\fixt. Don't be too worried about it though, must of us (excluding Travis) have been skull f*cked by a fast civic before. It happens, but for every one civic that pulls you like that, there are about 150 more that you can return the favor to.
should of followed him and asked him how much his setup costs... bet it was at least 10K...
I can respect any fast car if it's done tastefully and well done! Honda or not!
I bet it wasn't even close to that. Quick turbo Civics can be built for under a grand. My cousin is in the process of turboing his Civic and has almost everything he needs and hasn't even touched $1000.
some cheap turbo kit wont do what this guy described... I had a length on a turbo b18 in HS with a 3.4 setup...
I dont "race" very often and that was my first loss. I really just couldnt believe how fast it was. To whoever said this civic was gay, It was actually awesome. would have been a complete sleeper without the tuck and massive fmhe.
You beat a driver or a piss poor tuned car. A turbo B18 swap is easy low 12's. Hell buddy of mine was running 13's on his NA B18 swapped hatch.

Yeah, I lost to a Civic, once. Kid baited me hardcore. I pulled him at first, then at 130 mph he blew past me like I was standing still.
Haven't seen that car since, but it was scary fast.
