Awesome Pictures!
 
Look at this Truck, I think this guy is the first one ever to successfully complete an S-10 turbo. Take a look. There are not alot of pics, but you get the idea.

Very nice, but why the ---- would you instal the air filter so it sucks all the hot air from the radiator in? Damn, I guess that can be fixed, but why?

I would be pissed if I got smoked by an S10. Those things are turds (as opposed to my Civic being crazy fast stock ::)) .

I use my s-10 for crusin and my mazda for racing, And I've never been beat by a civic. Street or track.

Re:Awesome Pictures!
 
You're telling me your S10 smokes Civics? What exactly is done to your little S10 and what kind of Civics were you racing. A stock S10(4 cylinder) will not pull on a stock Civic unless the Civic has problems.

I was actuly taiking about my mazda not my s10, my s10 has a Lt1 punched dynoed 475 hp 13.5 slicks posi. I realy dont think you civic would be to much of a problem. But I know there are some out there that are realy nice and fast.
Most just put on loud exhaust and parade around town.

Well, if his S-10 daily driver makes 475hp from an LT-1 and his mazda is the faster of the two... I doubt he'd have any trouble from 99.7% of the civics out there, but I guess there is always a guy with $30K in a honda ( IE: drag suspen., Built B18C5, T3/T4 turbo ) that could beat him or at least come close..

I hate all S-10s, minus the ones that sport LT-1s... I'd like to see one with an LS-1 and 150shot..

I dont know what your civic runs, Lets say at very best it could run in the 9-10's I wouldnt be that far behind you, I have never turned down a race you never know what will happen. My mazda, It's not crazy fast, We have just been working on it, all the little stuff, plus a turbo kit It has a small turbo so It has wild low end to about 140ish than it kinda dies off, it will still do over 200 but not as fast. And I dont think you know what i'm saying, Acivic has never beat me, But there is nothing in this town that is like a fast furious car. I know there are fast civics out there. Most people with civics think beacuse it says honda it will beat everything on the road. What do you run?

forget that, i dont need 30K in my honda to beat that ;D

ZexRex 08-23-2003 06:33 PM

Re:Awesome Pictures!
 
i have about $4k in my $650 honda and with about 4k more i will be in the 12s with a built b18c1, hondas arent incredably fast they are just fun to build, and easy as hell to work on, i like them.

that s10 is pretty cool, i wonder how fast it is.. and if it would keep up with a v8 s10.. traction must be a bitch with those wonderful no rear weight, leaf suspension, and that one even had radials.

my daily driver is a 96 mazda b2300 and even with a 75 shot it is slow.

Re:Awesome Pictures!
 
My truck in my opinoin is awesome. But when you race it is hard, all it does is spin. I can lay ruber posi at 120
Thats wild. but if i get good tires and about 300lbs in the back it will go.

Ya, sounds like an idea. And when I'm done I'll drop it off at your place.

Re:Awesome Pictures!
 
lemme see if i'm am hearing you right. you're going 120. and you punch it. you spin the tires? BULLLLLLSHIT.

with only 475hp? you're crazy. whats the torque numbers on that engine you built. with 500ft-lbs, cruising at 55mph. i can shift down from 4th and spin a couple times, with big ass tires but with skinny tires i can spin forever (i've done it before and almost crashed). but @ 120. if you spin the tires you're going to crash.

ZexRex 08-24-2003 12:56 AM

Re:Awesome Pictures!
 
he has no weight over the rear axle, on a stock ranger (90hp even less torque to the rear wheels) in the rain it will spin at 75 mph in 4th gear.. not a good idea to do that btw.

Well in my original post I was talking about an S10 with the factory motor which is without a doubt a turd. If I threw a blown 454 in my tiny ass Civic I would be a force to be reckoned with.

I was just messin with you anyways. As of today my Civic is no longer. It underwent some major surgery and will never be driven again. Most of the parts that were on it are for sale in the classified section. :'(

the v6 s10s will roast any integra, civic, crx. all stock of course. i roast ricers all the time in a 1999 dodge dakota slt v8. i held even with a 91 integra LS with i/h/e. in a truck. hillarious

Maybe I just forget how slow a stock Honda actually is?

I will give the Vortec chevy motors credit where it is deserved. They have nice power.

i test drove a v6 s10. it was quick. after a while of driving a honda with a CAI you start to think its fast. but its not. trucks are faster than them.

Man Get your head out of the civics and start to think, I'm not a big guy and I can lift the rear end off the ground. When we did that 120km it was with regular tires on a wide open track, I was lucky it didnt go side ways, or start doing donuts. I'll see if I can get out there and get a picture of the road. I dont remember the tourqe spec it was higher than the hp but I would only be guessing.

So you were doing 75MPH. That sounds more believable. Where do you live?

uhm isnt the turbo model of the s10 the cyclone.. and the typhoon..


J-SMITH69 08-24-2003 03:39 PM

Re:Awesome Pictures!
 
kinda but not really. that is a GMC sonoma i believe. thats what a syclone is based on. the typhoon is based on the GMC SUV of the time.


syclones are AWD too.

89dxhunchback 08-24-2003 04:33 PM

Re:Awesome Pictures!
 
syclone was a 4.3L and was the fastest production truck built to date, back in 1991. 13.0 !!!
One of the many reason I hate the corvette..

Syclone smacks the piss outta the corvette, then GM axes the syclones..

Vettes suck ( gotta give props to the Z06, but its still a "mid-life crisis" car ).

Re:Awesome Pictures!
 
on my old rx, i can spin the tires going 65.

i had 4.30 final ratio on my rear end and it had a v8 it.

lots of torque and narrow rev range makes traction impossible, and was swapped out with 3.xx much better for highway/street!

J-SMITH69 08-24-2003 11:32 PM

Re:Awesome Pictures!
 
neo is right. i can only spin the tires over a couple times @ 55mph with .373 gears.

but with this mini tires i put on it for fun, i could spin them forever. the tires where shorter, and it prob changed the gear ratio to .450 somethin
