RSX type S vs Civic Si

yo every one I just picked up my new rsx. i decited to switch into the import world because my old car was a mustang. but any ways heres the story. I had my new RSX type S black for about a month now but when i just have not for a full week yet one night i was cruzin with my gf and a blue civic si pulled up next to me at a red light and looked at me and smiled so i figured he wanted to race but i didnt want to make a fool of my self because i just got this car and i was new with the whole manual trany especially because its a 6 speed so i didnt want to race him but my gf talked me into it so um i reved my engine at him waited till the green light and when it terned green be both took off i stayed head to head with him for about 5 seconds and when i hit about 6k rpm in 2nd thats when my i-vtec kicked in and i started to pull way pretty fast after that he was like 2 carlenghts behind me both blowing the next set of red lights but after like a little bit he gave up and i was gone. That night made my week because it was my very first street race and i won it . :sun:

I hope your not so dumb to really run through red lights.

congrats on the new car but be careful

You better have been racing deep in the night. And you better have been racing in a 35 or above zone.

There was some &*%#head that posted a race story in which he raced a slow car in his turbo'd 98 Accord. He said he went 90 in a 25. 90 in a fukkin 25? You guys do know that 25 mph zones are for two reasons; residential areas and school zones. I swear to God if a street racer killed my little sister or one of my friends kids or something. I would break his fukkin neck. Some people have no respect for traffic. If you're going to race in public, shut it down at like 70 tops. If you want to do something insane, do it out in the country or on an abandoned road. Coz you'd be suprised, there are kids out there on the streets and while you're going 95 mph, a kid might jump out from behind a car, even if it's 3 in the morning.

Some f*ck head? How dumb are you? First of all where I was racing nobody lives there. Secondly you wouldn't know what the scenery looked like. Third It was in the early morning. You shouldn't be saying shi*t when you don't know shit. And racing a slow car?....what the hell is that.....maybe I raced a slow car because its my friend. Get the facts straight and use some common knowledge be for you talk sh*t.:finger:

let me clear up my story a little first of all i was raceing at like 1:30 am and it was a 45mph straightaway zone with a set of lights like every 200 yards so also a two lane street so im sure there was no kids running around and i made sure no piggies were around either . and also the red light part it just terned red when i ran through it so it didnt have enough time to tern green for the other road yet couse i just lissed the yellow light but the civic totally blew the red light . peace :sun:

90 in a 25 is stupid NO MATTER WHAT, $iko!:mad: :mad: :mad:

How many miles did you have on your car when you raced? You ever heard about the so-called break in period :eek: ? This is the reason why I always recommend to buy a new car instead of pre-owned. You never know what kind of idiot had it before you and what horrible things were done to it.

My friend got probation for doing about the same in his Impreza RS. He`s just another drunken dumb fuck who will kill himself and be proud of it. He has a video of his friend racing his 98 325i against a Tahoe of all things. In short, the Tahoe cuts him off and the Beemer guy panics and turns sharply only to make his car flip over at about 90 mph and skid for half a football field. The kid was fine, but I think it`s only because he was in a Beemer. He`d probably be dead in a civic.

That's what i was thinking too. How many miles did you have on your car? I don't think it's a very good idea to redline the car when it's so new. I know everyones "break-in" procedure is probably different, but isn't it keep it low on the rpm for at least 3,000 miles?

mostly brake in are for autos isn't it? or is it they have longer break ins? o hell likei know someone answer this

breakins let the bearings and rings loosen up a little, and wear in the clutch. 500 or so stop and go miles is usually ok. so how about 125 in a 40, that is above 35. i got pulled over drag raciong going 125 in a 40, got let off too.

I have a hard time believing any cop would let someone off if they were clocked at over 3 times the posted limit. Either you knew the cop or you got on your knees to perform some service.

i-VTEC doesn't "kick in". It's in all the time, just at different lift heights. That's why the "i" is there. Instead of two separate camshaft profiles, it has one sloping profile which it slides down as revs move up.

i know a guy who got let off drag racing his VR4 against a Mustang the cop let him off because he liked the VR4 so much

qouted sayin "why'd you race that piece of shit your car is a much nicer car"


- that qoute got nothing to do with me its what the cop said

my experience was much like that. basically, i was racing a viper, and the cop told me that he never sees cars like that racing out there, so if my record was clean, he'd let me go, it was, he did. he also told me that he probably would have taken me to jail if it was those obnoxious little noisemakers racing, or something to that effect.

Running red lights is whack! Red means STOP! That is the dumbest thing that you could ever do. I hope you realize what you did is dumb and just plain stupid. If you want to play w/ your own life FINE, don't play w/ anyone else's. You're lucky you didn't kill anyone.

Dont go through red lights, thats just f**king stupid.
