people dig the sound...
factory bov's aren't that loud, but you can hear it...

One thing that turns me off when a Civic pulls up to me is a super-load BOV. It reminds me of the public transportation system... you know when you're next to a bus and the hydraulic system lets out that loud whip sound. Pisses me off. I've actually turned down a race because the guy's BOV... If I wanted a loud whip noise in my ear I'd pull out my Winchester and BOHVP (blow off his vital parts).

what the hell are you talking about!!!!!!!!!!! that's some BS, sayin shit like 50hp for each sticker. I don't appreciate that kind of shit.......Look at my signature for the proper power gains from stickers.........:finger: :finger:
But seriously, i don't like how you're bashing honda's and shit. If a car can run 8 sec 1/4 times, then that's damn fast. Especially if it's a FWD. Knockin on the door to 7's too. I'm not dissing on domestics, because i definately like them too. I just like all cars. Except for ugly ones.

Alot of rice I know of talk alot of shit how v8's are too heavy, and can never go fast. They say RWD cant ever have as much potential as FWD.

I like alot of rice, but alot of these civic boys and girls talk alot of shit with 17 second "fast" rides.

u ever lost to a rice? u always say how ya beat em. One day you gonna come up against one that'll really tear the shit outta you. In my experience, the stuff that looks the best aint always the stuff that goes the best, so never underestimate wot ur up against.

I cant wait till the day I find one who smokes me. I want to race an NSX, I dont plan on wining, my only hope would be to ram it off the road :hehe: but it would be defentally fun.

Maybe then a poor homeless japanese family could cook the rice they found in a ditch for dinna!

those guys are insane. front wheel drive will never be as good as rear wheel drives. the only thing front wheel drive has over rear wheel drive is that its initialy more stable in the rain and in the snow.

[IceHouse]

yea front wheel drive is better???? The only people that will say that are stupid people that buy hond civics and think that they will beable to make them go fast and HANDLE well. FWD is pathetic. but so are muscle cars. yea if you go to the track all the japanese ricer cars will eat your 5.0's dropings as they lap you for the second time.

[MadZ]

Its one thing to drive your gutted out, roll-caged, uncomfortable, unreliable, UGLY ricer to the track in hopes of breaking 14's..... while its quite another to drive your smooth cruising, creature comforted, daily driver to the track and almost effortlessly pull a 13 sec. 1/4. By the way, I'm not picking on imports here, (just rice) but there is a definite difference between "rice" and say... a nice Supra or MR2 or something along those lines - the difference being that the Supras and what not are meant to be sports cars and are meant to be fast, mom's civic is not.

[flylwsi]

i'm posting a reply i've posted before...

why are there integra type r's and mazda mp3s that outhandle bmw's in the SPEED touring car series? i don't care what your top speed is... explain to me how a poor handling fwd MP3 ran faster through a slalom course than a zo6 and a ferrari 360 modena?

car and driver had that one...

so fwd handles pretty bad eh?

just b/c you have driven crappy fwd cars... don't go pointin fingers cuz you can't afford a nice handling one

That's the point of trying to make a Civic go fast, it wasn't intended to go fast. People expect Supra's and 5.0's and what not to be fast. Plus the look on a guy's face when his v8 loses to a four banger is classic.

The look on 4bangers faces when my boat wastes them is pricless :bandit: They expect mustangs, cameros etc to beat them, but not some tub of a ford Fear the blue oval rice boys and girls in your moms civics. See, a non moded 133cid civic, with bodymods *read weight* vs my 302cid slightly moded *with alot of weight* Well, They may not weigh as much as me, but I have way more then enough cubes to make up for it

135hp 128torque stock VTEC
200hp 270torque stock 5.0 (with automatic)

I kick on hp, and the torque defentally pulls more than my weight, numbers say it all

[MadZ]

I see your point Marc-0S, what you have described is what we call a "sleeper" I've always wanted to build a good sleeper car myself.... you do know what a "sleeper" is right?.....ok, now explain to me why these civic driving kids spend more on non-functional body parts than they do on more horsepower? I've seen civics with wings bigger than the whole rest of the car, looks like its going to fuckin fly away or something.

[banditkiller]

gotta love those huge flying pieces although there is a person around my way with a 96 ford probe gt i think the last time i checked he could out fly a f-16

on the other hand i now have a 89 non turbo rx-7 non modded yet talk about the rice boys whinning how bout getting beat by some that displaces less cubes than the average harley heh have fun ricers my rx-7 will soon be making you cry again

[TerminalVelocity]

i'm looking into a second car for just plain fun, and the RX-7 is high on my list, those haul ass, ,with a 8 grand redline stock...15.5 sec for the 2nd gen non turbo, but that has alot ofpotential.

[street_racer_00]

I personally like MY sleeper. No one expects a 4-door family sedan to be fast (unless the people are REALLY knowledgeable.) I like whooping civic ass when some punk thinks he is tough because he has an aftermarket muffler on his civic, it's priceless
