[Drifte]

its like your asking for trouble...

go auto cross, that way you can go fast, and turn.

[Fate]

Auto-x is more fun. Living in Iowa is nice because we have MAM about 3 hours away from Cedar Rapids. Drag racing is fun too, but I have always preferreded autox / road course racing over drag racing. I don't know dink about a Honda's ability to handle though so I can't really comment on which would be a better choice for it to do..

[lil krumm]

*puts flame suit on*

why do you need a flame suit for auto-x? :)

[93mazdarx7]

I'd choose Auto-x over drag any day of the week personally. I think drag racing has become over-rated anymore.

[lil krumm]

true, but i would luv to fuck wiht all the gay ricers at my school. :P

[allgo]

Show me one fast honda from around here? I'm talking low 12's or faster to not 13s or 14s, I just couldnt believe I read fast and honda in the same sentence. Just kidding guys but If you truely wanted to go fast you wouldnt wast your time on a import, but the autocross question I really dont know because I dont do that!

[DJ0820]

I just couldnt believe I read fast and honda in the same sentence.

Where?

[allgo]

first post

[DJ0820]

technically they dont :?

[Ninesecsnake]

Why not have both, go fast straight and through the 90's.
Just a thought.

[krustindumm]

chassis setup is VERY different between the two.

[lil krumm]

so i'll set it up to go fast but still have good handling for the street.

[Ninesecsnake]

chassis setup is VERY different between the two.
Thats where the word "compromise" comes in.

[DustinsDuster]

Hondas kick serios ass in auto-x and they're good in drag.

im not gonna say anything :lol: :lol: :lol: ....

[rice-eat'n-stang]

you might as well make it for autocross cuz honda's arent fast enuf for road racing, and as far as drag racing goes it most likely wont make enuf power where your chassis setup will make much of a difference. If somehow you do end up making a little bit of power then the traction from a pair of slicks will be plenty for you either way... :lol:

[krustindumm]

not fast enough for road racing? what rock have you been under???

Look up the RealTime Racing RSX or Integra sometime.

Coimpromise does not work well for FWD cars. For auto-X the usual setup is stiff rear sway bar w/ light springs, and a light (or No) front sway bar with heavy springs.

For drag you want no front sway with light springs and VERY heavy rear springs.

That sure looks like some mustang road racing food to me. My guess is that would give you quite the run for your money in the quarter mile too.

[93mazdarx7]

NSXs are definitely a very solid platform, and lovely cars.

[lil krumm]

man i'm just gonna make it a drag car. When my car is done FAST and HONDA will be in the same sentence. :twisted:

[allgo]

GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!

[DJ0820]

!!!!

[lil krumm]

:?

[lil krumm]

i'm not sure what that last post was. i think i as tryin to say suntin about its gonna be fst or sumthin???? i dunno, uncle alchey payed me a visit.lol

[rice-eat'n-stang]

yeah Im sure that cars street legal too :lol: that does look like a fun drag race actually but something tells me it doesnt really have a chance since its probably geared to go 160 or better and wouldnt get out of the hole.. would be curious to see what the time and mph would be though. yeah and good luck on the "fast honda" turbo-X

there are several fast hondas here in DM. Several that have ran 12s and have slips to prove it.

hahaha

kent your silly just cuz dusting is making his go in a straight line quickly doesnt mean u will have the know how to do the same.

oh and auto X all the way Ill let u drive my Gti in the next one i go to in the CR area. autoX involves some skill other than just launching(and for the most part computers take care of the for u in drag now adays)

sweet i get to drive the gti :D i already drove the raddo so i dont know how much fun the gti will be

i can drive im a krumm god damn it. krustin doesn't count cause of his retarded driving he does once in a while and niether does drifte cause he hit a tree pulling into our drive way.........so i guess it just me.



waiting for them to get pissed at me................................................ ......

[Stro]

Just a suggestion Stg4 Rado you should take your car and get some numbers

just to have on hand

[Stro]

all kent ever really does is take off body parts or pull the suspension before he even knows what hes gonna replace it with. KENT its like double checking to see if you got toliet paper before you take a major shit!!!


no pun intended

[EvilWayz]

I'd choose Auto-x over drag any day of the week personally. I think drag racing has become over-rated anymore.

I think personally the problem lies in what you have drove/rode in, I highly doubt many people on this board have ridden in a 10 or even 11 second ride, not your buddies dsm that says he runs 11's but really doesnt, once you feel that torque and that speed of breakin into the 9's autocross comes second, just me.

