so, theres this new kid at work, hes very cocky and he just got a 90 - 91 Si hatch the other day and wants to race me. i asked him what its got done to it, he tells me it has a magnaflow exhaust, coilovers, and a chip.. i was like yea ok whatever. he said with the chip plugged in it revs to over 8500 and gives him tons of power, so i ask if i can take it for a drive, so he hands me the keys and tells me not to spin the tires (yea right... like i'd do that ) haha
so i take it out behind our work and pound the fuck outta this thing, well.. it hit limiter at 4500... (odd, my 90 pm6 ecu hits 7200...) i try to do a burnout in this POS and it hits limiter at 4000 with the clutch in, so i dump it and it wheel hops like mad. so much that it actually kicks it outta gear haha, so i'm bringing it back in and the limiter still hasnt changed, still hitting 4500. i give him his keys back and i'm like "yea, i'll race u now for sure" lol. his car is so slow, it bounces if u hit a fuckin leaf lol (must be APC coilovers ) but hes like "oh did u let the chip warm up so it would work?" lol i've never in my life heard of a chip that has to "warm up" to work right. so it comes to the end of the night, (i get off half hour after him) and i walk outside and he knows i get off at 9:30. get into my car, look around and hes nowhere to be seen....... i wonder why if he gets the balls to race me then i'll be sure to post up what happens and what he'll say about him losing

[Greenblurr93]

wow, i cant stand idiots that try to make it seem like they know what theyre talking about.... anyway... good luck with the race... you may need it <--sarcasm at its finest...

[1PhatCX]

lol
i just hope when a con rod shoots out, it doesnt hit my car at the line hehe. thats IF this "chip" does let him rev over 8500 like he says..... even tho the cluster goes upto 8000......

[Greenblurr93]

I really think the gene pool needs a good cleaning

[!M!}[]

OMG he let u touch his car!!!!! i would die first

[Civic Jim]

hahaha me too after the vids i have seen!!!

well i was chatting to a guy in a car store when i bought my fuel fitler and apparently his rover 216 GTI (d16A9) is the Vtec model but it only has 130 BHP, i just nodded and went "ah right.......cool" lol

its just not worth my time trying to put people right lol

good luck with the race, when u guna race some proper cars though, is there money on this?

[1PhatCX]

lol jim i know what u mean man. no money on it tho, i wanna tell him that if i win, i want him to quit, cuz he got hired in the garage when i was already supposed 2 get that job, they tell me he has more experiance and more tools.... yet hes borowing everyones tools.....

Why would the rev limiter kick in 4000? You said it was an Si? That would mean a D16A1 engine, right? Redline 6500, rev limiter 7100? That chip must have screwed something up.

Oops.. I should know, I have one of those.

[1PhatCX]

yes... his... "chip"
my old b2 did that tho, hit rev limiter at 4800 when it was cold then afterwards when it warmed up it was higher..... but it also happened on cold days, in the summer it was fine

[Onimacus]

my pm6 hits like 6500 before it warms up, then its 7200

[Hybrid1990crx]

why do you guys even know what you bounce the rev limiter at when your car is cold?

[Onimacus]

because i was late for work?

[1PhatCX]

cuz i dont give a shit about my b2, and dont give a shit about this punks car haha

dunno if the race will happen now. snow fell over night and roads are icy
