Default Stupid Civics

How many people out there are sick of fucking Civics? One out of every ten people in my town drive em' and they think their badass. I belive they honestly think that just because they have a spoiler and ground effects, they can go really fast. The truth is though, that a stock 4-cilinder CAN NOT go over 110. The only way they go fast is with NOS or supercharging, which 98% of Civics don't have. So wise up stupids, your car ain't the shit.

I laugh everytime a pimped out civic pulls up beside me at a light and wants to race me. And boy do they look pissed when I win. Maybe having a jeep beat their "pimp mobile" puts things into perspective to them.

I'm also sick of every viper pulling up to a light wanting to race me.

Sometimes i'll entertain them, embarass them rather.

Same thing goes for the ricers!

Everybody wants to race but nobody will go for high stakes. Oh well guess i'll have to keep my day job.

Anyone that pulls up to a set of lights and sits there revving trying to get anyone to race...is a f****n idiot no matter what car they are in. I had a 92 civic (which was stolen "damn it") by the way and will be getting another one soon. I like the style and the shape of the car, I am going to modify it like the last one i had. Don't sterotype the civic, idiots drive all types of cars...you however just seem to notice the civic in it's great number and great popularity... The civic has style, great fuel economy, handling and nah! I will just say DON'T KNOCK THE CIVIC...OR ANY HONDA YOU BRAINLESS TWIT...

Or because it's a cheap car that can be easily bought used. If you gfuck it up, you can get your mommy to buy you another one without too much haggling.

Really though civics are decent cars. The ones that get all the bad attention though are the ones owned by idiots that put all kinds of worthless crap on them and get their asses handed to them anytime they try to race. They can be made to whoop ass, but there's a low percentage of them that are not posers.

Nope, still wrong. the GTI is what got everyone making the compact sporty-type cars. I'm not talking about Modifying, that's just shit. I'm talking about who actually started the pocket rocket craze. and it was Volkswagen. OverRide, you need a brain.


also, I don't care for the civic-modding crowd. they're all a bunch of idiots, putting fart exhausts (which in truth, don't actually help performance), huge Wings, and fancy wheel rims on their little econo box, and then think they can take it to the track (or street races), blow everyone away! it's a big load of shit! All you ricers and fucking American muscles can keep your gay little "fast" cars. Europe STILL rules the racing world, and nobody can deny that!


and, it's funny: even when Volkswagen makes a Pocket rocket, it obliterates any ricer out there! ever heard of the Corrado SLC? well, you have now!

Ooo...fart exhausts. I'm not sure I understand those. Why do you ricers want your car to sound like a Suzuki motorcycle. Hell, you could just spend three or four grand on the motorcycle, and it would go a helluva lot faster than your rice-burner.

I like car sounds. The rumble of a big-block. That equally impressive yet wonderfully unique rumble of a hemi. The whine of a turbo. The smooth purr of a European exotic. Not the $30 glass-packed job on your mom's Honda, though.

Big fucking deal. I've seen a dodge caravan run 12 second quarter miles, and VW bugs run in the low 13s. Does that mean that caravans and bugs are bad ass? No, not at all. I agree, I've seen civics that would stomp a mudhole in most people's ass. The majority of the civics though are just kids that slap a bunch of stickers, park bench spoilers, fart tubes, and other useless crap.

I have a stock looking Dodge Daytona that whoops imports every day. Does that mean that it's the shit? No, just that most imports are fixed up to look fast and nothing more.

Here's a very good site that beats most of the arguments about imports vs domestic. http://members.tripod.com/~juan_espero/

It hasn't been updated in a long time, but it still has some good shit.

and hey! the lil cars sound like suzukis for a good reason. they can only put out so much exhaust you know. with a big block u can set the idle really low for some kick ass top end power, giving it a real intimidating rumble. u can do that to a lil teeny bean car too. and it sounds like its underwater. seriousley. same style of muffler, the 4 banger will sound like its underwater. so they change the muffler so it will have the same decibel noise, but comes across as more of a buzz.its just a matter of what u prefer, or in reality, what u grew up with. as long as its done right, a tuned four cylinder exhaust can be absolute music. as with a tuned big block that rumbles your bumper off when he pulls up to the line.

and thats why suzukis sound like, well, suzukis. the smaller the engine, the buzzier its gonna get. have u ever heard a banshee at redline?

