Incident with Honda civic bumble bee :)

[Raben]

Man I've seen some fugly hondas but man, wished I had a cam :)

This dude in a white honda with green water drop like custom paint all over it with a HUGH wing (thought it was going to sideswipe my car as he pulled next to me at the light) and a hugh fart can ofcourse. Oh and two different set of rims :) he had gold wire like rims in the front and some other chrome rims in the back. Not sure what up with that, unless he is slowly changing them to one or the other.

But he revs it at me at the light and I look over. Guy looks to be 16 to 18 age range and was laughing along with a buddy of his, so I rev it once back and wait for the light. I PB to 1800rpms as I see the other lanes light turn yellow, and when my light turned green I was gone. Dude never had a chance.

I then slow her back down to 45 (was already at 95 hehe, opps ;) ) and he darts in my lane way back giving up I guess. He then gets up on my @ss for a few moments then I see him slow down abit, and all of a sudden speeding up, pulls to the other lane and attempts ricer flyby™. . . .however as soon as he pulled to the other lane, I gunned it and still spanked him :)

Oh the joys. Not sure what he was running but whatever mods he did looks like it made his car slower. I've seen some of the other honda kids around here and some are actually pretty freaking quick, but this thing. . . hmmm I am willing to bet my wifes 98 Plymouth breeze would have stomped it. hehe :rofl:

Nice job. That 200 pound wing doesn't really help, especially with the weight transfer. :biggrin:

all he probably had was a fart tip. Around here the majority of people who have hondas with those annoying exhausts...that's all they have. Very nice, I would have loved to have done that to a ricer.

Nice job buddy.
I fooled around a bit on the way to the shop last nite with this guy in a S281 Saleen. He was gunning it at the lights and I'd tromp it (yea, he just pulled away) and crawl right back up on him. I was trying to get him to cut loose, nothing doing. He'd just pull off really strong from a stop.
Later Ryan was working on the Coug and I hear a guy say "Hey, thats the car that was behind us earlier" I thought...uh oh...it's about to get fugly. Looked up and it was Casey Atwood. Explains how the little s**t could pull off from the line so hard without wheel spin.

Casey Atwood....no sh!t. Just to be an ass, you should've asked him how his vacation in Winston Cup was now that he's back in the real world.

ha.... great race.... my buddy had one of the fast civics! i have pics of it... let me post them... rebuilt gs-r motor in a 98 civic ex... he may even ebat you raben! custom_images/emoticons/shocked.gif it was fast... 240whp, 200lbs of tq... he beat a 93 vette from 45 to 105 :) we were 4 people int eh civic the corvette guy was alone... the corvette followed us intot he gas station and asked if we had a jet motor in it haha! wtf :rofl: and we told him adn showed him, he was very impressed and extremely mad that a "ricer" beat his corvette

Sh1t, i can't find the pics, i'll post them whenever i find them... it's hard to find when your picture folder is 2.2 gigs big :(

If he can beat a vette then more than likely he'll beat me :) hehe. I'm still in the low 14's. I'm planning on running once the tracks open up again next year and see what difference the exhaust makes. I replaced the stock H to an X-pipe and the cat-back this weekend. She pulls alot stronger now than before. I'll get a new dyno in two weeks. I'm hoping I may be able to hit upper 13s with some drag radials come spring :) but never know, still a newbie to strips.


Hmmm 240fwhp on a civic, that's pretty sweet. I'm assuming it should be in the upper to mid 13s :)

you hit the ball park... more toward mid cuase it's hella torquey haha.. but after about 3 launches the axle's or axle would break :rofl:

he sold it though, he currently resides in a wrx... but he doesn't like it, misses his civic haha... he is planning on getting an older 92-96 civic and dropping in a supercharged gs-r motor(and he always has all the bolt ons! inluding flywheel :) )
