Hey i have a 96 civic DX coupe. I used my friends Gtech a few nights ago and i ran a 17.79 it said. I dont know wtf is up that is an awful time. My freind said that i was prob pullin like 2.8 60 footers cuz my whells were hopping like crazy. What can i do to help the launch and is there anything else that may be wrong? please help that is alot slower than i had anticipated. My car has 16" enkeis on low pros It has msd distributor caps msd blaster coils. Iceman CAI, Thermal Stealth Cat Back Exhaust, and a b&m fpr, i have a wings west aggresor front bumper and two 12" subs in box in the trunk no rear seat and no spare tire plus another 200lb kid in the car.

 

sounds right about perfect

 

And why are you surprised about your time?

 

i am surprised that it ran so shitty stock its supposed to run a 16.8 wtf is it one second slower with some mods also how should i launch? to get better 60 footers

 

Well since GTECH doesn't measure 60' your really going to have a hard time telling now aren't you?

 

Buy a new car!

 

Plus...it's GTECH...it's not dead on accurate.

 

i highly doubt you will break 17s with your dx...

....oh yea gtech can kiss my big ***...i hate that thing

 

17.79? im glad i got me an Si! but maybe take the subs out and see if its better

16.8 stock
+
0.2 for 200lbs passenger
0.3 for 16" wheels
0.1 for misc speakers and other bullshit
0.3 for 60' times
= ~17.7 1/4 mile times. Not a suprise to me.

 

15.9 87.74mph need to work on r/t and get better tires 94gsr4door

 

take a ride in a fast car you'll realize how slow civics really are. when i took the turbo off, then put it back on it was like my car was reborn again.

 

Reaction time has nothing to do with 1/4 time. It's your 60ft you need to be looking at.

 

take it to a real track..u should do fine

 

wowza!!! how did you get those times out of a DX?

j/k...but yea, i wouldn't be too stunned considering all the crap you had in a car that has as better chance of dyno'ing more torque than hp

 

Man you are so ******* right. I have built 22 in hatch and i occasionally take my friends stock d16 man its like your hammering the pedal to get the shitiest response. It soo wack. Im telling you if you want some real power. Get a motor. b20 h22a b18s are alwys nice tooo b16 are garbage

 

94allmotor4dr: yopu rana 15.9 with that setup? damn...that sux.
you should be runnig way better times than that!

 

dude....why are you trying to race a DX civic coupe with a STOCK motor...you'll never see good times with your car with that motor.
go GS-R or H22...**** even a b18b would be better than stock...

 

wow i would have tought that the wings west aggresor front bumper would have put you into the 12s

 

lol

 

get Nitrous, a 40 shot leave your timing at stock, get a fuel filter and a good oil change, replace the plugs run some premium and enjoy the ride, I keep up with a gsr swap, but it wont last forever,
or find a vtec head and do the mini me!
it will kick you in the seat of your pamts!

 

im not sure that either will "kick"you in your pants..

but I would say NO2 would pretty much be ur only viable option to do it cheaply. Otherwise u'll spend TONS on boltons just to keep up with stock EX's, maybe MAYBE si coupes depending on how many boltons u have.

Non modified DX, ton of weight, slow times... What's the real question??

 

lol

 

hey adub why do u say **** like that whats the point? did i once mention that since i got a front bumper i should be faster or whatever. I by no means am at all like that i dont have any stickers on my car nothing like that. Also yes i believe in looks and system before performance and if some of you disagree thats fine it doesnt bother me its my personal choice. I was just lookin for some advice thanks.