You're probably thinking of one of the older full size rear wheel drive Daytonas. I was talking about a 91 FWD 4 banger with a little bitty wing. You're right though the older one were cool as shit.

Let's clear one thing up: I am not racist. I hate the idea of racism. now, I couldn't give a crap about YOU'RE definetion of "ricer", but MY definetion of "ricer" is anyone who puts body kits, fart exhausts, and aftermarket wheel rims on their little economy car. whether it's a ford focus, VW Jetta, or the notorious(sic) honda civic. all in intention or belief that it can now go RACING with these cosmetic modifications, and the belief that their econobox is now FAST. these people are complete IDIOTS in my book. they can't compete with a car originally and actually intended to go faster than the average car. I think the person in their slightly modified civic (or whatever) that drives up beside a P 911 and starts revving his little bee hive of an engine, thinking he's gonna smoke this proper sports car off the road!


THEY are the people that need to get a life and a brain. if they wanna race, get a car that goes fast on it's own. if they want fuel economy, and to simply get to where they need to go and that's it, get an Econobox. it's as simple as that.

almost done. you see, Never before have I seen a riced up civic (or whatever) with any engine upgrades. never. AT ALL. not in Canada! EVER civic that tries to look fast, ISN'T. there are no civics with V8's in Town, there are no mythical civics that can beat a Ferrari, and lastly, you are talking out your ass. If a Ferrari 360 Spyder, A porsche 911, and a Viper were beaten by a modified civic, it means 1 of 3 things.
1) the driver in the other car doesn't know how to handle a proper sports car, and wound up doing a burnout
2)the ferrari/porsche/whatever had indeed no intention of racing, and was simply cruising
and 3), the most unlikely: the Civic had a huge turbo charger, and after intense modification that costed thousands, now pushes 600 HP.


one final note about racism and the Meaning or "ricer". go read what I said. read it carefully. I use the term ricer to describe these cars and people because most of the economy cars come from japan, and also because I don't have any other proper name for it. I have respect for people that do modify their cars, and do, in fact, make it go fast via forced induction/whatever.

that's all very well, but you gotta realize, not everybody actually modifies their engine! believe it or not, but it's THOSE people that are the idiots.

there. I am officially done with this. OverRide, the next time you want to argue with me, go do some research. you'll find that modifying a car to beat vipers and porsches is near impossible.

Oh, but it has been done.

all of the cars i talked about were stock except for the 914 which was pushing around 250 hp and they were all beaten by the same civic, a b18 which was pushing 330 hp. this was a privately owned civic that had only been dynoed twice, and never saw a time slip at the track. and i have video. i bought it from a dude on a burnt cd, but it might still be at www.streetracing.com


Why do you blow those v10-12 powered beasts to titan stature? they aren't that freakin great! they are in fact really really good, but sheez man, u are like ALL HAIL THE MIGHTY DIABLO. do u even know how heavy those things are? i didn't think so.

You can make anything run fast if you throw enough money at it. Although I don't necessarily agree with everything that override says, I do agree with parts.

What's more impressive a v8 muscle car running fast or something with a 2.0 L 4 banger running the same speed? I'd have to go with the 4 banger. Although the v8 is usually going to be thousands cheaper to get into the 12-14 second range.

I posted the link to the 13 second minivan somewhere, but don't feel like finding it. That thing would whoop blown mustangs and camaros all day long. It also whooped a supra or 2. He didn't spend very much on it and it looked stock other than the slicks up front.

Then you have the other extreme. Kids with a civic that put a wing, fart tube, stickers and a huge tach on their car. Maybe lower it and change wheels and tires. Those guys are the posers that give all honda owners a bad name.

