yeah there's been a few nights where the V8 boys start laughing at the kid with a 4dr 4th gen civic, with slicks and on the "fast lane". Then he goes and runs a low 11 second pass and people start dropping their beers and ----.

it's incredible what can be done to a little engine. No doubt they are capable of great things, but some people prefer other things.

i walked a sti at 140, the gearing on sti's just dont have the topend I like but it's a great car. the sti was neck and neck with me until we reached 135-140, i suspect the gearing to be the decidiing factor on that race.

Yeah I wasn't knocking ---- until the ---- started knocking me. Anyway, I wasn't claiming that my car is unbeatable, I mean c'mon 310awhp is not that much, it's faster than most production cars, but we all know dough+time=speed. I'm sure there are hondas here who can beat my car. I like my car bc it's rare, very exotic looking, and of course can be made fast as hell for a street car. Vr4's are currently in the 10's not 6's or 7's like some Honda's, but almost every vr4/ttstealth you see will have full interiors, and not be gutted. It's a great street/highway car.

Anyway, I came here to hear about OTHER cars so lets see some fast ass hondas fellas.

BTW Im from Alabama, living in Louisiana

Re: VR4 owner new to the boards
 

Haha, oh the good old 3000gt's. I remember a local in a stealth tt got butthurt when josh lit his tits up on the highway last summer. His words were something like, "------- idiot, I wasn't even racing. Doesnt he know that my car is TWIN TURBO? God, he has an integra- like it's not even in the same class." I like those cars a lot though, its just funny how cocky some people can get. Welcome to the site, can't wait to see that bitch hit 500awhp :6

Speaking of 3si. I'm friend's with ROBVR4 and aquantances with the now infamous SKVR4. (big drama over @ 3si). Welcome to HMT>

Re: VR4 owner new to the boards
 

preciate it fellas, maybe you guys aren't so bad after all. ;D z24, describe the run against the stealth for me if you could. I'm not doubting you, a lighter car with close to or more horsepower would be able to beat the vr4/stealth in a certain power band (if it has alot more horsepower, well then, it's a murder). Vr4 is great from a stop and then great from a high-speed roll bc they have tall ass gears. Stock they are limited to 150 something (1st gen, 2nd to like 160 something), of course with upgraded turbos and the fuel to support it, these are 10-11 sec cars that go 170 to 180 (gearing is limited on 1st gen to 205, snd gen 230, you have to have the hp to overcome the wind-resistance to achieve that high of speed. Another thing, if the tt is not healthy or the boost is low (8:1 comp stock motor, ready for high-boost, engines can hold 30ish psi :o, my car runs at 14.5 psi highest setting, stock boost setting is 9psi 1st gen, 11psi sec gen (with a little nipple taken out of boost soleniod then 1st gen has same boost as 2nd gen).

Of course, a real man and racer would admit when he's been beaten, so people will take him seriously, bc if you have no honor for the truth, then you can have no respect from your peers. I hate all excuses except my car is broken. If your car breaks while racing, other man wins, but it's not a true kill if car dies before results are in. IMHO. ;D

hey, I am from clanton and I know rob and skvr4! Where do you live, in Bama, I posted about skvr4 in the big drama post. He built my engine, my car is fine, but he fucked rob pretty good, which rob and sk know how i feel. If a man pays you to do a job, you do it until its right. SK is cool he just made some bad biz decisions and will be back.send me a pm

Re: VR4 owner new to the boards
 

Definately a lot of potential, the main problem, which all car brands have in one way or another, are the kids that say thing like, yeah your Honda has a turbo, but my 3000gt has twin turbos, so I'm faster than you. Just like those that say I have 4 more cylinders so my car is better.....

I like anything fast, and do not associate myself with a specific brand. Honda in my opinion have the most aftermarket support, so most people go with them, but it's not the only thing out there.

On my car, before upgrading the turbo, I went and estimated 155mph, the manual WRX has no speed limiter, its gear limited to around 165, but the speedometer only goes to 145. In my run it went back to zero. I was running a guy that thought he was fast on an Audi A4 I think, the 1.8 turbo. He quit at around 110 car lenghts behind me, I wanted to prove a point.
