lost to a mini. Need forced induction

[Pdivizzle0112]

i got smoked by by a mini cooper s today (supercharged)

I felt like killing myself.

The worst part is that he revved his motor up and it was so loud that i could hear it with the windows up

I want to go comptech.

Whats the best combo with comptech to put down the most whp and torque without nitrous?

My car is a stock Fa5 btw. any help would be appreciated.

im looking for an exhuast that dosent look fart cannon ish, and one thats quiet until Vtec

they weigh about 200 pounds less than an Fa5. not that light. The new (turbo) Model weighs about 400 lbs less due to an aluminum engine block

[projectprelude]

haha i see old guys rippin the those thing all the time

[Pdivizzle0112]

this one was tricked out. It was super low, new exhuast, from what i heard, either a bigger supercharger, or upgraded pulley kit. But this sucker was fast...and it had instant torque. I couldnt catch up to him.

Does anybody know a good upgrade combo with a supercharger to get the Fa5 over 250 hp with at least 200 lb ft of torque?

[truflip]

well he obviously put money into it, did you expect to beat him? =\

i saw a GP on the highway the other day and let me tell you he wasn't standing still. The GP is rated at 214hp, only 2000 of them were made

those Gp's are pretty clean. i love the wing. i saw one on the Pacific coast highway a couple months ago. nice cars.

But tell me. Since supercharged minis have less power stock for stock, i know the Si would win.

But all im asking for are some suggestions on the best power upgrades to make my Si fly.

And that mini looked aggressive too. I wasnt mad i lost. i was expecting it. But damn.

learn to shift mo better. a supercharged mini and an Si it should be pretty close. if its an 07 mini, i wouldnt feel bad unless he totally stomped on you.

the honda civic is not the fastest car in the world. you wont be faster than everything on the road.

If you're going with the comptech s/c I say get the SSR RH, vibrant exhaust (Not every loud until you stomp on it), and TB spacer w/ 2 gaskets. Getting a SRI or CAI is up to you.

This is called advice ppl. learn to be nice

for all the haters:
I was planning on upgraded my si soon anyways. and no im not spending money just to beat some tool. im spending money because i like customizing my car to my preferences. And it was on the freeway. I was just shocked at how hard it was to catch up in 4th gear. thats all...I stopped the chase at 85mph since i had to exit..

Well you should have put it that way instead of starting off crying about some lame mini beating you.
but get race headers and exhaust before you go s/c, it definitely complements it.

i lost to a mini cooper with an m3 motor in it =[

does anybody know if vibrant makes a catback for the sedan? i really like the sounds and looks of the system

I don't think they make one for the FA5. But just go to a exhaust shop and ask them if they can weld a 2 inch extension.

but a mini with mods will be hard to catch. Also, a mini will outhandle an Si anyday
