man im not blind..... im not saying at some stages he did run some 15s but i was there on one test and tune... and watched him with my own eyes do a few consistant 13...

if car A runs 3 times in a night, say a 15 and then a 14 and then a 13... safe to say its a 13sec car.. just because it DID a 15 doesnt mean its a 15sec car... as i said ill try get in contact with him and see if hes got any dyno sheets or timeslips etc etc

FFS his been there heaps of times the same time we were. And he struggled to even break into the 14's all nite long. I can recall at least 2 nites there.

So what if it's done 13's now, after his done more work to it. We have already stated if you keep doin work to it of course it's gonna be quick.

Plus his the guy telling everyone his got a fully built motor and runs super high boost anyways.. go figure.

Ok. Lets talk "Similar Setup's"

Similar can mean the difference between a custom 3" exhaust and a high quality branded exhaust. From all of this, I think what Fishman's point is really that the US guys use very high quality parts that we in OZ may not be able to get our hands on. I mean lets face it, If you go on ebay and buy some unknown branded forged pistons that the seller claims to "increase horsepower" opposed to toda forged pistons for instance, do you think that the quality and improvement would be the same?

I don't know what parts you guys have to support the turbo setups you're currently running eg; exhaust, manifold, ecu, tune etc. But I do believe quality parts do make a difference and contribution between a 13 sec car and a 15 sec car.

I understand your point mate but just because we are in oz doesnt mean we cant get quality hardwear. as i said if 2 cars are built the same with the same parts they have the same potential.... yes if you use shit parts, no name brands etc etc you will have problems and it wont perform but just because we are located in australia doesnt mean we are restricted to inferior hardwear....

The only difference between australia and the USA is work that has to be done personally such as machineing were it takes experience to get it right... experience that not many people have in australia

man i dont doubt that the car has done those times but i know what i have seen and i know what his setup was before he sold it.... unopened d16, bolt on kit, haltec etc...

you should know duy that practise and technique plays a big part in the 1/4.... so the more practise that you do of course your going to get better times...

doesnt matter about he says/she says stuff... thats just irrelevent

ahhaha i remeber 17SON, my basic b16 setup was running faster times then him. Lyle, he ran 15's and that's a fact, no shit if you keep on spending money on it, it's gonna run faster. But the FACT was that his basic boosted D-series setup ran 15's, ALL NITE LONG behind my B16.

There is no point at looking at the potential of cars overseas, and saying that a shitty basic setup here is gonna do the same time. The only fast D-series down under i can think off is Weq's car. And that was no basic bolt on Ebay kit.

I don't understand this so help me

Weq first setup was D16Y1 stock with a bolt-on Greddy kit witch made 120KW at the wheels, so how could that be slower than a stock B16A = only about 88KW at wheels!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Only his last setup was boost built = 200KW on the wheels or whatever it was..

He sold out and when for pre built Z power lol

[Sexc86]

yeh i know **** he sold that civic cheap! i though even about buying it and changeing my civics engine with his! would of loved to see it first hand!

[riceball]

He is saying that Weq's car was fast, not comparing it to the B16.

hey sexc86.. have you ran your car down the 1/4 ? what kinda times are you expecting if you havent ?
is there a rought indication on how much money youve spent ? would like to know how these turbo d's run

[Q_ball]

in all honesty, fishman is just speaking his mind. and its just not words you wanna hear. if you think he's a dick, then go prove him wrong. but he'll have the last laugh when you cant live upto your words..
lots of shit talkers around, just go prove your point- go get those figures that you think you can get and then post slips.

Agreed

Nopes, it all about K-series these days.

Yeah but my point was his first setup was Stock + bolt-on and that made more power than a stock B16
