05 RSX-s vs. 04 RSX-s vs. 06 Accord 6spd

Had a couple runs last night with some fellow enthusiasts last night. We've been meaning to run for awhile and finally got the chance. Mods are in the video(s) but I'll post them here anyway. Both 2nd gear rolls. The first vid I left late The 2nd run was clean and a good one

05 RSX: I/RH/E/RBC/KPro tune (4.7FD stock)
04 RSX: I/RH/Cutout/RRC/Z1 cams (stock 05 cams)/KPro tune (4.3FD stock)
Accord: I/PCDs/3in Exhaust/Jpipe/Ported manifold w/butterfly delete/Pulley (untuned)

Should be. Best run to date is still 14.04 with a best trap of 101.17. Yes, they are both very quick cars. Like I said, the first run I left late. You can see the difference of outcome in the second run. I started creeping on the 05 at the top of 4th almost to his bumper, but that's as close as I got. He finished a car ahead. His car is real quick. Me and the 04 were dead even until the top of 4th where I pulled about a car.

Nice runs Sonnick! Your car is pretty beastly to be hanging with those bolted / tuned RSX-Ss.

How much power are they putting down? Have they hit the track yet?

Thanks Tyler. The blue one put down 228/16x and the camera car put down 224/16x. The camera car is the only one who went to the track thus far. He went to Island Drag and ran consistent high 13s @102-103 on street tires. His best was a 13.6 @103.2.

I was expecting the Blue RSX to pull me a bit. Glad I was able to keep it real close. I knew the Black RSX was going to be a really good race also, and it was. I didn't even realize I pulled until I watched the vid lol. I need a tune

Who cares about the stupid ass quarter mile times.. that's for the newbies. Real men race from roll. ET is useless.

Sonnick, i think it's time for you to sell it and get a S2000. Why don't you get a faster platform? You can pickup more girls with it.

1) My girlfriend is plenty beautiful for me
2) You may need your car to help you with girls, I don't

We all ran with no spare for these runs. And both RSXs did not have back seats.

Nice runs Sonnick.

I have couple of off topic questions for you and am being honest. Why did you choose 3" over 2.5" pipe for these little engine? Did you get any gain from 2.5" to 3" ? And I am assuming that you had tried 2.5" before.

Reese: Soon man, soon

Vhtran: Someone on the Accord forums had a 3" exhaust and put down more power with less mods than anyone at the time. I did some research and decided to go 3". The 'your motor is too small' argument is getting kind of old, especially when there are substantial gains on even the K series 4cyl. Once tuned, I have no doubts it will make more power than a 2.5".

Nice runs. Too bad you're not closer so you can run my E30. I sold the TL.

E30 with an S50 swapped in. I think Sonnick would approve.

That's my 05 in the video, good runs Sonnick...car definitely surprised me. I had run another J series but it was in a TL J32, you can check it out in my other vids

www.youtube.com/yonkersracing

if there are any other modded J's in the area, I'm always down for some friendly pulls, again nice meeting you Sonnick....also if you don't mind, could you post the vids from either your phone or your friends phone that he took from my buddies hatch?

Nice meeting you too man and good runs for sure. In my friends vids, the license plates are a little too visible for me, so I'd rather not post them. I may ask him to take them down. If you want to see them text me, otherwise I'd rather not post them. To be honest, these vids are 100x better anyway.

Although the runs were filmed in Canada, I'd still prefer to keep my license plate hidden
