				Run Times
			 I am just curious of what ur guys cars ran stock. i am goin to be running mine this weekend for the first time just to see what it runs stock and compare it to what it runs with mods....so i was just curious of what i should be expecting...i know it shouldnt be more than 18's I am hoping for low 17's high 16's I have a 2002 Honda Civic EX..anyone give me some feedback? |

				 | NO clue...I've never ran mine, cuz I'd feel that I'd have to run against someone and I don't like loosing...so I'd have to run like a 5 yr old on a tricycle to win.  I'm assuming that your EX has the same hp as mine...so it's not that quick.  But I think times can be way different depending on who's driving.

   Are you serious? Why the heck is that? What's your recommended gas level? I know on my Chrysler it was 89 and on the Mazda it's 92. I now fill up at 91-94 octane! | |

				 | Well, see urs is an SI mines not. I wanted a SI but they are rare in vegas. i just have the vtec motor thats it. and i only put 87 octane in my gas tank. i really dont think putting 89 would make a difference. but im thinking maybe 17's stock in mine but I will try to find out this weekend. |

				 | yeah, a car that dosnt require premium wont benifit from using it. premium gas burns hotter and faster. you get better gas milage with low octane if your engine dosnt need premium

				 | 16.1 1/4 8s 0-60 but thats for my beast I dont think you'll touch 16s with your civic ex dimtry its all about the compression ratio, 90+ burns differently and thats why your motor sounds like shit when you fill up with the cheap shit. BEcause the pistons aren't firing correctly!!!! |

 to add to that, the higher octane rating burns longer and more controlled. low grade such as 87 will burn in one burst, where as a 93 octane will burn more evenly through the compression stroke(my 10th grade chem teacher told me this 3 years ago) the rating is the puratiy of the gas though. its ppt(parts per thousand) i think, it should say on the rating thing at the pump.

				 |   ok well, I ran my car last weekend at our Drag Strip and my best time so far was a 17.5 because i was told to shift at certain RPMS and found out I can shift higher plus it was my first time on the track so I will get up there into the 16's....and after mods hopefully 15's and 14's!!!!    Also what is the baby sitters club!!? |

 not to disappoint you but your car stock will only ever run 16.7s 1/4 Mile. feel free to check out www.car-stats.com I also attached your performance graph your car will do: 8.4 0=60mph 16.7 1/4mile with a manual tranny a profesional drive. best of luck, get a turbo if you want to see 14's | |

				 | I know what the babysitter's club is about...but I don't know that I'm permitted to disclose that information for fear of death.  I'd suggest PMing your favorite person that has it in their sig.
