Default For all of you who replied to "B18C1"

I don't know where that whole running ten's thing came in, but I would like to set the record straight by saying not once was I the one that said I ran ten's....200 wheel horsepower only equates to about a 13.3

DragII: Eh sorry I frequent other boards more than this one....I had no Idea that there were members on this board that turn a post meant to help someone actaully see that what he wants to do is possible, instead of just being told, into what that post became. And never have I seen so many people down other members. Maybe that is why the import scene is going to crap..so the engine bay has overspray...I didn't pay for the paint job the body shop hooked me up very nicely with a paint job during the repairs after I was hit by another driver running a red light.

feel free to lock this once you come across it...I just needed to set something straight

It wasn't your fault, but it got way to off topic to let it go.

You are a good man by posting to get things straight. I like people like you who try to set the record straight even after the fact.

KiwiGreenHYBRID: I know know how you feel.... remember when I mentioned about the DOHC on a D-series block? You were the only one man enough to apologize so I give you props for that. Dont let all the haters get to you.. I sure as hell didnt let it get to me.

No I see what you mean...I guess I miss worded that or wasn't completely clear in what I was trying to say....what I meant is my car has ran a best of 13.3 so far, just trying to point out that 200hp comes nowhere near 10's

Kawi, Im just coming on the tail end of things, BUT. To make a conclusion that 200whp equates to 13.3. You have to take in consideration the weight of the car, gearing, and of course exterior conditions. My car has 145 engine HP and ran a best of 14.67@96. Does this Engine HP equate to a 14.67?
Too many factors to determine that...vehicle weight, and Driver skill be the most important.

kiwi: hey i didnt know that i am going to create such a fuss when i busted out "you must be running 10's"..if i knew people were gonna react to it then i shouldve just kept my mouth shut. but, in reality is, i thought that the lnatural crx puts out about 250 to the wheels and runs mid to high 10's, that a car that has 200 whp could easily reach the low 11 or even bust some really high 10's???? i guess i didnt put in perspective the other factors that makes a car run in the 10's . no beef here

hey drag you need to post up the pic of the retarded kid...i think it says " arguing in the internet is like running in the special olympics" "even if you win you're still retarded"... i think that pic is good for this post.

Hey this is for pagong and FormNFunctionEK...hey guys thanx for coming on here and clarifying also....FormNfunction...the way you worded your comment about the fade to white did really look like just a joke but following everyone elses bashing I questioned it but no big deal.

pagong...now I understand the comment but remember Lnatural is a stripped down acid dipped CRX....my poor car still weighs over 2,000lbs, but Yes I do believe I can drop that time that was the cars first run at the track with that motor....but I doubt I can get a daily driven full interior coupe below 13.0 consistantly with that HP...but who knows..

But like I said thanx to all of you who replied and cleared this all up...no hard feelings to those of you who weren't hatin....oh and someday I will get around to pulling the motor and actually getting the engine bay painted...but I am lazy and that is my only car so down time is a big factor...peace.

Kawi, although I wasn't in on the B18C1 postings, after reading this my respect for you has gone . People like you are cool.

Yeah the post got locked before I could get to that:

The motor is pretty much fully built using high compression pistons and CTR bump sticks, head was fully messaged, V-AFC, still retained the stock intake manifold, and the SS DC's are getting replaced with JDM 4-1's soon, and a lot of fine tuning on the dyno put out just under 200hp to the wheels and just over 130ft/lbs torque is hard to gain without FI
