i was really hyped when i got these times, i mean they are b16 in a 2nd gen times...speaking of b16 crx's

theres this kid that goes to my school and they all think they are fast with their mufflers and intakes...whatever, but this kids brother has a b16 crx with i/h/e im geussing sounded like it, maybe a vacf, well he was all driving around like an asshole and was tryin to pick a race with me in the middle of traffic

so i turn around and he follows theres still alot of traffic in the way for about 5-10 min and then we hit a part of the strip that is clear ahead, he drops it in 2nd and wait for me to do so, so i drop it in 2nd and we go at it, i kept up with him even in 2nd and then i expected him to pull but i started to pull steadily on him about a car and a half on him and then i shut it down, we catch back up to traffic and slow down

after a few lights traffic is clear again and he drops it into 2nd again...so i do the same thinkin he like missed a gear last time or something and we went again this time i pulled harder than before in the beggining and kept it steady, i was stoked because earlier in summer this kid raced my friend with a gsr del sol and pulled on him quite good? so i was expecting to loose but i pulled on him anyways it was a great night of racing street and track again all i have is an ls with intake and exhaust...

sorry didn't read all of the post or I just had a brain fart LOL. Nice times though

[civicHBsi91]

yea, maybe i can catch your times with a header and dr's

ever run your car all motor?

[liquidflame8]

wow. nice. i'll bet you were all "vtec this". lol

[civicHBsi91]

vtec is great but its really not needed to go fast *my car isnt fast but yea you all know what i mean*

on a video called roaring vtec they have a integra type r putting down 260 some hp without vtec they disabled it, im not really sure about specs or anything but i thought that was crazy and it was all motor

[200SXGTi-R]

not bad times....seems like your a good driver

[civicHBsi91]

its all about the launch and so far ive done very well, found the sweet spot to launch at and the tire pressure

next time im gonna experiment with some other things and hopefully as it gets a bit warmer the tires will grip better

[MexSiR]

Your not fast? I consider that pretty fast man, a high 14 sec car is considered pretty peppy in my opinion. My ideal car would run high 12s, below that, its too fast for me, ive only driven a mid 13 sec car and it felt really fast for me. In the beach my car feels kinda fast 15.3 sec car.
Nice driving, congrats.

[200SXGTi-R]

i just ran a 12.81 with more potential. this was with a stock turbo, front mount and boost controller. the falken azenis couldn't hold any more and the plug wire failed at the 1000 ft mark. and there is more boost too.

[200SXGTi-R]

remember the SR20VE i told ya'll bout? he ran 13.8 with I/H/E

[civicHBsi91]

my ideal goal is high 11 low 12's in the end still street legal

but for now i wanna get the best out of what i have with driver ability

[200SXGTi-R]

very possible goals... i know people with 11-12 second cars daily driven on the street in NY. i drive mine 50-60 mile per day to and from work. i just need a little more spark and some slicks...up the boost and 12.3 is attainable and i am happy. then some touch paint here and there...lol

Back when all I had was an intake and muffler I ran a 15.5.
The biggest problem I have now is my 60' time the 14.4 run was with a 2.555 60' time. So 13's are not far away
But with the extra mods I have lined up in the next month or 2 it will be seeing mid to low 14's all motor hopefully and low 13's on the bottle That is if I don't break anything.
