Turbo vs. Turbo

[GSRwBOOST]

One afternoon I was on my way home dropping a friend off. We were headed up Sepulveda Blvd, near Santa Monica. Heavy traffic northbound, nothing southbound. (street paralleling the freeway).

This white Integra rolls by me real slow and the guy shakes his head as I look over. My friend looks at me and says he just dissed you.. and we both laughed.

So we end up passing him and him passing us.. all at about 5mph.. and he does it again. At this point I'm like ok, whats the problem beotch... I leaned out the window and asked him if he wanted to race. It was a white Integra LS with no real mods visable.

him: what you got?
me: Built bottom end and turbo
him: bullshit! your stock

me: what you got?
him: stock... wanna race for pink slips?
me dazed and confused: huh?

him: rev your engine
me: it wont do anything...
him: it will... rev it..

*jake revvs a couple grand... nothing happens*

him: bullshit your stock!

me: Lets see how stock I am....

I turned got over in front of him and flipped a bitch facing the other way. I motioned out the window for him to follow me and he did. We both lined em up and I waited for him to give the signal.

He nodded and we were up and running.

I dropped the clutch spun a bit... turbo spooled and out of the hole I had a length on him. I looked in the side mirror as I went to second and he was making an effort. (best mod to date... Quaife LSD):bounce:

I pulled second at 8k, and pulled another lenght... my friend at this point is looking behind us seeing if the guy is still there... 8k heading into third.. and I pulled another length and half... with Mr. Stock still falling behind. I pulled fourth at 8k and kept in it for a small timeframe.. putting what seemed like another length according to my friend.

I slowed and waited for homeboy to catch up. He caught up and as he gets to me, he tries not to do a ricer flyby and hits the breaks next to me.. slows.. and speeds up to get even again... but as he gets even with me... his BOV goes off.

He sticks his lanky ass out the window and says.. I'm turbo too :rolleyes:

We pulled into a gas station for me to get gas and us to chat. He starts telling me how "vtec" isn't good for turbo, bla bla bla.. I just looked at him and shook my head...

Apparently he had just got his turbo and thought he make quick work of me.. you know.. the "bullshit your stock" Integra GSR.

:D

LOL, that is hilarious. Sounds like he was a major asshole. I raced a guy in a 1.8t this weekend that was a dick that claimed to be totally stock other than lowering. So I ate him by a good 3 or 4 car lengths by the top of third. He came up to me adn fessed up that he was chipped, intake adn had exhasut. He was all waht do you have? I responded "stock":D.......

I ended up telling him that I had a JRSC at 10 psi and then he was all cool all of the sudden. Funny thing is there were like 5 VW's cruising together and I beat every single on of them. I guess he wsa the fastest because he was the last to try me.....They were pretty cool guys after that...

hahaha, nice! You should have raced for pink slips :)

[02GTI1.8t]

Steve, If you ever wanna race a stock 1.8t im more than willing....too bad we couldnt meet up over spring break, it would have been interesting I think. I wanna race an older 1.8t with chip to see what the outcome is like.

anyways nice kills, both of you.

Jeff, when are you going to get your first mods? Have you decided what you want? I'm up for a race whenever :)

[2000SiVTEC]

yup I am up to race whenever too. The last one was supposedly a '02 it had wheels like your car........

well right now I dont have a job so all my money in the bank is going towards the payments but hopefully this summer Ill get some stuff done. If i can get suspension and a chip by next year Ill be happy. I wanna run a 15 at bandimere stock also before I do anything. (I think a mid 15 could be possible, but who knows)

Did the guy tell you it was an 02 cause you could get the 17" wheels as an option in 00 and 01 also. Did it have a 1.8t badge on the back, cause 01's dont have the badge just the 02's. I sould be back in town may 14th or so, Im gonna go to the club clash that friday, but we can defiantely meet up and run whenever.

[2000SiVTEC]

yup it had a 1.8t badge on the back. That is one of the only reasons I really wanted to race him. And I still only think maybe a high 15 is possible up here stock. but who knows......When you gonna be down again, Jeff?

[SC-MECHAM-WS6]

I'll race for pink slips GSRwBOOST... :)

Ill be back around may 13 or 14. I think the main thing that would hold me back from a mid 15 is the stock tires. It could be possible with the spare removed, me on a diet, and a good launch. :D This car has exceeding my expectations so far. Only time will tell I guess. It should be an interesting season. ;RoCkOn;

I had a very similar experience with my old Galant VR4.

him: Is that a real Galant VR4? (no, it's dark green with color matched wheels and has VR-4 badge :rolleyes: )
me: yes
him: let me hear the BOV
me: there is no positve boost unless under load (atleast not in my set-up).

him: (who aparently owned a "performance shop" where RMC currently is): Man, I could do shit to that car you wouldn't believe.
me: Like what? Open a Nopi catalog.

Light turns green and I do a 5000 rpm AWD launch with him and his Accord checking out my tail lights. [small 16G @ 16 psi at the time good for 15.3 @ 90 with a *severly bogged* launch (2.3 60')]

Posers who think they know more about your car than you: :fu:
