I'd take it, then take that useless FMIC off...

Boost Lee · Mar 3, 2004

That's a good looking hatch.. It also look's like he took took the cage out of a Mini. :lol:

why is a FMIC useless???, on a high performance turbocharged car?

With only 1.8L of displacement, an IC that big is a waste. I can't even begin to imagine the pressure drop across that monster.

Boost Lee · Mar 3, 2004

It could be a really efficient core. The piping isn't that long either..

Jay · Mar 3, 2004

exactly, dont forget the car is producing alot of power (480whp for a little 1.8) which means a damn **** load of air flow. im not saying it needs to be that big, but in your other post it sounded like (to me anyway) you thought FMIC's where a waste of time

I'll give you that, and yes - I meant not one that large.

Jay · Mar 3, 2004

yeah, i think the size of the IC on that car has more to do with looks

Carl. · Mar 3, 2004

Get off those cheesy stickers, bodykits and wings...

This one looks stock, innocent, and does 10.6s runs.... how fun to drive around?

just love sleepers!!

It is too big, looks like it's sized for a Supra or a GT-R...

Glad to see Francis got rid of the Altezzas that were on the car 2 years ago... and glad to see it's still insanely fast!

AltF8 · Mar 3, 2004

Glad someone agrees.

All the way from Hawaii... I'm not liking the cf hatch, or the way he destroyed the C-West front bumper, but it's pretty fast.

Artsy 4mb video with most of the specs, and a cool tachometer shot at the end.

wow nicezzz :drool:

one thing though! what does the number on the right of the tach mean cos it seems to go a bit mental when he accelerates (its not the revometer unless he has a digital and an analogue one as well :confused:

) and the number i think hits 100 and something so it surely cant be the speedometer! only thing i can think of is a digital boost gauge!?!?!

someone please clear this up for me!

plzzzz

Speaking of the 4-door civic? (Owner's name is Francis ) if so, never seen it with other wheels, but in this case stock look is better IMO... I'd love to see the face of a brand new ferrari driver while I pass him with a 10 year old economy sedan :trouble:

Here is another one from Germany, but modified in Canada...
(Just remove the side graphics and it's about perfect!)

550hp AWD beast... almost all upgrades are genuine vw/audi parts 0-100 in 3.2s

HPA R32 Stage II Quarter Mile Run

toyomatt84 · Mar 3, 2004

That's one hella-fast R32 Golf.

You mean after your car finally hooks up in 5th gear and he's long gone?

Carl. · Mar 3, 2004

emm... would you mind to have a look at the picture I've posted above?? ...maybe the Ferrari driver did'nt find 5th gear? :confused:

Boost Lee · Mar 3, 2004

That's on a drag strip with drag tires.

I guess you haven't seen too many big power fwd cars on the street. :lol:

http://teamrice.prohosting.com/brandonf.wmv - Yep, lots of traction there..

SR20DET · Mar 3, 2004

i don't know why i can't play those files....
i get the " Cannot play back the file. The format is not supported."
:confused:

well here...
pick one

That's on a drag strip with drag tires.

when did i said that was on a racetrack? even with slicks, a stock 360 wouldn't run a quarter mile in 10s, so I find it damn funny that a 4 doors civic, slicks or not, is able to beat Enzo or McLaren F1 times...

That said I'd rather own a ferrari than a souped-up ricer, would be more fun on a racetrack than just be able to floor it down on a straight line, but being able to kill an expensive exotic sports car in a old stock looking civic and have a look at the driver's face must be a lot of fun too...

and btw the R32 I've posted after that does it without slicks, and i'd love to take it on a racetrack...

You didn't have to say it was on a drag strip, the RETAINING WALL on the left side of the Civic tells me it's a drag strip.

And big deal, a shi* box family car with a ton of power and slicks can beat a Ferrari in the quater mile. Welcome to 20 years ago.

My point was, that civic is a helpless turd on the street. Even on the strip it's going to be a turd unless it has gumballs and a good driver. Keep reading Super Street jr. 👎

A lot nicer :drool:

Props to ExVitermini for the pic

Carl. · Mar 3, 2004

Well mr. Monster7...

you saw it's a drag strip?...

damn... well didn't see this...

I know it's a drag strip Mr. Obvious... I was saying it's not a racing track where you're doing LAPS

Anyway, I apologize for believing this is a cool car... yeah, you're absolutely right... no bodykit, no wing, no fancy colors, no black hood, not any scoops added, and no stickers... how insipid it is...

Thank you for teaching me what does matter in a cool import car

sleepers are bad.... mkay? :odd:

I fully deserved some bashing here... thanks!

SR20DET · Mar 3, 2004

let's carry on the Import Section shall we?

XzifT · Mar 3, 2004

90% of wings, bodykits, 'black hoods', scoops and whatever else you mentioned is rice.
