worked hard and now we are 25 & 26 and have sweet cars, 3 bed 2 bath house, and a kid. when you work hard early you can kinda relax and start to enjoy it in your mid 20's.

just make sure you understand the the fine line between making money to enjoy...and being driven by money. ya dig?

Careful about talking like that about the company.. Never know what the boss reads... We just let a guy go for doing that about a customer on a message forum..

Anyway.. I feel old in here.. All these high schoolers moddin their cars when I should have had one a long time ago, instead, I bought a house.. Damn.. All you hourly guys make me jealous.. If I got paid hourly I would make about 2200 bucks a week. But hey, between the 900/mo house payments and 300/mo child support, I suppose I will eventually get my civ done...

:) (post whoring..)

Yea...I still work in fast food i hate it lol. Granted given the money, even just a little, i'd streach for a B16 swap, thing is i'd want to do a certian #'s of mods before it went in for autocrossing sake (like LSD, clutch, flywheel, possible cams). But D series parts are SOO damn cheap and abundent its sick (heck some D parts even work on ZC's), in a few years the B motors will grow the same way I hope. In the meantime i'm gonna run the SOHC till its last day, and right now it shows no signs of backing down which is good for now.

We have a pretty shitty ass "mommy and daddy bought my car" type kids up here. To name a few kids that have graduated this year or last and what they drive, A new RSX-S, 3rd gen eclipse (GS lol), CL-S with 20 inch chrome wheels, few new stangs. Like i said this is just in the past 2 years...and I graduated in 99 and i'm still in a civic lol. But I can outdrive most those kids so I don't run around fearing them hehe.

Yeah in the church parking lot (where I park) there were three freshmen who parked their one had a 2002 nissan xterra, another a 2001 BMW X5, and lastly 2002 BMW 325is. The other vehicles were comprised of 2002 RSX, 199- benz 550, two 2002 mustang GTs, a 1996 mustang SVT cobra, and a humvee..... IN this small little parking lot, its ridiculous!
