Neon = Civic Eater !!!!!

[Anaudiophile]

Hi guys/gals! This forum stuff is cool heh?? I am so happy I found a nice place to get info about my latest adventure!!
I am wondering what it would take to soup up my 95 2.0L SOHC Neon to enable me to wax ALL the Civic's that are out there!!?? A friend of a friend has invested over 15 grand in his Civic drivetrain and my Neon just can't keep up. Do you think 98mm throttle body and a K&N filter would give me the edge??

Man. Common. You will never be able to wax ALL the civics out there. NEVER not even in your wildest dreams, why? because there are 8, and 9 second street legal civics on the road. Thats way faster than a mclaren F1, and to beat that...mmm almost impossible.

You should ask, how can i beat a civic Si, which is the sport civic. Or something more reasonable, or how can I walk over all stock civics.

yeah..theres just too many civics out there..u never know what they got under the hood.

i think its hilarious when i see neons with duel exhaust tho..u should do that so i could laugh at you

kbye

agreed, civic knowlege is too deep. I seen a neon on a site with a sticker on the window that says "Import Dreamz" haha...i was die'n. Even the R/T can't be tuned to the same extent. Find a way to drop a srt-4 engine in there and then you can start talking about racing REAL civic tuners. otherwise get a 50 shot of nos and play with the the cheesy civics that misrepresent the car. LOOK FOR THE STICKERS and remember to say "dude i almost had you"

LOL, there's a neon in my town, big azz spoiler, turbo badge, spinner wheel covers, the works right. I walk up to him at the gas station one night and ask if its really turbo'ed... he says, "naw, not yet, but I'm gonna get the kit!"

Fair enough. "How fast is it?" I ask.

This is too good. "Man it's so quick, I already got like 850 hp".

I immediately bit my tongue, almost to the point of bleeding...

"I can beat vipers it's so quick!"

"oh yeah? What have you done to it?"

"just intake and full exhaust. But I smoke 'em all. You wanna run?"

(After examining it's just a can, not full exhaust)"me, nah man, I don't race to lose. Besides I race legal now..."

The story goes on, but I tell you man, I could beat neon r/t's with my Civic EX when it only had intake. I think it has something to do with the drivers to be honest.

Is this post a joke? It must be.

[moleodonuts]

haha, based on the wording of that you make me think "civic owner who has too much confidence in civics". But then again, don't mind me; I'm just jaded. The more I learn about my civic the more I hate its guts.

Look for the stickers? ARE YOU SERIOUS?!? Ana, your not going to find what you are looking for here... They both start equal.. but then you got to "swap" this for that... Don't even worry about it because I see 9 SECOND civics all the time! Itz impozzible to beat teh civic!

[Miataracer]

a neon should beat a lot of civics off the line... it has a good bit more torque.

Isn't one of the gens as light or lighter than the civic coups of that year also?

Yes, of course adding a new throttle body and K&N filter will make your car be able to beat a civic with over $15,000 invested into it.

Neon ACR > Civic Si

Me with FDTT on this post.

A 98mm throttle body? THIS THING HAS TO BE A JOKE. A 5.0L mustang comes with a 65mm throttle body and most mustang owners that quicken their cars put a 70mm throttle body. A 75mm is too big unless your a series tuner for those motors (and its a 5.0L). Their is NO way this guy is series.........unless he's stupid and doesnt know jack SHIT about cars.
