This is the video of a buddy of mine on 7thgencivic.com. He ran 15.8 bone stock in the 1/4 mile. Just thought that I would share with you all.

that is the worst video i have ever seen in my life

Stock as in nothing on the car is anything but factory? Pretty fast for a stock civic.

Yep, straight from the factory with no mods at that time.

Pretty good. So, where did your friend find an open dragstrip in the middle of winter?

Actually this was video taped on March 8. He had just gotten the car 3 months before this run.

I haven't been on this forum for a while. I've moved over to 7thgencivic.com for the most part and I figured I would share the video with you all.

Nice time. But the cameraman must be fired.

nice run...:D wuts w/ the kid screamin tho? 15.8? take it was the kids first time at the track or something? heh, anyways, nice run...tell the guy i give him props for runnin 15's in a stock civic ex.

That is a very good time for a Civic. Kudos!

Worst video ever.... Why does it look like you video taped it from a TV?

I appreciated the Nova... he had a slow reaction time... oh well.

15.8 cool... and yeah whats with that kid? Hit him and the Camera man for us... please. ;)

If you think I am going to believe that a stock 2002 civic EX which is suppose to run a factory time of a 16.7 is running a 15.8 because of a good driver then you must be crazy. I mean it is hard for lightly modded LS's to get a 15.8 at the track.

I love how you pulled that exact 1/4 mile supposed time straight from car-stats.com. Even the 2002 Si's are hitting 15.7's stock. You can check out EPHatch.com for those time slips.

A mag reader huh?

We didn't really believe him at first either.

Go read the thread about it.

Yeah and the 2002 Si's are also DOHC and they put out 160horses and are 2.0L and they are a hatch. The 2002 EX's are 1.7L 127 horses SOHC. You are telling me that a 1.7L SOHC 127HP runs almost as fast as a 2.0L DOHC 160 Horse? That laws of physics do not allow for that. Also the Factory time of the 2002si is a 16.1 from Honda.

I think RedNeck is right, looks like it he was taping the TV.

That is VERY impressive for a stock Civic.

the civic coupe weighs less than the hatchback. the hatchy is WAY over-weight for such a small car. i honestly don't know if the guy can pull it, but if he can, then props. an frostbyte, u say its tough to believe, yet ur car can? i mean, all those mod's u added aren't going to take off a second in the 1/4 mile. unless ur car runs faster stock...don't kno for sure, but don't think the short shifter an stuff is gonna take it down a second. so i say if we can believe u, then i think we can believe this guy.

o, i didn't kno motor oil was considered a mod? :bloated:

I am sorry but I really can't believe that either. I know that my 95 LS with header, cold air intake, catback, motor mount inserts, p/s removed, 2 degrees advanced timming and a few little things, it ran 15.55. And also all the 2002 body style civics i see run at the strip here run 17.10 stock!!!
I'm sorry I just can't believe that!!!

I don't know what to say really. The video is pretty much proof that you did it unless you are lying to us but I don't think you are, why would someone lie about a time like 15.8. When my S-10 didn't even have its new exhaust I beat an ls Integra, those are like what 120 hp? That was pretty easy he didn't come close to my rear. 127 hp aint much more and my truck is supposed to be around the 1/4 mile time of high 15's. I don't see how it would run with my S-10.

I don't know, forget it, good run man.

hmmm...tough to say...i dunno i'd give him props if it was tru, but still, i am with most when they say the new civics are slow. my buddy has one, an i kill him by atleast 10 cars. im not sayin its impossible, but still tough to do.

I still don't understand why the TV was video taped? To post a video and say that its your friend at the track, and then we are looking at a TV, is kinda odd. But what ever floats your boat. I personally don't think it was stock, but why lie, you don't have to impress us.

It does look like it was taped off of a TV. But what the hell makes you think he's lying? It's not like he said the guy ran a 13 sec in a stock ex.

I just personally believe that there is something we are not being told about the car. I was in a hurry one morning and riding this guys ass to get on the highway, he got pissed and floored, I don't blame him, I hate being tailgated but he was going way to slow, anyways he stepped on it and didn't go anywhere fast. I could hear his all stock motor trying hard, but not really doing much. Like I said why lie, I think there is just been part of the story left out. If I told you I had an all stock 95 5.0 and could run 13.8 wouldn't you wonder? If he did run it, then I guess I am totally wrong, and should reconsider my statement. Untill I feel that sufficient evidence has been put forth, I will not change my opinion. You are have the right to your opinion, as do I.

Lets find some other guys that have ran an all stock 2002 civic ex and see what their time is, or even a slightly mod civic just to compare. Prove me wrong. I am always willing to learn sopmething new, especially if it proves me wrong. I don't want to be mis informed, so lets get some other times. Anyone have a slip or can honestly quote a time I'd love to hear it.

