takes alot to get an 11.9 from a CRX, doesnt it? Then making it live, keeping the trans in it, the head on without leaks, the rods usually stay inside but everything breaks around it. They are fun while they last, and even a low 12 is enough to scare most people and beat 98% of the cars out there.. just watch out for the 2% that are alot faster than 11.9

out of curiosity, how much $$ does he have in the CRX? I know the body was cheap, how much has he spent on it? Everything included, tires, wheels, everything?

 

i thought this was a mustang forum whats w\ all the rice lovers?

 

first, nice quote job. second, spell check. and third, these two civics WILL blow you away and MAYBE one sprays. both are single turbo 2.2's (i guess that's the size), fully done motors (internals, cams cranks, ect) and both pull damn good. for someone who has DYNO sheets at his fathers BODY shop ( maybe it's just me?) i still haven't seen anything. plus, dyno racing is just ghey. go to a track and show me a time slip. there was someone here a while back who claimed 600+ hp cobra and only ran a 12.20. you wanna make a claim that you are fast do it the right way go to a track and run there.

 

Possibly $3-5.000. It was a used turbo kit and he just sent off the turbo to be rebuilt. AFRs on the car are a little rich (but who the hell wants to run lean...esp in a turbo honda). Just good tuning and good wheels/tires. The car and chassis are pretty sound. He beats on this thing daily and it hasn't given him any issues. Of course...he has the willpower to drive like a normal human being most of the time as well.

 

oooh oooh, can I post some timeslips? I have them somewhere.. maybe out in the car.. lol... too much bother, since 11s are kinda slow for what it is..

 

who?? i see rice haters, THUMPIN455 is interested in the price because in the longrun, his ricebox costed more then his stang and his stang is faster. they spend too much money to get there car fast and we spend less money to get our cars faster.

 

We are called "car enthusiasts," but thanks for trying though.

We learn to appreciate all cars out there no matter the cause. At the end of the day we all have the same hobby. Some go fast, some show, some cruise, etc etc etc...but we all like to work on our cars.

 

who needs a piece of paper 2 show off their car, just pull up next 2 me one day and ill show you what a fast car runs like. ( i have pictures of the engine but when i try 2 upload them it says the picteure is 2 big and wont let me get them on here) and as for my grammar i got a c+ in english 10 last year

 

it's a mustang enthusiast forum. anyone can come here as long as they're not a troll. we're not rice lovers by any means, but we are interested in how they get that much power out of such a small motor and get that to run 11's-12's without falling apart. just cause there is a dislike for a certian type of person, a ricer, doesn't mean we don't like the cars themselves (before the ricer gets to it). it's more the personality of the MAJORITY, not all, import drivers. we have many import and non mustang owners here and they are all respected.

 

Used parts work and restraint lets things live longer. He did it on the cheap if thats all there is in it. Not too shabby, but not everyone can do it. If they could more would right? We got 11.7s from $5k, bracket raced it for 7 years at 12.1-12.0 always ran it in street trim. Slowed it down because it didnt have a cage. Plenty more in it but wanted to be safe, very mild combo, just a large engine in a 3500lb car. More than one way to skin a cat, isnt there? Keep me posted, I wanna know how long it goes between repairs.. Always curious, because the import guys I know are always breaking when they run faster than 12.2
