D16Y7-T

I was just reading in the 1/4 mile times area and I saw this:

"completly stock 90 civic hatch, full tank of gas, going clutch, two clicking half-shafts, street tires, and unbalanced rims yet still able to pull a 16.80 at around 88-90mph "

I was thinking to myfelf there is no way!...is there? Unless it is an Si right?

i dunno, kill yourself.

hey at least we know he's reading and hopefully will do the same for the FAQ


And about that time, I think it's possible. I think my ex-hatch with a d16a6 stock would have been able to pull a 16 1/4mile... maybe even 15.99 :P

Very helpful, thank you. Your expertise is mind blowing. Please proceed to the closest cliff and jump.

I thought that setup was good for low 16's maybe high 15's. So losing acceleration due to clutch would account for the slower time but fairly normal trap.

D16Y7-T

Really? Thats an Si right? Because the normal hatch "supposed to run" like 19.3 or something silly. And yes I am reading, I know quite a bit I am not new to cars just because I am new here it just didnt make sense to me.

AgentMurdoc

well it was the single cam si motor, in a base chassis.

if it was an SI motor then yes its possibe. when I had my Green hatch i ran it stock with 1/4 tank of gas and bone stock it ran 16.4 on street tires. So yes its possible

D16Y7-T

Ok well that would make a little more sense, but he just didnt clarify, the stock Si from then is supposed to run like 16.3...so with a decent driver I can see a 16. My car stock is supposed to run 17.4 and I ran a 17.1 with a blown O2 sensor and crap tires.
