Official bash civics thread

[JITB]

the normal impreza boxter engine that isnt turboes puts out, 170, which is right there with the SI's, so i dont know wtf he is talking about.

si is rated at 198hp at the flywheel
ms3 - 263hp
gti - 200hp
srt4 - 230hp
wrx - 224hp
rsx - 200hp

all around the same..

Okay but civic si, 198hp crank, wrx = 224.. 26 hp difference. but then youe gotta consider AWD driveline loss!

And you apparently missed the part in my reply to JITB that said we are not talking stock cars here. Mainly because there is no reason to bash a stock civic. If someone put a turboback exhaust on the WRX and had it tuned it can see a 50 whp gain easily. But I am not here to defend the WRX. I am saying that riced out civics suck and there is nothing anyone can say to me to think otherwise, especially in a way where I have to decipher where periods have to be placed.

riced out anything sucks... ..But as easy as u can get 50hp out of the wrx, u can get power out of the others it would give similar results..

Like I said man, I am not here is defend the WRX or my car (barely a WRX anymore). I am here to give anyone hell that drives a riced out civic (or a riced out car in general). I am an equal opportunity hater

I know you aren't exactly a pro-honda guy, so im kinda surprised by your involvement in this thread, but i appreciate you being level headed unlike some of these guys. My point in this thread wasn't actually to bash hondas so much but to point out that a majority of people that make lame arguments against them often have the same short comings in their own vehicles that they boast

all the same at the flywheel maybe but definately not at the wheels. Stock srt4s dyno higher than 230.

yea yea, we know that... we dont want to get into that... But you know out of all, the wrx prob has the most drivetrain loss of all..


But im not defending hondas, iver never owned one. But, im the type that has a problem with the way the tuner thing has changed. I liked it better when it was people taking ****ty cars and making them into great cars. Now its more of buying a great car, and making it great? Not to say that we all dont want nice cars. But alot of cars dont impress me too much, not because of what it is. But just because it doesnt suprise me when a evo makes 700 hp on 40lbs of boost... i mean dam what motor wont make 700hp on 40lbs...lol. Just some cars im numb to their capabilities, and it doesnt interest me at all. And alot of people rather tell someone to not waste money on the car they want, rather than give props. I challenge anyone to go and research about a car that they hate or cant stand to see people put money into, and see if u dont find something interesting about it.

well looks like everyone else in here is not to defend there civics.. but you are here to defend the hp of your neon aintcha..

well i've owned 3 civics, loved it, modified it, SOld Some, Bought Some more, a very on going side job, for gett'n that xtra $$$ and all the motors were making under 120, and took me places 4rom point A to B.. thats that.. and i do believe i'd riced the fucc out of one of them.. and @ that year.. i've sold it for about 9k and only spend like 4k in it .. ..

nah just pointing out that manufacturers claim very different hp #s and since the srt4 is the only one I'm familiar with It was my example
