Racing My Cheap Ebay Honda Civic In The 1/4 Mile Was The Scariest Thing Ever (DISASTER)

Well, today is the day, it's actually very windy, it's a little cold, but that's actually very good for a turbocharged car. Now not only am I here with this, I'm here with Chris, so we're going to go head to head and find the winner. he's going to keep the loser's car, no, I mean, I don't want your car, I want my car, so that's okay, I want my car more than his, so keeping my car, that'll be enough of a win for me too. I want to keep my car. I'm here to keep my car. I have no use for your car.

This build, of course, was sponsored by eBay Motors and

ever

y

thing

we bought was purchased on eBay. I think maybe. maybe maybe maybe just maybe one of us can get into the times I think so, so a lot of

thing

s have been done last night, let's go over what I did and when I said, I mean

ever

yone, everyone, was all hands on deck the work with this car. This car is just making sure these things get to Brinson Motorsports Park, that's where we are now, as you can see we've got the exhaust nice and welded on, this thing isn't moving anywhere, we've got a new spring on the blue FL , we have 12 psi. spring, so it will stay closed when we needed to close an open wound here to open it up.

We did a lot of little things around the engine bay, like just putting bolts where there weren't any, and the inside looks really nice, so this car key. it's on the original rails, that's really nice and tight, we have the bolt and roll cage with the weld on the harness bar, we make sure the harnesses are within spec as far as angle and we have a battery box to replace the battery case. There was a battery box back there, it was just a battery with some jumper cables, so we made sure it was as safe as possible.

We also fixed the shifter. That shifter looks very, very good and shifts much better. Actually, I haven't used it. at speed, but that shift was simply a much better hover shift, so we relocated our air-fuel ratio gauge there because, well, we couldn't have room on the A-pillar, but other than that, this car is pretty much as it looks. bought, except for the fact that it has Hoosier slicks, these are diagonal ply slicks. I used to have our ride plate on there and those were just road

racing

tires with super hard sidewalls, but this is super soft.

I've never actually driven with these, so that should be it. interesting, but one thing I really want to point out is that we couldn't have done a more different challenge, so Chris bored and stroked a small block Chevy, it's got an EFI setup, it's got a nitrous look at the nitrous bottle on this thing, so you've got a bottle of nitrous in there, you're running at 250, which means you're going to get an extra 250 horsepower on top of the engine and that's going to be a lot, a lot of power coming out of this car, but the car also weighs a lot. but this car doesn't weigh anything, it's probably around 2,000 pounds and this engine with this turbo makes about 600 horsepower, hopefully it makes a little more than that because okay, it's pretty cold here and turbos like that kind of thing. climate.

Right now, instead of going head-to-head, we'll just do some test runs because none of us have been on the track in many years and none of us have driven cars with that much power, so we don't even know how to do it. a Burnout properly, so we're going to do that, we're going to do some test passes just to see how the cars react and then we're going to give it all the effort and see who comes out victorious, we've got to give it some gas. Jared knows it. something, I have dirty spark plugs, yes, okay, this is the first time I've done this in a car with this much power, but I can imagine how difficult it could be now.

I'm going to do a Burnout, yes, so I have a little confession to make the front wheel drive faster. car that I have ever driven with my Nissan Maxima and I took it to the track with the manual but I didn't do a very good job my best time was a 13.8 with a good driver to do a nine second race that I stole I'm not going to do anything to spell to watch, I just want to see how this thing works right now. Wow, okay, so this has zero traction, no traction at all, no top end pull when the turbo revs after 6,000 rpm. to get used to it I'm going to need to warm up a little those tires there are no tires they're very very cold if I can hook up Chris he's in trouble he's in trouble okay then there's no power there's no power there's no power and then 6700 arrives rpm and then it's like all hell breaks loose like the whole world goes blurry Wow, okay, tell me you took off and you're like, yeah, right at the top of the quarter because you did 75 at 330, okay? 330 yeah no I wasn't I wasn't doing more than 10 seconds in eighth okay but you did 15 one and you currently have the highest

mile

per hour score.

Oh, videos, you changed and that's it, yeah, oh, she wins, it turns out that if You're going to buy a fast car on eBay voters just you for Honda, right, bye, a little rice cake, yeah, go very fast , so one thing you have more practice in, yes the only thing this car desperately needs is traction and it's great, there is no traction so get the tires, yes I need to get the tires often and you will get it so I know what you're talking about about the tires dancing around me, yeah, okay, I'm doing it. this, so go a little bit more towards the right tune, you can try to get more, make you have the parking brake on for that too, the parking brake when you go into second gear, turn on, yeah, the parking brake , so you'll sit there, okay and We'll walk less and get them going.

I was just afraid Accra would brake, so I'm pretty sure that's why the guy I sold the car to built it like that. I know it's slow, which I don't know, so we can do it right. I'm going to put, we're going to turn on the timing light, we're going to get five degrees and we're going to give it one more chance and then we're going to try to find the nearest parts store and we'll come back all in a day at this point, I'm all for it. do almost anything, just try it on the track as fast, reasonable, yeah, I don't think a seven or five has ever come out in an hour, no, because nothing we've done would make it slower at this level, no, I mean, the nitrous is working.

