It really wouldn't be worth it. First disadvantage to me is I have a Auto. So that kills the point there. I have raced a couple si's. Lost to 1 out of 3. Im only pulling a best of 16.4. But that was last year. I've done some more since then. But it still isn't fast. Im down for friendly races but Im not much of a gambler. Plus on top of all of that...He's spraying. So unless we raced N/A it wouldn't even be worth it.

lmao...hell yeah DO IT

Tarpit 01-27-2003 03:12 PM

Nah. As I said before I don't race for money. I really don't even like street racing. Especially with my driving record and what I pay for insurance (22 points, $6,000 a year). But a regular friendly race Im down with. And cause you say u drive an all motor car doesn't mean ur slow. But I'd race ya anyway for shits n giggles.

iRACEmyCTR 01-27-2003 04:48 PM

Tarpit 01-27-2003 05:04 PM

Unfortunately we are all Auto's. Plus there isn't exactly a huge aftermarket for my car like there is for imports.

how is it heating up lol? these are "friendly" races

addict: i will try to get some kinda video and then edit it in my media class

sohc_vtec 2NR 01-27-2003 06:40 PM

oh is that what they call it now a days? "friendly..ey?"...and don't forget to film it...i just enjoy watchin' some "friendly" racer..hehe

Tarpit 01-27-2003 06:45 PM

No. There are other advantages. Such as there has never been recorded as far as I know a engine swap with a ZX2. Whereas with Honda you's can do an engine swap to at least 3 diff motors if the engine space allowed. In otherwords Im saying it's a lot cheaper for you's. PLus there's only 1 available turbo kit for our car made by Gude which is designed like shit. Plus there are only 2 available head packages available for my car and it isn't really even worth the money for the power. Plius there are other minor things such as the comparison of hwo many quality intakes for mine verse Honda. My car only has about 3 that are in production. 2 full exhaust systems. Plus a very limited supply on other minor things. Just now we are starting to get more bodykit support but that is because we pretty much begged for it since there were only 2 available up until 2001. And the car was first produced in 98. Plus we don't get any support from Ford themselves since we are the bastardchild as compared to their egg on wheels the Focus and the Focus SVT.

Oh. And I'll bring a vid cam to if I can get ahold f my friends digital 1.

oc civic 01-27-2003 06:48 PM

it has to be after this weekend we are welding the cage in..

Tarpit 01-27-2003 06:50 PM

Not a problem. Im in no rush to kill my 3rd trans. By the way. The vid for that animation in your sig is a trip.

get a manual conversion this time;)

Tarpit 01-27-2003 07:06 PM

I would..But I would no longer be under warranty plus I would have to do a lot more then just change the trans. Such as the ECU, wiring harness, Motor and tranny mounts, plus install a clutch pedal and there are other minor things involved. It would be cheaper for me to trade my current car in for a manual. And I don't feel like parting with it yet. I can actually get my trans rebuilt by Level10 in NJ so it can handle hp and burnouts. But that'll cost me a grand total of about 4 grand for the job to be complete including labor.
