i lined up next to my friend with a 00 si with i/h/e,vtec controller, and cam gears and i have i/h/e and we both agreed we would go to the next light because i had to make a left. the light quickly turned green b4 i could rev it up to launch but he managed to get his launch off so i started out as i would at any normal light. he obviously beat me off the line but i cought up and stayed side to side with him until we got to the light. he didnt know wat to say to me because he talks all this **** about sohc's saying theyre weak as hell so he called me rite after and was like "i missed second gear" which he obviously didnt.

He probably did miss a gear cause that thing would have spanked you.

Vtecnoga

he didnt miss a gear because he has the loudest exhaust and it didnt appear at all that he missed a gear because inbetween shifting his exhaust becomes completely silent and it didnt when we were going

i smell BS...

w/ those mods he should be doing low 15's, high 14's. Hmmm....

wow, what a shitty driver.

I'm not going to sit here and call BS or try to down talk you at all. All I'm going to say is that he definitely missed a shift or he was an incredibly terrible driver. With the mods that he has done to that car, it should be running mid to upper 14's with a good driver. Well, anything can happen on the street so nice run man. Props to you for being a better driver.

not to mention the Si responds much better to mods, especially if the vtec controler and cam gear were tuned. He must've been a terrible driver.

my 6 year old sister can drive better than your friend.

or you're full of it.


i'll give you the benefit of the doubt and say that your friend can't drive to save his life. A 6th gen Si with i/h/e vafc and cam gears is capable of probably a 14.4.

if he could drive, you could race all the distance you want, and you'd never be close.

0-50 or 0-whenever. doesn't matter.

your friend needs to be slapped and have his keys taken away.

with those mods he should be mid 14's or better. even granny shifting would put him at 15 flat.

Whats the big deal an EX should be capable of high 14's since its gearing is better. If a DX can pull 15.1 with a few mods why couldnt someone with an EX hit high 14's?




Correct S2000man?

aznboysrfr

iTrader: (10)

the 15.1 dx has more than a "few mods"

allmotor

iTrader: (5)

not gonna say it didnt happen but the si would deff win

S2000man01

iTrader: (1)

yeah he has a LOT more than a few mods. lol.

dre2600

Because the EX has only 10 more HP and a lot more weight, thats just the simple answer though. Short of massive weight reduction, or FI (incl. N2O) I can't see an EX hitting 14s...

Unorthodox Racing Crank Pulley
ES Motor mounts (rear did not fit had to cut)


So this is the recipe to low 15's? "lol"

can you honestly see a DX hitting 15.1.........honestly

thiscrackerntam

The guy didnt miss shift because I've been in the same situatiuon with a friend of mine, but my races lasted through 3rd gear and its in 3rd where the 7th gen begins to lose, not 2nd. I wasnt using nitrous at the time if anyone is dumb enough to ask.

I raced an SI with the same mods, minus the cam gear and beat him with a 15.7 to his 15.8. So yeah there are some bad drivers out there or maybe his tuning was ****ed up. The one Si that did manage to beat me started pulling away slowly in third, 1st through second we were even, even with my shitty launch. Ask 1320racing he was right behind us. The SI should win with a good driver and proper tuning against your average 7thgen with I/h/E, but it's not always the case. Good kill. On the street you never know what could happen.

Dizzle when are you gonna let me know where you are from so maybe we can set something up? You talk **** but you avoid my question. Your missing the point that my car weighs 400lbs less then the avg Ex and I have no power steering and a crank pulley which most people don't, plus I run on DR's or my forged 17's(lighter and less rotational inertia than stock EX wheels).

HorrorSkopes

Bad drivers make baby jesus cry...

Agreed.

00 Si's are pretty quick... I like them a lot.

Unless its a DH racing 20 whp crank pulley( ), it aint gonna do much. Our oem pulleys only weigh about 8 lbs. It would be more beneficial to upgrade the flywheel which is 23 lbs to an aftermarket one that weights 13 lbs.

Trust me man i would love to own your ***, but i live in vegas.

Where exactly did you get this weight loss of 200 lbs?
