There's always something faster. I take comfort in knowing the chances of him getting more than 5,000 miles on that engine are pretty much non exsistent....

the civic in myavatar is a 1200 hp car too...

hahaha.

 

anyone seen the video of the 900+ HP saleen? I'd like to see him go against thatttt.

 

lol wat do u expect...vtech kicked in...but in all seriousness some people need to recognize that american cars arnt everything, u put enough money in a car and ur gonna get results..but i still wouldnt drive a turbo turd like that

 

ya but think how much money he put into a car that he bought for 5000 gs, but it looks ****ty as hell.

 

Am I deaf, or was there no blower whine in that vid? It looks like the cobra let off.

 

Ok I think you missed a few steps.

1.) I took my car to the dyno and only made 4.9 psi due to beltslip(bad bad slip) and a boost leak which i didnt know about.
2.) my tuner gave me extra fuel so that i would run ok after i fixed my boost problem.
3.) i changed my belt but the car still ran funny.
4.)found a boost leak(hose that comes out of passenger side valve cover was split all the way down and the line sees boost. i dunno how much this affected my cars performance but it sure didnt help!
5.) Fan Fuse blew and my car overheated and shot antifreeze through the cap all over my engine bay which in turn ruined my belt
6.) Now with my belt once again slipping i ran 8.69 @88 mph spinning all the way through first 80% through second and 50% through 3rd.

So thats the breakdown. its sorta tuned, but it is rich on the bottom end(1-3K) i'll be gettin new tires and a new tune soon. but that could be another month away. So i'll let ya know when i put some good numbers down. But on a good note it was 98 degress when i tuned it and it made exactly the same power as before on 1.5 less boost and last tune was 61 degrees. so it definitely shows potential

 

Same thought had crossed my mind. Who cares though, that civic is a serious POS. Anyone see the tuner guy who was chearing for the "v-4" in the youtube comments?? lol.

 

Yes, I sure did. The only thing I remembered was your appointment getting screwed up. Thanks for the clarification.
