0 to 198 mph in 6.91 seconds with only 4 pistons and H pattern, no sequential. If that doesn't impress, you're just a Honda hater. ;)

    So it's not "only" four pistons. That would be good clickbait, you $*&#. lol

    I thought I saw he has one of those vornado things on the bumper for the extra 15HP. good to know those things really work. (Rising Sun owner since 1992)

    ej2seanhai8r.jpg . That's crazy fast.. I have only been up to 147mph in a Chrysler 300 with a computer chip changed out "I was told" on our way to Nogjt Ranger concert 4 years ago. I was in back seat & I was not impressed. Speed scares me....My friend had a Honda Prelude & it was very nice & it was new back then. I bought a Civic 2 door kinda like this in 1983 used & in winter I'd go to the biggest parking lot & put it in reverse & spin around in circles. Made my son laugh & it was fun then. It would only cost 7-8 bucks to fill it. Too bad it rusted out

    I learned to do 180s in one of those tiny early 80s CVCCs, I think. I'm trying to remember the first car I did them in. but you're right, Randy, those little cars were fun! my best friend's hot older sister had one and we'd dog it.

    old news by now, but you guys know where Civic came from right? the CVCC > Civic, and the CVCC meannnnnnnt... ??? :)B)

    Lol...door dash guy after delivering to my house went up the block to turn around as I was pulling into my driveway and pulled up to back in....he was in a hurry

    He honked at me and then revved his engine as I was backing up....well....I put an unopened beer can upside his head as he revved forward towards my truck thru his window.

    I called the cops, my six pack now 5, was unopened, he went to jail for a warrant, and reckless driving as this was captured on my house cams.

    Was not in the mood after a long week and a 10hr drive home.

    You throw enough money at anything it'll go fast. Question is, can you fit a large set of SDA's in the hatch for a road trip?

    Nobody going for world records doesn't break. A lot. Top fuel dragsters rebuild after a quarter mile.

    I enjoy this channel too. Leroy is a Corvette. Silly fast as well. He's got a mean El Camino too. A diesel swapped Ford Galaxy but that one doesn't get videos very often.

    Man, I'd drive Leroy as a daily driver.
    That's a wicked setup. Compact, tight and low.

    That video was shot in the small town of Bithlo, Florida on the Eastern side of Orlando. It had a local reputation as being home to a number of . . . unrefined citizens, shall we say.

    I used to cover Deep Purple's "Woman From Tokyo" with these alternate lyrics:

    My woman from Bithlo,
    She's got no teeth,
    My woman from Bithlo,
    She's twice as big as me.

    He trashed several sets of car audio SRT’s to make the car what it is now... It was a competition audio car before this.


    Ok, I don’t actually know that, but it sounded plausible.

    I just finished adjusting the valve clearances on my 96 Honda Civic EX VTEC 1.6L. This thread has me pretty excited at the potential HP I may have unleashed.....
