highway run ins...
i've had a few of these in the last week...
i'm not interested in hearing why highway racing isn't safe, i'm sure we all know the consequences... now on to the story... first, about a week ago, some guy in a late 80s camaro z28 is in front of me on the highway... we go around a curve that takes us from one freeway to a different one, with a 2 mile straight after the curve... he comes around, speeds to about 75ish, and backs off, with me right behind him. i speed up, move over, he speeds up, i'm at 85, and still in 4th gear. i step on it a bit more, redline fourth, shift into 5th at 110mph, and watch as the camaro starts to fall off. i hit 130 and coast, as i'm coming up on traffic... really quickly... second story... after work, i'm following a z3 3.0 on the freeway, it's busy, he's weaving in and out of traffic... i'm following behind, and we take a similar curve to a different freeway, where i get up next to him on the curve and pass him at 90ish, around the turn, but there's a car in front, so i slow and get behind him... now he's all mr. badass, so he starts flying more, but i'm right on him... we get into traffic for a bit, then when it opens up, i slide over 2 lanes, and it's open... i put him in the rearview at 120ish... i slow down, he flys past. surprise. race 3... i'm going on the freeway from the first story, with the long straight... some cheeseball in a new impala is moving fast, so i move faster. i'm moving slowly up to about 90, and he's moving faster. i leave it in 5th, and slowly catch and pass him at 110. still moving, he's a speck in my rear view now. i get up in traffic, and he finally catches me, shadowing me through the traffic. i get to a spot where it opens up, i move over, he comes up and next to me. i shift down into 4th at 85, and let him step on it. i step on it and walk him. i'm past him at 90 and moving faster, taking it to 115 before i shut down, b/c he's so far back he can't see me... not bad for the 3gen lude... and before you question me, it's breathed on, heavily, and i'm not going to vouch for when these people decided to back off... it seems that alot of my highway runs end around 100ish, when the other guy backs off... not me...

breathed on is kinda slang for modified...
it breaths better, but it's not turbo'd or fi. to run down the list... it's an 89 lude si... motor was rebuilt, new rings, rods, crank, seals... head is ported/polished and milled to raise compression .5 to 9.5:1. intake mani is polished and port matched to head... dc header, custom intake, straight pipe, thermal r&d exh, cam gears adj'd for me... that's about it...

 *takes out pen and paper and scribbles mods down* You never told me about any of that!!!! Arg, that's at least 260-270hp worth of motor in that car.... I mean, I've still got cornering prowess but..... *turns to Layla* Hon, you might need that Rover 4.0L sooner than I thought. Oh, good kills by the way.

 Or is he being overly-optimistic so he has a way of justifying the HUGE chunk of change he's going to drop on his V8 swap???

i don't know what the hp is on it, but i think octagon is being a bit optimistic...
it's easier to buy a v8 that way... the car had 130 hp stock, and i would assume that she has about 150 or so at the wheels... it's not that amazing of a motor, but it makes power, and actually makes more tq than hp... i'll dyno this summer... my 1/4 times aren't that great, but my acceleration in 2nd - 5th is pretty sick on the freeway... i'm not sure about handling prowess... i'm at the very least equal... susp. mods... eibach prokit 1.5" drop tokico blues cusco front strut brace custom rear brace 16" rims with 205/45 sumitomo htrz 2 tires. much nicer/stickier than paradas i had... keep in mind the size of the car... only about 2700lbs. wider than a civic or crx. front and rear sway bars... 4 wheel independent suspension... she's pretty sick in corners... for octagon... in those stories, the first and 3rd are from 77N to 490W to 90W... the second story is 77N to 480W... the big sweeper... i past the z3 going 90 through the sweeper...

Hey, that's right around the Brookpark Road-Parma exit. I worked at the Mr. Hero near there.
Also, I goofed when I read the generation of 'Lude. I thought that was the bigger 2.0L. The one that's shared with the Integra, but that's newer Preludes, right? And am I really that transparent in trying to justify a Rover 4.0L? Maybe if I start throwing challenges at Redneck then I'll really need it. :finger:

Nice suspension upgrades flylwsi, that thing must be pretty fun through some twisties.
I've been having problems adjusting to my new tires, the rear tire kinda feels like it floats through hard turns and doesnt like to stick one line. I guess I will just ride this one hard and go back to Bridgestones.