I have seen 4 cylinder imports whoop high end cars and even run pretty close to crotch rockets. Those are rare and most of the time nobody is going to pay any attention to them because they're used to seeing nothing but posers.

lol, quite true.

anyways, I've already stopped. OverRide is blowing air out his ass, and I couldn't give a shit!
Hey, rlpinca, I agree wholly, anything can go fast if you fork the big bucks over, but otherwise, posers and their "rice" rockets suck. No, "ricer" isn't technically a racist slur. I don't know if it is where you come from, but up here it isn't. and you can't change that. why? we don't take it that seriously.

geez, man, get over it. My favorite car is a Volkswagen Corrado SLC, a car with a 6 CYLINDER in it. 178 Horsepower. A sport Coupe, that, in it's day, in stock form, could run any other ricerocket off the road (note: the Corrado is technically a "ricerocket"). Which leads me to my next point:

I don't "worship" 8,10, and 12 cylinders, it's just they are technically better, they have more torque, and they can handle more power. and yes, I know how heavy they are. put 4 turbo chargers on a 16 cylinder, and what do you get? over 1000 horsepower! and guess what? the engine can handle it! very easily! (I'm talking about the Bugatti Veyron, of course)

the bottom line for me is that European cars are the best. they make the best cars, they run everything else off the road (Mclaren F1, ferrari Enzo, VW corrado, in their respective catagories)


on a side note, I came across a story (and a few pics) about a VW corrado that had an Audi quattro system dropped in it, and the engine was pumped to nearly 300 HP. It still rules any pocketrocket on the road!

If I find the site, I'll put up a Hyperlink.

Kraut's rule the Road!

Ricer Stands For The REason Of The TYpe R.

I drive a 300zx Wich has no exterior upgrades Exept a body kit wich i got � priced From a Tubiron. The real Thing is under then Engine...
Ive done my port and polish, Reprogramed the Chip. put a close ratio transmission, And supercharged the shit out of it.
My muffler is a farter yes. But It warns Everyone that That Engine doesnt make jsut a lot of noise but alot of power,
In case u can hear anything Exept THe Music coming from The car...
I do not wear a hat backwards And dont rev my engine. But when I see An Atractive woman in An RSx-s Who thinks she can make me kiss her behind I show that big muffler of mine.
lol. nothing Wrong with driving a suped up car. The wrong thing is getting caught racing it or not beeing able to control it over 100 mph

its not the posers that give us asians a bad name. its retards who see CIVIC W/ A BODY KIT AND WING, then assume the dude is asian who give asians a bad name.



In my area, I hardly EVER see Asians in those riced-up Civics. It's always some inbred, white-trash wankstain tryin' to act all badass! An Asian dude I go to school with works as a mechanic and his 4 cyl TWIN-TURBO Neon will SMOKE any one of those pieces of shit in their riced-out civic. His car doesn't even sound like a fart machine. Action speaks louder than some farting noise coming out of an oversized tailpipe.

still you persist to be an idiot. I've had it with your crap. LISTEN CLOSELY for the last time. the Term "Ricer". it is NOT a racist term. It can mean whatever down in the states, but that is a WHOLE DIFFERENT CULTURE. just cause it means something over their doesn't make it so everywhere else.
now then, when I use the term "ricer", I am referring to a poser or posers that simply say the can go fast, when in truth, they cannot. yes, there are people that say they can go fast, and they can, however that is a complete rarity 'round these parts. got it? good.

oh yes
"XR7"? what the fuck? Ok, sorry, all your credibility just went down the drain. are you in fact talking about me? if you are, then sorry, you just fucked yourself over. why? I did not, in fact, buy a rex. I don't have a rex. and I would never call it "XR7". you find me a fucking link, buddy boy.

now, then. OverRide, I don't know what the hell your problem is, but I hardly even care anymore. why should you? hey, you were wanted to stop, and I'll stop once you quit with all your crap.

and Again, I DEFY you to find a link of this "XR7" crap.

good fucking day.

Damn rotary engine was also a gas-guzzler(apex seals were worn)

Hopefully the RX-8 & it's Renesis rotary engine will outperform & outlast its predecessor.

that rotary obviously wasn't good condition. the guy probably didn't maintain it. I've plenty of happy stories about the RX-7. the only occasional problems are usually the above mentioned apex seals, but due to the fact that there's not nearly as many mechanicals as a normal combustion engine, theres not much to wear. some guy in town has a blue rex, and he rescued it's sorry ass from some guys yard. the only thing that really did work properlly was the engine.

