2 Import Murders

Well the day is near that my Talon comes back from getting it fixed after that asshole t-boned me.... anyways....... first kill.....

it's real warm here(or well warmer than it should be) and i was out crusing after dropping my g/f off to work and this lowered, tinted, and a sweet sounding honda civic SiR pulls up next to me at the stop light just before polo park and he revvs a lil then turns his stereo down to hear if i revv back too and i did gave him the sound of BOV and dual dragunfire exhaust, light turns green he dumps it and pulls ahead a car and i'm right at his back bumper by the time he shifts to 2nd then for a few seconds we stayed like that then he shifts to 3rd and it's all over, BANG! my rear bumper is at his headlights and he shifts to 4th and thats it for him i was about 1-2 cars ahead by the time he hit 5th, i hit the hazards and he quickly hit his breaks and made a very sharp right turn and was slipping and tapped the back bumper of a bus.........


then no lie about 5 minutes after it was on again only his time in the form of a Nissan 240SX and I've seen this guy before he claims to have a turbo'd SR20.. so he gives me the nod and revvs, no signs of BOV or turbo, so I'm like ok this guys lying..... so we go from a roll start and up ahead the road kinda zig-zags(BIG MISTAKE for a rear wheel drive, good for FWD sorta better for AWD) and we hammer it(he was auto too I found out after) doing about 60kmh and i almost right away start to pull and as we enter the zig-zag i notice his car swaying out of control and slow down because it's unfair to him, so out of the turns i hammer it and pull away when i ran a red light(UH-OH!) thank *** there was ice there because there just happened to be cops sitting there so I was lucky they didn't notice us racing all i got was "please rember to do atleast 10km under the posted speed limits"

and a small update i'm removing the turbo and getting an RSM supercharger insted.

the sc is not turned by exaust gases. instead it is turned from the crankshaft with a pulley and belts. A sc will always be on, so giving you more torque on the low end usuallyt when the turbo doesn't turn. I hope i got it right

I dunno I'm kinda still thinking about it. On one hand I want to keep the turbo and on the other I wanna try something different. I dunno, no money right now because we're working on a deal to get my g/f a car(crappy Honda Civic LX) so I'll prolly keep the turbo...
Thanks alot guys...... Oh by the way I belive the RSM supercharger is one you can turn on and off....

I also think you should keep the turbo.

Maybe add a little something to help reduce the spool up time..

Nice kills. I would personally keep the turbo and put the money you would have spent into another aspect of your car.

BTW I'm talking about Cavalier just to let you guys know, my TSi ain't coming back till Monday because she got t-boned awhile back :(

But yeah I'll just keep the turbo, get it better tuned, get it so it kicks in faster, and most importly get myself a damn front mount intercooler but nobody makes them for my poor Cavy!
