I was just wondering what you guys (and gals) have smoked in your cars? I don't have a car since I'm not old enough.. But with my dad I've been delivering whoop-ass with: 1997 Chevrolet Camaro 5,7 V8, some bimmers, BMW 850 Ci.. The one I liked most was the Chevy...
BTW: Do any people here on AF own a cool car like a Ferrari or something? (You don't have to mention P-Man).. :ylsuper

I have beaten a few rare cars on my R1, most are ferrari's, have only seen 4 lambos out here, and they didnt want to race :( Otherwise I have killed a zillion vets, camaros, transams, rustangs.

Even if their car could beat me, their driven wouldn't be able to, especially since I put a bottle on my bike :)

Try browsing the appropriate forums, and you will see the owners of those cars..

There are like 6 people on AF here who own Deloreans.

We all own Ferrari's and Lambo's though. IN OUR DREAMS!!!!!!!!

Man, you're CRAZY!!! An R1 can probably beat a sportscar without anything anyways since it has a top speed of about 175mph already, but, I could see if you race other bikes or the BIG & BAD sportscars. By the way, where do you put that thing on your bike? It must be really small.

Yea, that's what I'm saying. (Just pictures worst case scenario with nitrous on the back of an R1 *Hits 175mph with bike and presses the nitro as the instant boost of speed causes the bike's front wheel to lift up as suddenly the bike over-rotates at 200+mph, flies into the air, and completes a series of 14 full backflips, while he (The rider) completes a series of over 20 flips, rolls, twisties, and every other gymnastic and breakdance move known to man in mid-air and lands in the ground*). (By the way, I never want this to happen to you; though. Just be careful.):sun:

Nitrous does add an incredible amount of power to the wheels. I attached the bottle to the left side of the passenger footpeg, and it is small compared to a large bottle meant for a car. R1's, and most sportsbikes, have tach limiters, so using nitrous at 175mph would do nothing. I usually do race alot of very sporty cars, and other sportsbikes, me and a couple of my friends usually head up to tortilla flats to do racing. Depending on the cc of the bike is usually how we determine at what speed to stop, like a 600cc bike would stop at 150mph, while a 1liter would be 160-170. I tend to shift early into third gear, so when I hit the nono horn button the nitrous will not flip me, but will make it seem like I am in first gear again.

Daily you will never see me with it on, only for when I know I am racing do I use it.

Alright, man. That's cool. As long as you know what you're doing and do it responsibly. Well, nitrous does sound really cool on a sportbike and maybe someday I'll have the skill to handle it. The R1 is my favorite bike also (Well, let's just say that it's one of my favorites because I'm always changing my mind.). If you don't mind me asking, what color R1 do you have? And, some more questions, is you're nitrous tank specially made for motorcycles or did you have to do a little customizing (If so, how did you get it on there?) and (About nitrous tanks) are the tanks refillable and how much does it usually cost to get the tanks installed and everything (Or, easier, how much are the tanks?)? Sorry for all of the questions :(

Nitrous on your R1, R1? (:bloated: that made sense not) That's almost as crazy as that shop in Tokyo that builds turbo Hayabusas, without limiters. Scary!

My car's kind of exotic. Layla, (for that is her name) is a 1970 MGB GT, LHD (left-hand drive) with the 1800cc high compression single carb engine, knock off 52 spoke wire wheels, black vinyl interior, and is painted Royale Blue, a 1970 only color (that, while attractive, wasn't very popular). According to the MG registry, there are only 17 MG's in the WORLD optioned out like Layla. Her book value (mint, which she is not) is $18,500, which is ludacris money for an MGB GT.

I practically stole her at $450. :angel:

:eek2: Ummmmm, a disturbing thought passed through my mind, and it was, "What if you equipped nitrous oxide to that thing?" But aside from that, is there a website for that bike? And is the bike available in the U.S.? And, as asked before, how much is it? Is it even street legal? Too...many...questions...:confused:

11-17-2002, 09:53 AM
I don't know if that's the bike I was talking about, but the one I was talking about was a tuner special from Japan. You probably could buy the parts and install them yourself. As far a street legality goes, I've no idea what the laws are on motorcycles.

Not to mention, nitrous oxide is a BAD BAD BAD thing with a turbo. Nitrous oxide is good for drag racing big blocks. It has no place in a Wangan runner like a turbo Haybusa.

Actually, nitrous works quite well with turbochargers, you just have to have a really good fuel setup, and a strong enough engine to use it.

Yes, there really is a Type R honda

The latest one is the Honda Civic R

"R" stands for Racing. So the Civic Type-R is exactly what you'd expect - a lean, mean and focused road going race car. It's the latest in a line of no compromise sports thoroughbreds from Honda - a car suitable for the road, but whose heritage comes straight from the racetrack.

Powered by a new 2.0 litre DOHC i-VTEC engine developing a mighty 200 PS (197 bhp) at 7,400 rpm, the new Civic rockets to 60mph in 6.4 seconds - and carries on to top 146 mph. Maximum torque is 196Nm (145lb-ft) at 5,900rpm, promising levels of performance better than of the Integra Type-R - the car that the Civic Type-R replaces.

Rumor has it that in 2004 Honda will release an Si model civic in the EX body style coupe.

The whole reason that I bought the EX over the Si was because I hated that Eggshaped body style.

Okay, seriously, 197hp is not exactly mighty, and 60 in 6.4 seconds, although not slow, is not rocketing.

It's one thing to like the Type R as a reasonably sporty Civic, but come on, don't play it up to be something it isn't.

unmodified yes they are mearly quick as goes for most sports cars stock, with the exception of the obvious more expensive cars. But the torque to hp availability for the type R series - from a 4 cylinder motor is amazing. The car is also one of the most easily modified. Granted the most recent are still being mapped out. But even the K series has great potential for honda's future.

