lol Very funny. i just thought it would be interesting to show to the rx community. its a very quick car. lol
a very quick grocery getter..

 

yeah i know, so are the hemis...

 

hemi is a motor not a car........

 

The MS8 is faster.

 

DUH!!!! i was referring the line-up...ie chargers and magnums....

 

^ The MS8's are faster than those too.

 

hh mazdaspeed 8? hahah yeah thos things are freakin fast! just showing these videos cause now there are some SI owners on the forums that might want to get a gift for thier wifes civc haha.check it out

 

Here are more true facts about the MS8 here: https://www.rx8club.com/lounge-4/mazdaspeed-8-facts-119406/

 

lol ok

 

Owning a high-powered FWD myself, I wouldn't want to even try driving that thing. 260 HP to the front wheels is enough of a wrestling match when accelerating out of a corner or just when accelerating from a stop. I can't even imagine that power being usable in any application aside from putting down huge dyno numbers.

I'll have to keep an eye out for that car. It says he's in Orlando, so maybe I'll see it around - though I don't recognize the area in any of his videos. Either way, he should be easy to spot if he is around; I'd imagine the ever-present cloud of tire smoke would be a dead giveaway.

 

OMFG that i halarious lol thanks for tha good laugh man

 

I agree wit you 100% id never own one.. but its like a albino aligator.. **** if i was a wild aligator id rather be **** black hahaha
its cool to see but that thing is nooo good for survival hah

 

Well, it IS quick........but....Lambo doors? Oh come on.

 

Shh, MazdaManiac might hear you

 

Huge turbo setup, built motor, and custom lambo doors: tens of thousands of dollars in parts, labor, and tuning

Never getting laid because you still drive a Civic: Priceless

 

i'm probably missing something but i can't see how a stock 2L motor can make 420whp at only 9.5psi .....

 

Oh cool, so now he can torque steer into a wall!

 

Hey Im a lurker here, former 8 owner and I love the 8 so just lurk here to learn about the car and read the awesome threads some people create here, I saw your post Rhawb and thought id share my input. Yes Julio lives in Orlando and the reason you do not recognize the area in the video is because he came down to have his car worked on down here in my town, sunrise florida, by all jap performance. All jap works mostly on hondas and I can vouch as I am a eye witness on this car, the motor is stock aside from turbo and tuning. Car is amazingly fast even though it is a honda, i know i know, honda FTL. But facts are facts, car is a beast for real. Just thought i'd share my two cents.

nah i think hondas are cool (s2k, and some times nsx) but the car is hmm how can i say it poliety, Ugly. its nice he has all this power , but the thing is just plain ulgy. from black looking thunder strikes on the side of his car (something i would add to a MSshop ) to this hideous looking front bumper (looks like a transformers face) to Dumbo ear looking doors.

did this guy like sit in his room and actually thought these ideas on how to make his car look ugly.

its pretty sad that the guy has all this money to spend , just ot make a car look fulgy. i give him props on the numbers. as for style, he needs send a letter to MTV , to see if they can Pimp his ride.



but yah nice job with the engine.

 

LOL, took you what? Almost 30 minutes? Fanboi police slippin dog...slippin

 

Just paused the video to point out my dislike for the lambo doors... more comments will follow.

Now for my more complete opinions. Personally, not my style. It's definitely fast, but I'm guessing he spent a decent amount to get the car that fast and even if the car was slower, there would probably be something else I'd put that money into. As others have mentioned, a civic is a civic. I try to avoid being huge on status, but civics are kind of the trademark car of ricers. Despite the really nicely done civics out there, there are so many others that bring down the name. I like having a bit of respect when I mention what car I have and that's hard to do with a civic. Also, I prefer RWD or AWD in most cases. There might be a few exceptions out there, but I have yet to drive them.

Also, he mentioned that he beat a z06 with the set up before the motor being built.... does that seem reasonable? I know you have to account for the drivers, but it seems like the z06 should have won by a fair amount still.

 

The guy in the Z-06 wasn't racing him!
Thats a bold statement to make that he beat a Z-06 before his turbo set up. Lets see.... the Z-06 has more torqe than that civic has HP and Torque combined, sure he beat him.....

Great numbers , but butt ugly , I wonder if his car can turn?


He had me rolling when he said he can now go after SRT-4, Evo's and STi, he was dead serious that he had to beat those car no matter what! What a low bar he has set for himself, there are plenty of other cars i rather go after if I was going for all out power, like the Lingenfelter Corvette, Hennesy Viper, etc. I have a news flash for him though, a 420HP civic will still get a A-whooping from these three cars that have 500HP or more. Looks like he looses in stock form and he will loose in modified form as well! LOL! Sucks to be him....

 

true but if i said hey im gonna buy you a turbo kit and get it installed and tuned.. i bet you would want to spank that same EVO that spanked you the other night! lol its human nature to want to beat something that is a easy win.
