I dont think you understand that MOST honda "builds" are ****. Yes there are some good running cars everywhere that are well built, but any given parking lot full of cars is going to be 90% ****.

 

I would have just jumped out early, hit the hazards, then braked hard. Hazards = win.

I agree 100%

 

I really enjoy driving mine. It may even get a few mods eventually, just focused on paying it off right now.

 

LOL funny you mentioned that...my hazards were on for each race as soon as the rape was happening...

 

Dat Evo!!! :-E


Good races. I love that evo, need to get one for my DD.

 

No, i understand. Which is why i was stating how shitty it would HAVE to be to be THAT slow. Not saying its un-common, but just saying it must've been pretty darn shitty. Like 90% of honda owners's setup. Usually the fast guys don't even meet up at meets down here, they just meet up get runs in and leave, none of that parking lot stunting bullshit all these kids are into.

 

This has always been my point.

 

If 90% of LSx owners were broke *** hype kids in HS, it would be the same **** with these cars.


Edit: Doesn't matter what platform it is, if the $ is there it has potential to be fast. Obviously in the hondas case those cars are cheap as **** and apeal to broke *** HS kids. Thats all it is. Its not hard to or a difficult task to make them fast, if thats what your trying to insinuate. Perfect example, look at the LTx cars.

 

This.

 

fixed

 

No. Just no.

 

Not really.

 

I don't know of too many kids in hs who had LSx cars.

My graduating class was ~650 and I knew of 2 LSx cars, one of which being owned by the best friend. 2 LT1 cars, 1 of which being owned by me.

And about one Honda for every 4 cars you walked past haha

Probably a group of 30+ of so Honda guys - from your turbo builds to your "fast" cai only to your fart cannon only. These were the guys to hang out on the bridge downtown

Edit: Although now I'm sure the game has changed because over the past 4 years, LTx and LSx cars have dropped in price substantially

 

Not one LSx car in my HS when i was there. Only SRT-4's, POS mustangs, obviously your stock motor swap hondas and a couple LTx cars. This one kid i knew with an LTx ws6 with i forgot wtf it had was door to door with my friends 2006 2 door si with a short ram intake and catback.

Like i said the LTx platform aint **** but 90% of the ones you run into on the street are ****, because of the people it appeals to and the deepness of there pockets. Deep pockets=fast car. Its as simple as that.

 

That kid makes up the entire tool shed. What a turd bucket that thing is. Good kill op. ******* honda guys... ***** didn't smash the camera and called you out for having AWD. LOL That was awesome. I don't know how you kept your cool OP. I would put some baby powder in my hand, reach back, and slap-a-hoe.

 

Agreed, 90% of LTx cars run like crap as well. I remember when I bought mine, the previous owner (probably 40) bought it from his boss's son (20 at the time). Car leaked oil and had a Flowmaster catback and BBK shorty headers. We looked under the car and realized only 1 of the bolts in the oil pan were torqued to spec. Swapped out the oil pan gasket and no more leaks! Then did my other stuff. It was nice running LS1 Fbodies that underperformed and pissing off their owners.

You should have seen what my old LT1 did to a bolt-on RSX Type-S. Lets just say it was never pretty for him. Kid owned/owns a shop here specializing in Hondas as well. Definitely could rip some gears, so that wasn't the problem. He has a couple badass Hondas

 

Yeah ive been watching a bunch of AI H/C LTx car vids lol lately those ***** are badass, i went on there site to see wtf why is it so un common saw the price and was like "oh okay". Makes sense highly doubt many HS kids have 3k+ just chillen to get together a proper H/C setup.

Ive seen alot of **** shops too, you never know these days. Theres a bunch of turbo hondas coming out though, a buddy just made 570 on his stock k20. One of my favorite hondas around here. Simple and built for business.

 

Still not a fan of the looks, but those are subjective, and I can respect/appreciate anything that is fast. 570 is cooking!

Yeah, when I had the LT1, I was leaning towards A/I HCI 383 or swapping to the turbo LQ4 build or similar my buddy Andy has. I only rode in it at 10psi. Can only imagine what she will do with an upgraded turbo this Spring. After a ride in that thing, sometimes I miss having the F-body and wish I would have done that turbo build. Then the practical side of me tries to say "priorities", but still nearly fails to overcome the want for speed/fun.

On a side note, ever notice how much **** people talk in this video. Hell, when I had a fun car, I would run anything. I didn't care if I got freight trained, it was still fun to me. The only time I would ever talk **** to anyone was if they provoked me with the same behavior first. Chat, have some friendly runs, show respect and chat afterwards, part ways.

 

**** that man, too much maintenance with turbo cars. I woulda just threw down a H/C and nitrous whenever **** gets real. Thats what i plan on doing with my car.

 

Friends keep on trying to talk me into Turbo LQ4 or Procharged LS1 fbody. I'm still leaning picking up an A6 LS3 C6. Bolt-ons trap around 120. A big increase from my old bolt-on LT1 that was capable of 107mph in near perfect air at its weight.

I just kind of want something I can jump in and drive and have reliable
