That is true about where BCisme lives. All that are in NN is Civics, Integras, and DSM's. Some are done up right others aren't. BTW I think I've seen your stang, does the license plate have something to do with eating rice?

Its the civic's and integra's that have the DOHC Vtec motors to watch out for when turboed!!! A single cam honda turboed will get you about 200 to 220hp, but a B16A, B18C1, B18C, B18C5, LS-Vtec, and CR-Vtec turboed will get you anywhere from 250 to 500hp! Remember the chasis the engines are thrown in vary from the light weight 88 CRX hf at 1950lbs, to the heaviest being the coupe at like 2700lbs. Remember power to weight ratio is always key in drag racing.

I waiting for the true Honda sleeper which is an 84 civic hatch. I think it is a Gen. II body that weighs about 1500lbs. If anyone has seen the movie Pulp Fiction, its that little car Bruce Willis drives that other guy over with. That is the true sleeper with a proper engine swap that is unstoppable!!

yeah, but i like the look of the rex a little better. there are a few people (or...one that i've heard of), that have put the awd from the civic wagon in the crx. sounds a little expensive so i doubt i'll be messin with it any time soon...but that would be hella sleeper too. turbo crx launching with awd

(as far as motor setup)
Man....All you do is race civics.....LOL . Nice Kill.. Good one.<img border="0" src=smileys/smiley1.gif border="0"></p><edited><editID>Admin</editID><editDate>38027.9733796296</editDate></edited>

Our school has a Muscle Car Club, and an Import Club. My club wasn't doing anything on a track night, and I couldn't get anyone in there to go with me to the track...so I tagged along with the imports who just so happened to be going.</P>
My first run was a 14.46 @ 97, second a 14.34 @ 98, and a 14.39 @ 98....I started thinking what is wrong with my 60' times, was the engine warm, etc., etc...</P>
So I meet back with the Imports after my runs. One got a 13.7 and he wasthe mostheavily modded and turboed Eclipse. He was the idol and they thought it was pretty impressive. The other Eclipses, Talons, and a Civic were boasting about their mid 14 times...all of these guys except for one were turboed. </P>
So when they asked my time and found out I had a 14.3 and was not impressed on my almost stock GT, they got quiet...</P>
