Well I was hanging with my friends at the sonic and this guy rides up in a tiburon(v6) and wants to race so i was like "uh ok".So there is a bridge right there and we take it over the bridge from a rolling 40 and he pulls on me real hard and gets like 2 1/2 car lentghs on me. three different time this happened. when i asked heim what he had all he said was i/h/e and some goodies. now it was obviously not a forced induction kit and was not nitrous. can anyone tell me how this guy put me to shame. I went home hanging my head and what made it worse is that they recorded the race from inside the car.

are you modded and were you in D4 from the 40 punch

shineynitelite

mmmm sonic


wish they had those in minnesota

hoss

no i was in D3 and i only have intake and exhaust but damn. He wouldnt tell me what else he had besides I/H/E but im sure it could have been port and polish or something like that because he told me he worked for a shop in brandon.but i must give him credit,he ate me alive. i figure with headers i might have had a little better top end run because we took it to liek 110 but still i know i would have lost.

40 from a roll is teh bottom of second gear , that's a terrible place to start.

and with the exuast you lose a tone of low end tq, and with as long as these gears are you need your power to be as evenly distributed as possible.

hoss

well hopefully the headers will help some. I mean i know my car isnt really a race car and i dont want it to be but i felt a little punked out getting beat by a TIBURON.

subbuzz

<---- got smoked by a tibby. they are no joke. it sucks to see acura losing to hyundi

hoss

Tell me about it. what makes it worse is that the passenger is his car recorded the wholde damn thing and i was also rolling with some of my friends so i pretty much felt like shit and went home after that. But hey atleast i know my car will outlast his because they have no where near the quality that acura does soooo maybe i see him again one day broke down and maybe giggle to myself....just a little....i know its wrong but who cares.

subbuzz

it happens to the best of us.just remember you got an acura

hoss

Yes it is a better feeling at the end of the day.

Bigpimpin18

actually my aunt has a tibby v6 6spd man. and I got on it and it's pretty quick, although it looks a lil wierd, I like it but i wouldn't buy one. Like ^^ he said it is a better feeling at the end of the day knowing you drive a classy, somewhat fast car. Not one that looks like a little bug.

yea was it a 6spd??? its honestly no surprise that you lost to one of those, dont get down on your self, new tiburon v6's are legit.

and dont let the kid bullshit you, i doubt he had anything else, the aftermarket didnt exactly catch on to much to the new tiburon scene.

shineynitelite

a tiburon w/ intake, headers, exhaust, vafc2 almost took me from a stop. they are fast

hoss

thanks for the encouragement guys.......well atleast i will feel that i am fast in a few days when my headers and plug wires come.

subbuzz

let that tibby get the s/c and your smoked hardcore.

i also hate the wanna be accord (sonata)

ghost_masterCL

were you spraying?!?!?

hoss

I would think he would have to......or else.........

subbuzz

depends if it was the 4 banger or the 6.a modded 2.x without the juice vs a modded tibby v6 is suicide

hoss

I dunno but I will come back and kick this guys ass with the CL one day.

willieesco420

just remember this,, you still drive an Acura,, he drives a fukin HYUNDAI!!!! at least it wasnt a K K K Kia..

shineynitelite

yeah i was, he also has a quantum LSD. so he hooks up pretty well and i obviously dont so i had to chase him from a long distance

Time For Sleeep

Our cars weren't made to be sports cars; you shoudl have yelled out: "@least I have heated mirrors bitch!"

^ someone said that last time; I forget who.

ghost_masterCL

maybe you should throw in an LSD and that would help you out a lot. If you are going to upgrade all the stuff for traction might as wel make sure you hook up on both sides

oh yeah, and minch00 said that about the heated mirrors.

shineynitelite

lol yea, i would concider an lsd but a lsd w/ a warranty is like 950 + shipping

wilp99

you should get him with headers on there. i beat my friends tibby with prescious. plus you have 18" rims and a 3500lb car. thats alot of weight to sling around.


ps. stop beatin up prescious. and makin her look bad on film.. lol

doug cl

hoss

Tell me about it....when I saw him recording I felt even more lke shit.

I remember running a couple of modded Tibby's. They are quicker than everyone thinks. I ran one with basic bolts ons and tied him all the way. Neither of us pulled on eachother. The other two I ran I barely beat. This was back in the day when I only had I/H/P/E and a VAFC2 tuned.

Don't feel too bad. He was out for an easy kill, and he was only able to beat you by 2 1/2 cars. That means he'd still lose to an Evo.

Mike

cocoa, have you been to the track w/the new setup yet?

Cocoa

iTrader: (2)

I'm still waiting for it to be finished. It's been at the shop for a very long time. Before I left to Europe for a month, all that needed to be done was wiring, one custom axle, and one more custom mount. There's no reason why it shouldn't be finished. I just haven't been able to get a hold of the shop.

Mike

i'd be it to the shop if it was me. let me know when you take it to the track and maybe we can setup a meet.

Cocoa

iTrader: (2)

Are in SoCal or Tx?

Mike

so cal

Sun Diego CL-S

hey cocoa. remember that i'm the first 2GCL you get to smoke. you said you would go to the meet if you're still in SoCal. maybe mad Mike can join me on my way up there to see you with the finished product. the shop would have no excuse if they finish your project by the end of April.

you've been told

wilp99

hey hass have you raced anyone else latley? hows the headers

hoss

NO I havent. But i have opened it up real good once or twice since the headers and wow you can feel it alot more that i thought, its great.

wilp99

ill be changing my avatar soon.. its time to let go.. i have to wash the tl-s first..

hoss

I would be so scared to drive the Tl-s anywhere over where you are.good luck with it. but hey i bet you can get some bad ass shots because the scenery over there is so different from here.
