Congratulations! As for trading in your Honda..... Congratulations!

Peace, and boxiness foreva.

 

A lot of people ask about this, but maybe I just have eagle vision or something. . .
it is NOT that hard if you know what to look for, especially with cars that have brake lights on the rear window, on the parcel shelf.

Try it at night and you will see what I mean. If you are on a level road, and especially if the other car and yours both don't have any tint (tint will make it harder to see), you can see the rear window glow up when they apply their brake. Especially at close distances of 1-2 car lengths, it's EASY. If you can't see it, you might need glasses or something. . .
. . . but I will admit, when you are racing, it's kinda idiotic to be looking at the car behind you, rather than paying attention to the road. But it's hard not to glance over every few seconds to see your progress.

Now if their brake light is on the lid of the bumper (a la tC) or on the roof, it is much much harder to see the glow.

 

Man the hostility!! A car is a car and if it is yours no matter what brand you're probably proud of it. As far as racing goes, you win some you loose some.

I bought my xA for the gas mileage because my other two vehicles gulp the gas. Thats probably due to my heavy foot! :D

I'm going to fix the xA up just like my other cars actually I'm buying another one! LOL

I'm giving the one I have now to my girl and I'm buying a black one. But I'm putting a Blitz supercharger in mine. Shhhhhhhh..don't tell her or she'll have my ****!! :D

 

nice kill.....but damn people, enough with the ignorance for other car companies. don't get me wrong, i see it a lot too. but, guess what? you just bought into the replacement for honda's in the ricer scene. until honda steps up to the plate, scion seems to have the new ricer market cornered. i just read an article, some company came out with a turbo for the new 1.7L civic, under 3 grand, and it puts 167 or so to the wheels, and if you upgrade to the bigger snail, it says 300 to the wheels. smoky burnouts...mmmmm. anyways, ignorant hating is rice

"there are only two things i can't stand in this world, people who can't tolerate other cultures, and the dutch."
Austin's Dad baby, yeah.

the civics that pick on you at a light usually get smoked...

the civics that get picked on at a light, usually will smoke you...

...coming from a former civic(s) owner...

 

ancient thread!

Yeah I got nothing against civics. . . but I am against anything too extremely rice it's painful. . . you know what I mean.

But I like all cars, even Honda's. But all of you know that there are some bastard Civic owners who think their ebay exhaust makes them the fastest cars on the planet.

I never pic on Civics, but I'll fight back if somebody gives me a dirty look or picks on me. Childish yes, but last I check I got me twig n berries. . .

Btw, I've stomped many a civic. . . mostly in my old car. The day I learned not to pick on the little guy was when I picked on a very stock looking HB. Let's say he pulled on me HARD and I was already goin 135mph. Civic's can be VERY fast.

 

I got a funny story for all of you guys. I got off the highway today going to my friends house, and when you get off there is a lane on the right to pass everyone. Well i get in the lane, and the light in front me me happens to be red (normaly is green). I pull up next to an oldmobile with a 50-65 year old guy in it. The light turns green and i go quikly to get by him, and the old guy punched the gas and raced me to 70!!. I was keeping up the whole time. His stupid 6 didn't beat me. I was laughing really hard. It made my day.

 

wow... an unmodded xa beating up on a civic.... WTF? i thought the common enemy were domestics and the like... now its import against import?? on a totally different tho... i have a double kill story of my own... me killing an eclipse with my xa... and me killing my xa with that same eclipse... both were unmodded at the time and my bud and i constantly swapped between cars to really see who's car was faster... i never found that answer... because no matter what car i got in... i would beat him 10 for 10 everytime... sure... anyone can get behind the wheel of a 1000HP car... but only a few can drive it a 1/4 mile w/o hitting anything... oh... and i still think my xa was faster, tho he disagrees...

 

100% agreed. I don't drive a Civic, but usually ppls tempt me to race him/her (not the xA). Hmmm, wait...I did have an EG hatch before...was thinking to do SiR-II conversion and sleeper look, but totally killed by a domestic car running a red light.

Nonetheless, nice kill...but a bit off topic: street race sucks.

 

honestly...the only reason everyone seems to hate on civics is because they are a dime a dozen...i was going to purchase an 04 si but decided not to be like everyone else...i love my xa but you got to admit it lacks the power some of us are use to...but to be able to beat a civic with our 1.5 makes us happier drivers...____ i would be happy, but i wont be completely happy until i can pull at least 160hp out of my xa...butn thats just my 2 cents. congrats on the kill...

 

Power-to-weight owns.

 

I've killed many Civics, Eclipse, Neons, PT Luzers and a ton of other small 4 bangers. Of couse this was in my wife's MPV Minivan. Those silly boys just think a minivan can be fast stock. :D It's fun to beat those guys at a light only to have my 5 year old wave to them as we pass by.

And as for displacement... my last car had a 1.3L engine in it and ran a 14.8 at Atco Raceway. And this was stock. It was an RX8. :D

 

What year MPV? I drove a mid 90's one and it kinda ____ed me off. . . but the new MPV's look real nice.

A lot of modern day minivan's are decent performers. . . the Odyssey has 240hp and will downright whoop most 4 bangers and SUV's!

 

It's a 2003 with the bigger V6 200hp and 205 lbs/ft. It was faster (in a straight line) than my 02 Mini Cooper with the 115hp engine with a 5 speed.

It's great to see that "I can't believe I lost to a Minivan" look on the vitims face.

 

yeah. . . the new MPV's are a huge step up from what they had in the early 90's!
