lots of turbo civics only hit 14's, maybe 13's if they're lucky 7/29/2005 7:26:59 PM |
theDuke866 All American 52840 Posts user info edit post |
^^i actually just put it on eBay.
it probably wouldn't pass emissions with the test pipe in it, but it passed last time i had it inspected just by putting my 3" cat in there. if that didn't work, you could always lean it out a lot. 7/29/2005 7:56:01 PM |

i'm still uploading the pics. i'll post a link in a few.
i'm gonna wait and see how hard it is to sell the Miata. If i can get it sold pretty soon, i might go ahead and buy the ski myself if he'll let it go for the right price. otherwise, i'll send you his way. 7/29/2005 8:22:02 PM |

k, cool. I think I found a GP1300R I'm looking to get after I sell this GP1200...dude took all the stickers off and it has some scratches on the fiberglass and he just wants the loan paid off which is a ridiculous price for a 1300R...he has like 6 jetskis and is just selling this one to do some crazy stuff to another one. Anyways, lemmme know, later 7/29/2005 8:24:44 PM |

if it was a dark green civic with the fmic and black rims with a silver lip i know the kid, he's running 8-9psi on the stock internals. it's kinda quick for a civic, i like the way it looks. 7/29/2005 11:52:05 PM |

duke, no offense, but i wouldn't brag about beating a turbo civic. remember, its a civic. think about who drives a civic. 95% of them can't drive worth a fuck. P Nis beat a turbo civic in his stock tundra. ahahahhaa 7/30/2005 8:46:43 AM |

theDuke866, if it was a SOHC on stock internals, I have no doubt that you beat it. 7/30/2005 10:30:14 AM |

baonest. of course, it doesn't take much driving skill in highway drag race from 50 mph.
and that's funny as hell that P Nis beat one in a tundra...hahaha
i didn't realize it was turbocharged when he first pulled up next to me, so i figured i'd just run all over him. then i heard it whistle when he downshifted to provoke a race, and i was like, well shit...i hope i can still run him on the low boost setting, because i'm not about to chicken out on a civic. i figured i'd pull on him a little, but i had no idea that i'd completely slaughter him.

uh oh 8/7/2005 11:42:15 AM |
theDuke866 All American 52840 Posts user info edit post |
^^because i spent all my time fixing little stupid stuff on it for the first couple of months i owned it (nothing bad...i think replacing a starter was the worst thing...i spent maybe $350 altogether, but it took a lot of time).
after that, i spent 6.5 months at a pretty rigorous school for the Marines where i was living in the barracks with no tools or convenient place to work on it, and trained 60-80 hours/week for the first 5 months or so of the school (not even counting the days and weeks spent in the field).
by the time i got time to play with it, i bought my S2000 and decided to sell the miata (and the jeep). throw in moves from raleigh to quantico, and quantico to pensacola, and i just haven't gotten around to it.
it's running really, really rich. it might just be a matter of spending some dyno time...it might be a matter of putting a fuel pressure regulator on it...it might be a matter of tracking down an ailing or failed sensor of some sort (maybe needs a new wideband O2). i don't know...it's a fun little car as is, and i just haven't had time to mess with it.
oh, and we're up to $2025 with 8 bids and about 6 days left to go. had a dude call me from orlando today; he wants to come check it out on friday morning.

whats the gas milage like? 8/7/2005 11:03:17 PM |
theDuke866 All American 52840 Posts user info edit post |
i've gotten 28 on the interstate, going 80-90 mph.
don't let it spool up, and it gets the gas mileage you'd expect from a 1.6L, 2200 lb car.
if you beat on it, i think it gets around 20 or so, maybe even a little less if you really drive the shit out of it. i don't really know. 8/7/2005 11:08:37 PM |

haha, that's some internet mafia shit right there.
if someone came up with something that we could turn into a stupid trend, like the Pet Rock, we could get like 1000 people from the wolf web to bid on it and make it look like the next big thing.
pretty soon we'd be making BANK...until people figured out that it was an artificially manufactured trend, and they weren't cool for having our product, after all. 8/8/2005 9:46:28 PM |
