Fried Rice?

On my way to work I see several people everyday, I always see this 96ish looking Civic that could be refered to as RICED OUT. The diver seems to think he has a top fuel dragster as he is always trying to race everyone, and just driving like an idiot swerving in and out in a huge hurry to get no where in traffic. Well on Friday I didn't see him at the usual stop lights, I was running late...I didn't really notice that he was not there untill I saw him on the shoulder with allot of black smoke pouring out of the windows and hood. Seems that top fuel he was running finnally got a little too hot (Joke...He was not really running high octane or Alc). His car then became fried rice.:newburn:

Heh, i gotta feel bad for the guy though... He's trying to keep his engine in good condition and it backfires. Well, some people just don't realize that econo imports arn't meant to handle certain mods like muscular cars. his loss

Is frying an engine on premium usually a problem for most cars? Or just that particular one?

Running higher octane is over rated! It's good for saving on fuel economy by slowing the burn rate down. Not soo good if you want to go fast though! When will these ricers learn that more isn't always better?

Oh yeah, your Rustangs are really invincible machines. Especialy the 90's Flexbodies, woaaah baby!!! talk about handling. Mustangs should make 500 HP, and they don't, you apes should bow down to the big "H", always more than 100 hp per liter!

Whoa, this guy really needs some insult techniques... Did he really call us apes? :hehehe: Well i guess he's right... we should all bow down to the "H". Yea right, buddy. Heres a better idea, how bout bowing down to the "N" in Nissan Maxima, Nissan 300zx(TT if preferred), and maybe a little "M" for Mitsubishi Eclipse, Mitsubishi 3000GT (again TT). Wanna talk imports? These could all whoops some serious Honda ass if equipt, some even unmodded. As you can see the world doesn't revolve around Honda.

OKIE now. you didn't just use the HP to Liter thing did you? LOL If imports have so called "more hp per liter", then how come they don't make bigger engines with more liters. Then the big H you make what, 1000 hp or something to the effect.......:smoka: :smoker2: :finger: :flipa: :rolleyes: :flamer: :eshooter: :bonghitte :rocket: :crying: :bathroom: :machinegu

Dirk, stop the flaming. It will not be tolerated. I am warning you that if you keep this up then you will be banned.

I must really apologize for some people who own Hondas. I know you guys don't all think we're like this idiot. Some of us are more car enthusiasts than other single minded morons like this guy.
But seriously we do have more hp per liter cars, but in the end it's more about displacement and who can put the power down better. Umm I don't think FWD cars do it better than RWD - laws of physics, dirk. Maybe you should learn it sometime.
You can have a 800hp FWD Civic and a 800hp RWD Mustang, guess who would win?
Anyway enjoy!

Its a select few who push the limits, and shoot their mouth without knowing any knowledge of what they are talking about. I know not everyone is like dirk. Its all a matter of preference, and being able to pull the front wheels off the ground is where I like to be.

Im kinda glad the guy's car went up in smoke. Any idiot who drives his car like that deserves to have that happen. Maybe he will realize that gee, I dont have that great a car after all. More than likely though, mommy and daddy will fix it and he will be the stop-light racer again.

Dirk... i suggest if you want to stay on this site, get a little fact in your thick head. People who drive Ford... etc ... are not going to let you completely blast our brand names like that. We baught our cars for a reason, we like them and have pride in them, and enjoy their performance, just like the way you feel about your Honda. If you have a problem with that and wanna try and prove something, you could just race us. :smoka:

A few people have reported this post to the Mods and we have our eye on him, although i would love to get rid of this guy he is entitled to his opinion (no matter how childish he is)

Back to the topic, a question.
Was he running high octane or not? I thought higher octane was supposed to avoid the premature e-detonation and major engine melt down, right?

More isn't always better! If your running a pretty much stock car or even some light mods then there is NO need to run high octane. To get the best performance you need the quick burn. You should run the lowest grade octane possible without detonation, to achieve the quickest burn possible. If you worried about fuel economy then higher octane is better, cause the burn rate is slower. When you hear about people burning pistons and melting engine's, its usually on nitrous/supercharged applications, or cars with really high compression.

my previous hb civic was using premium b/c that was what the previous owner used....so i followed suit.....when i got another civic hb i again was about to use premium, but a friend of mine who had the same car warned me that premium gas would mess up my engine....didn't give a really good explanition though

What octane should you use for 10:1 compression? I thought that 89 octane left a lot of carbon build up on the intake valves, that's what I have been told.

my motor has 10:1 compression, an 92 octane is the best i can get for it. i'd say stay above that an u'll be fine.

It's not import drivers so much that are hated, it's ricers. Ricers buy an import, put stickers all over it, usually of hardware they do NOT have, lower the suspension, put big wheels on it, (pimp it out) and think they are the king daemons of the road.
I dislike ricers mainly because they are deluded tools who believe their car is the best thing on the road, when there are larger cars that get better performance from less highly strung (or hard pushed) mechanical components. Another reason I don't like rice is because those massive exhaust tips look and sound very embarressing.

I agree with 666<(wonder what that stands for, haha) I do believe it is those riced out types that set everyone against imports in general but in reality they realize that they don't really hate all imports, just those one's that are like that, that gives us (import owners) a bad name.
