Me no understand. How can be in school but still not use even close to proper grammar?
Hondas: So easy a caveman can do it.
I don't usually tease anyone about grammar (I'll offer a "translation" to help others understand and hopefully leave the person alone), but dear god, your posts become REALLY difficult to understand.
But no, the B16A2 is not fast. It's "sporty" or "peppy", but not fast. You have to also remember this car is fully loaded with all the accessories. The only thing it's missing is two extra doors, a hatch and ABS.
The GTS might have 180 hp compared to the Civic Si's 160 hp, but the quarter mile times are still virtually identical. The Celica is supposed to weigh 2500 pounds and the Civic Si comes in at 2601 pounds.
Stripping your car down is a waste of time. 100 pounds is going to shave about 0.1 second off your quarter mile time.
To really put that into perspective: Your hood weighs about 40 pounds. Your rear seat weighs much less than that. Stripping it will not make you win, will only risk damage to the vehicle and will trash the value of the car.
Honestly, who f**king cares if this douche drives a quicker car than you?
Make your car pretty and pick up more girls than he does. The back seat might end up coming into play if this works.
lol! Sorry about the grammar but I suck at English straight up. I am way better at science and math. Yeah you are right even if his car is faster then mine. I know there will always be car that is faster then mine out on the road. But it like a grudge inside me wanting to beat his ass.lol.
lol hey its mishimoto, rare to see you guys here, bought a intake from you guys off ebay, great product
but yea man my car is slowwwwwwwww so i went for looks lol
.. can you say parada tires?
i literally LOL'd
lol what is the point of your post..? and what about parada tires
dude, your seriously overrating your civic. those few bolt-ons you have are really no big thing. if you're really worried about some dbag in a celica then won't you stop wasting your money throwing ebay parts at your car and do a GSR or ITR short block swap and have an obd1 ecu chipped and tuned. if you really can drive and shift like "unwrapping a candle" then you should haven no problem outperforming the celica

1. congrats on beating a d series. lol
2. the rsx will destroy you, 14's isnt bad at all for a dd/street car
3. knock on anyones door? wtf?
4. please dont dyno your car. it will be like.. 140 or somethin.. save that money, buy a gsr bottom end and put your b16 head on it and trans. id say that would get you the best bang for the buck.
Yeah I already stated that the totally built LS/VTEC was toda everything wasn't that fast.
Yes of Course an RSX Type S will destroy me but not a Base model.
That night my cousin with his 03 Rsx type S:intake, header, exhaust, and solid motor mounts raced me.
We launch and I got it then he pulls up by the end of first gear and then pull away from then on.
That is a no brainer question.
What I meant was for no one to get offend if I said that single cam was slow and there people go stating the obvious.

B16A2's are slow. Regardless of what ANYONE says. A stock B16A2 with bolt-ons is slow. A stock B16 will run a mid to high 15 1/4 mile. Bolt-ons will add a couple tens of a second, if that.
And didn't the GTS come with a 6-speed transmission? Shorter gears with slightly more torque helps out in acceleration.
If you think LS/VTEC or B20/VTEC's aren't that fast, go race one and find out how bad your ass will get stomped. Much worse than the GTS. With a proper tune and mild engine work, they can be pretty quick motors.

Yeah! I heard LS/Vtec was fast but apparently not this one. He ran in the low 15s and he told me he got ls bottom with gsr head. Toda cam and gear and etc. It was a eg hatch totally stripped and his brother had a gsr turbo eg hatch which ran 12s.. I ran 16 flat and the two other si ran high 16s and low 17s that day. The other si had way more mod then I did, but couldn't launch so good but still. Here is the clip of the si but this is against my cousins rsx:

Holy s**t that Si doesn't know how to launch. It looks like he's letting off the gas after he launches the car, then gets back on it. That car should be running a mid to high 15. He REALLY doesn't know how to drive. I could beat him with my d-series lol.
Same goes the ls/vtec. If he's running 16's, either he needs a tune really bad, or he needs to learn to drive really bad.

man the si driver needs to learn how to drive
Well i raped a mazda speed 3 the other night with a turbo, damn it felt so good, i love when ppl talk s**t about my car then get killed in a race! Makes my life complete!
this all doesn't make sense if you have videos of the track why not track your car? none of this should matter without time slips. not trying to hate just wondering.
I do got time slips and my best is 16 flat (don't feel like downloading it on but if you insist just hit me up and I wll down load for y'all). At the time I had intake, header, and intake manifold I think. My two si rims with tires were worn out so I took my cousin's 98 dx donut with 185/65/r14 tires and had them on the front with it at 20 psi.
Had no traction what so ever. Always burn until 4k rpm on lauch and always burn on shifting 1-2, 2-3. Had bad traction and plus this was my first time at track so I wasn't so good at time. At the end of the test and tune my cousin finally told me that I was launching to late. I always launched when the light was green and he told me to launch the light right before the green so that my car would start to move exactly on green. But I was afraid that I would launch too early and get no time.
I would of landed in the low 15s if I had better tires like 205/50/15 on my si rims and know when to launch because my reaction time was way too slow.
The reason why the si seem to launch and then slow down is because he bogged on launch. This happens to a lot of the honda at track. The LS/VTEC ran low 15s but he claim that he can run high 13s but I never saw it at track.
