Anywayz, I knew somebody would be going for the "you are a inexperienced driver" method. Just a warning at hand, don't even go there.

It could be that you are indeed experienced but not as good a driver as you think. Alternatively you might just be full of S**t

All were stock except the Civic which has Koni shocks, BBS RD 220 (17 inch) rims and Goodyear eagle sliks. Further more it was chipped, highflow intake and a highflow exhaust.

95 Sedan 1.6 ESI, Performed like I expected, doesn't have much get up and go power specially when it's loaded but once it's on the run it builds up speed fast. Handeling wise it's disappointing which is a characteristic of Japanese cars. The power steering is totally artofficial and doesn't give you much feedback from the road.

thats my generation civic and i know exactly what your talking about as far as the power steering, it is the worst coming out of a chicane...oooo so annoying.

and i just got koni yellows and some agressive springs. what were the suspension mods on that civic? they really need a beefy rear sway bar to go in and out of turns agressively. especially, if it doesnt come with a rear sway bar. most usdm civics do not with exception to the upper end models (ex and si trim levels).

was there anything else for power aside from the intake, exhaust and the chip? i have intake and exhaust and the performance gains were more mental than anything.

I really don't know what koni shocks were under there, the owner told me he had them and I just took it for granted.

The intake, outlet and chip mods don't do much at all. I'm guessing that's because of the japanese engines are already highlean and thus have been tuned aggressively. They suck up and push out all the air they can to achive this.

The reason I know they don't do much good is because the reason we were at the track that day was to test wether they did any good
