A few quickies (including my girlfriend)

I was cruising down I94 at about 80-85mph and I saw this Jaguar S type closing onto me pretty quickly. By juding the race, I guess it was a 2002ish V8.

I slowed down to 75 and moved over to the right. As he was trying to pass me, I sped up a little and he got the hint. He stomped it and so did I. He got a little headstart but I made that up pretty quickly. From about 90 to 140mph we were dead even, and I slowed down because there was traffic.

Wow, I would have never gone THAT fast if I had known that I was going that fast. I was looking at the RPMS and make the shifts and as I looked over it said 140 so I slowed down.

The guy kept on speeding, but I slowed back down to 80.

Then this new Mazda 3 hatchback was speeding up behind me just like the Jaguar did at first. I let him pass me and as he was passing me at about 100mph, I stayed right on him. He moved to the right and I passed him and he got behind me. I stomped it and he did too, I moved away from him fairly quickly and he took the next exit as I was slowing down.

I was REALLY impressed with that Mazda. Those little 2.3L 4 cylinder 160 hp engines make really nice power.

And lastly, I was going to dinner with my girlfriend. The light in front of me was turning red and there was a car in the right lane and I saw a Camaro with a custom hood behind me. I sped up and passed the guy in the right lane and moved over. I stopped way before the line to see what it was and I saw the SS. It was the newest generation camaro (LS1??) Looked at my girlfriend and said "that guy would rape me" and turned the VSA off. She said, are you gay? J/K. I eased off the line and slowly accelerated as did he. I was a car length ahead of him going about 40 when all of the sudden I hear his loud ass engine and a little chirp. As he's passing me I gun it. He's about a car lenght in front of me and we stay like this til about 70 and I slow down because there was a red light in front of us. As I'm making my stop the light turns green and he nails it. I slowly ease off the lane and slowly accelerate to 45 as he's making a fool of himself. (I know my limits, and I wasn't gonna race this guy in front of my girlfriend from a stop with my FWD car) I could see that guy going "wtf is that thing doing keeping up with me" when we had that little run. I bet he thought he'd whoop my ass but barely beat me.

This J32A2 is the only SOHC vtec engine where you can actually hear and feel the vtec from a block away.

That's ok, I bet he doesn't have heated leather seats and heated rear view mirrors.

I came to the conclusion that this car woluld be a riot with some mods.

wait...what kinda car do u have??

95 Civic DX with a Vtec JDM d15b swap plus I/H/E
































But I was racing with my 2001 Acura CL Type S.

ohhhh okay. dont know too much about the acuras besides the integras. what do those newer CL type s come with(Hp/tQ)

260/232

With I/H/ and turbo...A guy was putting out 435 - 370 to the wheels.

The header alone adds about 30-40 whp

Mine is bone stock, just got some shocks and springs and a new navigation DVD :biggrin:

where u from too? I94? Im guessing somewhere near chicago b/c i take I94 sometimes.

DVD....nicccccce. always soemting to keep you entertained lol.

lol, it's a navigation DVD.

Here's a vid of the guy with the 370 whp car.

http://www.flwse.com/images/steve/Ramanan/Turbo_vs_Stock.mpg

The car with the camera is a totally stock CL type S. Keep in mind, that one has 260 hp. Stock for stock, it's about as fast as a E36 M3 or a 04 G35.

Now look what the other CL type S does to it with the turbo. Pretty impressive for a luxury car. I know it doesn't sound like a luxury car in that video, but I can't hear my engine at all unless im in VTEC.

OH yeah, the guy with the camera has a CAI and is driving as fast as he can. They're both 6 speeds

I was going from a Chicago suburb to Detroit

cool video
does a header really add 30-40 whp???????
my uncle owns a 96 nsx and replaced the stock header with a comptech header and he barely got 15 to the wheels
sounds fishy, because the ca is N/A
now if you said a straight pipe in a supra or VR4 adds 30-40 whp, now that's more beleivable

If a header costs $1000 and an intake $300, you better get something for it!

Those are average numbers. So on average, a header will give you 27 whp, considering the 20% loss, that's about 33hp.

An Intake (IceBox) will give you 17 hp, so about 14whp.

If you go to www.acura-cl.com you'll find out that a lot of people gain well over 30 hp at the wheels with just the header.

And the car with the camera is a mid 14 second car.

Yeah, pretty sad when people try to talk but they have no idea what's going on.

ohhh damir look at the sport compact car issue with the cl type s and realize that your so called header would not add that much hp cause if it did the final dyno notes on their test with their supercharged cl would be way higher.

Real people with real numbers. That's the best way to research aftermarket parts.

btw, which SCC issue, the one with the supra on the cover page?

you just posted some bs about peoples claims and mama jokes :grinno:

check it out, if you can provide some real info that headers give you a 30hp to the wheels gain and not to the crank then i'll beleive you.

and don't get so irritated with someone who doesn't beleive you. as you see, i'm not the only one who doesnt believe it, so it must be somewhat wierd don't you think? not impossible, just wierd.

lol, I just posted a link with people who did dynos before and after the headers.

If you don't believe me just ask one of them. I don't have the headers, they do.

its coo man

jspec has been a royal pain in the butt towards damir. he is justified to return the favor

Haha, you should see Jpec's private messages he sent me

pm them to me


please

lamehonda just doesnt know who's side to take, im just trying to prove a fucking point before some young dude goes and gets that system and go and rambles at the mouth at how much hp he gets and later gets dissapointed by figuring out the hard way that he got stiffed....its virtually impossible to make that kind of hp to the WHEELS with a header on that car with that much displacement obviously they dont know bullshit when they see it.....just read the SSC issue and realize that they published dyno notes to show you that companies will do anything to sell you shit. If thats the case with the header providing that much power every cl owner that was into modifying would own one. Shit you would probaly believe the sellers on ebay that sell their cheap ass intakes add 30hp. Now just email SSC and tell them that their article with the Comptech supercharger, header, and exhaust power gains were bullshit and see what kind of response you get.
See youngvr4 these guys dont know what true power really is.........ya'll try getting a turbo system and just then you may be able to pull off some hp numbers like that and get people to believe you!

If thats the case with the header providing that much power every cl owner that was into modifying would own one

First of all, click on the link above. It's a CL website with people who actually OWN the car and did DYNOS before and after installing. Go ahead, read your SCC.

Also, Comptech headers for the CL cost more than a thousand dollars. If it gave people 10 hp, noone would buy it.

lamehonda just doesnt know who's side to take..........

I am not taking anybodys side. If you think I should take sides you should be banned. Having an open mind prevents flaming.

Hey honda, I'd send them to you but I deleted all my messages this morning.

Plus Jspec, noone was really against you, everyone just hated the way you told the story and then acted like you owned the forum.

yea no doubt damir.....i do have have to agree with you on that...i guess we all need to grow up but yea no hard feelings......i just wanted everyone to accept a true story but hey everyone has their own opinions. All i am saying is that just do a little more research before you believe a company, if you need hardcore evidence got to honda-tech.com and everybody there knows what they are talking about....and like i said i'll help you out with everything you need for your cl cause i do know quite a bit about hondas and plus my friend has one that we ar orking on and i'll send you pics as soon as i can. Ohh yea no hard feelings either lamehonda.

don't let topics get this o/t. if u'd like to discuss it, either start a new thread or take it to pm's plz...
