Hey guys, next week i will be going up to my uncles farm and he has na mx5 with just some basic mods such as i/h/e basically and just across his farm theres a straight road that goes for a few kms. (Its a private road btw9) But he was considering of racing me down that road. Now i dont own a car atm and the civic im driving is a ej8 and that belongs to my brother. My bros ej8 is fairly sto k except for a injen cai and a 2.25 inch catback exhaust. Anyone thinks this is going to be a fair race?
Does your brother know you are going to use his car to race an mx5?
Potentially ruining the gearbox/motor?
would like to see outcome of this race, record it and put it on youtube.

edit: for the record i think drag racing is an awsome sport and i have nothing but respect for it.
Film it with GoPro and post result

I think the 1.8L NA will win..
i agree. probably would lose to about 2-3 car lengths.Quote:

Broooo, you'll be left spinning on the start line while the car actually goes forward lol
Racing for pink slips? Bitches? Respect? etc
Sounds like a race for just shits and giggles tbh. Just enjoy your private rd. Wish I had one.
whoever put octane boost and pod filter can win

How do I know: A stupid Mazda MX-5 beaten me in one of the Victorian Motorkhana Championship course where its mostly staight with bends by 1 second.
The Mazda will win by at least 2 car lengths, 6 max.
what if civic got intake extenshun pipe?
it's goodQuote:

lol my bad, the civic is front wheel drive and it has weight on it for better grip so it pulls away faster almost. and another thing to this, the civic is much heavier :(Quote:

The South Australian Government has proposed a change to the wording of its dangerous driving laws to include actions on private property.
In its current form, the legislation specifies harm to a member of the public but effectively excludes acts of dangerous driving committed on private property.
South Australian Attorney-General John Rau told News Ltd this week that he hoped to follow New South Wales’ legislation, the reach of which extends to an offence “on private or public land”.

Compared too
A ej8 guessing its a d16y8 us pushing roughly 95kw @6600rpm
It all comes down to weight
The civic is 1116kg vs 940kg curb weight
It's gonna be one interesting race
No its not lol. The 1.8L has more Nm over the d16 i believe and plus its lighter. Only way the civic will stand a chance is being a better driver. Doubtful as well since the driver made a thread here about this.
it depends on gear ratios too~ not just Newton Meters.Quote:

pls post results
mx5 will take the cake! the d16y8 is pretty slow.. i had a d16y1 vti and would rip ej8s all day. even slapped a few b16s. i think i got lucky with my y1. was much quicker than the usual.
but yeah man, id have to put my money on the mx5..
