Well tonight me and my friend in his 00 stang GT hit the twisties. After that he asked if i wanted to run so we hit the industrial area around 10:30. Scoped the place out, no cops. Raced from a dig and we were neck and neck until 3rd gear. Swear to god third gear is just a huge jump in the gearing from 2nd, it's so conservative. Once i hit third he immediately jumped ahead of me by 1.5 cars and just kept pullin away. No misshift either on my part, I was bang all the gears right on.

you sure he wasn't spinning till 3rd.lol


Car is being put on hold until further notice. Work will continue pending on if i get the new toy i want or not. I will keep you all posted.

UPDATE ON THE TUNE. It went ok but a few little issues that are causing my performance to be less than expected have shown themselves. Now I have to resolve them when I get the chance and it will be back to PTuning for the finishing touches.

Well last night, i was at a light with a Tiburon GT. He was egging me on for a least a mile down the road, so at the light i decided to jump with him. I got him from the jump, but he had cars in front if him... so he slwed down and followed me to the highway. I downshifted into 3rd... he downshifted... He just gassed it and so did I... I had he about 1 to 1 1/2 cars. All they way up to 120, they he got off.


A car is only as good as it's driver.

That I amy but I wasn't flexing em at that time, lol. I had no clue what it was and only really raced to humor the guy cuz he jumped off the line the light before. What was he thinking racing a tC? Like what was the point? haha

Not sure about the hood scoops, I was talking with My lady when he was next to Me and after I gunned it, I obviously didnt see much of his front end lol

a couple nights ago coming back from hollywood video with a friend of mine..im sitting at a light with this rice burner civic si egg infront of me..well the light turns green and im driving normally, he goes on the right lane and has to slow down because a car is turning..well he trys to pass me but i hit the gas a little harder so he couldnt cut me off..a few moments latter he matches my speed like 10 feet behind my car and hits the gas..so im sitting in my car and look at my friend like wtf? well theirs some traffic ahead of us and i dont want to street race with traffic so i wait a couple of minutes. by the time traffic clears up the guy starts to do the same thing, but this time as hes getting to my rear bumper i punch the gas..he matches me and gets a little less the half a c/l till we hit about 70 mph and then i start walking by him up to about 115. when we got to the next light he didnt made a right and didnt even look at me. felt good i must say

According to his profile, he doesn't own a tC, only a v6 accord =|. I'd slap you if you couldnt beat a civic in your 05 v6 accord.

It depends if its a spec v or not. Spec v's are torque monster's like our cars, or just a ser is respectable to.. Umm It all depends how you drive buddy and the mods

ok heres a racing story for u guys... soo every thurs nite. alot of cars race up to azuza canyon/GMR... its crazy ass hell. the rush is amazing, with the thought if u fuck up ur pretty much done or at least ur car is. soo im going up. trying to keep up with the AWD cars. theyre going up at like 80+. and for me 78+ in a RWD car pushing 350hp+ can get a lil hairy. som i pull over for awhile because my brother got a lil nervous. and out of no where DA integra cuts me off nasty!! so i get on his ass to be like WTF.and u can hear that hes on it. i got tired so i passed him on a s turn. i get to the top. and like 10 in later some guys are running help asking to help. so we drive down and its the lil DA integra flipped over. so me and a couple guys flipped it back over and then a guy comes up to us and says "hey ummm when u guys flipped the car bak over..did u guys see any fingers? and i was like WTF!?!?! apparently the driver put held the roof of his car preping for the flip and 2 of his fingers got smashed off when the car rolled...

crazy shit..

well thats my story haha
