Thumbs up Wanna keep up with TypeS?

Headers and Intake a must! Today, JZ (TypeS with headers - he doesn't count ), NovawhiteTypeS and I were like flying down the road and I did pretty well keeping up with them. I believe that I couldn't catch nor the TypeS could pull. This excludes you JZ

how does the exhaust look AC?
Since people are trying different things like greddy and tanabe, maybe i should have waited instead of getting the comptech.
As for beating a type S. If things go well, we'll see what comes about. Hopefully by April, i'll have something that might open some eyes. For all the TL's out there.. have faith... Power should be on its way !!!

We'll we were driving on a road that had a couple of wide turns and I really didn't want to push my car going 100 +. I think I'll feel much safer after droping my car and getting Z rated tires. We'll go at it again AC. Oh and I was very impressed w/ your TL keeping up.

Yeah--I was a bit pissed b/c I couldn't pull on you guys until I was way up in the RPMs. That was my first indication that something was wrong. I'm heading into the dealer tomorrow to get the IMRC problem taken care of so I can get my mid-range torque back dangit!!

AC,
nice, told you made a good choice with the Matiz... The exhaust looks cool, its different and pretty aggressive with two large chrome mufflers.
How is the apex controller? does the car feel stronger?

Thumbs up

Nova - thanx bro! You're right, I did have a bit of "handling" advantage but when you get yours droped with the Z's it should be fun! I too was surprised I was keeping up. Oh, please tell me you were gunning it cuz I sure was!

JZ - man, you don't count! If you had the IMRC working you probably would have shit all over me!

TLTypS - man, the DAZZ are schweet! I got so many compliments. The Apexi, well, I have no clue if it's working to my advantage or not cuz I need to tune it (VTEC and fuel) properly. I'm getting my car dynoed tomorrow so we'll see!

Will do! Can't wait. Do you recommend 4 to 5 runs or do you think 2 to 3 will be good enough?

Usually you'll pay for a certain amount of pulls. I had 4 pulls done but only 3 showed up on the print out.
