umm yea pretty much....i think i could take it on a bike...hell my powerwheels jeep i had when i was little could probably take it

It looks like you could take on something, and to most people thats all thats needed. They've got enough power to get places. A GT has a little power to back the looks, the ST... well... It looks nice. I chose a celi just cause it looks cool, and honestly, how often does a owner of a 350hp supra get to use all the horsies?

Hey, wasn't that car on E-bay. How much did he end up selling it too you.
HyperDeathKill
May 27, 2003 - 8:28 PM
Yea I might not take a sunfire or a cav stock, but then again, a base Civic sure as hell can't take our car stock... and that doesn't stop people from buying them for speed.

May 27, 2003 - 8:33 PM
u gotta admit though whether u like civics or not there are some fast ones out there

May 27, 2003 - 10:44 PM
ya i did buy the car off ebay ended up just using buy it now. but now there seems to be something a little fishy about it so i unno i've been keeping in touch with the guy so i guess we'll see......oh does anyone know exactly how they determine duty, since i got to bring that car back across the border.....?

depends what trim civic your goin against... SIs can rape a stock celica, but the EX or LX is a different story... and how can you loose to a sunfire or a cavy?! i can take a Z-24 no problem...

ya but what's done to your car?

May 28, 2003 - 5:08 AM
This is pathetic.......aaarghhhhh, we're talking about eating or not civic and cavalier.......ouach, any car should be able to do this, and we're not.....arghhhh....that's a shame......What happens with this 2.2 16 v engine ???? It has the cc !!! Is it antipollution stuff, exhaust restriction ? A 1998 z24 rolled 15,2 with minor mods, vw 2,0 16 v can roll in the 14s,..and our 2,2 16v does 16-17....hummmmm.....???
boosted_K2
May 28, 2003 - 10:22 AM
restrictive airflow and fuel mapping is mainly to blame. i still am convinced the 7afe and 5sfe series' were just toss togeathers of scrap toyota had made too much of.
oh, and my car is a ST (97 i might add, has 10 less HP) 5-spd with only the greddy exhaust as far as performance... which is pretty much just 90% sound, 5% looks, and only about 5% actual performance gain.
steve-0
May 28, 2003 - 12:27 PM
okay thanks man ya when i get the car i'm going to dress up the engine completly but i want some more hp also so thanks............i'lllook into that
