I figured since this forums is for Ini-D fans and my story is similar to that style, you guys might be able to help me out with some ideas. So here goes:

My main character(haven't decided on a name yet. Call him "MC" for now) is a college freshman who wants to join a prominent car club called Team Fusion. Fusion's leader, Rey Santos, is a good friend of the MC. Rey doesn't want to just let him in, because it will look like he's playing favorites. He tells the MC that he has to race him and keep up in order to be worthy of joining. Oh, and Rey drives a supercharged Honda Prelude making over 250hp.

The story starts with MC's car, an EG-chassis Civic, getting stolen and stripped. He has to find a way to rebuild his car so that he can race with Rey. An old performance shop owner named Shin takes him under his wing, and helps him build up his Civic. Shin used to be a circuit racer in Japan before moving to the U.S. MC meets a customer of Shin's who does autocross, and she agrees to help hone his driving skills. It turns out MC's father was a driving enthusiast, and got MC a go-kart when he was young. He competed and won a few tournaments when he was 12 or so. The father dies before MC turns 16, so he never got to see him drive for real. MC ends up having a great base to build further driving skills on, and everyone is impressed with his abilities.

Meanwhile, MC has a CR-VTEC engine and suspension in his stripped out, lightened Civic. At one point a BMW 5-seires driver accidentally taps his bumper on the freeway. He doesn't stop, and MC chases after him. A news chopper happens to catch the chase on camera, and MC gains some notoriety after the chase is televised.

Later, MC has to race Ken, another person who wants to join Team Fusion. Ken is a former amateur rally driver from the East Coast, and drives a supercharged Subaru Impreza 2.5 RS. They duke it out in the rain for the chance to race with Rey in the end.

After the race with Ken, a turbo Civic driver from a team called the Spartans asks MC to join after seeing the 5-series chase. The Spartans are a team of stripped out cars, much like the MC's. They race each other on a dark, cramped, narrow road in the country.

Finally, it's time for the big race with Rey. Rey's been hearing about MC's races, and is getting a little nervous. On a side note, Rey doesn't know anything about driving or tuning. He just expects to have magical gains when you install a part. The day before the race, he gets a nitrous system installed just in case. The MC ends up having to hold back, because Rey is so slow and uncontrolled with his driving. In the end, the MC decides to try and make a pass. Rey gets scared and fires up his nitrous, and BOOM! The Prelude's engine blows because it couldn't handle the supercharger and the nitrous.

Thus ends the first part of my story. My goal is to show the difference between tuning philosophies. The MC's car is tuned for performance only, with a stripped-out interior, lightweight wheels, and a coilover suspension. His car is really prepared to race. Rey's Prelude on the other hand, is nicknamed the "Lead 'Lude," because it is so heavy. It may be supercharged, but it also has a big bodykit, decked out interior with a big stereo system and video screens, and big, heavy wheels. It's better suited as a carpet queen at a car show than a racing car.

Any comments so far? I tried not to post too much at one time. There's actually a lot more to this.hehe

its nice to know that u know ur honda's = ) except the bolt on = power. (250 for sc lude? dun think so) it was enjoyable to read. but kinda rice.. and TF&F if you ask me. and then u inferred that MC beat Ken. how can that even happne? awd sc vs ff car in the rain? anyways... i'd read it if u have more parts. btw where's itr or king nsx? to show some rapage
