how do you post pics

[fatninja19]

man, i missed you delayson...hahaha.. where've you been?
i've heard that the wrx is hard to drive fast... people say it is hard "because its AWD". I've driven a 5 spd wrx, but didnt get on it at all. Even my friend who owns a type R and is a pretty good driver says its hard to be quick in one. he says that it bogs like crazy off the line, and he said he dumped the clutch at about 4k rpm ... The fastest way to launch a WRX is by reving it up, then just dumping the clutch right? there won't be any traction problems because of awd... so whats the deal?

to delayson or any other tofu crew: how would one become one of the tofu boys?

You should inquire in the Initial D forum about being a member. It's found in the Racing forum, so just back up a few pages. That's probably your best bet...

Yes, the thing you see out of 99% of all the top fuel dragsters is what is called a SuperCharger... or a Blower. Not many that i know are powered by Turbochargers.

the early honda's, like the CVCC 600 was rwd... if im not mistaken... and i do believe the S2K is also. Im not a honda buff, so im not one to ask.

Depending on the year of the Corvette, with todays technology you can swap out the tired old 350 with a Vortec 350 with 330hp/380tq... which is about 50-65% more than what was stock on anything Corvette from like 74-82... those years Corvettes werent all that fast. Just make sure to make the Vortec 350 EFI for more ponies.


Hope i was helpfull.

currently only 2 hondas are RWD. one is the S2K and the other is a NSX. and about being a tofu crew. you have to ask Tom_S8. in the initial D forums. but i haven't heard from him in ages!! sooooo i dunno. but might as well try right?

you shouldnt even consider a civic when the acura rsx is out there... come on think about it. My RSX is almost as fast as a cobra.

Not everyone's mommy n daddy will buy them an RSX for their first car...:bandit:

[RACER D12]

Rsx is nice but its only got a 2.0 200hp not a big enuff engine for me you can only mod a RSX so far before you have to do some heavy mods.

And i dont want a honda i just wanted to know if they had any Rwd ones

[fatninja19]

YO Captain... you got a twin turbo huh? I really hope you're being sarcastic... I dont know of any twin turbo 4 cylinders that work well..

[CaptainRSX]

its called 17 grand at a racing store.. and it works fine, and your assuming that the audi tt doesnt work very well either.. right?

[BlkCamaroSS]

Let me get this straight:

A base RSX Type S starts around $24K. You put a $17K TT set up on it, plus your other modifications. You have over $41K in your car. WTF for??? For that amount of bank you could have gotten a TT Supra, a 03 Cobra, any 98-02 LS1 F-body, a slew of old muscle car beasts (restored or not), or hell, even a used Z06. All of these have more potential then your RSX will ever have, just because of your motor limitations (size, life with TT set up).

Why just waste perfectly good money, I mean I understand working on a car and making it your own. Why start with an RSX Type S when you have at least $17k+ to work with afterwards???

Just doesn't make sense...

[LjasonL]

c'mon guys, isnt it obvious hes just making his car up? his mod list sounds exactly like the "3 honda civics with spoon motors, turbos and NOS, and motec system exhaust" line in the fast and the furious.



man, wrx's are a lot harder to be quick off the line in that most people think. rev it all the way to redline, hell put your foot on the floor with it bouncing off the rev limiter, and drop the clutch, it will still bog. not to mention your clutch and tranny wont last too long like that. its even harder in an rs/ts like mine, even less power. its all about slipping the clutch JUST right to keep it from bogging, err kinda yanking on it a couple times, i dunno how to describe it. its possible to get 1.9 60ft's in a stock 2.5rs if you can drive it well, but its also very possible to get 2.4's if you cant.

The audi TT isnt a twin turbo...
