Default BREAKING NEWS!

let me start by listing some details. the #'s in my sig, are the #'s that are made off my "race" setup, which includes:

KN filter
custom 70mm headerback
vafc2 tuned

the following encounter occured on my "street" setup, that i have been running for the last 3 months or so. my street setup includes:

KN filter
stock cat
HKS hi-power exhaust
vafc2 tuned


let the games begin:

about 15mins ago i decided it was time for a lil starbucks run so i hop in the S2 and head out. on the way there i run into a new(paper tags) bright red MS3. we run next to eachother for about a mile or so until we get lined up at a red light. as i sit there listening to my ipod pumping out Foo Fighters acostic. i see out of the corner of my eye that the MS3 dude and his passenger talking back and forth and laughing. so after some hand waving, i finally roll down my and the following dialog is dispensed:

MS3:"hey bro, you know what this is?
me:"oh, ya, its a over glorifed 3."
MS3:"haha, no no, its a honda killing machine."
me:"right, right, that thing have and exhaust leak?"
MS3:"why?"
me:"cause your making no sense."
MS3:"whatever, lets go at this lite."
me:"for shizzle."

RACE#1---from a dig:

i launch at 7k and put 4-5 cars on him to the top of 3rd.

RACE#2---10mph roll:

i do a rolling clutch drop and instantly pull a car ahead. 2nd i stay a car ahead. 3rd i add another car, at the top of 3rd i have a solid 2.5 cars and i am WALKING away as i lef off.

as luck would have it, hes headed to starbucks too. i just look over and laugh, he flips the bird as i pull ahead of him in the drivethrough line. i win. bitch.

I love how they're in a station wagon and they are laughing at you! Nice kill. Based on your dyno #'s sounds about right.

LOL, a little immature with the glorified comment, but they were acting like douches anyway.

How much power do you think you're putting down on the street setup? Ever think about throwing a testpipe on it?

on the "street" setup i still trapped at 103, so i figure im still putting around 215 or so the wheels. i really dont know. my low end is really stong, but with the cat and the HKS above 7.5k the car feel VERY weak compared to my "race" setup.
