    No possible way your stock carb motor would hold together for a 12 sec run, let alone flow the air/fuel to make you run a 12 sec pass. I could go on forever about this...Where you rolling down hill..........Okay one last thing if your doing 0-60 in 10sec and the quarter in 12 well then your finishing your 1/4 mile pass at a whopping 66 mph...... HA! try again.

    Re: You won't belive me but it's true.

    Yeah, I'm gonna have to say that 12 seconds is about 5 or 6 seconds off from reality. Even so, I'm almost tempted to lock this from the get-go so people need to keep themselves in check, k?

    Dude, there's NO way you ran a 12sec quarter mile from a standing start. A physical impossibility. How did you measure your time/distance/speed?

    Re: You won't belive me but it's true.

    So you were just using the odometer to demarcate when you have finished a 1/4 mile? You should go to a drag stip and try again. Read any magazine review or any other drag times from any other guy here and you'll see that these cars run 16.8-17.5 stock. Don't you think it odd that you supposedly cut 5 seconds off your quarter mile time in a stock carbed accord? Really--be reasonable.

    Re: You won't belive me but it's true.

    ok I honestly do belive that it is a bit odd but I have to say that these cars can perform when they want to. I think we have a track somewhere on the out skirts of town I'll look into it and I'll repost with my times.

    Re: You won't belive me but it's true.

    You guys are asking for a ban.

    I think you can get mid 16's even low 16 on some rare occasions in the carbed 3g... but consistently no... you'll be 17-18sec 1/4th mile untill you start opening the intake and exhaust and work the head.

    Yes - Please don't attack others... just because he did, doesn't mean you need to. Be the mature one and leave it at that.

    Re: You won't belive me but it's true.

    This is by no means as accurate as a track, but ...

    Let's say your speedo is somewhat accurate.

    Find a straight stretch of road with markers along the side.

    Go a steady 60mph and start your stopwatch at a marker you prefer. That translates into 60m/1hr (60 min.) = 1 mile per minute = 1/4 mi in 15 sec.

    It will take you exactly 15 sec. to pass 1/4 mi. at 60mph. So ... go a steady 60mph, pick a marker, start your watch, and pick a marker at the 15 sec. mark.

    That will give you your unofficial quarter mile track.

    Re: You won't belive me but it's true.

    After owning a civic that ran 14.5 down the 1/4 with time slip & all, the 3g feels about 1/3 of the power. I don’t have emissions bullshit either being New Zealand new, there are alot of inaccuracies you can run into timing a 1/4 mile the way you did, like your girlfriends reaction time pushing the stop watch & Speedo calibration etc...but yeah go to the track & see what ya car can do.