I can't wait for the RX-8.

hmm, township. so angry. you need to calm down and count to 10 for a while. and yeah, i'm sorry, it was solid ferret who said xr7. *tsk tsk tsk* Gays nowadays. it' so easy to get them mixed up. anyways, u are ignorant bud. ignorant of the world. u damn canoodians can't hold shit brainwise. if u can say poser, say poser man. it's not that hard. but just for that, i think all of us americans should make Quebec stand for FAG, in honor of our ignorant paper white canoodian friend here. fuckin quebecs! go eat shit and die!

anyways, front street? lol i didn't hear about that bust, but that's just beggin for cops to come. and man if u get caught watching, just run. seriousley. if u get gaining on them they will run after some other dude who is closer. the tickets to spectators is just more of giving people something to think about next time they want to support street racing. and if u get caught during a race, KEEP GOING! why do u people pull over? you have a head start on the guy, those crown vics have a top speed of like 100 mph, and they can't tell what your plates say OR what kind of car you have. just fucking go man. i see people get away all of the time. it's performance is very comparable to an F-150. f-150s are fast...for their size. both engines are made for low end pop and both weigh a freakin ton. do some research on the crown vic. you will never run from one again. cuz they suck.

Besides, you should realize that all European auto makers make pussy cars to build funding for their supremely awesome make-you-whizz-your-pants supercars.

no, they've (germany) tried to take over the world twice. Vdubs cost so much because they are, in fact, of higher quality then every other car in it's class.
they are loaded with everything you'd thing is optional, and make it standard.

and yes, Adolf Hitler commisioned Dr. Ferdinand Porsche (the god of cars, IMO) to create a small, affordable car that anyone and their grandmas could buy and drive. it had to be lightweight, small and practical, and it still had to be reliable. that's exactly what he did. I mean, come on, if theirs one thing that hitler did realize, is that people still needed to get places!
after the war ended, the good Dr. decided to sell his cars all over the world anyways, but it didn't go so hotly in america, where everyone was still sore from the war. but, it caught on, eventually, when they realized how good the car really is, and it went on to beat the Model T ford in Record for amount sold.

of course, Dr. Porsche and his son also went on to create the 356, and started the renowned sports car marque the smart people know and love.

and those modified dubs are still winning street races!

Vdub forever!

they make more performance parts for 4cyl. cars because they dont have enough balls but take a v8 and put it into a little car that has a 4cyl. and it will most likely run 9s or less if you really like to drag. i presonally like street racing or rally.

you know why I wouldn't be impressed if an econo car ran 11's? because 1/4 mile runs don't count as real racing. circuit racing is the proper way, none of this straight-line shit. if the econo box is able to hold it's own on the likes of monza, suzuka, or nurhburgring, and keep up with the likes of a porsche 911, ferrari 360, and mazda RX-7, THEN i would be impressed. however, when was the last time you've ever heard of that happening?

Take an econo car that costs around $15,000, then dump enough money into it to be equal in price to a ferrari or porsche and I can guarantee that it will be a bad ass car and should be able to hold it's own quite well.

1/4 mile runs are usually used to compare cars more often because that's the type of racing that the majority of people have access to. It's also the closest form of racing that can be done on public roads(although it's a no-no)

Take me for example. There's 4 dragstrips within a hundred miles. There's not a road course within 4 or 500 miles. Most people are in a similar situation. I love watching road races, but they're not as easy to get into as drag racing.

something funny happened this morning. as i walked out to my car this morning to go to work, this guy with a relatively new oldsmobile asked me for a jump. i'm in the process of hooking up my jumper cables and the owner of the car next to us walks up. saggin ass pants, puffy jacket, and baseball cap crooked. i thought, 'shit, override's here'.what kind of car was it? a honda civic. fart can pipe, and stickers. even those nifty seat belt pads that say 'powered by honda' :| i knew this fucktard couldn't keep his mouth shut. and he didn't. he jumped in immediately and started offering advice, even went so far as to check if i had the cables hooked up to the proper posts. after he adjusted the postive clip so it rested against the radiator, i knew i had to tell the fucker to back off. he then proceeded to diagnose the dead battery as a solenoid. "your best bet to to get a new solenoid. it's probably the solenoid, lots of cars have that problem." hooked up my end, lights came on, and the car started. being an expert on sticker application does not make you a diagnostic technician.

Solenoid? That's a new one.

