Yes how many do you see. They have sold hundreds of thousands of civic's. So what is the probability of you actually seeing a fast civic? Thats just like me asking you, how often do you run into a twin turbo vette like Lingenfelter's.

Re: Raced a 25psi, stock Civics do NOT run mid 15 second quarter times. My parents had a 2002 and just got rid of it. That thing was a total turd and ran mid-high 16's on a good day. They have a 240 HP Accord now that has decent kick for a sedan, and it runs low-mid 15's.

Re: Raced a
Why would anyone actually bring a stock civic to the track? Thats like bringing a hampster to a baseball game and expecting it to play short-stop.

Re: Raced a
I will bash Civics, ricers and every other piece of **** under the sun. Here I go... **** RICERS!
Who in their right mind looks at a civic at the dealership and says I'm gonna make you a drag car. Even if you can afford to make it fast when you take it home it from the track every night it will still be a civic.
The prospect of having a fast civic would probabally be as fun as tossin off with a cheese grater.
If you want a "fast" ricer at least buy one intended for speed, MR2, Supra, etc.
Besides, why Honda? Toyota is better! Hell in my opinion I'd take a mustang first. They are a dime a dozen and there is a huge aftermarket for them.

I like the story except for the part that said T3 was a good movie.
Then again, I like anything that has alot of explosions, and hot chicks.
Personally, I think it wouldve been much better if they just had the chick terminator walk around, completely naked, and shoot **** ... all movie long. No need for a story line.

!LS1 11 Second Club
Re: Raced a 55 yr old Arnold is "getting old" in every aspect of the cliche. Just compare him to how he looked in T1. He should finish out the Conan series and hang up the action/adventure coat for good. This is coming from a huge fan.
camaro kid, I had a '93 LX 5.0 Notch 5sp -bone stock. Why start with 100hp less to start modding? For lots of us who are not do it yourself motorheads, the LS1 is a godsend.

Re: Raced a I have a 93 notch with low comp in two cylinders.
It once ran a 12.9 1/4.
Anyway I decided to mod this one instead of the Z due to money restrictions. The rear is already built but I will need a new tranny
My goal was to turbo a forged 331 but a little research and I found out that the blocks like to crack in the valley at about 550hp.
So throw about $2000 more down for a dart block!!! There are pros and cons.
