So I met up with my buddy with the ES300 "Type R", hung out for a while, showed of the CAI, and we had a couple runs. First from 75, three honks, walked away about two car lengths, he let off, and I pulled up to 100. Second race from 50, three honks, punched it, and this time I just totally walked away from him like he wasn't evern trying. He told me he had it floored, and I jus walked away like he was in reverse. We hang out bit more after that, and then we parted to go home.

I decide to take the scenic route home on the highway. End up seeing a yellow ITR up ahead. I've seen this one before, and I know its not just a badged GSR or somthing, its the real deal. I pull up and start pacing him at 60, and we kinda cruise like this for a while. He rolls down his window, and starts to slow down, so I do to. He asks if I wanna run, and I say sure. We slow to about 55-60, and he honks us down, and we both punch it. He gets a slight jump, but I pull it in, and by 85, his nose is at my front wheel. We hold this, take it up to about 110-115, with his nose at the front seem of my door, when he lets off and flashes his high beams, and I let off. He points to the exit, and I nod, so thumbs up from him, I return, and I head home.

All in all good night, kinda reclaimed Cassies honnor from the GTI death.

Cliff Notes: If you are really to damned lazy to read-
Beat an ES300 with DIY SRI twice.
Beat Acura Integra Type R by a nose up to 110-115.

good races, the other night i saw a 1980's ford courgar type R, i was to affraid to race it though, i mean it had a STICKER! Personally im getting really tired of everyone putting Type R stickers on every fucking car in the world.

good races.. wow my 1st time posting in a while..

nice races man

you can always tell a real integra r by the 5 lug wheels, unless there was a conversion.

wow that es300 must've been realy fast cause my car could hardly pull on a type R up top. i only got it by 3 cars. and type R's trap at 97mph stock. the one i raced had a cold air intake and that guy can drive ( for what its worth ) are you sure its a real type R? tell me what makes you think it is one. ( besides being yellow and with a wing )

I agree, are you sure that was a real ITR? Those things pull harder than most people think. My Talon was even with KrNxRaCeR00's type-R up until he hit vtec in third gear. After that he walked away easily. Which is why I'm not sure about your 325 pulling on one. I'm not saying that it didn't happen, I just find it a little hard to believe. (based on past experience :banghead:)

:iagree: Those things are quick, especially from a roll.

They were going 60+ mph.

yea cassie, i like to believe you but i took out a 325i on the highway with an exhaust before i had my sc... but hey, i've never had a reason to doubt you so good kill, maybe you were just the better driver, by alot.

ford cougar type R? lol

im gonna assume you meant mercury cougar, but type R... wow ford doesnt (or mercury whatever) have any "type R" vehicles. but while on the topic of mercury cougars, ive always wondered why they made the newer mercury cougars into woman cars with a puny v6. back in the day they were legit muscle cars. i think they should bring that image back to the cougar. put a 4.6 in it. or maybe even a 5.4. and make it look like a frickin muscle car.

Good races, what's up with the S/C?
Are you still thinking to do it. :evillol: :smokin:
It would be awesome.

Damn you race alot latlely

nice races man

i agree, ppl who keep putting type r stickers on everything are a little silly. and what about those 'r evolution' stickers i keep seeing on lancers.....

Speedthrill-I dunno if I'm gonna SC or not. I really want to, but considering I'll be getting another car in about a year, I can't really justify blowing between 5k and 6k for a few months. I think I might get the Conforti or RMS software for my car, then stop at that. Also, I've been getting alot of races becuase now that I'm back home, I know when and where to be to get races. Tonight was a slow night, raced and whuped up on a four door hyundi with five poeple in it. They are like me though, they dont care if they win or loose, or who they race, I think they just wanted to race.

I'm not positive now after reading all this that if it was a Type R Teg or not, I mean, it was yellow, had the wing, and all the badges in the right place. Maybe it was a very nicely done GS-R cover up or somthing, maybe he had a ton of stuff in his car, I dunno. The only thing I'm sure of is that when we let off, I had just about a nose on him.

And everyone talking about Type R stickers, my buddy put the Type R stickers on his Lexus ES300 (pre current moddle) as a joke. Make fun of ricers and all. He also has NOS stickers.

A good way to spot a phony Type-R is the sunroof, the 5-lugs, and the valve cover.

Well...we went from a roll, so its kinda hard to see a valve cover or tell about the wheels. Don't think I saw a sunroof, may have been closed. If I see it around town again, I'll try to get a good look.

the best way to tell is if they have side molding or not. a real type R has no side molding and is super smooth.

heres a pic.

notice how theres no plastic molding by the door? thats what i always look at first because its the easliest and hardest to fake.

heres a ordinary gsr

you see that big ugly plastic strip on the side? even though it has a wing, its hard to get rid of that molding and its easy to spot from a mile away. also it has no lip kit.

good thinking there, i would try judge it on the sound. But that's totally unreliable. :p

you didn't run a type R bcuz a type R woulda smoked you yo' it got big vtec engine dat goes waaah then weeeee then wheeeyyyyyy then scrrrrit then waaaah hen weeee then wheeeeyyyyy... yah it mad fast yo

but really, i got smoked by a GSR w/ intake and exhaust i'm thinking a type R woulda smoked me bad and i got you by a car....it probably wasn't a type R

Those DC2 Type-R's are so so damn nice. I was in love with them for absolutely ages. I was tossing up between it and the WRX and decided to go with the rex because I'd probably never get to see the power of the top end of the DC2 which is where it really shines.

So yeah, I'd go with the side doubting that it was a real Type-R.

And btw, I'm so jealous, where the hell do you find all these people to race?