:D i agree, i kno 7th gen civic ex's around here stock are SLOW. so i dunno? lets get some more results, check out 7thgencivic.com, they have a lotta kill stories of them in their cars, so i dunno, it is possible

I checked 7th gen civic, and they have a thread started that list 1/4 mile times, and most say they are running in the high 16s to low 17s, even an 18 for the auto. If you read some other threads they are comparing the civic to some really slow cars that could never hit 15.8 stock. Definitly a good site for info on civics.

Actually with all the mods that I have done it can take a second off of the factory time.

Geez guys, the dude it probably running N2O or something. Might have even had a turbo, but you can't hear because someone doesn't have the equiment to convert their big ass VHS camcorder to an MPG. Buy some freakin cables....
There's no way that car is stock. Stephan Papadakis ran a 15.5 in an all stock Si and people thought that was unbelievable. But, the guy is a professional driver, so I give him props. He murdered his 60' time.

must of had lots of money for a turbo seeing is how they don't even make a kit for them. and think of this maybe he had a rsx swap

good job im not gonna hate it could be possible with some really good rubber and maybe with no spare and back seats.

I've learned to keep an open mind until proven "guilty" (anything is possible) I agree it seems unbelieveable. But until someone proves it to be false information...... you know where I stand.

hybrid what do you think do you think there is a possiblity that hed had and rsx swap or would he be running faster.

If it was base model swap it's possible, but the type-s is going to run a faster time than that. Your looking at a base model k series runnning 160hp @ 6500 rpm in comparison to a type S K20 running 200hp @ 7400 rpm. (its Possible)

werd i learned my lesson one time, when this dude told me he ran 14.9 in an Si with no more than IHE and a shortshifter.. turns out he did it all the time lol

i have heard that cars run faster in colder weather . i also herd story about a bone stock subaru wrx gt that did unbilevable time quarter mile . cold air + clean air = fast ?.:confused:

yeup, that is the idea behind cold air intake systems. by getting it's air supply from somewhere away from the engine's direct heat, it can get colder air, which is denser, which will cause for ur motor to produce a little more power. if u took two of the exact same cars w/ same drivers, an ran them both at 90 degree and 50 degree weather, u'd see the 50 degree weather would prolly be a couple tenths faster actually.

WOW! 15.8 for the EX...once? :D
And it takes a while for the new si to break in....
15's all day long, full interior...including the spare:
I'm number 37:

nice...pretty consistant times there. 'm jus waitin for my local track to open (opens beginning of may)

Post times when you get back. What do you think your car will do?

hopin to hit high 14's w/ no back seat or spare. it helps that the track is at sea level, an washington weather is pretty mild, so im thinkin i'll hit my 14's at nite (hopefully)

Hey KrNxRaCeR00 wanna run when that tracks open up? I always wanted to see where I stand with a N/A GSR. Our setups are almost the same.

sure...jus look for my white teg down there (i'll be there on sat's or sun's beginning in may) or jus pm ur number sometime, an i'll let u kno when we're rollin down. who all u goin down w/? i'll prolly be w/ a type s, gt-s, b16'd coupe an...who ever else decides to show up :D

Ill prolly see you, wel, im gonna go may 7th i think, Im pretty sure it is a wednesday though, do you gotta work or go to schoool or something???

92teggsr is going I think, and Im gonna bring my hatch, if I get my ZC running and a 5 speed in, or if I get my B16A sir2 in.

I got the pedals and such in, found a tranny for 65 bucks, just gotta pick it up. what times are average for a 5th gen hatch with DOHC ZC, I/H/E? I can drive pretty good.

well to be honest i know a guy who runs a stock ACR neon on the 1/4 at 14.86 Seconds.... technically its not stock... since he is missing a/c, p/s, and about everything else except the driver's seat. So i'm assuming if that civic ex.. could hit 15.8 stock.. I'm assuming that must be some serious wieght reductions on that baby right there..

my bro in his 4th gen hit 15.2 (an he was a new driver) w/ a ZC motor. is 94 keeping his gsr?

i'll probably still have it by that time cause i'm not putting a for sale sign in it or anything. I think I'm just gonna tell people about it or something. I plan on going down there may 7th with 94tegrs if he gets his hatch running. Are you gonna be there that day KrNxRacer ? Cause I wanna run you at least once before I sell it.

sleeper anyone?

may 7th...thas a wednesday u guys said rite? cuz i don't have school on wed's (yea...being in high school is gay), so i'd be down to run. haha...if ur runnin 14.7's all day tho...imma be hard pressed. u'll prolly smoke me, but i'd do it all in fun.

i have a 2002 civic lx with just pulleys and intake and i keep up with some stock si and my car doesnt even have vtech. i ran a 16.2. so what he is saying is not very far fetch

Ok 1st don't bring up dead posts
2nd he said his car was bone stock
3rd it is VTEC, not vtech that is a phone
