The fun begins...
now that the car is running nice i've been driving it for 2 days. I was on my way to my friends house on the highway, doin about 70 in 6th and i pass by a nice race car, Accord 94-95 altezzas fake hids, dropped. 4 inch exhaust.
I guess he decided he'd "own me" and downshifted moved to the left lane and prepared to pass me. I decided to disapoint him.
A simple downshift to 5th brought me to about 4500 on the tach. Get on the throttle, barely let the motor get into stride (vtec land) shift back in to 6th and just as i started to walk away from him, he shut down once he realized he wasn't catching me. I was really disapointed cause i didn't even get to use the damn thing. I knew i could shift early cause i was already pulling away in 5th. Oh well, i'm sure there will be more.
Its funny how many people want to race you cause they think the car is still slow

Rep Power: 0 it's basically a direct bolt in if you get a front clip of an rsx-s. Cause hasport makes the mounts and I believe you have to change the front axles as well? Other then that I think they are basically te same.
I don't have one and never did the swap myself but I think I'm mostly right. lol someone feel free to correct me or fill in the blanks.

Yeah hawk the second day i was on highway k and a prelude tried racing me. I had to put him to shame, i smoked him by about 18 twenty cars that was only barely top of third gear. Then i raced a new tibby the gt v6, didnt want to waste my time but he wanted it . outcome was just as bad as the lude

Rep Power: 0 I hope to have my Civic Sedan running again soon. It had all those goofy stickers on it from the Car and Driver shootout and everyone in a Mustang or Import wanted some.
One day I was on the freeway when a new car salesman with a customer in a 'vette goosed it when he got next to me, I caught him about 100 yards later and was already doing 15mph more than him as I passed. I would've loved to hear the conversation in the 'vette after that.
