black turbo Civic - Houston On the way home from work yesterday, a primered black Civic hatch with a turbo and front-mount intercooler, and a ton of gauges tried messing with me on the Beltway. Car sounded quick, turbo was kinda cool. I was in the Vette, he probably thought it would be a closer race 
Anyone know the car? He was most likely headed to HMP since he still had numbers on the windows. Gave eachother the thumbs up, it was fun.

I am sure the kid spent some money to get his lil civic where he is happy with it.
Rice or not its a sport everyone can enjoy.
- I was in Cameo's car one night and a red Hatch Civic ran me from a 30 punch.
Needless to say it was ugly and by the time we hit about 120 he was easily 4 cars ahead.
Never know what is out there these days

I wouldn't consider this particular Civic "rice". It was obviously stripped down in weight, had some racing looking wheels on it, and no stupid wings and stuff on it. Looked pretty quick in my mirror, but then again my car traps 129 in the 1/4.

sounds like a friend of mine
not sure though, ill ask him.
I ran him a few days ago in my bolt-on formula and crept away from him pretty quick.
if it was him, the car has a B20 with a small turbo pushing 5psi's right now, his timing is off and tranny is banged to crap. should be putting in a GSR tranny and other misc. stuff that he has in the garage.
-edit, was not him. he was in Dallas.

Really Nine Ball, if you would just really tell us how you feel about them, your frustrations, angers and fears of them will slowly go away and you will feel a whole of a hell lot better!
