The Manhattan Project II: Sporty's Civic Build

[CaminoRacer]

Honda was slower than many other manufacturers in adopting chipped immobiliser keys.  They were simply easy to get into and either drill out the ignition switch or hotwire.

I have a key hidden on my car. You can literally walk up to at any time and take it of you want. If you're smart enough.

RWD >>>>>>

It depends. For that gutless 1.8L, I'd call it a wash.

[MrH]

Best handling fwd car is totally a second place loser kind of trophy. Same with fastest fwd car around the ring, fastest fwd to 60, etc.

Honda made a much better car. It's called the s2000

[12,000 RPM]

ITR got the subjective best of a few important RWD cars too, including the E30 M3 and GT86 :whistle:

DOHC VTEC + double wishbones + LSD is a must do driving experience.

[Cookie Monster]

I would rather ITR over S2k.

Yes, I know what it says in my sig.

[12,000 RPM]

Depends on the S2K for me. AP2, maybe. AP1's weak low cam pissed me off. ITR is light enough that it kind of doesn't even matter.

[MrH]

There's only a 250 lb difference between the two really

[12,000 RPM]

Thats a lot for a car that weighs 2500lbs lol.

[12,000 RPM]

Weirdness.... front right rubs on hard right turns, but front left doesn't rub on hard left. I think the right has less negative camber than the right. Debating just going full negative with spacers up front

If I can find some time this weekend I'm gonna build a little wood oven to bake my headlights in. I need to get that shit done along with my bike's brake lines and coolant flush

Did your coilivers come with camber bolts as well as plates?

[12,000 RPM]

Did your coilivers come with camber bolts as well as plates?

No but they have a slot that lets them tilt up front. I like that because I would rather keep the stock top hats. Car is noisy enough as is

[CaminoRacer]

It's not too noisy until you have to wear earplugs on road trips.

I have to wear earplugs every time.

[CaminoRacer]

I have to wear earplugs every time.

Same here with the VW.

[12,000 RPM]

I have to wear earplugs every time.

This seems pointless, even for a purely track car.... all that noise sounds exhausting.....

My car has no muffler and I can cruise in silence.. Wtf did y'all do to your shit

[Cookie Monster]

No carpet, catless header and no sound insulation or black tar shit.

JFC why I am getting a headache just thinking about it

You should swap it into a Lumina and have the ultimate chick magnet.

You need more inline secks in your life.

[CaminoRacer]

You need more inline secks in your life.

Is that like a human centipede?

[68_427]

You need more inline secks in your life.

I drove an N52 equipped car in February for two weeks.  It was nice

Must be why you had to rebuild yours and why every used listing for an EJ has "omg needs headgaskets pls", right?

[68_427]

It builds character.  Like a good father figure

[12,000 RPM]

Or like an abusive spouse

[MrH]

Small price to pay to have the automotive relative of the best handling car ever on the spin.

I am a firm believer in the idea that racecars don't belong on the street.
