Honda Wants Revenge!
does he have the basic bolts on? intake, header, exhaust, etc. Hmm only thing I would see taking a week is a turbo kit. You say this kid is rich and a spoiled biatch. A nitrous system can be installed in a day so it couldnt be that. Theoretically a turbo kit can be installed in a day also if you have all the parts ready, but for a shop to do it, especially if its a busy shop, then a weeks wait is expected.

Who knows Ill just turn up the boost to 10just in case = )
We run in a week so I'll let you guys know what happens.
We have to wait a whole week to find out the results? This is like a television drama or something!
haha this thread is getting interesting...
hmm do you have a lsd spidey? because that would be very useful. i would just pratice your launches and make sure your not losing traction.
if his parents paid for his car i doubt they'll give him a couple grand for a turbo kit. it seems like nos is the obvious guess. but how well can this kid drive? he'll have to pratice when to spray and things (sorry i dont know alot about nos)
i still think if you turn the boost to 10 you'll beat him, but remember to take pictures and maybe even a video of the race...

That would render more useful info then ****ing around with his lying butt...
I agree with that... but be careful, a week is actually plenty of time for a kid who is mad with revenge, has plenty of money to throw around, and a decent ammount of stupidity.
As I said before...when you look under his hood check the engine code. If it says anything other than B16A he had a swap performed(in case he doesn't know about Hondas, but I doubt it). Check for obvious modifications like turbos, nitrous, ect. Some people are saying that its too little time to have a swap done, probably because the time it takes for a clip to reach its destination, but maybe he ordered it ahead of time and it arrived this week. Other than that he might just be picking up half a car and some possible mods for that are trying to find the other half.
As for street racing. We officially don't approve of it. Unoficially, we all have done it at least once with full conscent and knowledge of our actions. In other words, we would rather not street race, but some people just need to be taught a lesson. So, in some cases there are exceptions...Hey its better than taking out a gun, walking ten paces turn and shoot. Street racing has become a new form of the duel.
Anyways spidey, if you need any info on hondas let us know...
Alright, maybe im way off but lets say this guy gets a h22 with turbo, now thats one fast car. That would take a few days and he should be in the 12s no prob. But this guy is going from a high 15 sec car to a 12 sec car, hes not gonna know how to drive with that power. My point is no matter what he does he will probably have to drop about 2 sec off his 1/4 to keep to be you, with a week he is not going to be able to learn how to drive that car with that power. I doubt he had something fast before or he wouldnt of went for that car. A car is only as fast as his driver. There is a guy in town here witha civic si coupe built with performance tires and wheels and running 10psi on a t3 t4 turbo and getting beaten by cars in the 15s. This guy will not be able to handle his new power even if he gets it.

Personaly, I think you are giving the guy too much credit. You say he is an annoying rich kid that has learned everything from mags.. he raced a car that LOOKS like it should have been much closer than it was, yet he hasnt figured out that its an SR, and there isnt much he can do in 1 week to beat you.
$5 says he shows up in a few days with a new exhaust. MAYBE new headers. We all know the tendancy of the honda crowed to exagerate exhaust gains.

If this is the case with this guy, that means his launch will be nothing but tire spin... easy win.gibbo80 wrote:Alright, maybe im way off but lets say this guy gets a h22 with turbo, now thats one fast car.

a car length should be about 1/2 a second. this should be about right, my first time at the track this one car had me by a car lenght and the times turned out to be 1/2 second apart.
You said all you have is a manual boost controller but still set at 6 psi. That right there should be low 15s and his car would be mid to high 15's.

well this thread is about 3 or 4 days old, so when is this race taking place, and also, i dunno how this kid plans on beating u, i just dont understand how much he can have done and DONE RIGHT in a week, i dont care if he owns GREDDY, proper work and tuning and driving accomidation will take more than a week, and yea it is possible he had something on order, but i doubt it, good luck!!still got my $20 on u!!

DAMN! i missed alot in the past 2 days??? i guess i see both of you guys points nismo and Rogue, but yet again i was just saying what he told me. (no offense) but i could careless about what engine is better. In the short-long run (if there is such an oxymorone) i will beat all those damn engines:D.

Whats the deal with that? people are anti street racing, even asking for threads to be closed, until someone comes along with a turbo car, when in reality a guy with a 200+ hp sr powered 240 can do more damage and destruction than a guy puttin' along in his bone stock beater. Not that either arent very dangerous, its just easier to lose control when the tires are spinning through third gear. I'm I alone in my opinion here? Is everyone crazy? whatever, just my rant. dont kill anyone, take it to a track
Once you're over about 45-50mph, it doesn't really matter how long it took you to get there. =/
I feel ya though, about the dangers of street racing. I hope that Spidey is smart enough to race on a track. But I've already given the "You kids are gonna kill yourselves." rant too many times. I'm starting to feel like an old man with it, and I'm not even 25 yet.
With regards to the race, the ease of raising Honda power levels in a short period of time, and bets, I have this to say. You're already up $40 and a parking spot. You're in the position of power, and you know you can walk away from this guy all day long. Ask him what he had done to his car, and if it's anything less than a full blown engine swap, tell him that you're gonna let him keep his money because you know your car can walk away from him any day.
If he's a rich kid with more money than mind on him, he'll push you to race him and you might even get MORE cash out of it than he's already offered. And since you gave him a way out, there's no guilty conscious about straight up stealing cash from his stupid ***.
Latest Update:
Today this guy got his car back it was in the student parking lot. Since I got out early from my last class of the day I decided to do quick check on if he had gotten any mods.
He didn't get a muffler so I'm thinking he might have gotten a header and will run it with no catback?
I also noticed a an LCD screen by his stereo close to his shifter. I am sure that wasn't there before. The guy with me said it was the MSD computer screen???
What do you guys think it's for???
No intercooler didnt look under the car to try and find NOS lines and we are now on spring break so I wont see his car again til wednesday which is when we race.

First of all please for the love of God call it nitrous, not NOS...
Second, chances are that LCD screen is an Apexi AFC computer... basically it changes existing fuel ratios, but over all it wont get him any closer to winning...
Especially if he screws with it an doesn't know what he's doing...
Your in the clear from what i can see....
