So he moves to the lane on our right, and there's a slower car coming up ahead of him, and I knew his plan was to cut me off at the pass you could say so he wouldn't break his stride. I didn't feel like getting cut off, so when he moved and sped up, I punched it to the floor and best he could do was get even with my bumper, but wasn't able to pass so he had to hit the brakes of course as we reached 85mph and then I just kept it there for a few moments. 
I just kinda laughed about it but slowed back down to my original pace. I was quite surprised he couldn't pass though. Sure my engine is modded, but I'm not expecting that much from an intake, exhaust and adjustable FPR set to 5psi. higher than stock. Either SOHC VTEC is just over rated, or my mods are doing more for me than I had thought. Both my intake and exhaust are claimed to add more to my mid end which is where most passing acceleration happens at. |
congratulations!!!!i like hearing those stories!yea i think that it has alot to do with driver...my cousin has a modded out civic hatchback with a 95 Si engine that was swapped and new cams and intake and injen exhaust and stripped all the rear seats he bought from some guy cause hes rich and saw the fast and the furious.....and i can beat him by like 1 car and half because he didnt know that redline is where to shift..he was shitfting at like 5000 rpms?? ha ha even though on his car redline was like 7500?..but he just didnt know..and all i have is a 97 ex 2 dr vtec with a new cold air intake and a cheap aftermarket exhaust.
question...was the civic modded out?like did he have rims or exhaust or anything?also is a 4 door ex a stick??? how much lighter is the 2dr ex or lx as compared to the 4dr?
cool..nice story
