ok my friend has a 95 accord(4 dooor)4cyn. lx automatic 130hpstock and my other friend has a 99 hb civic 1.6 106hp stick they raced ok, they civic took off at the start but when they hit about 55-60 the accord started to catch up and about 85-90 the acoord was gone so why did they make the 99hb so slow? (the hb had exhaust tip and and a autozone intake) did the hb have a chance? thanks

 

was the civic hatch an auto???

 

it was a 5 speed

 

LMAO!

106 HP manual Civic? Yeah that sounds about right I'd expect the torquey Accord and long ratios would pull in the top end.
I don't know why such a fuss is made about HP. I've been comparing a few racecar dyno charts and after the race results it really seems that most of the time, torque is more important than HP, even better is midrange and high torque, which is how most all Hondas are.

 

Stick around for a couple of months. You will know why I said that.

 

I can't belive no one found the exhaust tips part to be as amusing as I did.

 

i did, i wondered why it was listed? its just extra wieght and the autozone intake? what is that APC crap? you might as well of used dryer tube.

its kind of the tip and the muffler part but i did not think it made a difference

 

well the civic lacks torque, in that situation, could be driver error too...but who knows

 

i thought that it was the right combination of both that made for a good overall car!

 

actually, a civic dx hatch runs 18's in the 1/4

so it makes sense to me

sammiches...the natural pain killer

 

I believe you mean APC, Anyways IMO intake is intake a metal tube w/a cone filter on the end of it, My $45 APC intake works just the same as my friends $75 AEM intake, He just paid an extra $30 for the AEM sticker.

 

i'm sure all APC intakes are dyno tuned too huh?

 

Did I say that? I'm just trying to say you don't always have to go name brand to get results, but I guess this is the wrong board to try and prove that point on

 

Not neccesarily.

 

You're right, didn't mean to slap a stereotype on the whole board b/c one person

 

you can prove all you want....but prove = dyno charts...and I highly doubt your gonna supply them...so maybe you should head on back to SHO

 

Easy, easy. That wasnt absolutely called for...yet.
