um...how old are u?
Not a good idea to race in front of school whether it being high school or college..

Stage 2 turbo doesn't tell me anything. You need to find out the spec of the turbo and go from there. At least what size compressor he's running (which from the sound of madddd talking, he won't know his own compressor size. )

Chances are, you'll get stomped since you have a 330i.
Just dig into technical stuff such as compressor size, turbine size, A/R, t3 , t4(which i highly doubt), injector size, blah blah and kill him in a verbal battle?

HKS stage 2 turbo LOL...guy sounds like a ricer...its doesnt even exist. But honestly a turbo civic can be fast it can go anything from 9's to 15s 1/4 mile. Back in the days in the late 90s beginning of 2000's my N/A civic was doing the 1/4 mile in the low 14's.

BMW FTMFW.
Dont mind the guy LOL. He's a joke. Trust me when you have a JUN-Mugen-Spoon (engine)you keep them N/A. They cost tons of money. He will probably end up buying knock off parts off ebay...like Megan racing, APC etc....
I kinda miss my JDM days...taking all my money to buy stupid JDM parts ...All that money down the drain but boy it was fun.

I dont know about his civic but Im sure that my civic and my 1st rsx-s could easily outhandle my 1er. They we're both slower (both low 14's) but my rsx-s was my favorite car ever over Audi's, Bmw's etc that I owned. The engine was a dream...from 5000 to 8000 (before hondata) 8500 after I was in heaven. I would buy one again without any hesitation. My 1er is a mid 12's, RWD but nowhere as rewarding. These cars could take a beating like there was no tomorrow.

from what i can tell... he's just talking garbage! i've had 3 Honda's... Two of them were civic's. All this stuff he says about "stage 2 HKS Turbo" doesn't say much. i don't even know that HKS makes a stage 2 turbo kit for the civic. D series, B series, F Series or K series hahaha.

i don't condone street racing in ANY FORM so i'd say just forget it.

I suggest you forget it, there is nothing to be gained from racing an idiot. BMW or Whatever it is.

I should have gone your way. Its a natural transition. The 135I is a good car but man do I find it boring(too easy to drive). I love high reving engines and the M3 does that perfectly...I was being cheap and got the 1er...I'm now ready to take a bath and trade in the car. I miss 8000 rpm+. I'm not a torque guy at all

Holy crap 10K b18c or b16a?
I went to Audi after honda...look like we went Honda to AWD+turbo now bimmer...well if you miss turbo we can trade
I'm thinking about getting an Exige or M3(E90) or keep 1er+Evo so hard to decide. Exige is on top of the list right now.
I always had a thing for 4 door(EG8 civic) the E90 is such a sleeper I love it. You should really think about my offer
