Ding ding ding, maybe people will eventually realize that a fun street car does not equal a good race car or vice versa.

Oh man, I switched out the 0.48A/R STG 3 on my SC60 to a 0.63A/R and I'm feeling the hurt. Pulls badass for a D15B on 10lbs in 3rd and up. 1st and 2nd are still just wheelspin.


When I open up that 2.25" exhaust to 3" to match the downpipe, it'll be MUCH nicer.

Just gotta watch for the fuzz around here.

It's even more than just turbo. Seats, suspension, all that crap. People buy full out race stuff and try and convince themselves they can live with it, then a month down the road they hate driving the car.

I've driven a car that didn't really spool until it was in 3rd, it wasn't much fun and wasn't much faster than a 14.00@99 Type R. That's too big, as long as your boost doesn't fall off when you shift, you're golden and it'll probably be fun.

We took a streetcar to Pinks, it spools at 2500 rpms and revs to 9500. That's a useable powerband.

Car's new best is 10.3@145, parachute time.

Not me. I like caged and gutted cars that vibrate and have loud exhausts. ---- power windows and heated leather seats.

Yeah, but you and the owner know what you're doing. When is it going 9's Joey?

I like 'em too, but they get old if you have to daily drive them. Power windows and leather seats? I drive a CRX for fucksakes, not a luxury sedan.

We take caged cars on slicks out on the streets.

Max, I've told you before you need to visit.
