Repost.

Re: Dad's first taste of boost
 

Thats awsome...lol

Re: Dad's first taste of boost
 

major repost JH

Still awesome non-the least

Re: Dad's first taste of boost
 

funny video. doesn't really look that fast though. videos always look slow though

Re: Dad's first taste of boost
 

My pops left a indent in my dash the first time i took him for a ride.
Hes also 60.
LOL

Re: Dad's first taste of boost
 

Re: Dad's first taste of boost
 

reminds me of the first time i hit boost in a teg with a non-opening wg :1 :1

Re: Dad's first taste of boost
 

i let my pop drive the civic with ls turbo, boost was at 16lbs but he wouldnt let it spool up. he would let off at like 4psi,

He didnt understand that he was alowed to keep on the gass pass 3500 rpms lol...

Re: Dad's first taste of boost
 

yes it's a repost, but on a side note. why does it always look slow in videos?
i have 2 videos of my crx and both of them look slow as ----. they are 70-120 runs or something like that. sure doesn't look like i'm going 120 in them.

Re: Dad's first taste of boost
 

it a reposr but i like watching it every once and a while

Re: Dad's first taste of boost
 

Yeah he doesnt look to go very fast. In my case its hard to impress my father, he drives 300hp+ v8 since he is 17yo...

He was kinda surprised by the turbo teg tho ;D

Funny vid :P

Re: Dad's first taste of boost
 

I think I posted this originally? Anywho it's old, but was funny.

Reasons video's might seem slow:
1. You don't feel the g-forcez
2. You don't hear the loudass engine
3. Cameras are usually placed farther from the road than your eyes are, so it seems slower. Like when you're going 120mph and look at things distant from you, doesn't look that fast.

Re: Dad's first taste of boost
 

you can tell it has a bit of power by the car the car squats but ya its hard to believe 600+rwhp by that video

Re: Dad's first taste of boost
 

Word of advice for anyone who is shooting video of their car at the track,shoot from middle track so your not zooming and you get the flyby action. Car will actually look fairly quick



Never zoom in unless you want it to look like its standing still.

Re: Dad's first taste of boost
 

well i'm zoomed out all the way. the camera is mounted just behind and to the left of where the passengers head would be.
this is a 60-110mph run. 3rd-4th gear pull.

and this is a 40-110mph run. i started in 3rd gear when the one car was next to me. you can see the car in my jdm rear view mirror.

doesn't look like a 12sec crx to me. i never ran it at the track, but i beat high 12 - low 13 sec cars on the freeway all the time

Re: Dad's first taste of boost
 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
im going to goahead and say its not a 12 sec crx.. ;) if you havent run it then you wouldnt know...

Plus everyone knows turbo cars pull like a raped ape once you get up top....The problem with hondas is the first 60ft...on the highway ill beat a 12sec mustang all night long, but the best i run on the strip is 13.1....

Re: Dad's first taste of boost
 

If its a healthy d on 12 psi+slicks+good driver=12's

Re: Dad's first taste of boost
 

it's a healthy dohc zc on 12 psi. with slicks it's running 12's.
and speaking of ape raping
i raped a c5 zo6 on the freeway, but lost to a stock g35 from a dig cause i couldn't get the ---- to hook.

i just sold her and she's gonna get dynod this weekend. i'm excited to see what she does. i thnk he's gonna get slicks and run it at the 1/8th mile tracks here too.

as soon as my chevy II is running i'm gonna get an eg hatch and shoot for 11's

Re: Dad's first taste of boost
 

oh and i forgot, but those videos are 10 psi not 12.

Re: Dad's first taste of boost
 

did you daily drive that car?

Re: Dad's first taste of boost
 

yeah but i didn't daily rape it. i usually would shift around 4k.

Re: Dad's first taste of boost
 

my dad ended up punching me in the side of the head the first time I showed him what 20psi did to a 2.3T.

Re: Dad's first taste of boost
 

didn't it suck driving everyday with out a dash or inerior

Re: Dad's first taste of boost
 

i heard he dick punched your rectum when you refused to clean your room

Re: Dad's first taste of boost
 

no man it was great.
i can't describe how much fun it was to drive that car. from home to work or from san diego to vegas. that car was a blast to drive.
it takes a little getting used to, but after that it feels normal.

sometimes the glare on the windshield from the glossy white "dash" got annoying. i almost painted it primer black so it wouldn't glare as much.

only problem was all the ricers in so cal would want to race me all the time.

Re: Dad's first taste of boost
 

no he did that because they both enjoy it

Re: Dad's first taste of boost
 

do you think it made a difference in speed at all

Re: Dad's first taste of boost
 

my crx weighed 1800 lbs with a full tank of gas.
that is with the turbo dohc zc

my friend with full interior b16 crx weighed 2200 lbs
that's 400lbs yeah i think 400 lbs makes a difference.
using a 1/4 mile time calculator with my specs put in
using an estimate for hp cause it has not been dyno'd yet.
1800lbs 200hp at the wheels = 12.11
2200lbs 200hp at the wheels = 12.95

that's a pretty big difference.
i know it's not accurate, but close enough.

and there is alot more weight that can be removed from my old crx too.

Re: Dad's first taste of boost
 

damn i did not realize all that ---- weighed so much.... that maybe a future project for me to do

Re: Dad's first taste of boost
 

What year and model of crx was his, and yours?

Re: Dad's first taste of boost
 

well i didn't just gut all the stuff you normally think of. i took out all the small stuff too.
and i had a carbonfiber hood. a cheap one that weighed about 5lbs with hood pins on it.

i took out the hood latch, windshield washer stuff, all emission stuff, a bunch of little things i can't think of right now.
the next thing i was gonna do is get rid of all the electrical wires i didn't need. i've heard that there is a good 15lbs of wires you don't need.

no one believed me that all that ---- weighted that much so i had my friend (b16 crx) go get his car weighted and i didn't think it was gonna be 400lbs heavier. i though he might have been in the car when they weighed it...

other people like to talk ---- about it being dangerous. they said that not having a dash would be bad in an accident. i had racing seats in it so no one is gonna be hitting the fire wall or anything like that.

Re: Dad's first taste of boost
 

we both had 90 hf crxs
and if you are gonna pull up the stock weight of crxs to try to call bs on me then i'll try to find the pic i took of his weight slip.

Re: Dad's first taste of boost
 

that pretty good!!!!

Re: Dad's first taste of boost
 

my dads car is faster than mine so yeah

Re: Dad's first taste of boost
 

lol haha that shits so funny. i cant wait to do the same ----.

Re: Dad's first taste of boost
 

Yeah he would have a faster car you racist bastard.

Your a ------- ------- for taking a picture of me and not saying hello. You paparazzi redneck.

Re: Dad's first taste of boost
 

pics or it didn't happen

Re: Dad's first taste of boost
 

I showed my dad my B16 10psi open down pipe. 30-120mph. All he said is "don't kill yourself and watch out for police O0"
