License Revoked
Was driving to get some fast food around 10pm
and saw some lowered beat up civic weaving in
and out of traffic.
Traffic was light enough that I decided to teach
this idiot a lesson. My reasoning was to humiliate
him so he realizes that his car isn't a little speed
rocket.
Get to a light, and I take off in 1st gear (steptronic).
I have a dual cone intake on it and you can hear
the turbos spooling up. I guess as soon as he heard
the noise, he let off and I let up around 50mph.
Thinking I had embarrased this guy enough for him to
slow down and drive normally, I cruise along at normal
speed.
At the next stoplight he comes up and starts revving on
me.
I have built more than my fair share of raced out Hondas
(that were actually fast) so I know what one looks like
and sounds like. I figured this would be an easy kill.
Light turns green and I take off...so does he. Around 2nd
gear I'm looking in my rearview mirror for this idiot and
he is nowhere to be found. Believe it or not, he was
2 car lengths behind me. At or around 60mph I was
about 3 car lengths ahead of him and I just let up because
he was out of his power band at those speeds and it
would be dangerous to go any faster to put anymore
lead on him.
So I brake around 70mph and he pulls up along side
and I roll down my window and yell:
"What do you got" ?
He simply shakes his head and continues to rev on me.
My turn was coming up so I just shook my head.
He did have something under the hood....an educated
guess on my part would be that he had a B16 swap
with intake and perhaps headers and some fartcan
exhaust.
Although here is the thing.....I had the exact same
model car with a ZC (1.6l DOHC non-vtec engine)
in it with only intake headers and exhaust and I
know for a fact that I would have given my 535i
a run for it's money.
I'm sure he didn't have NOS on it....turbos? probably
not.
He might have had a mini-me conversion, or at the
very least a SOHC vtec motor out of the EK civics in it.
It's bothering me now that I can't figure out what he had.
I was always 2-3 car lengths ahead of him the entire race.
If his civic was stock....it would have been a lot more.
Anyone have a clue?

teaching a lesson by inducing street racing. That makes sense.

Yup. Just like we are teaching the middle easterners democracy by bombing the crap out of their country.Originally Posted by Bobby Bonko

i'd bet on a d16 vtec swap altho the minime swap would be more likely.
EF's are so light, they are always something to be careful with.

That sounds about right actually. No power after 60mph and quick
as hell off the line in an EF.
