Rep Power: 0 Raced a FAST 7thgen tonight!!!
Hey all, I have an 03 Accord V6 6-speed. Anyway, I was coming home on the parkway tonight and passed a 7th gen civic EX. He had NY plates said something like "1stSIsohc" or somethuing like that. It was silver and had graphics. Anyway, he nailed it while he was like 4 cars ahead of me, I nailed it too. We went from about 80 all the way to 135+! He stayed that orignal 4 car lengths ahead, he did not pull on me, but I definitely could not pull on him! It was an awesome race. He threw on the hazards which I thought was pretty gay being he started the distance ahead of me and didnt gain anything, but whatever, I had to get off my exit so i flashed him and he tapped the lights for me, so that was cool... anyway, does anyone know who he was on here or his mods??? Id like to know, I couldnt see a FMIC, so Im not sure if it was turbo.. My best friend has an 04 EX with bolt-ons and that **** is SLOW, I kill him, so I dunno what this guy had but it was IMPRESSIVE!!!!

Rep Power: 0 He nailed it when he was 4 car lengths ahead of me, he didnt pull 4 cars on me, we just pretty much stayed that distance throughout the whole race. I dont think it was just a K20 swap because Ive pulled Si's easily and RSX's dont give me many problems from a roll either, especially off the line. Also, Im not stock.

Rep Power: 410 maybe your 19s had a really bad affect on your car's speedo, so when you read 135+ mph it was actually still around 100-110.
maybe he had laughing gas?

Rep Power: 0 Then you havent messed with an RSX-S with Hondata...
You would have lost miserably...
It took my friend a 75 shot in his Accord 6-speed to beat that RSX
Bumped it to a 100 and ran low 13's

Rep Power: 560 there may be some people out there that dont have the limiter, i was just saying there is no point in saying it has the power to get that high bc most peoples cars are electronically limited before that point and will never get there without messing with the ECU, non turbo d17 can get that high just with out a limiter. just hold the gas down and ull eventually get there, turbo will just get u there faster

Rep Power: 0 look at the plate. my guess would be the SI motor with I/H/E and hondata. on a lighter car then the SI. I could see how he would stay with ya
also so you know a rsx swapped civic with I/e/ hondata would rape you. dont understimate the civics also the turbo d17's would REALLY kill ya. (done properly)
might want to try the regional forums cause that would be a much better place to look

Well, I know they have a serious weight advantage but Ive raced I/H/E Si's and I can still pull them no problem. There are not many RSX's around at all, mostly only civics. My friends EX 04 is going to be turbo in 1 month!

Rep Power: 0 Yes well I found out from a friend that the kid has a K20/6MT swap from an RSX, as well as I/H/E and cams. He also has a bunch of other ****, system, 18 chromes, etc. From knowing this I would have actualy expected him to pull me but I dunon he didnt! I told my friend to tell him Id race again when we are actually next to each other!!!
