Default this sucks

god im slowy and slowy realizing, as much as I love my 03 civic it sucks and it will never be as fast as I want it to be. The forums on the other cars especially the 92-00 and the integras are jammed packed.

oh well. This car manual transmission actually beats most all those cars stock off the line, hell I smoked the hell out of a manual rsx, and mr2.

what do you guys think about nitrous?

#1) U may have smoke an auto base RSX, and a old N/A mr2, but that isnt anything special

#2) nitrous is fine, but u MUST go wet, as our cars dont have return fuel. Therefore can only compensate for the lack of fuel when nitrous is engauged by a wet system.

I Highly reccomend a ZEX kit to its numerous safey features.

my friend uses a 125 dry shot of zex on his 94 camry xle, he's smoked anything and everything I could possibly think of, from a new nismo g35 to a nismo 350z, to a stock s2000 (with a bad driver imo) to a turbo b16 motor, to an accord with h22 motorswap that sounded like *****,

my bud gave me a 3 car head start like they do in pinks and i still got smoked, i didnt launch correctly and i shifted poorly but you get an idea.



and this is the beast

Typical ricer....

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by Dude with teh Camry &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">well to start with, its a v6 and comes stock with 188hp. i added an intake, full exhaust, ecu, custom camshaft and 125 shot of zex nitrous. if you listen closely, after about 3 secs, you can hear the difference in the speed of the uprising of my rpm's...thats after i hit the nos. lol</TD></TR></TABLE>

I am still not impressed...

Saying "NOS" when you use Zex... shows he doesn't know what he is talking about.

125 shot of N2O on a car with a V6, and still only getting a claimed 330 horsepower... still not impressed...

Come back when he is hanging with cars that come with more power for racing in a straight line, or race on a road course with a car with purpose built suspension. THEN, I will be impressed.

any1 can put anything on the bottle.


Look at honda tuning from a while back, they RENTED an Accord for a day, bottled it, beat it up, and returned it.

and i agree with pretty much everything Kevin said:p

yea all of my friends cars are faster than myne ina straight line.. but when we go to roads where its cornering at around 80 mph. they cant hang. there bouncing off the road with there slammed integras and hatches on shitty coilovers.

if u want a fast 1/4 mile car. u got the wrong one.
if u want a car that has great potential to be a road coarse. u got the right one.

well a year ago my brothers s2000 stock still whooped the hell out of my cornerings and I lowered it and put sway bars in. He took a hairpin almost 15 miles faster than me, and he took a clover off ramp about 25 miles faster than me

You have to think though... those are purpose built, rail cornering cars.

STOCK, they can do ALOT better than a modified EM2... lower center of gravity keeps an IMPORTANT key here, as well as near perfect 50/50 weight distribution, RWD, and a fully independent suspension.

It is a formitable task to get an EM2 to out-handle an S2000.
