FINALLY raced an RSX Type-S

This was last week. Finally someone with an RSX-S was at the local hangout. I asked him if he'd like to run for fun. He said sure. I asked him for a 40mph roll because my syncros in 2nd gear are shot and I can hardly get it to stay in gear.

His Mods: Intake, Exhaust, Header (2002 RSX-S)
My Mods: TPR Intake, Power FC

I finally managed to get it in 2nd gear and we went from a 40mph roll. By about 100mph I had 2-3 carlengths on him. Seemed like his shifted was very good. When we got back he wouldn't get out of his car to talk or anything. He picked up his girlfriend and left immediately. Looked like he was upset. Poor guy.

FYI: I was driving my '01 Celica GT-S for those that didn't pick up on that.

Oh SNAP!
I thought it was in the all-trac and was thinking "hell yeah damn good shifting"

LOL, well way to go man. Those Celicas are damn fine. :naughty:

hehe the Alltrac would have wasted him. It feels pretty quick now at 12psi since I got the front mount intercooler on. It pulls past 100mph A LOT harder than the GT-S. Gotta love f/i

Bro you gotta get it to a track. I remember you had a best of like 14.4 or 14.2 with the GT-S right?

What do you think the All-trac is runing?
btw where are you located right now? I'd check your profile but people move so often that its better to just ask.

How much power do you get from the FC?

nice run the rsx-s should have been a better race but you wasted him...I would like to see you guys from a dig....

nice kill man

well considering your GTS was running high 14's stock i think the outcome was obvious. anyways nice kill, what are you gonna do about your tranny?

Dont the type s's run a similar time stock compared to a GTS?

Stock for stock, I think it would be an awesome race, both are capable of high 14s bone stock if you know how to drive it. I'm actually suprised that with just the intake and the FC you were able to walk him like that, I thought it would have been much closer than 2-3 lengths. Elsewise, awesome kill.

well the rsx has only a intake and exhuast, the rsx needs cams and a reflash to really wake up. so mod for mod, that gts was expected to win, since vip09 kept on saying it would run high 13's to 14 flat if his power fc was tuned right

if i remember he was low 14's when he was at the track.... and that was before he got it properly tuned... i would expect very high 13's...

but that's just me.

Either way, you are kicking ass there bro

If they were stock that would pair up for a really close race. It always tends to be who can figure out how to launch on the Vtec engines that tends to win. Props on your win

heh nice kill, so much for teh GT-s into retirment thing....

Musashi: I'm located in Mobile, AL. I would guess the alltrac is into the 13's now. It pulls pretty good at 12psi on the 20G. When I get to higher speeds it pulls A LOT harder than the GT-S.

97SLGT: Not sure, it all depends on how well your tune is. I would have to go on a dyno and fine tune it to get the most potential.

209 SRT: Before I raced him I asked him what year his was, 2002. When he said that I new I would beat him because he didn't have hondata or anything. I just didn't know how close it would be. I would have loved to race him from a dig.. I think the outcome would have been even more in my favor. I can pull consistent 2.1 60' times at the track on street tires and I can launch it very well on the street also.

TatII: For now, I'm just taking it easy. I have a couple more things I need to do to the alltrac to make it a little more stable for daily driving before I take the GT-S down for tranny repair.

Bolt on's do wonders for the k20's, cams and reflash help out alot too but I think this was a drivers race

and it seems vip has a stronger motor and better driving skills than the average gts/driver

good kill none the less, keep em comin.

When we got back he wouldn't get out of his car to talk or anything. He picked up his girlfriend and left immediately. Looked like he was upset. Poor guy.

i dont get it, it's all about having fun, and respect for cars/ethusiasts all alike, but i guess i understand where he's coming from,.....

nice race vip, now all you need is timeslips ;) and dynosheets perhaps :thumbsup:

ooh he's got slips lol

lots of slips

he has slips up the wazoo of the gt-s, just needs some for the alltrac

Good kill Vip. I was hoping it was the All-Trac but in that case the race would have been men vs boys.

ya, i meant after he gets it tuned, both the all-trac and gts :thumbsup:

I might be taking the All-trac to the 1/4 mile track Friday. I'll post up some slips if everything goes as planned. Shooting for 14.0. This is at 12psi on stock fuel system.

How many times did I tell you to come race me when I had my Type S? so don't complain about how you cant race them

Nice kill, you wouldnt have beaten me tho!!

Hehe.. You better have had a reflash or something of the like.. and running 13's in the 1/4 if you want to beat my little celica.
