so a friends friend has a rsx-s and he's been wanting to race so last night finally did on route 80 we went from a roll twice at 40 mph up to around 125 and i won by about half a car. His mods clutch, fly wheel, suspension, intake, 16" rims and new tires. My mods 3" pulley. What you guys thinks i did good ? ps: i had a passenger with me also

 

should i have beaten him by more ?

 

Idk, you should've had him by a bit more like one car or one and a half. But good win anyway.

 

With the pulley he dosent stand a chance. Tuned with a good driver that isint afraid to use all those rpms can be quite the competition thought.

Nice cars tho, almost baught one.

EDIT: forgot man, nice kill!

 

yea but he did have a new clutch fly wheel and intake... my tires are bald also... and he had smaller wheels... he could have had more but not sure

 

and i also had an extra 200 lbs passenger

 

Do not fear as our boost will overcome japenese invasion.

 

The weight of the passenger will definately make a difference.

 

haha yea... idk i think he was lying about what he had cause i raced one on the highway before and beat him by much more of a distance... i cant see how just a clutch flywheel wheels rims and a intake could make him keep up that much... but i know if i wouldnt have had that passenger would have been by more

 

My friend has an 02 cl-s. He has a custom intake. Sounds awesome but it's automatic. I know the HP on those are pretty high. How would I fair in a race against him from a dig?

 

do it and find out!

 

Those 3.2 CL-S's are awesome... 260hp.. like 250 lb/ft... I dunno how much they weigh... but those power numbers speak for themselves.

 

Yeah, i almost bought a cl-s but they are very hard to find in stick with low miles

 

what did your tires being bald have to do with anything

 

bald = bad traction

 

not when your racing from a roll.

 

yea but idk... wins a win still beat em felt good

 

I think the light weight flywheel is a great upgrade for those cars, because it allows him to up to his most agressive power range ( high rpm power ) much quicker.
I'm certain thats what made him keep up with you.

 

yea thats what his boy was telling me... fly wheel and clutch... plus i had an extra 200lbs

 

not really the clutch but the flywheel would have definetly help him to get to the point where the vtec is most powerful

 

yea like i pulled him at first then he started to creep on me... but he was half way through 3rd and i was at the top of second... then i just pulled him in 3rd by about half a car and stayed there but def. heard the vtec at 120

 

If you where to do a flywheel upgrade to, you'd murder him pretty damn good

 

how exactly does vtec sound?

 

yea... maybe thats next

 

I still don't know....I'd set the race up again without any passengers from a launch to 120.

Off topic: Crate Engine Depot told me 30-90 days to get GM Stage 1!!!! I won't be beating on my car for another 3 months But hey, my cel is gone now that I haven't gone passed 3000 rpm in a week.
