It has never been uncommon for guys in EX's to ask what i had done
And look amazed when I would say that it was a D15, and that it was all motor.


Although now EX's can't even dream of getting close enough to ask without turbo.

there sure seems alot of EX hating going on in this thread...silvery2kcivic was just sharing a cool story about his victory.....but it seems like maybe afew of us are like bitter or something that they dont have the vtec...be happy that you can beat a vtec! with your swap...and yes i think thats true... my friends lx is quicker than a few ex's that i have seen...and i do get pissed that alot of people use their vtec as their "cure all race machine, that can beat any thing in the world" so yes i can see how you guys hate some ex guys.. but he isnt an EX basher....oh well...im sure now ill get hate mail from some of guys telling me that i should go to hell and just burn my vtec or sell it in my garage sale for $10...

first off , how do you know that he didnt just get a phone call saying his mother died or somethin ?? he may have had an emergency situation and needed to get around you , thats why he broke off 2 lanes over after yall's little incident . even if he didnt have an emergency , some people like to drive a little or alot faster that others , being that he had a somewhat performance type civic he may have just been having some fun in it . Im not trying to justify his actions but you speeding up didnt make it any safer for any of the cars around you. So what you get cut off , who doesnt ?? some people wanna get where they are going alot faster than others so they need to do what is necessary , in a safe manner that is ....

Pardon me, but no moron is going to get anywhere fast by driving in the slow lane, which is where he moved to when this went down. If he had an emergency he should have gone AROUND me, not ride my ass for a couple minutes before going around me. Yeah, some emergency...

D16Y8s are whack - I can't wait to get mine swapped out for a B18C/R1 (GSR block). The 2000 Civic Si weighs in at 2513, but it comes with a DOHC B16A which is obviously a little heavier then a D16Y8 (that comes in the EX trim) because it's got one more Cam and Cam gear, a longer timing belt, and a thicker block and wider head and valve cover. (probably not more then 10 lbs heavier though) - all of which is negated depending on how much gas either car has got in it. As soon as I've got enough money to swap my engine, I want to find someone with a stock EX to race me that also has an automatic so I can see where my driving skills lay.

I raced a silver 97ex, the guy was a pizza delivery guy (LOL!) and he was just cruzin by in a 35mph zone and then he punched it. He slowed down and when I got even with him... he (already in 2nd, you could hear his engine winding) got on it again. I threw down into second and walked all over him. THen he signaled for me to pull over. He was like "What kind of swap do you have a b16?" My car was stock except for heavier than stock 16" rims and a custom cat back system. He thought I was lying so I had to open my hood and show him, hehe.

He had 5spd with a dc sports header, some kind of cat-back system (I think it was dc also), plug wires, and a hot air intake. I was kind of suprised, but more than that I was humored by the guy.

I also ran a 99-00 ex 2dr stick when I was on my way back from mississippi to alabama on the interstate. My friend was with me and we have a bunch of crap in the car, and the guy does a couple of flybys... then I asked him if he wanted to run. The only mod that was visible was exhaust, which is probably all that he had. We stayed dead even from about 70-110 both times we ran. Then a black ITR crept up on us and the guy in the ex tried running him, I just watched

I mean to race them with the current block that I've got in my car right now before swapping - I'm getting a new engine anyways right why not have one last hurrah with the current engine in my car?
