Generally it's the ones with all the feral wings and crap on them and ugly-ass chomies that are about as speedy as a ride on..

Give them a run and I think we all know what the outome would be..

The understated ones dripping in carbon fibre and Volk, Rays or Buddy Club rims, stripped out interiors.. JDM Yo!.. these are the ones you probably dont want to run against, as quite often you'll find a worked B16A, B18C or even a K series donk under the bonnet..

They might not be everyones cup of tea, but I've got lots of respect for these N/A FWD monsters...

Agreed mate, there are some serious sleeper hondas.

S2000's are sweet too.

well my brother has a Honda Civic, with a carbon fibre bonnet and all.. haahahah, I absolutely burn him every day about it, its a 96 model, but it has the 2000 model Type-R engine in it with a V-tec controller full exhaust etc.. and it will pretty much absolutely destroy all you N/A liberty's..

The B4 was no match though, I embarrassed him easily.

The VTEC isn't as fabulous as its hyped up to be. All the honda lovers will tell you it'll rip up a rexy. I dunno what rexy they're comparing it to. One with a busted turbine perhaps? :Dntknw:

You will find an S2000 driven by a good driver, will make it very very difficult for a wrx to sneak away. Especially around corners.

My B4 is no match for the S2K around the twisties. Having possibly the best six speed gearbox in any production car doesn't hurt either.

There is a pretty major difference between the VTEC in a civic and the S2000 engine isn't there?

Honestly can't answer that one mate. Probably the same system, tuned differently?

I don't think the civics rev to 9 grand, so it would have to be different.

my mate had one of the later CRX and that thing would give almost any suby a run through the hills,chipped ECU B16, 9000 redline and 9200 limiter VTEC Yo from 5500 it would fly. no match in a straight line for my gtb but through the hills i could pedal it faster than the gtb.

it got rear ended in a pileup a few months later...

Shame it has green wheels and is ugly up the wazoo. No point driving a fast car if you break down and cry every time you see it in the driveway IMO :comando:

Re: any1 been done by a honda?

I used to have a Honda Euro, a few of my mates also have Honda Civics etc.. unless there's been serious work under the hood eg turbo, none of them will get the best of a wrx or a liberty gt.

In the wet my mate just gave up when i pulled up next to him at the lights xD

However, taking into consideration of the S2000, in a straightline it won't win, it will catch up and make up for it in the turns tho with the handling.. it will be interesting to see what the new generation S2000 will be capable of due in the next year or so, it's been fitted with the new Civic Type-R engine, and will be a smaller lighter roadster to compete against the Mazda MX-5

I haven't had much problems with prelude vti-r's on the road either or the integra vti-r and type-r's, even the integra type-s

the vtec hondas are just a bit more rev happy then a normal gli..

I laugh if i see a civic cxi give it a go.. lol

This thead is teh funny. A guy at work has a genuine EK9 Civic Type R and with a few mods that little NA 1.6L will destroy STis and R33s at the lights. Sub-900kg weight with over 130kW @ wheels...

My Gen1 has no problem dusting NA B-series Hondas. K-series and turbo Hondas are a different matter though.

Riiiiiiiiiiiight. Ever thought that instead of adding power, you take weight out? That's where a lot of the Honda charm comes from: they are so light they can move like no heavy turbocharged lump could. Guys with lightweight Hondas laughs at Subes like Sube drivers laugh at V8s...

800kg EG Civic + K20A = WRX-killer

No. VTEC is VTEC. There is a difference between the motor in the S2000 (F20C) and the Civic's B16A/B16B/B18C.
