Accord 6 speed vs. RSX-s

Ironic is the only word I can think of. I was itching to run an I/H/E/Hondata RSX-s, and that's just what I got tonight! He had cluthc and flywheel too. All I can say is GREAT fukcing race. The dude was cool, we went a few times, each with a passenger so it was perfect.

1st run: 40ish roll. We didn't honk off, he got a TINY jump on me, and ended up a car ahead and that's where it stayed.
2nd run: 40 roll, he honked it off. Pretty even start I started pulling in 2nd, by the top of 3rd I pulled about a car, then 4th maybe slightly more? No more than 1.5 cars..I couldn't even tell I was keeping my eyes mostly on the road, but it was real close.
3rd run: 60 roll, again pretty damn even, I pulled slightly.
4th run: 50 roll, I started in 3rd, him in 2nd. He started pulling from the start, ended up about a car-ish ahead and that's where it stayed.

Very good runs, I saw him in my rearview about 5 minutes before and knew we would get to run haha. We talked after, cool dude. Prob see ya at DPA.

Awesome, your Accord is a beast. Sometimes I wish I could drive manual, only thing that keeps me away is if I try to race in it, I mis shift and bend the valves or somethings a long that line... kind of freaks me out.

lol they know me as RSXSEATER over there. I go over there just to talk crap back to the RSX fags. Most of the guys over there give RSX drivers a bad name. They have nothing better to do over there anyway!

^^ Thanks man. 14.04 will be broken before the tracks close (I'm going to try as hard as I can to get there, I'm 99.9999999999% sure I will get a chance to). While it's a good time, I'm actually a little disappointed because she has more potential than that.

Because I've been practicing launching, I should be able to see a 2.1x 60', plus my additional mods, I should be seeing 13.6x (ideally) or 13.7s. So that's what I'm shooting for. I have high expectations for myself, and why not! Gotta have goals

PC deletes are next (and soon), hopefully then see some 13.4 - 13.5s @ 103+!

P.S. F23a4 I will let you know when I'm going to see if me and your son can get some runs in, and on camera!

Good deal. (and good kill) He just upgraded his exhaust to a Mossy catback so it should be an even better race. I'll let him know but, you can reachout to him at nycnissans.com; his screen name is SMAG1022.

MODERATORS NOTE: To those who plan on messing with the folks on the RSX forum(s): please dont. I do NOT want them trolling over here on Azine in retaliation. And while we're at it, let's not insult them. Many of them may be juvenile but, we need to be better than that.

Lol, yes I am. All they do is bash but it's whatever.

F23a4: The Mossy exhaust sounds amazinggggg. I'm gonna try to go before/after the PC deletes to see the difference at the track. But I'm not getting paid until Friday the 20th instead of next Friday..ugh. So I don't know how long the PCs will take to ship. Maybe Richie will ship 'em to me with just a down payment and a promise???

Yes, it does. It sounds AWESOME!! But now he's frequently revving his engine in our driveway, which is resulting in some dirty stares from neighbors.

PM me when you know for certain that you're heading to the track. With my career demands, I probably wont make it. But, if I can I will put the run(s) on video and post them here (and probably NYCNissans as well).

I think even a stock 6MT TL should edge out the Mazdaspeed 6.

Try lowering your fronts tires to around 16-18lbs of pressure and raising the rear to 45+lbs
