Came across this on a Honda forum. Someone said he was probably at about 17,000 rpm. $$$ down the drain!!!

Yeah that does suck, I guess it's running some kind of special transmission that I have no knowledge of.
Do what, run 9's/10's? Well it's not too expensive and there are endless options for Hondas. Plus they way next to nothing. One of my friends in Kansas City, who's also helping me out and giving me his 44mm Tial WG for cheap, has a shop by downtown. He's had a couple 9/10 second daily drivers. They don't look like that one though, they look 100% stock on the outside.

Come on you don't have 9 second daily driver. You have 9 seconds punishment with a license plate maybe  not possible on the road...

He's my ex girlfriend's brother and when I first went to her house, he had a 92 Civic Sedan parked in front of their house, that looks 100% stock from behind. Then I noticed fat tires and intercooler up front. Daily driver 10 second beast. Of course at that time he didn't have a shop at the time so now that he does, he's got some other 'milder' setups to d.d. Last edited by comtrang; 02-12-08 at 10:13 PM.

Yeah, there's something about the shifter not being gated. Also, something about a dogbox gearset and faceplate engagement I have no idea what those are but anyway...1st, 2nd, 1st.

I think I understood you right...
His first major, personal build was in the 10's, his second Civic hatch was in the 9's.

Seriously, if I may, why a honda? Buy a nicer, better engineered vehicle and you'll probly spend less overall on a superior end result!
Sorry, but the rice in my area is so domineering that I sometimes let slip something bigoted. -cm

i think the appeal of the japanese cars is all the off-the-shelf parts. we here in saab world like to be original, so one-off parts suit us best.
and we can't stand being surrounded by japenese cars and american suvs on the roads (at least i can't).

I've never owned a Honda but I'm half asian and all my Vietnamese friends are Honda Honda Honda Honda Subaru Nissan. I wouldn't say you'd spend less, though. When cars get to the point of 9/10 second quarter miles, I doubt luxury and comfort is the first thing in mind  .
