my friends and i decided to check out a new location and try it out. so i raced 3 different times.

first time was against a 95 Del Sol. he beat me buy his car length. i bounced my shit off the rev limiter and lost all rpms going from 1-2.

second time was agianst a 2002 Sentra SER. he jumped the line by 1/2 car. i still caught him and won by 2 cars.

third time was agianst a 1992 Civic Si. he got a better luanch but was no match. i cought him at the end of first and had 3 cars by the end of second.

plus 2 weeks ago i raced a mazdaspeed protege. i lost by 2 cars. damn his boosting 6lbs.

oh well not bad for a Automatic H23.

automatic h23? wtf happened.

shitty about the del sol, i think that was the first car i ever raced was a del sol si/vtec. it only lost by 1/2 to 1 car length. fast little thing for stock.

IALuder · 07-10-2005, 09:07 PM

That...or some double penetration.

IALuder · 07-11-2005, 03:20 AM

wtf. DP = Down Payment.

*ChrisCantSkate* · 07-11-2005, 09:12 AM

*AzCivic* · 07-11-2005, 10:52 AM

down payment on what? the car you already bought?

IALuder · 07-11-2005, 12:15 PM

i got a loan out for the car. then i need to lower the amount i got. so the monthly payment wasnt so high. sold the motor and used it to make the payments smaller.

Mischief · 07-11-2005, 04:34 PM

How do you launch your auto? Do you prime it (hold the gas and brake at same time) or do a neutral bomb (rev it up a bit in neutral then drop it into gear) I've tried both at a track and got better times out of the neutral bomb, but it does horrible for the transmission so..

i drop mine from N at 4 grand. not red line. dropping from red line is murder.

Well, you got it for a bargain. I can't complain.

TimmyHollins · 10-19-2020, 09:26 PM

May I ask though, how did you convince them to give it to you for a reduced price?
