Ok sometime this week i am probably gonna be racing both, because both kids go to my school the Eclipse is an auto with no mods i think i can take him easy, but the integra is a 5 spd with full exhaust, no intake, its not a gsr just the base model i guess. Can anyone tell me how i will do against these? My car is a 91 fb with just cold air intake and its a 5 spd.

a Stock auto eclipse...you'll prolly beat it...and a Base Model Integra puts out only around 130hp, with Intake, about 135 max.
So i have a feeling youll do ok with the integra.

eclipse has 140hp but theyre cows ive driven and rs and its slower than balls. youll whore an rs. now the ls/rs/gs/special edition all have a 140hp non vtec 1.8L DOHC engine. Stock for stock its a good race but id say youd come out victorious. With the exhaust add about 10hp to its at 150 and you have a CAI which is about 5hp so you also have 150 (right?). It all depends on driving skill. It will probably be dead even because tegs are light but you have rwd on your side. i say you get the jump off the whole all the way till second gear but once you hit third the teg will start pulling. i dont know how it will go after that. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'>
don't worry dude. you've got it in the bag. i've delt with the same problem... eclipses aren't going to give you any trouble. ok, i have a 90 240sx se with auto tranny <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'> and i still hauled a 94 integra with tons of mods + it was a straight. i seriously gave it hell... don't fear. if you have a 91 with a manual... you'll win positivly.(unless you can't drive) but your car can make up for that. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>

there is a v-tech civic and a eclipse gs (i think) both with intake and they are really good friends and they race all the time (both 5 speed) and the civic wins
my question:
can't my 96 auto beat the civic?

Eclipses are slow. I raced one on the 91 and I kept braking while I was ahead to show him how slow his car was. The Integra might give you trouble but get a good launch and dont miss any shifts and you should win this one.

Eclipses weigh SOOOOOOOOOOO freaking much...their heavy like ass.
I think their almost as much as a Supra. that's a freaking big car for such a little engine.
thats their main disadvantage...their weight...
so you should be able to kill it.
i think the 2003 Eclipse...their supposed to be lighter (i think) and they look a lil better too.
