Redline vs. Turbo civic

On my way home from school I was driving down the one way and I saw a mid-late 90’s civic with a cf hood coming up behind me. It looked really clean as he got closer, then I noticed that there was a FMIC filling up the bumper! This caught my attention…he gets behind me for a while and then switches lanes to pass me and makes sure that I hear the BOV. My car wasn’t warm yet cause it is only 9º today (it was 50 2 days ago and its supposed to be 45 in 2 more days…go figure) so I just followed him after he pulled in front of me. I was behind him for a while since he was heading the same way I take to get home, but where I usually turn left he went straight and started to go across the bridge. We were the last cars to make it through the light so we were clear from behind, so I pulled up next to him at his chosen speed of 40mph :iceslolan (which is perfect for me by the way). I gave him a quick wave and he looked ahead and dropped it down a gear, and I proceeded to drop to 2nd with him having the jump. Due to the cold pavement I started to spin (what a surprise lol) so I let up a little until I caught traction then hammered it. I pulled back that car length he had from the jump and fricken hit the rev limiter yet AGAIN! I shifted to 3rd at a little over 60 with a half length on him, I kept pulling good until about 90 where I had to let off because there was a car up a ways and I wanted enough room to slow down safely. I looked back right after I hit my brakes and he was about 2 cars back…so I probably had 2.5 – 3 car lengths on him right when I lifted. I thought I did decent considering I let him jump…then spun…then hit the rev limiter haha. I called a friend of mine and he said he knew the previous owner of the car and it has a Greddy turbo pushing 8-10 lbs of boost on what im guessing is a D16, because that’s the setup his 2 other friends are using with their civics. Im curious to run one of the other guys now because he wants to run me I guess, I just hope he doesn’t back down after word gets out. So that was my fun for this cold day…I just want the warm weather to come back

dude: good race... and i think all of us here want the warm weather back :(

nice race man
redline + eclipse GT= this weekend

sounds like fun... i wish i could take time to drive the 800 mile trip to join you guys haha.... racing here is suspected to die down due to some new laws...

yeah they deffinatly crack down on you here if they catch you
but its pretty easy to find a nice spot by just driving a few miles out of town

hahaha also, its not necesarily "impossible" to outrun the cops here
me and TorchedStealth have had a few of those close calls.

yea; well around here the cops drive chargers, most with the srt8 packages, so if ur busted, dont even try.... those bitches pull a 0-60mph in about 4.9-5.2 seconds....

what your big bad civic cant out run a fat ass charger
nice race man
redline + eclipse GT= this weekend
What kind of math is that? and welcome

dude... wtf are you talking about??? i NEVER said my car was fast.... AT ANY POINT.... i will be the first to admit.... if you think you have a car that can keep up with these things, i doubt it... chipped vettes would have a nice race on their hands

chill i was joking you gotta roll with the jokes around here man

what your big bad civic cant out run a fat ass charger

That be nort kota math rite dere! Haha im kidding we dont talk like that...well most of us lol

So last weekend Sid (701-3000gt) raced my friend tyler in his 94 honda accord (not gonna lie its not as slow as you think, but not fast by any means) Sid one, but then he raced my friend's 00 eclipse gt and sadly got walked....so we plan to take back the throne in the redline! Haha until my friend shows me up with his LS1 camaro. Its all for fun though cause we are all friends. We got vids of the races last weekend.

Sorry for letting it out Sid lol

hahaha, we frown upon numbers in ND
and its alright, we will take back the throne like you said
but yeah our highway patrol and a few sheriffs have the chargers
but around the streets in town its either an impala ss, crown vic, or expedition
and now they are getting these damn lights that go in the headliner of the car so you can even tell its a cop

aight i will start "rollin'" ..... fuck my life... just an update: we r now gettin snowed on again: 12 inches on the ground, and 14 more by tomorrow this time.... fuck my life... no races for forever...

snowmobile racing my friend

I will race my sled against your car any day!

Wow we have gotten off topic

hahahaha
still racing:icon16:

what topic? lol and have you ever seen those sleds run in the 1/4 pretty cool

yea some of those things kick ass: they had a pinks episode with a sled vs. a car... the sled was faster hahaha

Ha well my sleds climb mountains so they only go about 100-110 mph lol

What is up with all of the 3g's losing lately. You guys are going to make me bring it out and show you all what is up.

Good kill in the redline

The eclipse didn't lose. It actually pulled the 3000gt pretty good. We were just saying that we might have to MAKE the eclipse lose this weekend with the redline. So are you callenging me? cause you can drive up here to ND:iceslolan

My friend is planning to do intake, headers, exhaust, and air/fuel controller on the eclipse, so that'll make it a little quicker.

the dude with the 240 can kiss me ass.... i found out yesterday tha racew/ the eclipse never even happened.... a the d16 might not be stock by then end of march=]

oH: and that little blirp i had up there: that was rich christenson from pinks... the same thing he yells before every race....

If you are ever in Missouri lemme know. This is as close to the arctic circle I plan on going.
Why not just go the 3.5 or 3.8 route? Convert the ecu to an 02 eclipse and use a tactrix cable to tune. Those things are better than just I/h/e and afc on the 3.0. Then he can I/h/e it and be in the 13's n/a And he'll Neva lose!!!!!!

3.5 or 3.8 liter engine? Is that what your talking about? cause its almost quick enough for him, he just wants a little more kick in the pants:icon16:

yeah, you've not heard about the swaps yet? Diamante 3.5l motor is a direct fit with very minor modifications to one axle hanger and starter locater plate. lots more torque, little more hp, and those engines can be had used for ~600-800 in good condition. ~200 if you want one that's broke. You can use it with the stock computer if you have the stock fuel system on it still. It's more cost effective than i/h/e since a decent set of headers that will actually work will cost more than the swap.

Yeah ive heard of the 6g74 swap, because it is becoming more popular for 3/S now too. Like I said though he is happy with it, a few mods and he will call it good. His last car was a 92 cavalier z24 auto, so this is a big step up haha

Just swap in an LS1 and call it a day, LOL.

Just swap in an LS1 and call it a day, LOL.

We'll just swap it with the one from my friend's maro...he won't notice the loss of 2 cylinders, 2.7 liters, or 135 hp lol

yea dude: thats nothin big..... just tell him he musta blown some cylinders... making no compresion in them....
