I pulled up to the unbeatable eclipse in my town(one horse)he gave me the evil eye. I thought 2 things--1. he was gay---2. he wanted to see what i had. I warmed up my mini-me civic ex and the light turned. We both floored it and surprisingly i stayed with his turbo. the blowoff valve on that thing sounded awesome. Long story short he had a car length on me going 60 in a 35mph...passed a cop.......the rest is history

turboef9 knows bout this...but theres this supercharged civic hatch that smokes jack roush mustangs all day and many others in the process...as for me...i raced a formula firebird...all i know it said formula on the side..and i beat him...i laughed cause i thought he would have had me...i think it was just a sticker though and nothing really behind it cause he had to been an automatic.

you cant drift in a fwd, its called having ---- tyres, or lift-off oversteer

That's my buddy Chuong's EF.. It's pretty clean. He's my "competition". He tunes it himself, pulling mid to high 13s.

Hopefully, I'll be able to take him with the turbo. We'll see.

A 4 door sedan with a B18C5(type R) was ripping ---- up at the races. I didn't see him lose. I let him beat everyone else then my friend who was flagging called me out to run him. I hop in my car and drive over and line up. All the people watching were laughing and pointing at my car thinking that what the hell is this POS doing here. Needless to say my friend drops his arms and we take off. I gave him about a 4 car length through and the beginning of 3rd gear(no traction) towards the end of 3rd I blew right past him. I came back around and everyone was like HOLY ----!

Another quickie, I went to the races at the Bronx and I rarely go there so nobody knows my car. I was hanging back and not running at all until a shitty ass looking 2nd gen RX-7 rolls up. He had a girl in his car and the two of them were looking at my car and laughing. So he lined up with a hatch with a B16 and destroyed it. He came back around again and this is when I came out. We line up and the flagger drops his hands the rx-7 launches hard(------- RWD) and once he hits second gear he throws the bitch lights on that he won! So, once again I gave him a 5 car lead starting in 3rd gear and by the end of third I was ahead by length before I threw on the lights and stopped.
It felt great.

Of course.. tune your suspension for max oversteer.. turning any corner with speed will induce that oversteer, thus requiring you to module throttle to maintain the drive line.. IE, drift. Jackass.
