yes. im thinkin bout just startin over with a fully modified integra type r and making it faster. my non hybrid type r is still faster than my civic.

 

[GT-40/787b]

that always works

 

[Frustrated Palm]

Heh, good work so far 👍. Im still working on my Garage Five Integra Drag Car (like the one in real life). Im only working out some kinks here in there. I also have a 630 hp Integra that runs high 11's...

i gave up. i run 12.8's in 1st gear. frustrated i see ur from va beach. ever go to dragva.com? if so my username there is intence

 

[exhaust_note]

use the H22 from the Accord type-r or use the NSX engine like signal did on there civic drag car...

Use the jag XJ 220's 5 speed - it's good. Also, use the Aston Martin Vanquish's front wheels - they are huge.

 

[Boost Lee]

The Vanquish' wheel's are too big, and too small in diameter.

rofl, i was reading this but yeah... a nsx motor will not fit into a civic in reality.... the mount position are compleatly differnt.. Unless its a custom drag car..

He's building a drag car.... See the name of the thread?

Funnily enough, Alfa Romeo just shoehorned an NSX-sized 3.2 V6 into a Civic-sized Alfa 147.

Funny thing, life.


anthonysinatra - Again, funnily enough, my advice on grip codes is "don't bother"... Spook!

it has been done in real life, and it wasnt a tube frame drag car either. i wish i could find a link for it, the car was in super street mag many months ago. if they can fit a viper engine into a PT cruiser, they can put an NSX engine into a civic....

 

[anthonysinatra]

Famine ahh you scared me, ive only been using v3 and ive had no luck with the grip codes, besides when you set it high my car jumps up and down like a fish outa water.

 

[Frustrated Palm]

The transmission Im using is the Nismo GTR (R32)'s gearbox. It drops revs quickly, ans shifts fast. There is barely any lag time between shifts. In my Civic dragger, I used S2000 front wheels, which fit quite nicely...

Actually, I havent been there. I'll check it out. Where in VA do you live (Im assuming here)?

 

[[myg0t]wicked]

northern va

Ok dammit, you guys got me into building a FWD dragger. I have a Civic SiR that is into the 13.8s. TypeR engine, turbo, basically all the tuning and larger [toyota chaser] front rims/tires.

It looks like a dragger, but now I'm just trying to dial in the settings. Hard spring rates? Any launch tips?

thanks - Rich.

 

[Frustrated Palm]

Launch in 2nd or 3rd gear, that helps...
