ok, so I'll offer to run the 10 second civic one more time.
wanna do it or not?
my car is obviously inferior to yours since you find talking **** to our members here so much fun with your 1 in 500 honda.
I'll be happy to drag your *** for free or cash.

OR SHOULD I SIMPLY GO ON HOUSTON-IMPORTS.COM AND CALL YOU OUT?

You can do that if you feel the need.. but I have no problem watching you trying to drag my *** at houston raceway. I will be @ a race this weekend in baton rouge so this weekend is out of the question, however the following weekend I am game. We can do this for bragging rights and will be happy to post the video when its done.. win or loose. Oh and I forgot to mention.. this is a full interiored registered street driven nissan like my car right? And one more thing.. I want to make the record straight.. I never spoke **** to any of your members nor did I ever say your car was inferior.

haha... I thought you had a honda... j/k... I really don't think Aries was talking to you in particular... I think he was talking about the original poster. Yeah... Aries's car ain't nothing special... you should have no problem beating it... but be careful... I think you are setting yourself up for giving a ricer excuse with that comment. I still give you props for your car though...

Hey Milla,
Instead of an engine swap. Strap on a J.A.T.O. rocket to the top of your car. You'll be the fastest import racer in the world. That would shut up the whole damn forum and this topic!
Of course, Grey and I will have to work on engineering the car to stop at the end of the quarter.

EDIT: Damnit that was my 400th post and it wasn't even a good one!

Im not really sure exactly what the heck im gonna do, but im thinking if anything, maybe a 2.0 bottom end, and maybe a cheap turbo from ebay or a junk yard or something... not really sure though, but that rocket idea sounds pretty cool! haha...
and congrats on the 400th post... you been here longer than I have, but I still gots over 1000 posts on ya!!!

yes, my car is daily driven, registered and inspected.
you'll be in for a surprise if you think you'll walk arround men though

And yes, I was interrested in running the original poster, but I'll run you too gsrev.
Bragging rights are always fun to get

BTW, the Grocery getter has run 10.8 in the 1/4 before, so I would assume that the original poster of this thread is atleast that fast.

aries, the original poster mochanic is the person that built my car. It is no secret what my car runs, so if you run faster than a 10.5 you MAY win.. but it will still be a good race. But anyhow.. if it makes you feel better, I spoke with Nurv99 and he will be there also so take a few bottles with you cuz I am sure you will need them

Some of the very same technology that GM is starting to put in their cars was derrived from Honda... such as VTEC that was invented back in 1991.
Honda didnt invent V-tec.

Oh really?

VTEC Inventor

Damn they must of lied to us all then... Back when I was in school at WYO tech in 91-92 I remember Honda had just dontated a working model that demonstrated VTEC, and a history of its invention. Not to mention I went straight to work for Acura right after graduating, and then went to Honda/Acura school that also taught VTEC theory and operation.

So if they did not then who did, and why didnt they get credit for it and apply "their" technology to the first VTEC equipped automobiles?

No, while the guys at Autologic are good friends of mine, they had nothing to do with these 2 cars being built.

John built his own with a Co-worker of his. I built Alex's along with quite a few other 11 sec. full interiored daily driven Honda/Acuras.
You guys havnt seen nothing yet!!!


As for $5k 11 sec. Hondas, bring me a Civic SI that already comes with a DOHC 1.6L VTEC from the factory, and $5k and I will give you back a car that will run 11's on a daily basis with full interior and all accessories!!! Yes, a car that starts out running mid 15's!!! Hell, at least the LS1 runs 12's to start with... LOL

They invented VTEC so ricers can claim "it didn't kick in" when they lose.

Oh.

5K could put an Fbod in 10's all day. What's the point of this argument?

no argument, just replying to FLYNLO's previous few posts. Sorry for not quoting him!

but if what you say is true, then why doesnt everybody have a 10 sec. LS1?
There may be 2 of them around here... out of 100's of them!
