They are torqueless pieces of crap thats why. Powerless too

 

My hatch runs mid 14's. Not exactly slow, but not exactly quick either.

I have a friend that is knocking on the 12 second door N/A (13.0 to be exact).

I have acquiantances that are in the 12's and the 11's.

All with EF's.

Still think they're all slow?

 

yeah, because they spent a million dollars to do it.

depends on you definition of slow; either in straight line, top speed, acceleration, through turns, yadda yadda yadda...mines is in the 14's (or at least it used to be) for 1/4 et's, and i wish i could run at a real track....anyway, i like what my car does for me

 

just about every ef is slow, unless they are swapped or turboed. I know a bunch of guys with ef's that are fast, they're swapped.

Hehehe

 

When I'm done with the heart transplant, mine will be low 13's/high 12's.

I'm coming in under $10,000, and thats counting 93 eg, b-16 swap, jrsc,all basic bolt ons and fuel system upgrades and my new 91 crx si shell.

me 2

 

Note to you guys. He came here to bug you....

 

i smoke 60 thousand dollar cars all the time ... hmm let's think about this...
88 crx hf = 1600
b18c1 = 2700
headwork = 500
cams = 1000

the face on a corvette owner when i pass him = priceless

well our cars werent meant to be fast.. but when a front wheel drive inline 4 keeps up with a rear wheel drive v8 i think that's pretty impressive...

 

if y car isint fas when im done, im gonna shoot myself.

 

Imagine the price of hatches if they had been fast from the factory. Used hatches would be like 3 to 5 thousand and we couldn't afford to mod them. Its nice owning a car that cost little to operate and maintain and still is quick enough to make the drive enjoyable, and its also nice to know I can mod it as I feel and its potential is only hampered by my lack of cash not options.

 

im not swapped and im not slow

Why do all NOOBS, post stupid topics.

 

crx w/b18a - 2000$, -250$ for the extra set of wheels that came with it that i sold

14.7's on street tires w/ 2.1 60'

so 1,750$ i have a mid-high 14 sec car

not too bad in my mind....

OT a little, but I was just reading a book about mid-level muscle cars of the '70's.
Not the suprer-fast wild big blocks but the small block, mid-level power engined cars. And they did mid to low 14's, with big torque american V8's. In those overweight, bad handling, bad braking cars, with NO fuel emiisions.
So I don't think civics and CRX's are all that bad considering what they are and how little they cost.
Just my .02 cents.

 

Wouldn't it take all the fun away if they weren't slow to begin with?

I think the challenge of making a small slow economy car fast is half the fun of it!

The other half is driving!

I always have loved the EF body because it feels like a go-kart to me

 

.....sometimes I wish mine was slow again. I could've saved some $.....

But then I drive it.....!

 

My POS CR-X =$1,000
Stock D16A6 =Free (came in the car)
Turbo Setup =$1,500
Extra running longblock =$50 (just gotta know the right people)
WHP @ 8lbs =170-180
CR-X weight =2100lbs

Add all that up and invest some time in research, and you have a low 14 or high 13 second car for about $3,000

Mine cost me about 7000 CDN. Hardly a million dollars.
