sorry i typed in rotoryshack.com so it didnt show up anything, stupid mistake, but im just really confused by everything, like the 84-85 13B 6 port IDA, is it for EFI or carb? and alot of the other parts idk if they're for carburated or fuel injected 13b's

The 13b 6 port IDA is a carb and manifold setup.

I agree with AntonL too there is a limit to what kind of body kit you place on your car. when you grinded (or grid?) most the body just by backing out your drive way is kinda pushing it. but most my friends had sleepers. But I do understand the beef with guys and hondas, alot of honda owners are ********. you can't blame the car for it's driver, unless you're driving Kit.

lol reminds me of this 2nd gen eclipse that ricer to the MAX!
it gots the body kit and paint job of the the one in Fast and Furious part one.
but no engine work.
i think hondas get the ricer reputation because its the cheapest car to rice, and its not all hondas, mostly the civics.. you can buy one for about 1k and put a body kit on it for $200. buy a pipe for about $50 and you have a loud *** POS for no money at all. and you cruise around sounding like you're going 80 doing 25. but then again iv seen some hella quick civics... the gym where i lift at a guy has a EG hatch with an H22 swap with a full exhaust and intake and that thing mobs.. and all it has is rims, a lip and a small spoiler, looks really clean with a tiny drop. to me thats not ricer, keep the car clean and mostly stock.

Before you bother with intake stuff, you must sort your exhaust. Header, & good performance muffler. RB or similar. Best bang for the buck on a rotary is do the exhaust first.

Pretty much any reference you care to consult says that job one with a rotary is to get a proper exhaust... which the stock cast-iron manifold is not.

Me? Auto.... I don't think so. I'd never in a millian years drive an auto. You must admit you feel like a little gay if your driving a metro. Metrosexual. I hate driving economy cars. I've got a few rentals that sucked ***. But gay people are cool with me. I've always said If there where no gays, I'd have no girlfriend.

Wow is all i have to say leave for a few years and this is the kinda topic thats talked about. Are you fawking serious. Who gives a crap. Take it to the track like a man. If you where half the driver as you are the talker you would have slammed into the side of his car and took him out

Porting be damned do what i did


If you did not run out of gas you would have for sure toasted his front end with a fireball. Yes that is a little ol 12a

What about when you get beat by one? Here's my friend's car, and he's straight as can be. It's really funny seeing him beat people down with loud techno music coming from the car.


And this is why nobody can beat him...

Jesus, you can't just come in here posting pictures like that when they're asking what IDA is, and if you can carb. your 13b......haha


To the original composer:
If you want to know how to beat your brother's GSR, read pretty much every part of the FAQ on here, memorize the factory service manual, read a lot of the technical forum threads, and then decide if you want to stay naturally aspirated, or go forced induction with your motor.

Knowledge is power, plus it helps you from getting your **** chewed out for asking questions that a zillion others have asked about a trillion times before on here.

Porting BTW, requires a motor tear down, then the exhaust and intake ports can be ported. SEARCH porting, and you will find out more than you ever wanted to know also....

I don't know about that, I'm pretty sure a Focus RS would whoop the crap out of a Mazdapeed Protege.

I'm going to go with the 89 honda prelude type s not the si. Handled like a champ. I had duel dellorto carbs, and a streched throttle cable still hit 130 with ease. and it was cruising like I was going 55. smooth as hell.

I just thought of a cheap solution to the op original question. Get your rear end re-geared to 4.44 or 4.77. that should take the win no problem

I don't think se7en could even beat an Integra LS as it sits
Actually the mazdaspeed protege is probably the best handling FWD car ever made and a street ported gsl-se will more than likely give that gsr a lot to think about!
