Well...... I miss so much when I go on vacation.

Ummm, what to say....

Well, I'll believe the Hp vs. 1/4 mile times numbers given, though I can't say I believe this articular car. I've seen similar cars run reasonably similar times with close hps. So I don't really expect it to go much faster. After all it is a FWD car.....

UNREAL
As for you sig.....
I don't know. Wasn't me. Maybe you should make sure it's still hosted wherever you put it. Unless you got a PM from a mod I doubt it was removed on you. That being said, I DID tell you that sig was remarkably large well over a week ago. It's not like it was close enough that someone may not notice. It was as obvious as you could make it. So if you didn't resize it then I'm not sorry for ya. You obviously have PS to reize it with, since you told me that you made it yourself......

Speaking of which....
You can't seem to get pics up on the web of your car. You claimed you didn't have a way to host them. Didn't you send me a link to your Halo Clan's website??? Surely if you have a website like that up, you must have some server capabilities. Or is that BS as well?

Anyway, I'm gonna leave this thread open for a few hours. If anyone can get it back on track or feels like trying to debunk my claim that a 500hp CRX would be in the 10 second range then maybe it can survive. Otherwise there's really no point. We don't need more BS in this thread. It's plenty deep already.

With the mods he listed originally he is more then capable of the numbers he listed. They are actually VERY reasonable numbers that are similar to those of several other cars with relatively similar mods. Both the HP numbers and claimed 1/4 times are consistant with others that have comparable mods.

While Civics may not be purposely built to be highly moddable, but with the interchangibility of many engine components from one engine to the next they make it very easy to create a solid base for almost any kind of route you want to go with your car.

As for the WRX and Subie. Well, don't know. Frankly I think the WRX is a great example of an under achieving car in it's stock form. With it's listed HP numbers and claims that were made when it was first released it was expected to be faster then it is and it simply does not live up to it. I'm not a bigt WRX fan. I'd rather have the A4, or failing that an EVO.

(if you could find one) before I'd go for a late model Honda. All of which are better performance platforms than a CRX IMO.

Regardless of the WRX/A4 argument...

yeah I recently decided to start a "project car" that I can do crazy stuff to and not worry about having it undrivable for a week or two. Those were some of the cars I started looking at. After looking at the prices of them I was completely baffled as to why people would buy some Honda or Acura for modding when they could have something much faster / cooler / less popular.

It's definitely time for me to get something else.

Not if you want a vehicle that is at-least semi-fuel efficient. I just caluculated how much gas my N/A Second Generation RX-7 goes through and I can't believe it.

Yeah, at this point I am looking at a couple of different options. Neither of them would be my first choice but cost is of the essence here. I'm looking for something that will give me the best of both worlds (power when I want it and fuel efficiency when I don't). A 4 banger with a big turbo seems to be the answer. It certainly won't get 30MPG but if I keep the RPMs low I should be able to still get 18-20MPG, which is at least 5MPG better than my RX-7.

you might be surprized... generally improving the performance of an engine improves it efficiency as well... i had this article on a mkIV supra that had some rediculous amount of power (like 500-600+ whp) AND the thing was an automatic and the guy still got 30 mpg if he didnt honk on it driving around town.

twistedsymphony · « **Reply #89 on:** January 06, 2005, 10:35:00 AM »

I've also seen dyno graphs (in that mag) of a Mach IVs with close to 1300 and no nitrous

It always boggles my mind how much pressure that supra motor can hold.

lots of great examples in that mag:
365hp Silvia http://turbomagazine...0107tur_cooker/
980hp Supra http://turbomagazine...03tur_980supra/
740hp WRX http://turbomagazine...s/0301tur_ej20/
949hp Supra http://turbomagazine.../0212tur_titan/
375hp WRX http://turbomagazine...es/0209tur_wrx/

A real civic http://turbomagazine.../0208tur_hocus/
though still "Its best time to date is 11.20 at 118 mph"
