all i hear is how a honda civic accelerates faster than my 3.1 what can i do to my car to make it go 0-60 in high 7's low 8's?

 

new gears in the rear will help. Vette Servo is supposed to help a little with shifting, trans go shift kit would probably help.... shot of Nos would make you get to 60 pretty friggin fast.

 

What year is the civic? Let's remember how old our vehicles are people, and read on in this forum on how to equalize that. Also remember, it's just a honda and theowner has to deal with that and his guilty subconscience and waking up each morning screaming w/the realization that he does own a honda. but I digress

TomP tuneup, gears, CAI/Ram Air, Exhaust, No2 (trak only please), Turbo, Supercharger, shift kit/better clutch kit, suspension,

there are so many variables that aren't listed.

edit: oh yeah, smaller diameter tires. Lets you run up the tach quicker, and yes, it took me 5 mins to type this

 

Show me a Sotckish Civic that accelerates that fast? Maybe a swapped one, not a regular non-VTEC.

 

They only weigh a little over 2,000.
Rember there built like a beer can, and crush like one too.
One thing you might want to do is time your car to see how quick it goes 0-60.
VTEC is old chevy VVT is in.
To get to 60 faster...
You can make your car lighter, but not a hole lot.
Gears, do you know what you have?
More power from the engine.
The right suspention and tires can help a lot.
One thing you can do is check out my cardomain site, all my mods are cheap/not done.

 

New timing set, CAI, headers + exhaust, 1.5 roller rockers, and 3.73s out back with a new 2800 stall should have you accelerating pretty hard.
