indeed.
Never underestimate Honda engines.
I was speaking to the driver of that EG civic 'EGK-20A' yesterday and he said both him and the owner were quite impressed with the performance of the car so far.
To my amazement, it is running the stock gearbox, and the motor is not too modified either (mind you it's a Jap spec DC5R engine) - still pulling off 12.886 @ 106MPH
They have some mods coming for the next WSID event, hoping to crack 12 secs
Twas funny, he said when the lil civic was pullin up at the line, the 180sx driver did not even take notice as to what he was facing, only to look at the clock after the drag to the response of 'WTF'
But it all depends on what honda you are up against - it sounds as if the EG you were runnin has had a B16A transplant, don't be suprised if you were beaten, cuz i've heard many stories about this unsespecting combination - including a mate of mine saying it was the fastest thing he has ever been in.
But on the contrary, if it was an EG Vti with the standard SOHC Vtec, then it's hard to comprehend how it stood a chance against the mighty 4AGZE.I own a pretty much stock AFM GZE, and it is just no match for my gf's Vti.
