Thought a few of you might want to see the recently aired episode of Pinks in the USA where a S5 FC came up against an early Civic on the strip.

Warped tips and all:) fair play to the guy 12 psi and my bum is a banjo. That car is running at least 1.5 bar (approx 21psi) the way It hooked up off the line in the last drag it shows it all
On a side note would love to know what tips were in it?

"We\'ll be drifting that tonight" - HA

That was great - excellent to hear the FC whine on TV! Definetly worth a watch if you haven\'t seen it yet.

That is one mean T2, I see on their website that it is for sale on Ebay at the moment. If only the competition had been something a bit more hardcore than a pink civic.......

That FC hauled bigtime, good to see it come out on top.

Perfect launch on the last run, the civic didn\'t know what hit them. Plus the great twist at the end about the nos !

I hope you where taking notes mr grinder what you can get out of yours with a much bigger turbo. Its time for some serious ebay hunting that your so good at ! :p

shaunwil · April 14, 2006, 04:43:02 PM

Cya soon

that an EGI one matey - wont fit

nice to see what an FC is capable of though !

Brilliant vid. The FC was blinding. The Civic was credited with 470bhp in the opening creds, so a bit dissapointing on the final run. How do you put that kind of power through the front wheels and keep going straight though?

grinder · April 15, 2006, 10:59:33 AM

i think thats what the 20inch wide drag tyres were for

Stu

20 inch was just a random guess - they looked pretty big though

According to one of the US mags, the fastest FWD pro-street drag car (a civic) runs 7 sec 1/4s! I suspect the driver has VERY strong arms! :rollin :god
