that would explain why its kingston rd, dundas, and king street



many roads are "hwys" actually all roads are highways...
the 401 = freeway

thats right

i was gonna say that but you beat me too it

most main streets are actualy highways...

401, 400, 427 and so on are all freeways....


ever learn something new and then remember saying something before you knew this new piece of information and feel stupid..... well this might be one of those times for a few of you..



as for street racing..... when you die can i have whats left of your car??? I don't know very much about cars but atleast what will be left of your car when yoru done with it will be in better hands when your gone hahaha

your "upgraded" suspension is NOT better than his stock suspension.

the BMW 325 will eat ur civic EASILY. You have a stock civic putting out 106hp? With 106 torque..... lol. At least have a B16 or B18 before you even think that you will stand a chance.

WRONG!

Sorry bud, but everyone here will agree a lowered car bounces MORE, not less.

doesnt it depend on the suspention - one of my cars is lowered and the other one isnt - the lowered one bounces less- just drives stiffer.

a lowered car will not make your car go faster-

just handles better due to point of gravity being lower- nothing else- your bouncingness of your wheels and skipping is effected by lsd and by sway bars- you dont have an lsd in your civic therefore your wheels will jump around all the time when hitting bumps and **** while accelerating.

the new civic is going to have lsd - the same one from ctr- buy that and then you will be able to smoke the bmw- new civic type r- 200 hp - 2.2 engine - lsd , bremo brakes, 4 piston calipers.

its going to be a great car.

will put all civics from prev gens in the dust.

A stiff suspension will bounce once in a dip on a Hwy. A
stock suspension will bounce a few times before it settles.

stiffer spring rates help with handling.... lol at only because of lower center of gravity.

Me and my buddy get into our tonka jeeps and do it on the sidewalk y0 !


I got mine running at 24volts now ! BEAT THAT ! All those idiots runing 12V when they can be running 24V like me ! This one time a guy pulled up to me in his jeep start rev'in his 12V motor and I laugh and rev'd mine, u can even hear the amps just running thru that motor, WHOA. He still wanted to go so I gave it and my 24V just pulled away, 3 meters down the street, I was ahead of him by 2 Jeep lengths ! Wow, I smoked him. We pulled up to the next stop sign after, and asked what I had done, then I told him and pelled off with my Toyo plastic tires y0 !


BEAT THAT !

THe bmw v6 will smoke u anytime. U can't really race a 4 cyl and a V6. My d16z6 engine will only be quick at the head start until it reaches like 60 and then any V6 will smoke my hatch. I'd suggest u not to race. Tell your buddy bmw sucks too.

Stop spreading misinformation as fact. First off, it's a 2.0L engine, not a 2.2. Second, I guarantee you that the production SiR will not have brembo brakes like the concept version did. Thirdly, we won't be getting a CTR.... bet on it.

my uncle works for honda- they have 3 of them up there- aliston- security is tight and they are all taped up but im sure they will come with options on it like the bremo brakes- it will cost a lot of money but it will be there- and yes we are getting the ctr- lucky us- honda took a beating when they didnt take the civic coupe and offered more power with the dohc engine.

Its a Straight-6..........STRAIGHT-6!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And I don't know what your talking about buddy. alot of V6's are dog's. There mad slow. They only got torque off the line. There done after 60. Think about all those boat grand am's and Grand prix's. A stock EG Si with a couple of Bolt on's could MURDER alot of the V6's out there. Its not about the Size of the Engine it come's down to Power to Weight ratio and the Launch.
