lol ok so i shoot flames at little civics

[collins]

so leaving work tonight, i'm taking my buddy home and he hasn't ridden in the goat after the headers went on, so i was kinda playing with it, so on and so forth... well after the car warmed up i went from 3rd to 2nd at about 40 and nailed it! i was unaware of the little civic (new 4dr si) i was about to scare the sh!t out of... well, at the next light, he came up beside me and we started talking for a brief minute... dude was pretty cool! he complimented the goat and we agreed to just have a little fun run...

light turns green... we punch it... lol he pulls a fender because all i'm doing is sitting there spinning, sliding to almost a 30 degree angle, while still propelling myself forward. i snatch 2nd and almost hook, but its pulling much better now! on my 2nd to 3rd shift i hear this "little" pop... pop... BOOM!!! with a flash in my rearview, my buddy riding with me was like "dude i think you just shot a flame!"

sure enough, at the next light he comes back up next to me with the http://www.ls1gto.com/forums/images/smilies/eek.gif face. he said "no cats?" i said "HAHA how'd you know?" apparently my 3ft flame came pretty close to his car!

he then proceeded to http://www.ls1gto.com/forums/images/smilies/hail.gif as he knew he just got GTOwned!

i give it to him tho, he was a good sport! he was cool, we shot the sh*t for a minute then we parted ways. it was a fun night.

my car shoots flames anytime i hit the rev limiter.???idk y.

[TIGERJC]

how many cars did you put on him by the time you shut down

[mocha latte cupcake]

i call BS! you probably drive a civic yourself! riceboys and their dreams of shooting flames! detune your SAFC fag! more power > tune... but that civic you drive is probably too slow to worry about that anyways! flames make you feel like your fast!






























lirl! awesome man! should have let him catch up a little before popping on... woulda left him with a scorch on the bumper as a reminder not to play with the big boys :D :goodjob:

[collins]

how many cars did you put on him by the time you shut down lol way too many to actually use cars as a measurement... really need billboards. :) lol

[3.5altman]

^^he he maybe football fields

[collins]

dude, good call! :lmfao:

[iloveboost]

What headers? Is that your only mod?

[collins]

k&n typhoon, pacesh!tty lt's (no cats) and magnaflow catback. untuned. getting tuned this saturday (assuming my manifold gaskets arrive in time)

[iloveboost]

Who is tuning it? Why get cheap headers?

[collins]

lol ok i'll post it again. i was only going to go with the jba catless mids until i could afford a nice set of headers... well i picked up these lt's for the same price i would've paid for the mids... so my conclusion was even if it was a temporary fix, it would do much better than the mids alone... however, after further research and as posted on ls1gto.com , marylandspeed did dyno testing btw the current kooks, pacesetters, then a new set of prototype kooks. while the new kooks produced a much better powerband, the pacesetters only dyno'd 5whp less than the current kooks headers. so i dont feel so bad about it.

[collins]

this, btw, was on the same car, same day. i also believe there was cool down time between runs due to uninstallation and reinstallation.

[iEvo]

hey collins now try to get them to stay lit! ill be driving somtimes and the mofos wont blow out

[jayjaySTI]

^hate when that shiot happens around cops:police: :no:

[collins]

lol i'd actually not rather then stay lit... i like my paint

[iEvo]

if my car wasnt black it would look like chi's car when he dosnt clean it

Who is tuning it? Why get cheap headers?

hes getting tuned at redstar performance in covington, same place that does all the work on my car and tuned it.

[CANCER]

Redstar Is a good shop from what I hear.

[Retro]

yeah, they are very good...and very reasonably priced.

[MIKE.P]

yes they are awesome....my shop is right next store to them......

[collins]

yup, eli's gonna tune it. hopefully my gaskets come in so i can take it to him saturday

[CANCER]

Nothings a better price then doing it yourself however.

[CANCER]

You have an 05 correct.

[collins]

yeah i have an 05. the work i can do myself, but to be honest, i know nothing about tuning, nor do i have my own dyno... so i'm just going to let an expert take care of that and maybe i can learn from him.

[CANCER]

Ls1 motors are the easiest motors to work on by far, there as easy as a honda motor.

[CANCER]

What intake are you putting on the car.

[collins]

haha, yeah, my ls2 doesnt seem to be too bad either *knocks on wood* :)

[collins]

the only mods on the car as of now would be

slp drop springs
k&n typhoon intake (not cold air)
pacesh!tty long tube headers with catless mids
magnaflow catback.

using hptuners software

i have a cam here at the house, but i'm not sure i'm going to put it in... i think i want to get a bigger cam instead of wasting my time installing a little one... plus i still gotta get all the pushrods, replacement fluids, ect... in time, but not just yet.

also when the hardened pushrods come in, i've got a 2step sitting here as well as a comp stage 2 clutch with my name on it at redstar.

[CANCER]

You need to have your intake ported. I ported mine and picked up 19 to the wheels. The ls2 intake is very restrictive.

[collins]

good call... i'll probably have him do that when we're doing the clutch since the car will be down for a day anyway

[CANCER]

I have a set on manly 7.4 pushrods I will sell for 70 bucks I had to have custom one made cause of my heads and cam I picked,

[CANCER]

**** it should only take about an hour to do a clutch.

[collins]

I have a set on manly 7.4 pushrods I will sell for 70 bucks I had to have custom one made cause of my heads and cam I picked,

wow, thats not bad! i may have to do that when i get my cash from stocks... yeah, i think i'll take those off your hands...

[CANCER]

let me know there just sitting here, I had valvesprings and lifters but I sold them yesterday.

[BufordhwyPlya]

You need a bigger cam, always bigger than you think you need. I'm running a baby cam 228/232

[SicStang03]

one of my cats has a gash from me bottoming out.. I will be O/R too soon... Any ideas about emisions though??

[onebadgt]

screw emmisions, as long as your not throwin a code they will pass you.

[SicStang03]

screw emmisions, as long as your not throwin a code they will pass you.

I will be throwing codes though with no cats. I will get it fixed with the tune but I still don't think they will pass me.. Unless someone here knows a place that will pass me for sure

[iloveboost]

Use o2 simulators. If the codes are cleared thru the tune, then you will pass emissions. :D

[Z U L8R]

get an older car then you don't have to worry about emissions rofl, you just have to worry about heat and air conditioning...a cup holder wouldn't hurt either :D
Dave :P

[SicStang03]

^ ^ ^ LOL ^ ^ ^

[collins]

Use o2 simulators. If the codes are cleared thru the tune, then you will pass emissions. :D daniel, nice meeting you today man! car sounds mean, esp with the cutouts open

[HiPSI]

hes getting tuned at redstar performance in covington, same place that does all the work on my car and tuned it.

Eli and Sabrina are great people and Eli does killer work. he built my engine and i've had 0 problems out of it after a year of beating the crap out of it. hopefully soon we're going to try out some different ported heads to see the gains on a relatively stock motor.
