neighbors jdm civic...

I know i'm late to the party, but the guy spent $3000 for 170hp motor?

Let me see the suspension design is trash. The interior quality is trash. The quality of the parts they use are fucking trash. I had a friend just anhialate his head on his turbo civic while repainting his ugly valve cover. He was screwing down the bolts for the valve cover and the threaded hole the bolt went into (in the head) broke in half. The head literally broke.

We laughed at him for hours. Granted his car was the fastest in the driveway. Fast doesn't mean shit.

susupension design trash?? your f'ing retarded I much rather have my civic suspension back over this e30 stupid ass strut housing and rear suspension. What civic did he have that was crappy? have you ever sat in some leather gsr seats? they put our sport seat to shame. The quality of parts is trash? Really, how? Because your idiot of a friend used ten foot pounds on those bolts instead of inch pounds? It's a steel bolt being screwed into aluminum. yes base models are lacking in luxury, but they are all quality parts.

A properly set up civic or teg is very fast in the corners.

maybe a full front clip. Or exaggerating. A type r goes for about that but it makes over 200. he proabably has a b16 which should run about 1k for a good one. they are becoming rare.

for the money I much rather have and f20,h22,h23 vtec motor. they are all around 1k as well but make more power and tq.

I could care less if my e30 was built by fiat, it's a fantastic platform. But 20 years ago honda built much better engines then bmw. So I like honda motors, and bmw shells. Some one needs to swap a f22 into a 2002.

Twenty years ago, the m50 was standard in the e36 and e34, the motor everyone is putting in there e30 now and still similar to the inline sixes used in bimmers now...... the s14 had more power than any Si Civic makes until recently, and BMW built the first german v12 in the 7 and 8 series. Please explain to me how Honda was making better engines 20 years ago, now, or ever.

[Farbin Kaiber]

Honda has successfully been making more power per liter for the past 20 years out of efficient engines on the market. Tis true.

i know i will get flamed for this, but whatever!


I raced my ex in her Integra GSR B18c or whatever(manual 5sp) in my old 325e( chip, muffler)...i got her off the line, but once she hit vtak she murderd my ass.

i learned my lesson.


In my 325is? different story! not fast, but it's got the kick!

"100% stock motor"

i dont think so.

[Stephen]

Stock. Funny, i dont think my neighbors stock engine has a snail on it, or exhaust coming out the side

[884door]

I think they mean stock block/internals/head.

Your missing the point, comparing Hondas to Bmws is rediculous. There purposes are completely different. BTW The ITR was the first car from the factory to make 100 hp per liter.

First N/A car maybe.

Even then I think the ferrari f355 beat it by a couple years, and the McLaren f1 did it back in 92 with the bmw m70 engine. (If you consider it a production car...)

Because this is an e30 forum I'll point out that the e30 m3 evo sport made 94hp/liter in 1990.

Oh yeah and Mazda rotary motors have made over 100hp/liter since the 70s but some will argue the 13b is 2.6 liters not 1.3

Yeah forgot to add that part, first n/a motor. I'm not too sure, but i believe it was back in the mid 80's when they made the first b16. Don't quote me on that

love the banter in here... never gets old
