I only just came across this forum 10 mintues ago and I decided to join.
I first fell in love with Hondas when I moved to Tyler, Texas USA.
I met a guy at a strip club over there ( Time Out it was called ) and we got to talking about cars. He invited me back to his workshop where he was working on his Mitsubishi Eclispse. He done the car up for show but I am all about speed.
One night we we working on his car his homies rolled up in civic hatchbacks, delsols, crx, s2000 and dare I say it Acura Integras. You could hear them coming a mile away.
I got to know his group of mates and I was invited along to a race night at the drag strip at hallsville, TX. These civics were beating mustangs, corvettes and even vipers. From that day on I fell in love.
I bought my first Honda from a shop in Dallas, I can't remember the name of the shop but it wasn't jotech.
It was a 1990 CRX with a JDM B16. The only thing I bought for this car was a vtec controller. This car went like the clappers, I had a lot of fun in this car until my good mate Marco gave me a drive in his EG Civic which had a JDM B18C. This car was doing high 12s in the 1/4 mile.
After driving this civic I bought an EG hatch he had for sale. I bought a complete JDM B18c half cut and installed it into my civic, I also bought a carbon fibre hood and a set of konig rims.
This car wasn't quick enough for me so we installed a turbonetics T70-1 turbo.
We had the block sleeved and rebuilt the entire bottom end and has the head ported and polished and stage 2 cams were added.
We took the car to the track and had 3 runs and I snapped 2 sets of axles when I launched and my third set half way down the track. I was running stage 2 axles. The car was putting out 600 hp at the wheels and I ran a 10.1 in the 1/4 with the broken
axles.
I sold the car when I moved back to Aus and I would love to build another one but I would rather have a daily driver instead.

Nah mate, I never owned a camera while I was over there. I know my mates have some photos of the car though. They used them for a website over there.
There could be some on the east Texas imports forum if it's still active.
We use to street race every Friday and Saturday night.
We got busted from the cops a few times.

high 12's with jdm b18c? lmao. specs?
Honda DelSol

I dont have the specs for his car.
I don't know why you find it funny that he was running high 12s with a JDM B18c. Any thing is capable with the B series Honda motors. We use to run our own shop at Tyler. A group of us rented a shop so we had some where to work on our cars. Every now and then we would do work on other people's cars.
I know Marco has a K24 in his civic now.

Boostn, I don't think you have enough experience with the B series motor.
Your only 19, you would of just started going through puberty when we were working on Hondas LMAO.

I know there were photos on the East Texas Imports Forum and the Moore Motorsports website but I can't find either.
It was 7 years ago I was living over there.
Most of you guys can only dream about what I was able to experience over there. The laws over here are messed up. If I could build another turbo civic I would.

Why am i so cocky, yeah good one. That's just me.
I posted an intro for my first post and since then I get the impression you guys think I'm talking shit.
To prove I lived in the states I can tell you every place I worked at then you can google it for yourselfs so you can see I'm not bull shitting.
I don't give a shit really. I thought it would be awesome to be a part of an Aussie Honda Forum but not if it's full of tossers and wannabes.

Boostn, I don't think you have enough experience with the B series motor.
Your only 19, you would of just started going through puberty when we were working on Hondas LMAO.
You got so upset by my post that you stalked my profile? LMAO.
You joined this forum only this morning, you tell us your life story and then proceed to tell us this;
Most of you guys can only dream about what I was able to experience over there.
and also this;
These civics were beating mustangs, corvettes and even vipers.
This car was doing high 12s in the 1/4 mile.
High 12sec 1/4 mile is very quick for a n/a street driven B18C civic. Without photos/videos, specs or dyno sheets, you have absolutely no credibility.
Welcome abourd Paul Walker, enjoy your stay.

For those that care I have added photos in my gallery of my hatch I owned when I lived in the states. I still have more to add but I have used up my allowed quota. There is also a couple of dyno runs for you to look at.
