i just wish i could mod my fto to be 4wd and turbo it lol

its called an evo engine

it would still be front wheel drive when you put an evo engine in it... you would have to change the drive train which is more $$$, $$$ that im pretty sure most of us dont have...

i got killed by a integra type r... but then it got pulled over on parramatta road... im driving tiptronic by the way... probably wouldve been different story if i was manual aswell

i beat a honda integra gsi and it was manual but thats probably because its 100kW at the flywheel ahaha and no VTEC YO!!!!!

and thats the only honda encounters ive had

Simon,

yeah Marcs DC2S used to be gold.....now its baremetal hahahah....maybe primed already!!

head to head aye?>....hmmm, thats intresting to hear...what else has he done to his motor?...

guys guys guys....

ive got a manual GPX, with one mod..... and i ve beaten up them DC5's, but when im head to head with a DC2 i cant win... whys is that? and i hear u guys have been beating DC2's...

ROFLLLLLL

i looked at getting a crx (same eng as vti-r) and frankly... there sh*t for more then looks... no LSD no toruqe slow as hell acel Civic gear boxes....

tellem red stickes dont add 50 HP a meter and neons dont make you float

i hate the rear of the Crx.. ugly ugly rear

Well I actually own a CRX 91 Sir Manual and FTO GPX tip once. .
CRX Kill FTO on a drag by half car length.

Well it is a true fact .
Only a exhaust and filter mod done to CRX.

FTO - Exhaust K&N filter


I sell my CRX 2 years ago.. ( they dont look good any more )
hahahahh
FTO still look pretty cool!~

that's why i said it's a big diff from tip to manual FTO

and that's why i said i wish i could make my FTO 4WD, drive train lol way over the limit for me, i actually ask around already but some mechanic said they can't do it on FTO, other cars yes

where there's a will (and nice piece of blank cheque), anything is possible...

after witnessing an EG Civic dishing out a sickening can of whoop-ass on WRXs / Soarers / old-school rotors (let alone FTOs) at Wakefield Park few months ago, I have made an oath never to make anymore Honda jokes...

there is sooo much things you can do to a Civic, you never what what you're up against on the streets these days...

Was the EG Civic N/A or force feed?

the Civic was N/A and it must've been screaming past 9000rpm on the main straight - deadset, it sounded like an angry pack of bees in a Milo can LoL...

i suspect it would been running a worked JDM B18B motor in it or something... ask Steve / David / Tanya - it flew past us in Robb's car at the main straight! (and boy what a strange experience that was... )

hahah.. wow.
Next it'll be some ulgy Datsun van with Nos.. ahha.
* shrugs *

ummm yeahg just to clarify that...

its a civic with an integra motor...

compression was raised to about 11:1 and about 10-15k was spent on the engine...

crx's are nice little beasts!

i'll make you find out the hard way.. hahahahhaha

unless it was a GS FTO, inexperienced driver, or more people in the car, i believe there shouldn't be any problems with civic

my cousin drives an auto GLI civic and he takes pride in red-light GP
he reckons he can kill my fto, but I just never prove it to him for his own sake

but you can look at those specs alone and think that one car is faster than another.

IF you have one engine that produces 200KW but only between 7-8k, and nothing below that rpm, an engine with 170KW that produces peak power much earlier would be the engine to have. Specs is one thing, but its powerband is very important also.

Then you have to take into consideration, gear ratios, diff ratio etc.

payaya is absolutely right - and is relevant to the similar post about the FTO vs RX8 argument too. I have ridden around in one of them a couple of times, and unless he was REALLY on it, it was sluggish. I know that this is an argument also used on FTO's, but compared to the RX8 the MIVEC powerplant it is quite a bit more useful IMO.

You have to have useable power and torque down low otherwise you opponent has driven away from you before you are making useful numbers.

i still hate ppls say VTEC YO!!!!! kills MIVEC
