5gen lude vs. hatchback with b16 - Honda Prelude Forum

vector4 · 01-25-2003, 12:47 AM

guy had a i/h/e b16 in his hatch. i have '01 5sp i/e/test pipe/zex 65

our first race was from about a 30 roll no spray. I was in 2nd so he pulled a quick half a car b4 i hit vtec, we stayed that way til 90.

next race was another 30 roll but i sprayed. i pulled 4 cars buy 100.

next we raced from a stop. i sprayed and spun my tires in 2nd for 3 seconds will i watched him rape me. I pulled hard at the end but he was way ahead finished about 2 cars up. I've never broken traction that bad b4, I guess the 24 degrees outside did it. But that civic hooked up fine and took off, damn those things weigh nothing.

goes to show how many factors are in a race. i got beat by a car i pulled 4 cars on from a roll.

what year hatch was it? if it was around 92 than a b16 in it are pretty quick but the new ones are that light, still light than a prelude but not as light as the older hatches

Nice kill, what year was it?

I think it was a newer one. I'm not up to speed on civic hatches but it just looked like a newer cleaner bodystyle. Maybe late 90's? The guy bought the car, somebody else did the engine swap so he didn't know too much about it.

Oh, well good kill, regardless of what year it was... I can't believe you lost to him though from a stop... you should eat 'em up off the line...

nope i just sat still and spun through 1st, 2nd, then got traction in 3rd. I seriously just spun and didnt move. I've never had that happen, I can only attribute it to being on concrete (not asphalt) and it being 24 degrees.

You should've asked him to do it again, and just slipped the clutch a bit more... you didn't spray off the line did you?

vector4 · 01-25-2003, 07:12 PM

not off the line but i spray in 1st over 4k rpm.

couldnt run again, if you look at my post in the nitrous forum I bent my valves on that run.

Oh yeah, that was you! sorry man, I forgot all about that... so, what are you gonna do about it? Like I told you in the other thread, check and see if the block is salvageable... it'd save a lot of $.

It takes alot of skill to get off the line.

LUDE'Z · 01-25-2003, 10:17 PM

Damn that sucks you bent the valves. I bet if you didn't lose so much traction you would have had him.

PEOPLE WHO FORGET TO PUT THE JETTING IN ARE THE DEVIL!!!!

Varun, he only bent one valve, in the #4cylinder.

EDIT: 4 valves per cylinder. Sorry.