Hybridsol, I don't really see how there could be too much potential left in a naturally aspirated 2 liter engine making 200hp... I think the only big hp gains would be at the expense of torque and driveability.

manipulation of torque/hp gains systems through honda's in anything but the ordinary the reason you think that a 2 liter motor or rather 1.8 is b/c your thinking in terms of a domestic with the same liter/hp. I don't think you quite grasp honda's "torque to HP" availability, (I know Ive done this comparison before please bare with me) lets compare an s2k to a E36M3 Beemer regarding torque. The S2000 motor produces 240 HP at it's peak of 8300 RPM. The E36 M3 motor produces an identical 240 HP at it's peak of 6000 RPM. However, the BMW motor produces 236 lb-ft of torque at a relatively low 3800 RPM, while the S2000 motor produces a mere 150 lb-ft of torque at 7500 RPM. Yet, if one compares 1/4 mile times and 0-60 MPH times, they are nearly identical. How can they do this given the vast difference in torque output of each motor right.? A car accelerates hardest (fastest) at it's torque peak. In the case of the M3, this happens at a low 3800 RPM. On the Honda, peak acceleration doesn't occur until 7500 RPM, and peak HP is achieved at 8300 RPM. Where the BMW is forced to shift at 6000 RPM (it's HP peak), the Honda is still pulling towards it's torque peak, and eventually it's HP peak. So while the Honda motor doesn't pull harder than the BMW, it's high torque peak allows it to pull longer. Ok torque and horsepower. Torque can be multiplied through gearing, while horsepower remains unchanged. The Honda can be geared to produce sufficient torque in the (low RPM range) to allow it to accelerate strongly right up until it hits it's own torque peak. This also allows the Honda to accelerate strongly up to it's HP peak at 8300 RPM prior to shifting. As each car shifts gears, you are effectively reducing the torque available to the rear wheels in exchange for speed. This is what allows a car with significantly less torque, but equal HP, to accelerate at a nearly equivalent rate. ok bottom line honda's don't lack torque, they thrive in it. few manufacturer's posses honda's ability to maniputale that ratio utilizing 4 cylider's and a 1.8 or 2.0 liter motor. Your entitled to your opinion, but I feel a need to defend my POV due to the fact that the motor in my car is a b18c5 or type R motor. I dyno my del sol at 355 Horsepower / 270 lbft Torque. ofcourse that is turbo equipped and modified. But still a feat utilizing a 4 cylinder motor. I don't know of very many motors capable of this availability ratio. What I do know is that many company's are presently trying to copy honda's technology.

Hybridsol, you're one of the few Honda people that I run into who actually make a good case for having an engine that has all the usefulness of a Briggs & Stratton 4hp lawnmower below 5000rpm.

Just Kidding.

I happen to like the V-6 they put in the NSX, and would like to see them create a 3.6L six for the next generation of NSX's, so that they can take an even lighter and even more aerodynamically efficient car to the GT class in the ALMS and at Le Mans and lay waste to all those FUCKING 911's!!! I AM SO FUCKING SICK OF SEEING PORSCHE 911's WINNING GT CLASS EVENTS! WILL THE ACO GIVE THE GT CLASS A BREAK AND FUCKING BAN PORSCHE UNTIL AT LEAST FIVE OTHER MANUFACTURERS CAN BEAT THEM??????? AND THEN NOT TAKE AWAY THEIR ADVANTAGE LIKE THEY DID WITH BMW, NO WONDER I DIDN'T GO TO MID-OHIO THIS YEAR. SHIT, THE CAPS LOCK IS FROZEN.... There we go.... :angel:

A 545hp Cavalier.......

I hope you aren't just goofing with us, since that would be a fairly cool sight. I usually refer to Cavaliers as Cadavers, since I'm of the opinion that they have one of the worst showroom stock FF suspension setups out there and have rubbery transmissions to boot.

But, thats factory, yours could be a different case. Most MGB's are nicely restored gentleman's playthings. Mine is ragged out and in the process of acquiring mad modifications, like a Fidanza aluminum flywheel, Koni tube shock conversion (goodbye, lever action relics), ANSA twin pipe exhaust, Sebring style front airdam, Griffin aluminum radiator with electic fan, and dual twin-choke Weber carburettors. Of course, she'll sit pretty on beautiful polished Minilite wheels, but that's all way down the line. Patching the floorboards and torching off the ratty front fenders is what's happening right now.

....I'm off the subject...

The point is, every vehicle is unique.

I curse the servers for this forum, it killed my lengthly response! :mad:

I'll start by saying your comparison between the S2000 and E36 Bimmer are unfair. The M3 is signifigantly heavier than the Honda, 3200lbs and 2800 lbs respectively. The M3 also has a final drive of 3.61, to the Honda's 4.10 gears... I'm not sure of the exact gear numbers, but the trannys are pretty closely matched.

The big difference is you have to launch at very high rpms, and kill your clutch to launch the S2000, while the M3 has torque at any rpm, and can launch quite easily from 2500rpm. In any gear, at any speed, the M3 can pull, whereas the S2000 has to be in it's very narrow powerband for strong acceleration.

While you can optimize gearing to help acceleration, there is no replacement for torque.

This doesn't mean you can't have a very rev happy engine if you want oodles of torque, but it does mean you'll have large displacement or a turbo... ;)

I hope you aren't just goofing with us, since that would be a fairly cool sight. I usually refer to Cavaliers as Cadavers, since I'm of the opinion that they have one of the worst showroom stock FF suspension setups out there and have rubbery transmissions to boot.


Dude, that car is no joke. You should have seen HER when she pulled up to NOPI. The car is super sweet.

I thing she won in her division. I know that she had to win a NOPI CHIC award.
