Yes we ran Honda's back in the day...

Nothing wrong with that!

They were the fastest cars back then. I had a CRX that ran a 12.8 on the quarter all motor (no turbo no nos) on street tires.

I got the car at the junkyard salvage title (theft recovery). So it was already stripped down. No radio, passenger seat, no carpet, dash etc.

It was ugly though. It had a blue fender on the right, a black fender on the left, a fiber glass hood and the car was red. We called it the quarter mile pile hahaha.

I made so much money with it at the races hahaha.

Sense then I've been driving trucks. I just sold my Chevy avalanche.

Now that I've got money I want to upgrade to rear wheel drive, six speed, six banger and maybe turbo it out too.

I was going to build the motor on the CRX and turbo it out but all the cops in the area knew my car and I had to get rid of it fast.

I've got some funny pictures of it (quarter mile pile) if you want to see them hahaha...


Anyway if you know anyone in SoCal that has a silver,yellow or blue 2006 for sale let me know.

 

Go to the SOCAL for sale section. There are a few Z's for sale right now.

 

hey man i'm in hb, too. which gym do you train at?

good luck on finding a Z...if you find a killer deal on a base model, and get a superior aftermarket LSD and have hookups to a cheap/free install, i say go for it. but if you're mostly just gonna drive around town..it might be easier to just start off with something other than the base model.

 

I like the name of the car - quarter mile pile. How long ago is "back-in-the-day"? I'm curious to know when 12.8 was the fastest car around, though that is respectable for a gutted beater. Do yourself a favor - if you get a 350 and F/I it, spend the $ and run 100 octane. The 91 octane we have here in CA is the worst. I've seen MANY an F/I 350 blow up, some of them multiple times.

 

I train at Huntington Beach Ultimate Training Center

You should come down and train with us.

 

Back in like 1993. Mostly street races. I ran it a couple of times at the track (Terminal Island in Long Beach) just to see my time.

For the track we took the vw bug to the track mostly, they're the fastest.

 

The thread I wrote up a long time ago actually pretty much explained what you were looking for:

https://my350z.com/forum/2512021-post11.html

I am in the process of updating it now to include 2007-2008 information.

 

according to the following

my Base 350z has lsd diff determined by using the wheelspin method when lifted off the ground. (they both turn in one direction).???????

 

Aftermarket I would assume.

 

my car came with the VSLD. I bought it with 40k miles and now it has 50k miles. I haven't tracked the car yet, but I drive pretty aggressively and the VSLD has stopped working over last couple thousand miles. You might as well look for a better aftermarket solution.

 

C'mon! 12.8 in a CRX,all motor, back around 93'?

 

Are you doubting that that's possible?

 

Because it certainly isn't. I've run some civics that take me off the line for the first 0-70 or so sprint, after that it's game over though.

 

Yes! 93' or earlier CRX's could do 12.8 maybe in a freefall off of a cliff...but certainly not with "all motor."

 

There certainly aren't any modded civics on the road that are faster than Z's

I'm guessing none of you guys have ever been friends with a honda fanboi?


EDIT > sorry to derail this thread

 

He's claiming back in 1993 he was doing this. Your link above has a motor swap with a motor that wasn't available in 1993. I am not disputing the fact that this is not possible today. I am saying that it is highly improbable that the poster (BJJ) didn't do it. Hell, just look at the questions in his posts. Do you really think that he accomplished this back in 1993? Getting in the 12's in the quarter is quite a feat for any car even these days.

 

That particular engine was just an example. Built b18s have existed well before that motor was born. I'm sure you knew that, though.

 

But who would want to mod a Civic anyway.

 

haha, sorry, meant certainly is* woops, seems like I started a small war. I'm with you all the way FineWine, haha.
