Chase's Car, Take it for what its worth..

[ChaseR]

Don't mind the rock chips, the car gets repainted next week. I also decided to make a new thread, I think the other thread was dead.. Also I took the Move Over banner off today, I just had it on there for a road trip. Comment away folks.

[Civic Accord Honda]

looks good
u should of left the sticker on tho lol

[russiankid]

Nice but the car is new and already new paint...

[forrest89sei]

Looks Good

[88Accord-DX]

After you get it re-painted, put a bra on it for 100 mph highway riding. What you give for it, about 19k?

[ChaseR]

^ as in what did I pay for the car? $22,000

[SZfiftyfour]

Sweet. I like the new civics, they look pretty good blacked-out too. nice ride man. If i had one i would do it the same way except with a chrome rimmed(lip) wheel and i'd put this grille in with a smaller H, off-set, about where your Si emblem is.

[SQ is the SQUAD]

that actually the first coupe of that gen that i can say i like. the 4rd are a lil better, but you get the thubs up

[86ccord]

i love your car.. exept.. im not to sure about the Red Honda H emblem in the front and back.. idk.. maybe its just me.. but anywho.. i love you car.. what size rims you got on it? those arnt stock are they?

[itzdave]

:thumbup:DAMN!!! so sexy... except for maybe the HUGE red H on the front. maybe a black one? i love the blacked out look tho:thumbup:

[ChaseR]

Yeah I want a Black H for the front, im eventually going with no H in the back.. It will be flush

[knarg]

how did you shave the other emblems off the rear?

[frantik]

i say no H for the front and a black & silver one for the back

[Pico]

Looking Sexy :thumbup:

[MessyHonda]

nice car but what about the 3gee

[coope]

X2 but the power to weight ratio sucks in tho cars but thats a sexy car

[ChaseR]

^ how does the power to weight Ratio suck?

[wprocomp]

looks good man-I would go for some diff wheels&tires though

[MessyHonda]

stock weight is 2945

so 197hp/2945=.0668


and the 3gee sport is

160(jdm b20) / 2700=.0592

120/2700=.0444


so our hp to weight sucks.

[ChaseR]

Im pretty sure the 06/07 Si coupe is 2880lbs, but your close... Either way even the "B20" JDM accord wouldn't stand a chance against a new Si... And even though your .668 number may look like it sucks, explain how I can walk on Cadillacs with Northstar V8's and pull on Supercharged Cobalts?

[labeledsk8r]

i still see a stock civic with a body kit or as you might want to say lip kit, lol its clean for stock though

[labeledsk8r]

my bad, dont get all upset lol. well ok it looks ok for a modded car, i still think there ugly.. but thats my opinion

[ChaseR]

^ Na man im good, I'm just having a conversation... And I think its gorgeous you think its ugly, I like Brunettes and you like blondes.. We all have our opionions and Im cool with aht.

[2oodoor]

Megan or Mugen? anyway it looks good for what it is. Any car looks good triple black IMO.
I dont know why but I am sitll with no ends on this style Civic. I see one that looks ok then the next one just doesnt look right to me. I think it is because a few other carmakers came out with a similar design a few years earlier, the designs did'nt flow out for me yet, then Honda put this car out. I kinda like the sedans profile better.
Good job on the car though ChaseR,

[AccordB20A]

actually i think it looks cool. Better than the new toyotas you can buy these days

[ChaseR]

Thanks man

[Blue Impact]

Nice car, Chase. I've never really liked the new Si coupes, but yours is by far one of the nicest I've seen.

Thats a real nice civic Chaser, you've done a real good job with it. The lip kit and wheels really finish it off.


Very Nice!

[Tomisimo]

I can admit that is a stupid argument but he is right, just watch this video
CivicType-R new vs old topgear EP3 FN2 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKcShDTYb4Q&feature=related)
I know that is not the same civic but its made on the same chassis as a European Civic-Rover... LoL <-- on this video..

i lol'd

[ChaseR]

^ What are you talking about? What does the Type R battle above have anything to do with the USDM Si?

