Scenario:
I have a 94 Civic EX(MT) and my gf has a 98 Civic DX(AT). I have an intake and exhaust. We were both dead stop at a redlight and we both took off. I was flooring it and shifting @ like 5600-6000K. I got ahead of her thru 1st and 2nd gear. By the time I got to 3rd, she just flew past me w/an auto, stock, and nonvtec d15?? DX motor at that.
I am like WTF??? I just got the car a few months back. I have a code 41. Is that harming my stock performance right now? Also my car backfires between shifts.
I have yet to change: plugs, wires, sythetic oil/oil filter, fuel inj. cleaner, and fuel filter.
Any ideas??? I am working towards an LS swap w/turbo by the end of this year. I just wanna know whats up with my EX vs. her DX. Shouldnt the EX win hands down??
