There is a guy I know who is real big into to the honda seen that came by my job yesterday. He knows what I have done to my car and what all is on the way (being shipped) so he started to ask if I was ready for a race. I asked what he had now (last hatch was stolen) and he said the typical honduh "ls/vtec b16 blah,blah" and I laughed at him.

He then asked if I thought I could beat him? I told him once the wideband gets here and my others parts that I was pretty sure of it. So then he goes on to say well I have a "friend" who will race you who has a built blah, blah, blah or another friend with a stock car that could beat you.

Mind you, there are others around while he and I are having this conversation. So I go on to piss him off a little more by saying "just cause your boy has a stock car doesnt mean its slow. you know he could have a srt8, camaro ss, viper or whatever so whats your point?". He stood there and thought about it for a while. And then again asked "so do you want to race him?". I said sure and I hope he has something really fast like terminator cobra or something in that playing field. He then asked why? To my reply " I am sure your buddy is really going to be out in the streets bragging about beating a Mercury Capri.......".

He thought about it and said " but its turbo". again I said " dude its still a f%$^ing Mercury Capri!!". You think anyone will commend you on that win??  Now if I beat YOU that would be funny considering you lost to a Mercury Capri   ;)  .

He got the point and left   :D

thanks Yuri.

typing first thing in the morning isnt for me.

swapped honduh's can move and will shut down a lot out on the streets because of their hp>weight ratio and short gearing in the tranny.

I just found it hilarious that he was trying to punk out my capri in front of others only to be left standing there thinking "damn, what kinda bragging right is that?"

Now all you need to do is get the rust removed and re-paint it and than you can laugh at all of the hot rodders saying it's a Mercury Capri for goodness sake, quit drooling.

my apoligies, I, for some odd reason thought it was Yuri who started the thread.  I like giving Grant a hard time.

Hey RCI! No doubt it's something I wouldn't want to be embarrassed by but there are some 323s on Utube doing those same raw numbers. one can put that same power combo in a capri, though I don't believe anyone has. I'd love to put one of those monsters in one of my cars but I don't believe the life of the motor would be long enough to get me out of town nor do I believe I'd be able to control it under street driving conditions. So! Are you going back to hondas now? You seem to have something stabbing at you lately. Gus

Not trying to take on the honda world by storm here. my buddies eg hatch laid down 632whp and runs 10's with his ass driving (9 second car). would I race him? no. But I also dont live for my car like he does.

This same guy has a srt8 charger, a r/t charger, the eg hatch, and a couple others so he throws the money around like its just paper. He takes his car to the shop and says I want this, this, and this done and call me when its ready. what fun is that?

once my capri gets to where I want it, it will surprise some people just like I am sure you have surprised others.

guys this was simply an example of a well built and tuned honda civic del sol...

im keeping the capri gus... and im making it faster as planned ...

im just saying, it matters not the brand ...
ive seen fast all kinds of shit... but anything can be well executed, and made fast...

honda makes it easy to tune a car thats why thares so many out being tuned ...

alot of parts for a civic and others can be modified and used on the capri...

but ...a smart ass is a smartass ...no matter what he drives...
