me: lol
him: its not the fastest thing out there (sarcasm) but eh
him: its a good car
me: yea it is
him: well its FF
me: id race you but you have about a 100hp advantage against me
him: you can pick the course and rules
me: manual or auto?
me: for your car?
him: manual
me: stay in 1st gear
me: lol
him: hp isnt everything
him: whats your engine specs/
me: 7th gen coupe
him: how much torque is it putting out
him: and whats your gear ratio like
me: not that much unfortunatly
me: gearing ratio i dunno cuz i dont bother b/c its a auto
him: mmm, i assume it has ABS then
me: yea
him: and your cars a FF too right?
me: well yea
him: hm
me: all hondas cept for the s2000 is FF
him: yeah the only way its fair is if we do like
him: cat and mouse with you picking the course
me: alright
me: so how long have you been into cars?
him-6 months or so and had my car for 3 months
him: we're doing with passing rules or no?
me: its 1 lane each way
me: if you want to do that
me: go ahead
him: sure, why not
him: makes things interesting
me: haha okay
him: ive been into cars for about 6 months
me: o
me: what mods you got?
him: im gonna put a supercharger on it
him: right now im just replacing the things that my dad didnt though
him: like my clutch is gone atm
him: lol
me: o
me: how long you have the car for?
him: im getting a cold air intake in a month or two
him: about 3 months
me: o
me: thats coo
him: im going to set it up as a jet intake
me: o
me: thats coo
me: so ya into drifting?
him: i cant drift dude
him: i have a FF
him: i powerslide
me: o
me: i was asking in general
me: not if you do it w/ your car
him: yeah
him: drifting and powersliding are similar
me: o
him: whatre you putting on your car?
him: j/w
him: turbo?
me: so far only catback greddy evo II and SRI
me: nah no turbo for me
me: not on this motor anyways
him: you should really get the ABS removed
him: that ***** gay
me: o
me: why?
him: because, it just makes you roll over more
him: and it wears out your brakes and tires
me: ohh
me: well its a daily driver
me: so abs is good to have
him: no, even daily
him: its still better without
me: ohh
him: well assuming you know how to brake
me: hrm
me: thats interesting
me: so so far your cars stock?
him: i ordered a new k&n air filter
him: it should be in tomorrow
him: but other then that, yep
me: ohh
me: but your going to get a CAI right?
him: cai?
me: cold air intake
him: i havent decided how i want to set up the pipes
me: so your going custom?
him: probably
me: o
him: im thinking about making a V with it and having two intakes
him: one at each side of the grill
me: ohh
him: and make them both jets
me: that sounds cool
me: dam man, that dual intakes sounds cool
him: you know what a jet intake does right?
me: nah what is it
me: im new to the car scene
him: its like a cold air but as the pipe comes closer to the engine it gets slightly smaller
him: it pressurizes the air at higher speeds so it acts like a weak supercharger
him: err turbo
me: ohh
me: i thought turbos run off exhaust gases though
him: actually, i was right the first time
him: theres no lag in it
him: they do, but turbos and supers just pressurize the air
him: its the same thing, just different power mechanisms
me: ohh so its like a supercharger then
him: a weak one
him: that doesnt work at low speeds
him: lol
me: but i thought superchargers use pulleys and belts to make power, not air
him: they just compress the ait
him: air*
me: ohh
me: hrm
me: i didnt kno that
him: my jet intake doesnt do alot for me though
me: how much hp you think you'll et?
me: get*
him: it might give +10hp over normal cold air
him: at 60
him: nothing more
me: ohh
me: dam 10+ hp over a normal cold air?
him: yeah
him: at 60
me: holy **** thats alot of power
me: maybe you could help me mod my SRI into a dual jet air intake
him: if i have time
me: at most right now my SRI only gives me around the 1WHP villa
him: you can get a short ram
him: and install it yourself
me: okay
me: that sounds good
him: short rams not that bad
him: you can get a hood vent if your that worried about air temperture
him: that will help
me: ohh
him: its like $80
me: how much hp do you think ill et?
him: for a short ram by itself
me: ohh
him: between 10 and 20hp
me: new?
me: is that at the crank or WHP?
him: 10-20 hp at 60
him: is the general rule of thumb
me: so is the 10-20hp at 60 measured at the crank or at the wheels?
him: wheels
me: ohh ****
me: thats cool
me: so with a dual jet id get double the hp right?
him: short ram is in place of dual jet
him: dual jet is custom
him: short ram you can just buy
me: ohh
me: man you seem to kno your stuff
me: howd you learn all your stuff?
him: people
me: ohh
me: thats coo
him: its up to you how you want to configure your car
me: yea
him: compressed air is nice but itl reduce your engines life span
me: so how much hp do you think my catback exhaust will give me?
him: i dunno, i havent looked into exhausts that much
me: how bout a rough estimate
him: the best performance upgrades are at air systems and super/turbo
him: i have no idea, google it
him: air is about a 20% increase
him: super/turbo is about 50%
me: so if i get a intake setup and turbo i would be making alot of power right?
him: uhh, depends on what turbo
him: small or large?
me: how about just a big turbo and a intake setu up
him: its be fast
him: but
him: your not going to get anything from the turbo until your going 60 or 70
me: ohh
him: i mean you can get a really big ****ing turbo and if you had FR (which you dont) you could drift and keep up the rpm
him: but even then its just a nudge from the other car and your boost is gone
him: when your turning
me: ohh
him: im going on warcraft though
him: ill ttyl
me: k
me: cya
him: tell me if you need help with parts
so yea... long story short, he wants to "race" me on a hilly course thats 1 way in both ways.... should i accept?
and how about his dual jet intake offer? ill gain 10-20 whp above the normal CAI 
him: yeah
me: u gotta 6th gen accord right?
him: its a 99
me: so 6th gen
me: lol
him: its not the fastest thing out there (sarcasm) but eh

Duuuude! Come on! Listen to the man!
Disable ABS, get a twin jet intake and you could beat him! But watch out! He may someday beat you with his supercharger...
MWUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Hahahah!!!!!! This deserves a "point and laugh"!!!!

lmao wtf this guy is an idiot! even if ABS "makes you rollover" WHY on earth would 60% of car companies put em on their cars? lmao this guy has problems dude dont race him.
if you are going to race him
take out your spare tire and seats and jus strap an intake on that and you might be able to take him

sounds like a typical ricer to me. i wouldn't race him. really, a typical ricer would only claim around 20 or 30 hp from his intake, this ricer claims 60 from a "jet" intake?? this sounds bad. if i had to take i wild guess, id say he can't drive for **** as well.

him: because, it just makes you roll over more
him: and it wears out your brakes and tires
me: ohh
me: well its a daily driver
me: so abs is good to have
him: no, even daily
him: its still better without
me: ohh
him: well assuming you know how to brake
me: hrm
me: thats interesting
He forgot to mention that ABS causes cancer.

Hahaha that guys the man... I LOVE people like that.... Tell him you just installed a purple powerband on your motor, and then you replaced your turbo fluid with airplane fuel... After that you got your friend to install a set of !!4!! Jet intakes, 2 short ram style, and 2 cold air style...and they work SO good... Then you went and disabled ABS (Nobody likes to roll over)... then you installed dual lancer EVO exausts! Your now making about 310hp to the crank, and you pulled on an STI last week from a roll.
