Ya, Honda Si pulls up beside me(fart can, silly wing on the back,nice paint though). Fart can revs really pi$$ me off:mad:. Young 'un looks at me and laughs at me.:wtf: Well I did what any old timer would do. Set the launch control and drop it into I gear(SS auto, GM Stage 1). Crawled off the lights with him, then let all h*ll break loose. I pulled away from him like he was standing still. Why don't these Honda drivers do their homework and leave us HHR SS guys/gals alone:roll:. I know this young dude in the Si will from now on.
For those that are going to attack me, I've got my flame retardant suit on already.:smile:

good for you, But I'd run you in my SI as well:Not all fart cans do not have nothing under the hood. LOL JFWY

What kind of times does that Si get?

never been 2 track, I figure low 13's with t3/t4 turbo and 100 shot of NOS direct port

Now. Now. Don't be thinking your SS is all that. I know a few Hondas that'll bury an SS. :lol:

Awesome story. An Si would need serious mods to compete with an SS w/Stage 1.

Looks to me like your Civic is heavily modified.

a lil bit

Wonder if anyone is trying to mod an HHR SS with an NOS kit?

My friend has a 08' SI with a jackson racing supercharger, that thing is nasty Mean. Seen him rape evo's sti's formula t/a's and a mod'd lightning. Runs good i'll give him props for an import. :)

Fear no ricer.

^^ lol Don't have to afraid of them to get beat by one lol I usually just give props to the good lookin and fast one(even better when the owner built it, not just bought) even though i prefer American, even better CHEVY.

Still not entirely settled, but so far about a grand in Atty fees and may be bargained down to Careless.

All I can say is don't get caught doing this!;)

My son and I built a eclipse, Talk about respect for the imports... If its built correctly... it will be a blast to drive... Took us about a year to build... had it dynoed and tuned @ 597 Hp at the wheels at F.I.S.T racing here in houston.

Yep had the same happen to me. But was in my moms TB and they didn't clock us (maybe 50 down a 25 against a buddy) Got the "Speed contest"(12pt) dropped down to a careless(4pt). whew!!

That's a nice looking eclipse!

You can't just shun all imports as some that are done right can really fly, it's the average "kid" that adds... well....er.... a fart can and a wing and thinks he has a rocket that has ruined their reputation.
In the past, the imports were the cars that you could buy at a good price and get lot's of power out of them if done properly. Now that GM has the LNF, there is some good American cars that can be modded effectively without breaking the bank.

Holy crap - that's CTS-V like. :eek:

the last time i dynoed my civic it was 318 at the wheels w/o the baby bottle now bored it out bigger pistons and other toys the guy said it should be around 430ish w/o baby bottle I got a 100 shot Direct Port. We'll see what the dyno says in about a month

hasnt crank walked... I shouldnt have a problem with that.. mines auto... crank walk usually happens to sticks. I have toyed about the idea on putting my baby on the bottle... maybe a 70 shot to help with my takeoff and spool time (60 trim turbo takes alot of spool time)but the thing is already fast enough and I just built it to pass the time. I know what u mean by the fart cans... there isnt a day that goes by that some punk kid pulls up to me and revs it up.... my son laughs and gives me the "nod" to rev mine up... as soon as the BOV vents to atmospere they usually back off... but somtime the corvette guys wanna play... then I have to put them in there place.... won sum.... lost sum.... its all about the rush in my opinion...

Good answer

Hey guys cudos for your rides, but this about legal street stuff. Those NOS mods would end up in the metal crusher if the law gets a hold of it. Gettin' a little carried away with what is street and what is track.:roll:

Is that true? is NOS illegal on the street (installed and/or used)? Or is it just illegal in Canada?

its illegal only if the bottle is open...thats why i got this for:NOS Remote Bottle Opener!

The NOS Remote Bottle Control is the perfect add-on convenience accessory for electronically turning a nitrous bottle on and off. A simple flick of the switch eliminates the chore of opening the trunk to turn your bottle on or off. It also serves as a safety shut off valve. Operates on 12 volts DC and fits in line with 5 lb. or larger nitrous bottles. Comes complete with all necessary hardware, wiring and easy to follow installation instructions. Attaches in-line with our Standard bottle valve.

NOTE:Additional fitting required for -6AN supply line connection.

This was written in a turbo forum in the U.S. Sorry can't remember which one.