I especiallylike when a car won't start after about 90 tries and 30 minutes of cranking. Then of course the battery goes dead. The expert mechanic on scene always says"Yer battery is dead, it mush be yer alternator going bad". Never mind the fact that it didn't start on the first 90 tries.

civics are cool: independent wishbone suspension(ala formula 1), they're cheap, they're reliable(until you start tinkering), they're light(so get more gains out of more hp)

ricers on the other hand....no

for 500 bucks you can get a civic shell $2000 for an integra type R engine $3000 for tools and bolt on's(such as rims, suspension parts(not spring clamps)full exhaust intake etc.) and for $5,500 you have a 230whp 2,300lb car with air conditioning that can do high 12's - low 13's in the quarter and has the handling to boot

Sorry but I don't think $3000 worth of go fast goodies will put you in the 12's or the high 13's for that matter.

Low 14s to high 15s would be more reasonable.

there's some fast japanese imports around, and either you're too stupid to notice or you're in denial. and riceboy is used for BOTH imports and domestics, it refers to people who don't know SHIT about what they are spewing at people, and they act like they have something to race only it's either a civivc with a fart pipe or a six cylinder mustang with the badges switched/shaved.
I've beaten MANY v8 mustangs and one yellow late model corvette(although it was a slow old guy), in my second generation HONDA crx with a b16 swap and 50 shot. it cost me 6000 all together to build a car that is faster than or as fast as a production corvette, and after i get my prokit it'll probably handle better. so in short, quit bitching about shit you don't know cause you saw a movie, and actually look at the 9 sec civics that cost the same as your production 6 cylinder mustang. (note: my car doesn't go 9 sec)

Show me a street legal civiv that runs 9 sec quarter miles that costs the same(in the 9 sec setup) as a 6 cylinder mustang. Let's put it into perspective, a stock viper runs mid 12s. YOu're telling me that there's a civiv that's worth less than $20,000(I'm guessing on the mustang price) running 3 seconds faster than a viper? I'm sure there might be, but we're talking about a 4 banger and I would like to see proof. I'm not saying that it can't be done nor am I bagging on imports.

I could take a $500 beater and dump $15,000 or so into the engine to get into the low 10s high 9s, but it wouldn't be very fun to drive around town and would be a trailer queen.

i'm going to have to agree with this guy, i own a 1989 MERCEDES-BENZ 300E so far there has not been another import car that has beaten it in a race, the only cars that can beat me are:
cameros (they need to be the 350 model)
corvettes (DUH)
vipers (DUH again)
bacically anything with a 350 cu/in motor or above
MERCEDES-BENZ rules

go fuck urself resuection im from quebec and im normal. and no ur the fuckin racist now first off il call u a fuckin poser like a normal person and no i dont pronounce things with oo!!!and i bet u cant even spell ur own contreys name.u farmyard rased donkey. u have to stop talking through ur ass and consider that not every quebecer drinks 2 much pepsi and talks like ( hey trevor its aboot time we get bak to our hoose in canooda) i hope u drive ur civic into a ditch it catches fire and u burn a slow painful death as ur whole family watches but laugh as u burn ur way into hell...

ne ways now that i calmed down i hae a few storys... i live on a street that is 2 blocks approximately a quarter mile. now i see tons of races all night. and i will agree its usually a civic with an exhaust pipe and wing that looses but every once in a while they win. Now i cant say ive never seen them win. It all depends on what u put under ur frigen hood an exhaust wont do much with a stock 4 cylinder engine!!! if u take a civic change the intake-outake valves. time it properly you will gain like 20 horsepower (dont quote me im not 2 sure bout that) adding a body kit will lower drag which will help if your car can reach a speed where it needs it!!! wings are useless if ur car is a chicken in a box. see where im going u should upgrade the parts that need upgrading. and u should try to learn abit about cars before u leave it in the shop for a day. most peeps i see racing civics are younger kids beacuase there just getting started ne ways if you do a good job on a civic (pretty much replace motor) it will preform well if u add a fart machine it wont change anything so for the amount it costs to add a fart machine u migh aswell go to the gun shop buy a gun then shoot out ur opponents tires while racing (that will help u win).
Peace to everyone but overRide resSurRection
