Default The tC non-turbo'd...

Is SOOOO SLOW! Not even kidding. I took my Dezod kit off and it's just freaking slow. Sometimes I think I still have it and have the urge to boost and I try to boost and nothing happens.

It really sucks, but the reason I took it off is because I am selling it to buy an Evo IX.

But, I'll still be around.

why would you post this here? and not in the tc lounge or something? this is a useless thread. the tc is slow compared to boost. but its not slow as compared to there comptitors in my opinion not the best nor the worse.

Well, this is basically the only place I post and it IS related to forced induction. MightyGnu did the same thing.

ah hell dude... I can only imagine the disappointment of going from boosted to N/A .... I remember on my other tC when I went from full header back race exhaust to stock.... I wanted to cry lmao.... and that was only maybe a 15whp difference.

but on my new 08... no limits ... I've never driven it stock. had all my racing mods put on my 08 tC before I even took delivery of her :D

dont be too sad on that one my fellow tC brother.... relish in this thought... the only way you can get a civic to run worth a sh*t is to boost it.....
here's a personal quote of mine.... "Racing with a Honda is kind of like being in the Special Olympics..... even if you win.... you're still a retard" .... no offense to anyone on the "retard" comment. so no flaming please... just dancing on the ashes of POS Honda peeps..... ok....well unless you personally own one of the later years of the Acura NSX...

You should try driving an automatic tC. I drove my sisters right after I put my turbo on and I felt sorry for everyone who had an auto tC, especially the ones who actually did stuff to it.

And don't get an MR. The 6-speed transmission is as ____ty as the GTR transmission. Get the 5-speed.

My wife's '07 tC is an automatic... There is a hell of a difference, but it was faster than my '06 stock. Just can't shift faster than an auto. After boosting my tC, she doesn't say anything about her tC being faster... lol
