the other day i went down to palmsprings for some racing and i raced this civic that was fast he said he ran low 14's at the track so i said what the hell, ive ran 14.4's
we lined up and he jumped on me from the start his gear was much longer than mine after first i started to close on him but it was to late lost by a little more than a half car.Come to find out it was a civic ex gsr swoop chip and a bunch of other stuff and also redline at 9400 rpm's (damn).
But i had a horrible start and he knew and wouldnt race me a second time, punk

Good run! No shame in losing to a car like that.
Is your car Photoshopped, or does it actually sit that low on Eibach's?

Basically, this means non-force inducted. (No turbo or supercharger). Some consider nitrous forced induction as well.

Hey flipmode
don't feel bad. I raced a similar civic (88-91) with a Hybrid 1.8 LS block with the GSR Head, with an intake and exhaust. We raced from a stoplight to about 105 mph. The first I lost, but the 2nd and 3rd I kicked his ***, when cars are so close in performance it's all up to the driver.

Re: Hey flipmode
Curious. GSR head? I wonder how that guy fit the VTEC assemblies in and did the electronics to activate it. That would be pretty hard I would guess?

All B-series (DOHC) Honda/Acura parts are interchangeable...
So you can just slap a VTEC head (B16A2/B18C1/B17/etc)
onto a non-VTEC block (B18B, B20, etc)...
As far as the VTEC activation...it can simply be wired to your tach or you can use a VTEC ECU & wiring harness...
This is a cheaper alternative to dropping in an entire VTEC swap and actually results in MORE torque than a full VTEC motor....but you lose the oil squirters which are only in the VTEC blocks. I could go on for hours about Hondas.
