Buddy of mine as a CRX with the 1.8 VTEC in it (stock, no other mods)
and it runs 14s all day long. It kicks my 5.2l with headers/cam/intake
butt on a regular basis, and the only hope I have is that he blows a
shift (which I seem to do more often than he does).

Just out of curiousity, has anyone else noticed how poor the ratio
choice is for 3rd in the '97+ Dak 5 speed boxes? There is no way to get
anywhere handy the power band on the 2-3 shift (if I shift at redline in
2nd, 3rd is barely 2700-2800RPM). I think with a "better" 3rd gear times
would improve immensely...

 Most of them will NOT run that kind of time unless they have some heavy
 mods .
 
 I know alot of the Honda crowd here will buy a Civic and replace the
stock
 motor with the V-Tec motor from the Integra GSR or something like that
.
 
 I don't know how fast they can get em even with that though .

I saw some Acura's running legitimate 12-13's at Houston Raceway Park.
They
all had little tiny drag slicks on the front. I assumed they were on
the
juice to run those times?

I bet those things munch those front drive trains.
