August 4, 200421 yr i just drove my rx up and down the street (with out tags aswell), and wow, it is very quick, even bone stock and full of tools, parts, trash and a floor jack. all of this and the gas in the tank is roughly 6 years old. i cant wait to see how fast it will be when i get the td04 and intercooler put in. its gunna be a moster. hondas beware!!
August 4, 200421 yr Yes, they are fun But be prepared to get your rump roast handed to you by any honda thats not a bottom of the line 20 year old POS
August 4, 200421 yr no...18 year old...and LIGHTER than your POS. And probably faster, given the current state of my POS PS.. will probably be ordering some stuff from you in the next week or so.
August 4, 200421 yr I'll race ya. j/k When my interests fall back from the trail to the street again, I'd love to build a RX.
August 4, 200421 yr Yes, they are fun But be prepared to get your rump roast handed to you by any honda thats not a bottom of the line 20 year old POS Fact, my daugthers 1991 Civic Si, stock except for the air intake and exhaust, is much faster than my built Brat and my stock Legacy turbo wagon.
August 4, 200421 yr Fact, my daugthers 1991 Civic Si, stock except for the air intake and exhaust, is much faster than my built Brat and my stock Legacy turbo wagon. That must hurt a bit :-\. The civic si has 110hp and weighs 2200lbs I think, so I guess it would have the edge. The si is a bit of a special case though. Not representative of all POS hondas :-p
August 5, 200421 yr Author you also have to realize that honda civics only have like crap for torque. they dont even have enough torque to get outtat thier own way. on a side note, ive been in a modded Si, nowhere near the accelleration i experianced this morning.

I have owned stock and modded Subaru turbo's. They went OK, don't get me wrong. But...they are not muscle cars by any means. The gearing sucks and without mods they are just commuter cars.
August 5, 200421 yr Ok, thats enough. Mine is NOT a POS...and its one of the fastest on the board. Top 5 i say. (in EA82T category with a stock turbo)
August 5, 200421 yr Mine was in the top 10.. now just getting it on and off the trailer is a brutal task for the motor Headed to the top 5 soon
August 5, 200421 yr Ahem...Qman, the only times I see you in it, is when your trying to find out whats wrong with it But seriously, for a Honda its pretty quick. And loud. I find it hard to believe that your Turbo Legacy cant keep up with it :-\ But back to topic. When $ flow gets better for me, I will be doing a few things to "Sid" to make it a tad more quicker. Will, better get on the ball. You too Caleb.
August 5, 200421 yr You guys are giving me a great idea for an event… The USMB Old School Subaru Shootout Just imagine all the top guys on the board get together to put up or shut up. Maybe a three event format, ¼ Mile, AutoX and RallyX, with individual and overall honors. Whatta ya think... maybe at WCSS7? Gary
August 5, 200421 yr Fact, my daugthers 1991 Civic Si, stock except for the air intake and exhaust, is much faster than my built Brat and my stock Legacy turbo wagon. Faster than a Legacy turbo? Really? That sounds kinda unlikely to me...
August 5, 200421 yr Qman must have forgotten he had the back loaded with BRAT parts, and he had a trailer hooked up to it with more BRAT parts on the trailer....that's why the Legacy Turbo couldnt quite edge past the Honda....

August 5, 200421 yr Its on the wrong coast for me. But im "fruity" enough to do it....as someone told me today. No one will let me drive an STi. I dont get it. They all think I will wreck it.
August 6, 200421 yr Author wjm, i dont think they will let you drive the sti cause you will prolly just raise the bar for the rest of us. i love the idea of a shoot off, but as in the case of the east caost, its the east coast. when i am done ill be posting numbers and results from the "ghetto sti". it should kcik some mighty something or other. now i just need money to finish it.
