and how do you do that?

 

yeah why do u say that do u expect trap speeds in the 120's? im just guesstimating ill say it traps at 80-90 something

 

anyone?

 

i have a 00 si, no problem with acceleration. not a fast car, but its got a little pull on the sohc engine. car-videos.com has the quarter mile as about 15.84@89.9 or somethin like that. i also have seen the 0-60 as 7.2 repeatedly. this could be off tho

 

Here's the problem with automatics that most carmakers are having a problem fixing: an automatic transmission senses when you are going uphill that you hit the gas and instead of where you would shift down with a 5 speed, it thinks it needs to shift up. With many of the newer automatics, not only does it take into account accelerator position, it also takes into account wheel speed and some even have computers that remember your driving habits and adjusts its shifting tendencies to fit all these factors. This is why with many of the automatics, especially older ones, you can't climb hills as well as with a 5 speed. Believe me, you won't have any problem accelerating up hills with a 00 si.

 

its DOHC :fawk:

 

i know that the b16a2 is a dual overhead cam(DOHC) engine, what i was saying is it pulls on a car with a SOHC VTEC engine such as an ex

 

KC CL 1785 you should know your car better. Why do you think automatics cars have D-3 and D-2? They are spceifically desigined for up/down hill traveling.
D-3 uses the first three gears in your vehicle. It provides engine braking going downhill, and power when going up hill
D-2 this gives you more climbing power when going up hill and and increased engine braking when going down hill.

When I had my civic ex i never had a problem going up steep hills.

-I hope you didn't sell your car because you had problems going up hill...

 

Umm, no I did not sell my car at all, I loved that thing. I was driving in Arkansas and I was stopped at a sto light and this truck slams into mw from behind going 45 and pushed me under the silverado in front of me. The fram was cracked and 3 of fours motor mounts broke, and the motor fell out. I have an acura 2.2cl rightnow, and i have always wanted an Si, I just dont want to feel like I am driving an ex civic.
