Nope, just the tip o'the mill ones a mom drivesWas it even a Si?
Don't know where they got the idea that a Civic is a fast car. Got plenty at my school, you can hear them rev their nuts off in the parking garage. But when I pull up next to one in a set of lights they're quiet and never look at me
It's why I felt compelled to trash him because he went on about his skill, then I proceeded to teach him why that was a load of poo. For the record, I'm not even that good at racing irl, I can have fun on a track day and drift a little, but that's about all you're getting from me XD

I must say, nice little story and it kinda sounded like an initial D episode to me. XD
Anyway, I honestly never ran into ricers that bad, there's just my idiot friends though that automatically assume that all american cars suck and that's it. Although, there are honda drivers on the road that annoy me often. I'm not kidding, whenever I get cut off, it's an idiot in an accord or if there's someone swerving through traffic while not even using turn signals, it's also an idiot in an accord or civic.

It felt like one tbh XD
Plus one of my fellow gearhead friends owns an accord and I can say you're absolutely right. My friend drives like a complete maniac in an ACCORD of all things. I'm amazed he hasn't understeered into a tree yet. But yeah you're right lol.

People that think they're an expert car tuner after replacing something like an air filter or headlight. People that think they know how to rebuild an entire car just because they did basic maintenance things such as change the oil & tires.

I hated this **** in high-school. I always got caught up in the conversations my classmates were having about cars. I just looked at them like really? Some of the **** being said. I remember responding to something someone was saying and they blurted "Phillip you don't know anything about cars" I just loled and said you think so?

Someone give me a dragster and no money to upgrade... still faster
As I go to an automotive engineering school, I have to deal with ricers often... Some weeks ago a girl from a higher grade came up with a MkIII Golf Roadster with Angel Eyes... When I saw this, I laughed and pointed this out to my friend, who is a BMW nut... When she heard this she went mad at me and called me names

Lol hybrids. Tesla is making some interesting stuff but they are still expensive.
Interesting. So, what else did you do to your power plant to increase efficiency? Maybe this is the wrong thread to ask that.
I have a story. When I was taking calculus in college I met this girl who supposedly raced. After she learned more about me she got all "friendly", even buying me dinner. She kept asking and asking stuff about engine technology etc. etc. So one day she gave me a ride. She had a Honda Accord. Good car. When I stepped inside she was putting on racing shoes, just to drive me home. She even had a racing steering wheel and stuff. Idk. I didn't think much of it but just thought I would share it.

Well that's good I guess. I would rather stick a pump into something with a bigger engine though. However I know there are those who are limited economically. Which is understandable. Sticking a turbo into a Honda Fit would be interesting. But idk if anyone else find Fit's interesting the way I do.

Except where is that power going to? You're going to need to run slicks to be able to hook up at low speeds with those numbers. I've run into plenty of boosted civics and they rarely give me any problems. But if they got a RWD swap, look out
Horsepower sells cars, torque wins races
That's what awd swap are for.
(Yes yes, I know that it's ridiculously hard to make a Civic awd, but they're so cool. Especially the dual motor awd Del Sol.)
That's just the acceleration side of things, if I had an ITR it'd be set up for cornering , not drags.