According to my police type friend it is a $500 fine for having N2O in the car, hooked up or not.
A tank with N2O the police consider flamable, I don't know why because its just Nitrogen and oxygen (both innert gasses), but I guess it is under pressure so I am assuming the paperwork would be the same if you were carrying any pressurized tank in a vehicle, properly strapped down or not.

to the best of my knowledge you can have it in the car, but the bottle must be empty if it is in the car, and the bottle can not be connected to the plumbing on the street. this is what i understand the law is in CA.

Is it illegal to carry small tanks of pressurized propane in your car? Helium for balloons at a party? If the answer is no, then your friend is full of BS. Nitrous is not flammable. Your police friends can consider the sky to be neon purple, but that doesnt' mean it's not blue. Nitrous forms the oxygen leg of the fire triangle, not the fuel leg.

In most areas, it's not illegal unless it's connected for the purpose of injecting nitrous into your engine. If you disconnect the feed line from the bottle on the street, you should be good to go but check your laws by state to make sure. Nitrous powered IC rings and such are completely legal.

As far as paperwork, it usually has a minimum weight at which paperwork is required, and a standard five or ten pound bottle is far below the weight requirement in most cases.

As far as Texas, I can't find any law stating that nitrous is illegal for street use. If anyone finds other information, I'd like to know.

In general, don't as a cop about nitrous. They don't like it, and they'll tell you lots of BS about anything they don't like. It's up to citizens to know the law.

For everyone else, please stop saying NOS. It's nitrous oxide, nitrous, or n20. Parts of this thread sound like dialogue from F&F.

why can't people call it what they want? Dope,NOS,the juice,n20,whatever you want to should be fine. Talking about spelling look at what you wrote? QUOTE"In general, don't as a cop about nitrous". don't as a cop? maybe fix your spelling before criticizing others, On a forum for calling something what they want to call it!!!!!!!!!!!!Or your spelling of BS or IC I mean I know what it is but maybe other don't. Not bashing you but I believe the 1st amendment is applied...FREEDOM OF SPEECH. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution

Did you seriously just link to the Bill of Rights?

A typo is different from an intentional misnomer Eric. How many times have you corrected my spelling anyway? More than what I can count on one hand. I don't mind. I think you're doing me a favor. In the same way, I think I'm doing others a favor by teaching them the proper way to speak about performance parts without giving themselves away as n00bs.

The fact is that you'll get laughed at by anyone who's been around the performance aftermarket for a while if you use terms cribbed from or popularized by The Fast & the Furious or other similar movies. The term NOS being used to refer to a nitrous injection system is the most common example.

I have seen people get made fun of at car meets, on forums, and at shops over and over. Instead of poking fun myself and being an jerk, I educate.

If you or anyone else doesn't want to listen, fine. While it's a man's right to say what he wants, it's mine to point and laugh.

Maybe this is where people get it from:

or maybe : The parts in my civic that say NOS on it. To each his own!!!!!!!!!

Hey guys cudos for your rides, but this about legal street stuff. Those NOS mods would end up in the metal crusher if the law gets a hold of it. Gettin' a little carried away with what is street and what is track.:roll:

I really dont know whats legal/not legal but I do know that all the times Ive been pulled over, The police officer has never asked me to open my hood or trunk. I even had a couple of police officers pull me over just to ask me what my gauges in my gauge pillar are for. After a lenghly confersation about boost and air/fuel mixture... He started to understand. One time he even asked if he could take it for a drive... Which we went to a deserted street... where he got on the pedal... and left in his patrol car with a huge smile. My eclipse was not built to race.. it was built as a father son project where I could have some quality time with my son. But as alot of people know... once u start somthing like building a car... it just keeps going and going. Its nice to KNOW that the power is there... do I use it on occasion... u bet (who wouldnt)... but most of the time I am the person that people are honking at because I'm doing the speed limit... where everyone else is such in a hurry. I would take it to the track but its not legal at all the tracks Ive been to in the houston area... my main problem is I need a roll cage because of my Hp but I refuse to clutter up my interior just because some one else tells me I should. Another reason is My door handles are shaved off.... Go figuare...lol

where is the air filter routed to? Looks real clean.

it looks like its routed to the drivers fender well, with dryer ducting

just stating my opinion here. if a honda,since that was the car of the subject,pulls up on me and pipes me,he better have a cage,lexan,gutted,etc... in other words a real track/race car for me to back down.gave a turbo s2000 all he could handle. so what he was boosting 8psi. he had a rwd 6cyl. big turbo and light...couldn't get away from me.

umm...S2000 have a 2.0L 4cyl, stock at like 240hp. just saying.

not this 1 it's the same guys that built my stuff (Secret Services) I believe that Mighty Mouse hit the wrong key he is meaning this car:
