SS/SC Vs EF Hatch
Last night I was headed over to the GFs and a Red EF Hatch (89-91 Civic Hatchback) merged on to the freeway and got next to me... It actually looked pretty decent... Had a real mellow body kit... What I think was a tanabe exhaust... 18" wheels... So we were just driving side by side for about a mile doing 75mph... Finally I just looked over at him and downshifted into 3rd.... He downshifted and off we went... I was REALLY suprised....
All the way to the top of 3rd I couldnt get away from him... we just sat side by side... Then part way through 4th we were still side by side... then he had to shift (I swear he was in the same gear the whole time but he may of shifted once more before then... I was more concerned with what I was doing).... I put about 2 car lengths on him and shut down at 130ish... Then we got side by side again, waved and went our seperate ways as the off ramps were coming up... It was pretty cool... I didnt hear a turbo or sc so he must of had a swap with some bolt ons.... because Ive raced a couple of integras and an SI with just a couple of minor bolts ons and just completely wax'd um...
It was cool... I got really worried in 3rd there for a second because I absolutely could not pull away... Thank goodness for the PsiFi kit !

There was a red june bug (WHAT- that's what they look like) that did a Type R swap. And Holy jesus would that kid all ass. He tore the engine up because he didn't understand the concept of redlining - what I waste......

Sounds like a b16 swap. My friends brother has a civic with nothing (no AC, no power steering, nothing) that is light as hell and moves pretty good with that swap. A pull from third left us almost dead even. From 2nd I'd destroy him though.

lol they are easy to underestimate... my friend almost got embarassed in his STi (stock) when he raced a b20 hatch with I/H/E +cams it was side by side from 10 mph up to about 115 then we started pulling.

Try hitting the Pavillions on Saturday (afternoon/early evening) or hit the Sonic @ 35th & Union Hills around 10:30~11:00pm Saturday night...

Yea, "the place" keeps moving around. Ppl used to meet up @ 19th & Bell (I think ppl still do, just not the same ppl )
I was at the Sonic from about 11:00 'till midnight or so. Lots of different cars driving through and some interesting scenes on the road. I saw a Viper drive by (just cruising) and a whole heard of bumble-bee-fart-can-Honduh's chasing after him... it was funny they were busting ass just to keep up with him and he was practically idling away from the light.
BTW, I found a crack in my intercooler shortly after I took you for a ride... I got the intercooler fixed, and now (without changing any settings) it blows the tires off the car in 3rd... I used to be able to count on 3rd hooking up good. Sat night I raced a 750cc bike (1997 Sportbike of some kind) three times. Twice he got a good launch and I got such a crappy one that he jumped about 5 cars or more in front and stayed there. The one time I got a decent launched, hooked & passed him in 3rd and put around 2 cars on him by 120ish. On the crappiest of launches, I roasted the tires @ 1/2 throttle in 1st & 2nd, hammered it in 3rd thinking it would hook up and it instantly hit the rev limiter w/ tires smokin'. 1/8 mile long burnout... roasting the 245's all the way to ~90mph.

BTW, where did you take it?
There's only two places in town that I'll go to. Arizona Dyno Chip (near I-17 & Ray Rd) Mental Addiction (near Broadway & Country Club). Kieth @ Az Dyno Chip really knows how to tune cars, a very bright guy, highly recommended.
