[cb7rid3r]

bro if those are the only mods u have im sorry to break it to u but that SI is going to spank u!! the only way u can woop his ass is with a H22 or a fully built F22..or u can just get a bottle and spray on his ass!!!

does me racing the sedan or coupe make a difference?
he wants the sedan btw
and i think a stock civic si coupe runs 15's on the track, i dont remember the exact number...

the si sedan pulls as good as a coupe.

i raced a 07 si sedan on the freeway, he had a full exhaust and intake. and i have a full exhaust and intake, and he took me like i was nothing, but i remained to keep up with him.

you raced him on the freeway, im planning to race my friend at a 1/4 mile track
hopefully it results differently?
because the civic has to rev up pretty high compared to my car

Either way you are going to lose. The coupe is heavier. So yea...

[b3nsonx]

nooo!
how about a fully rebuilt engine, forged pistons, forged connecting rods, titanium retainers, air/fuel controller, control module, MSD sport compact ignition box, skunk2 throttle body, throttle body spacer, 5 speed transmission swap, aftermarket flywheel, short shifter, aftermarket springs, shocks, racing seats, pulley kit, and cam gear....all on top of my current mods

will this mind blowing list of mods be enough to take down the SI?

[wrichards2005]

No, that sounds like enough to take down an EX or LX to me. Even that would be a close race.

Agreed half of those mods arent even "mods". Forged pistons and whatever...Not even specific on what you are looking for so in other words no.

[b3nsonx]

forged pistons are lighter and stronger than stock pistons
i read that they perform better at higher RPM's compared to stock pistons.
like since they're lighter, they will move faster and with effort on the engine

doesn't that = more power?

[boosted4life]

also you have got the si lsd to contend with so he will defienly jump you off the line and then keep pulling

just get yourself a "GSR" with bolt on's!

LOL! I think it is funny that everyone thinks the Si will be unstoppable. I hate to be the realist here, but it is a high 14 low 15 second car stock. Hardly, unbeatable. A 35 shot on a bone stock Accord would give it a good run. I think everyone is forgetting that below 5K the Accord will own the Si. More displacement, more torque.

As far as a GSR with bolt ons...LOL! I kept up with a few of those in a bolt on auto Accord.

Bottomline, if the kid doesn't drive very well, it could be a good race. Stock vs stock, or mild bolt on vs mild bolt on, the Si will win, if the drivers are equal. But driver is a majority of the equation.

Bolt on Si's have also been known to shave almost 1 second off thier times. Also if you really think about it, the difference between a 16 or so second car and a 15 second or so car is not that much.

When my car was stock, I kept right next to a modded 1999-2000 Civic Si until 70MPH when I hit 3rd gear. Then he pulled pretty good. He ran about 1-1.5 seconds faster, but he was only a few car lengths ahead passing 80mph. He kept looking over his shoulder because he couldn't understand it.

That car will still have problems with keeping up.

Yea but just saying forged whatever doesnt tell anyone crap. Yea forged internals are stronger but you werent specific enough to mention anything so still the answer is no without further info.

I remember a dude on HT with an SI. Just got it threw header/exhaust/kpro as I recall threw on a pair of slicks and ran a 13.9. I just remember it was reddish but that was impressive.

[Grumpys93]

with your current mods you are making no more then 115whp i say this because i dynoed with intake full custom exhaust 2.5 piping header back and i only made 109 whp. I didn't have an aftermarket header just a stock 4-1 header. But ya take off the 17s when you go to the track and put steelies on weight will go down. But like everyone said if he is a crappy shifter then ya you have a good chance. It is very easy to miss 2nd and 3rd. I use to do it all the time and still do it sometimes.
