Nice kill/death.

Next time when you launch it. 6K then DUMP it so you don't pwn your diff when you bog.

You need to turn VSA completely off.

And remove the CDV (clutch delay valve).

i have heard that these new SI's are pretty quick when modded. Just like the RSX's....they take mods very well and can easily achieve 200whp. That's as much as we put out stock.
I know the RSX's are lighter than the S2000's...how much do the Civic's weigh?

I woud have staged the races in my favor a bit more. You put yourself at a disadvanage big time.

Obviously starting off in 30 put you nearly @ redline in first out way outside of vtec in 2nd.

45 is the PERFECT speed to start @ with the S in 2nd gear. You would have stomped him.

considering that u misshifted, didn't launch properly (feathered clutch, cdv, vsa on), top down, u actually did surprisingly well against a modded si.