It's running, I told them, it feels like it's running better and then stronger by the rules, like a fracture, they think engines just hurt or get tired, it's possible, I mean, it has a lot of knocking, but the spark plugs don't indicate oil, who knows? Although I have a lot of problems with traction, it seems like Chris bought the wrong car, so all I have to do is make sure my car doesn't blow up and I want to win this, let's try this again. I try, let me try, throw it. Things are just falling down everywhere, so let me tell you one thing about this car, it's impossible to control, there is the right pedal, it's like you want the world to end, that's a pedal. press because after that they just threw me clear I don't know I was outside in the car at one point it's just the craziest thing ever everything shakes I've never seen a - shake the roll cage it's shaking independently in the De new, this fell down oh yeah, I don't know, I don't know everything, everything, the radio, it's like the contents of a plane moved during the flight, what do you think you did?

I think I liked a 15, well you did 106

mile

s. one hour well at 17 13 four five every time I think, oh, these cars pull pretty well and then the turbo kicks in, you have to try this. I have no idea how to set it because the problem is just the grip of the second one. this thing starts, it stops, that's it, that's nothing, I don't understand anything, it just dances and I have to happen the top of the third and fourth place, we need that weight plate, but we couldn't weigh. The weight plate would be really nice, the problem is We needed smaller slick tires and to accommodate the larger slicks we have to raise the suspension about an inch which makes the weight distribution like here where there is no weight, so that you want all the weight in front and it's just you.

We're fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting the grip so I've been on the page where you should drive this car just to see that it's going to explode and I also think it had like a boost cut or something in the first place. I don't know what the attack signal is because it just goes off the end of the scale on the limiter all the time practicing, okay, so I'll do a head-to-head race with Chris and if I'm ever going to send it. this is the time to send it installed on the wall reset Oh, no, yes, that's very bad luck for Chris, he has too many cylinders, you know, all you need is four.

I get the point, they're not making anything work. Chris' car, on the other hand, everything I do. What I have to do is keep my car together, extended in third. I think it's probably a solid boat 13. Maybe it definitely needs a little less boost in third and more traction, but the car holds together. Everything's fine. This whole Honda is so good. I definitely buy support. all on eBay for under 9 grand, this Bentley has so, so much potential, I'm NOT the right driver for this, how funny, I get to keep my car and I get to keep the Christmas card too, well it was a lot of fun and We have reached an agreement.

If you watch Chris's channel, you'll see that he just didn't want to get rid of his car and I didn't want to make you give up your cars. My most expensive week in Florida. So what we did was we took half the value of the car, which is about three thousand dollars, and Chris is now going to donate his shoes to a charity and said: Mission 2222, yes, they help veterans in need, yes, that's really amazing. but what was amazing for you for not not taking the money because I offered to buy it from him, buy my car back because I really want it if you didn't see it, my motors guy, oh, then the motors won't do it, so that's it that's okay, it happens, that's what happens on a hit, like on the last pass, like I could have done before too if he kept telling me, let's just make a pass, let's start best of three, let's start best of three. and then the engine literally gave out, let's do it right now, yeah, so that'll be it, it was a lot of fun, I'm worth a year in a row, yeah, I hope we can do something where we can actually execute a ten or nine second pass a lot thanks to Bradenton Motorsports Park and also thanks to eBay Motors for sponsoring this whole series and the eBay app will be next, the eBay Motors app and we brought all the parts on eBay on the cars on eBay Motors so that was it next time we do a collab, we should sleep, we should plan it so we can go to sleep, we should probably we should sleep well, so that will be it, actually it won't because the MVP as always, actually extra, as always today is this guy, Jared, so Jared worked hard on Kristin's car, he also helped my car quite a bit because I got a little mad and went home last night at 4:30 in the morning, yeah, 4:30 and we got home at 7 in time to get back to the store at 8 to load up, so yeah, we're, we're, we're a team, we're not sleeping right now, but Jared is, he's a, I mean, if you look at him, he's not very happy. about things, but I thought I could make him happy and he has his helmet, so he's going to take my car for a spin and you're not going to break it, right, Jerry?

Let's go two by two, okay, no, no, no, no, no, let's not break my car, okay, don't break my car, okay, oh, idiot, remember one thing I asked you not to do. No, hey, I remember what I said, you should, you should definitely split the clutch and not only is it fun, that sounds good, so that's it. For today's episode, I hope you enjoy the series. Thank you very much, eBay Motors. Many thanks to Chris from BS or Build. Go watch his channel on your bill. It really is something special. Everything will be in the link in the video description, but.

Right now I have to put my Civic back on the trailer and take it home and see what his brother sees, yeah now both cars are broken so until next time it's me reminding you that cars like this Jared broke down . no fun anyway, you guys need to put in an average effort, actually a little change of plans I thought since we were in Bradenton and the car is a drag car. I guess I could leave it to a friend of mine, how's it going? I imagine you know you use V8 and this is basically a V8 just for less cylinders and what I mean is basically Leroy, it's just Leroy, it's basically backwards and the wrong wheels are driving everything, yeah, yeah, so we'll mark it for We'll do boy races and then we'll bring you back to drive it.

Amazing, amazing, yes, so this will be part of Cletus' sweet whoo, I can't wait.
