so embaressing I want to cry, Honda Pilot vs 96 Celica GT Options

[TRD6GC]

I raced my friends V6 Probe with more mods than me, and i won. He was auto and i have 5 speed. I beat an LS integra real bad and a Civic EX as well. But i barely beat an Explorer once and got RIPPPPPED apart by a Camaro V8. And that sums up my racing days. Everyday i get in my car i wish i had a GT-4 though!!!

Some of us don't have this problem


Took part in a rally last year on some closed roads and had fun humiliating a GT3 RS, Skyline, RS500 Cosworth, and a few others. As soon as my mate get's his butt into gear (has the necessary software), I'll be able too upload some in-car footage to my website.

k. that justs makes me want a GT4 even more..

[easternpiro1]

wow... really? i didnt know that about the compression. I always put like 93 oct. in mine i have a 7a. I work like 30 miles away and ive compaered 93 and 87, 87 burns too quick, i get better mileage with the 93...maybe i shoudl try it again...after i get some seamist or whatever that stuff is that you put in your car to break down carbon deponsits.

[easternpiro1]

And by the way shin... YOURE A MANIAC for racing anyone on the bqe...im originally from south ozone park...its a pothole deathtrap on some parts of the BQE...lol

[shin]

lol.. i know easternpiro1 .... but i manage to avoid most of them... i'm pretty familiar with all the pot holes cause i take the bqe everyday to work..

I was putting 93 in my 7AFTE. Your saying it would run better with 87? I thought that since I had more air inside I would need better burning fuel. I use 89 on my reg 7a now.

He said higher octane is only better for engines that generate a lot of combustion heat, meaning forced induction engines and high compression engines. Higher octane fuels aren't neccesarily better burning, they're more resistant to heat and reduce pre-detonation...

[thaimiishoe]

the 5sfe is pretty high compression though isn't it? It has a 9:5:1 compression ratio. And considering you can only boost at 8 psi on the 5sfe because it's already has such high compression.

correct me if i'm wrong =\

in case anybody is wondering both the 5sfe and 7afe have a 9.5:1 ratio

That doesn't generally rate as high compression. I'd only call 10:5 and more "high compression"... but it also depends on the engine. Even 10:0 and 10:3 compression engines can run relatively OK on 87-89 octane...

[saleeka]

regardless of that noise, the owners manual says itself that for 5SFE engines, if you want increased performance, run premium fuel... personally I feel increased SMOOTHNESS, but other than that

[tsiah]

That honda pilot has 240hp. 

[right][snapback]114228[/snapback][/right]

umm...no
that would be the s2k

the pilot has a larger engine...but only makes 162 hp and 160 lb ft

whoever said you barely lost to an RSX-s...your friend sucks ass at driving
220 hp and 160 lb ft...and Im not sure on this, but I believe the RSX is as light (if not lighter) than your celica...

My friends crx got raped by a sienna.

[Dtown_GT]

i guess i dont have that bad of luck with my car... iv taken a V6 prob no problem. also a new celica GT, Z24(or what ever the number) cavaler(auto), and i have raced a RSX-s i lost but honestly barely... other then that every other car on the roads beat me haha, j/k... no doub though the 5's need a bit more power

[AndyST4]

I made sweet sweet love to my car after it my cousin's evo and then again when a smashed on this turbo R32 Skyline

[HaRv3sTeR]

I own a 52 HP festiva, so my 95 celica gt feels like a rocket! But I have lost pretty much every race I had. Its so bad, i just roll  down my window and say dont bother-u won.  I bought my celica for reliability #1. Everything else is extra..So no complaints from me..