~Chris

PS Think of this way, you dont autocross all the time, be halfway good at auto-x but be killer at the track, that way if your out rollin around you dont gotta get nervous when a new SS Camaro or Corvette rolls up.....know what I mean vern.

[Stro]

although auto cross does give you a good view on how good your first 3 gears are. 86 gti about 40 in second.

hey every thing i doe has a purpose. but i cant continue wut i was doing because drifte broke his car and had to take mine!!!!!!!!!

[Otakuguy]

I personally like autocrossing. Played too much Gran Turismo 3 LOL.

Drag Racing is great, but the adrenaline rush you get from dragging is nowhere as long as an autocross run (think, 10-15 seconds compared to 1-2 minutes)
I guess what it all comes down to is personal preference I guess.

[krustindumm]

Drag Racing is great, but the adrenaline rush you get from dragging is nowhere as long as an autocross run (think, 10-15 seconds compared to 1-2 minutes)

being able to finish a standing start quarter mile in under 15 seconds is a pipe dream for 90% of this board.

[DJ0820]

i hear that krustindumm likes to dress in drag

[Ricky]

i have driven both the raddo and the gti and i have to say they are both just as fun! the raddo is fast and really cool and the gti is jst cool caz of it being old school and quick, o did i say that the gti corners like crazy it is really fun to auto-X!!! thanks tyler

[Ricky]

86 gti = 40 in 2ed? that is wrong because i have auto-x it and i was doing 60 to 65 in 2ed!

[lil krumm]

1g honda crx= king of auto-x
2g honda crx= royalty

[Stg4raddo]

ok idk why every budy is bashing on hondas capabilites...

hondas when set up are killer in autox also when built they are also very fast.. and streetable at the same time :goodman: not many domestic guys can drive around the street with a sub ten sec car on pump gas

[Ricky]

if you do a honda right it will hold its one with no porblem. just like any other car!

[DJ0820]

It seems that Chris got a little insecure and started bashing on Honda's. He probably got beat by one.

so... is that an auto-X or drag? come on u 2

[krustindumm]

aight, this is getting old, see the new rules for this forum

[Ricky]

thanks dustin!

[Drifte]

lol that shit is hilarious.

[Ricky]

i remember when it was first posted. so kent how did that fast honda come out... i forget what ended up happening...

[lil krumm]

i bought a truck

[Drifte]

wasnt it a d15b2 mini me swap tho? plenty quick. finally got that 5spd in it too, forgot bout all that work.

shit you put on a new head, timed it , rewired it, put on new half shafts, 5spd trans, and new clutch. sadly 60% of the people on here cant even do that.

[lil krumm]

sh*t you put on a new head, timed it , rewired it, put on new half shafts, 5spd trans, and new clutch. sadly 60% of the people on here cant even do that.


yea, but it never got the mini me swap, which would have completed it. the head is still sitting on my workbench

[Ricky]

ummmmm ok. still auto cross all the way hahhahahhahahhahha

[lil krumm]

my truck will smoke you bitches in auto-x!!! it handles amazing for a 4000lbs truck!!!!!!!! just need less sidewall and more wheel underneath it.

[Ricky]

ok set up a road corse and i will drive it and you drive it. then we will see who will win. jetta doesnt do too bad. i wish it was stiffer but o well. i dont want my winter tires on when we do this either. im gona smoke you. most of it is the driver too yeah know.

[Drifte]

that truck is barely shorter than a limo, so good luck kent.

[lil krumm]

he said road course, not autox. eric i got some roads for us :)

[Ricky]

gravel roads? what kind of roads we talking about?

[Drifte]

i assume he wont race till his 20's are on so it will corner without so much rollover.

[lil krumm]

ohh ill smoke your ass on any gravel roads around here, i know them way to well.

[Drifte]

i'll beat you too.

[Ricky]

i dont want gravel i was just making sure its not. i want PAVEMENT baby

[Stro]

Fuck it. We're all going to run a Rally course, gravel to pavement to river to gravel and hills like none other. It'll be a blasty blast. I want kent to be my navigator/spotter.

id rather drive myself, i cant shout thing out as fast as i can react with my hands.

[Drifte]

its gonna cost a lot to run those things. but I'd give em a try, go for the stiffer ones tho. not as efficient mpg wise but very close.