[2ndGenGuy]

The US Civic Si is nothing like that rubbish UK Civic Type-R Eggmobile. The UK version has electric power steering and a solid rear axle. The US version has traditional hydraulic power steering and independent rear suspension. I don't even consider that UK Type-R to be a Honda. Our Si is more closely related to the JDM Type-R, and is in-fact built on the same chassis. As you will see in this video the JDM / USDM version is far superior, mainly due to handling:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZVtFPnIZ6Q

[ChaseR]

actually 2ndgenguy, The USDM Si does have Electronic Assisted Power Steering.

[2ndGenGuy]

What?! Eeew! I like my road feel thank you very much. Even if that means feeling the road at very low speeds comparatively... ;) Sounds like you need some JDM hydraulic power steering swap goodness. ;) :wave:

The UK Type-R is still rubbish!

I'm absolutely agree ^^^ first of all its a build at MG/Rover factory.. That new civic is hideous car.. every time I see it on a street I want to kick it...

Ya know I think the Chassis Rigidty high spring rates and Hard Dampening make up for whatever the Electronic power steering takes away. It really is a fine handling car you would have to drive one to understand, Or better yet a modified one.

[2ndGenGuy]

Don't get me wrong, I would totally love one. I really do like the design of the new Civics, and I'm sure they did a better job than Nissan with the electric power steering. I just know that driving the new Sentra SE-R is like playing a video game.

[89l_x_i]

Have you gone or do you go to the wednesday meets at speed factory? I think i might have seen your car there or at least one that looks a hell of alot like yours.

[snoopyloopy]

hmmm. looking good and clean as always. although i really don't like the new civics all that much, especially not the coupes. and with that mod list, i'd hope you can more than just pull on the s/c cobalt ss.

[ChaseR]

Have you gone or do you go to the wednesday meets at speed factory? I think i might have seen your car there or at least one that looks a hell of alot like yours.

Yeah Man I've been there... Come talk To me next time IM there.

[stat1K]

black on black is killin it chase... you post these on azht at all? i'm sure the fg crowd would dig it. anyways sick car!

[ChaseR]

yeah man I put the car on AZHT!

[MIK3]

I don't know about those Comptech S/C kits man...$3500 for 40-50hp seems a little steep.


Either way, props on blacking it out. And to answer your question about beating the N-star Caddies and Cobalts 1.) The Caddies best N-star will do a 0-60 at around 7 seconds, save the XLR and 2.) Cobalt SS drivers can't drive...I'm not saying your civic doesn't have the potential to beat a Cobalt good driver vs. good driver, but I know in AZ most Cobalt drivers here just got their licenses.

Either way, when do you plan on running it? Either dyno'ing or track?

[ChaseR]

I will dyno is when I get the S/C, I know 40-50 Hp doesn't sound a lot but w/e, it's not going to be the fastest thing on the road but will def give it an edge.
http://www.hispeedchase.com/NBP/8a.jpg

[2ndGenGuy]

The supercharger may make only 40-50hp, but I'm pretty sure it will bump the torque curve across the whole RPM band. Plus it will always be in boost, and never have turbo lag. I think it's a smarter, more reliable choice vs turbo.

[ChaseR]

^right on, I will easily walk a lot of cars with that on there.

[MIK3]

Oh, yeah, I only mentioned the whole S/C ordeal because of the price. I would S/C a vehicle over turbo it any day. Turbo's bring a greater potential for tranny failure as increased RPM brings increase HP #'s and there's the whole lag issues. Plus...I hear way to many BOV's now a days and not enough whine.

A couple years down the road I actually plan on dropping a Vortech V2 into the max.

[snoopyloopy]

yeah, i wouldn't mind one of the new tl type-s with a sc myself. sc is better for daily driving and the occasional race imo whereas turbo is just for all-out power and bragging rights for your $2000 civic (generic civic, not your's, chase).

[speedpenguin]

That car actually makes me like the design of the new Civics, which, believe me, is an accomplishment.

[ChaseR]

^ Thank's man! I think it looks a lot better than stock.
