Hello.. Here's a clip of my xA (short shifter, CAI, adsjutable coilover) versus my friend's brother Civic (air intake, springs, passenger seat and door panels removed).. this is the my first time doing a drag race and it's raining! scary!

Don't race in the rain...or on the street.

 

prime candidate for a Darwin Award...

 

Uh.... That was pretty Dangerous!! 2 narrow roads wet...... Don't race like that next time!!!

NE-wayz... WTF you lost to that EG hatch???

 

Pull out your seats, your door panels, and master your shifts, and you should be able to beat him, stock for stock, although it would be close. Older DX's posted slightly slower 0-60 and 1/4 mile times. Give him a small budget for mods tho, and you are toast. I've angered quite a few Civics with fart cans. . . although I was beat by a Civic (ONCE) on the highway, and I was doin 130mph (in my Lexus). . . maybe he had an intake

Modded(as in REALLY modded and not ghetto modded), those Civics haul booty.

 

Man, why rip apart your car to make a 17 second car shed a 1/2 second or less? Doesn't make sense.

 

WOW

wait doesnt XA's run lik 16's or sumting? if so, how the hell did that civic not pull away. they run lik 15's


either taht civic is slow, doesnt know how to drive

or

that XA is fast.

the xa lost by wat? 1 car or 1.5 cars? pretty impressive

 

eh... if that EG is actually modded... like a B16 B18 swap or something you won't even come close!! You gotta learn to drive man!! My coworker has the DX hatch with the D15 motor from the 97+ civic, with Injen intake/exhaust, 5 speed and I still killed it over and over like over 1 car length with my Auto Xa!!!

Comon~ man~ WTF!?

 

stock dx does not run 15 seconds

 

That Civic would run like a mid to high 15 with just an intake. He could have gotten wheel spin too - the road WAS wet. Either way, it was still dangerous

 

Stock 92-95 DX has what? like 98Hp and 102lb/ft torque?? i'm not sure exactly but i know its close.... ANY way those cars has ABSOLUTELY no ***** stock...

Modded now.. thatz a whole different story!!

 

No IT DOES NOT!!! i think your talking about the Civic SiR with B16A 160hp which we don't have in the US/canada! Those DX/CX with D series single cam/without VTEC DOES NOT do 15s stock ... 0-60 in prob under 11-10 sec. with intake!

 

oooo right, my bad, got mixed up wit the SI

ya the SI runs 15.2-15.7 (older to newer to newest)

 

My friend's DX runs a 16.7 with i/h/e. I run a 16.5 with i/h/e.

Auto xA stock 18.2
5spd xA stock 17.2 (at least that's what I got)

 

16.7 for the 5spd from the Motortrend "Smart Hatchbacks" article (Rio vs Aveo vs xA). . . I havn't seen the auto post under 18 seconds (why I got 5spd).

And for the others. . . as I said. . . you would not lose to a stock dx. You would even give newer EX's a run for their money. I don't know havn't checked on the 04's and newer (the current generation)

 

I've raced my friends 1999 Honda Civic EX manual and beaten it by two car lengths.

Then again, it's street racing where everything said is exaggerated to the tenth power

 

If you live in pittsburg and wanna street race , come to Tower Records in concord friday nite. People meet at 12 and take off from there.

 

Another run: This time i messed up and hit the redline before shifting to second gear.. :-( My friend is filming behind us riding in a turbocharged RSX..

>>if it's stripped you will lose.. this civic in the video had no passenger seats and almost every piece of panels has been removed.. >> imagine this civic with a RSX-S motor can beat an Evo VIII.. believe it or not..

 

I don't believe it... There's no way a stock swapped K20 motor will beat the 4g63T, especially modded. My Evo ran a 12.4 with just a reflash, MBC and exhaust. A swapped civic might get into the high 13s or low 14s. I know this from experience. I've owned both cars (Integra and now Evo).
