rsx type S

[enry]

Word is the type s comes with small mags and a really inferior sound system compared to the mp3. Is this true?
How will RSX Type S owners deal with such a thing? I guess the 6 spee 200hp makes up for it a bit.

[OceanPark]

Well, MP3 will not stand a chance to race a RSX TypeS. But with only $24000CAD, don't expect too much.

Anyway, the RSX looks ugly in my opinion.

[freekwonder]

who cares,the money you saved getting the MP3 over the RSX you can fix up the MP3 to blow it away. plus its just another acura. i heard they are not really that fast though. but thats from my ricer friends.

[OceanPark]

My friend said the RSX is pretty fast, and so do the previous interga. Plus they have a value timing system(Vtec) and we don't. But I do agree that with the money we have saved on the MP3, we could get few more extra HP. Plus we are limited, unlike the Honda.... ricer all over the place.

[enry]

at the local dealer, 4 people have already returned their type s'es due to engine blowout. looks like i-vtec is still a work in progress. like anything though, if you drive it like a bitch, it'll be more likely to fail.

[freekwonder]

i think im going to go to an Acura dealership tomorrow and test drive one.

I have seen a VCD from Japan, which compare the new TypeR with the previous version. I have to say that the new one look much better in style. They also cliam that it is better in performance

Hey guys wuzzup well anyways a Integra type R aint that fast and a rsx aint that fast i, don't know about the type s but i raced one rsx 160hp 140trq down here in fresno California. I saw a guy pull up next to me and it was a one4one crew member down here thats there crew name. But he asked me if i wanted to race so i said whatever we both took off when it hit green and i dropped the clutch and 1800 rpm's and just launched w'o pilling out and redlined 1st we were about even and shifted to 2nd and i pulled him at about 55mph in 2nd still and just stopped at the intersection. Then his buddy asked me what i had in it and i told him it was bone stock except for the racing beat oem filter and the racing beat exhaust, he had the nerve to asked me if i wanted to race his integra type R for 300$ i said H*** yahh the good thing was he had to go home and get it and wanted me meet him at mooney's at jack in the box in 40min. That saved my but cause i wasn't gonna race him in my mp3 i drove home to my town hanford it's only 18min. away from fresno driving 90++mph and i got my souped up 1994 Mazda Protege lx came back h**** fast driving 125mph 5min. later i heard a wossy exhasut coming up and he asked what the heck is this i told him give your 300$ to your buddy and i gave his buddy mine 300bones. we drove a few stoplighs down just past a park where there is a open road and his buddy was signaling us to rev our engines to be ready a few sec later we both took off and i relined 1st 7000rpms at 40mph 2nd 7000rpms 65mph and third didn't have to as i shifted into 3rd after 65mph in 2nd i turned my head i was 4 car lenghs ahead of him. lol it was so embarrasing that i let him pass me back bumper to my front bumper then we were doing 90mph and just smoked him till i got to 120mph. If your wondering what my 94 lx has hyper cai intake,sparklugs,ignitionwires,exhaust,header,etc. ....

[<RSX>]

Sounds like a whole lot of hot air to me !

[OceanPark]

I doubt if a MP3 would really win the RSX base model. It is a auto? or the driver sux?

The RSX isn't really that fast, but I also admit that the MP3 is slow....

[<Tritonheat1>]

My Mp3 had 1875 miles when i took it up to 118mph that's cause it wasn't broken in yet. maybe tha rsx base wasn't broken in, i really didn't beat him that much like i did to his buddy in my other proteg against the type r but i beat that rsx by his front tires to my front door. but when i raced him, i had 3,123miles on it as when i raced him. maybe you think your mp3 is slow cause either you shift at 3500-5500prms or your car isn't broken in, no matter what kind of car you have it has to have over 3000miles to fell the difference in power cause if not then the car hasn't been broken in yet.

[OceanPark]

mine has 3300km so far...

My brother as a Sentra SE (145hp), and we did played few times. 3/4 my mp3 lose ... we switched the car, so it is not the matter of driver.... :(

[<RSX>]

I find your Protege LX beating the Type R more unbelievable than the RSX story. Especially with only the mods you listed. 130hp(??) versus 195hp ? Who do you think would win ? Your mods ain't adding 65hp !!!

Are you sure the Type R was racing ?

[enry]

not to diss you but it must have been a rs gs or MAYBE gsr. but type r? I mean, was the driver capable of driving? 195hp is alot, dude.

[OceanPark]

I did raced a TypeR once before. And it is really FAST! even the MP3 won't stand a chance.

ligther weight, more hp, value timing....

[NYCZMP3]

MY MAN JUS BOUGHT A TYPE-R THE SAME TIME I GOT MY MP3....HIS WAS BROKEN IN AND SO WAS MINE. WE LEFT WORK AT THE SAME TIME AND WE WERE ON THE PARKWAY. ALL HE DID WAS PLAY WIT ME THER IS ABSOLUTELY NO WAY THAT THAT PROTEGE BEAT A TYPE R OR A RSX....IT IS VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE...HE IS LYING OR THAT PERSON HAD A LS WIT TYPE R BADGES...SORRY

[<Smegma>]

The RSX looks like a Chrysler 300M!

[<Tritonheat1>]

different solution: one on one foot race one guy carry one guy and is giving him a =piggy back ride and trying to race another by himself who's gonna win, the guy givining the piggy back ride running against michael johnson.
that's a solution. here's performance:
Acura Integra Type R DOHC VTEC 8500rpm redline vtec kicks in 6000rpm no pull from vtec from 1-6rpms. Weight 2639lbs with modified exhaust all i know of (YES) yellow integra Type R.

1994 Mazda Protege LX:
1.8l DOHC 16-valve in-line 4 cyclinder
multi port fuel injected. Mods: Hyper Cai intake,ngk plugs/wires,Pcv-valve,bullfrog throttle body,cross drilled rotors,unorthordox racing crank pulley's,svh vacuum hose,goodrige braided steel brake lines,pacesetter 4-1 header,centerforce dual friction cluctch set, tokico gas shocks f/r,weapon r coilovers, sway bar f/r, strut bar f/r, custom ram air kit, high performance spintech Exhaust 3; dual pipe.

my weight 2359lbs my car is alot lighter and trust me i'll burn gsr's very bad not to mention. check out edmunds.com specs it'll tell you my car weighs 2359lbs 1994 lx was the lightest protege for 1990-1994. One more thing if you fell like drving down here in california you'll see alot of souped up cars in hanford,visalia,fresno, and bakersfield. Integra Type R's aint nothing that's why they have vtec an extra push just like gst-and gsx eclipse turbo awd 210-220 hp stock, guess what edmunds.com again weight 3300lbs. to heavy. I know this is about Mp3's but if your dissin my proteg lx i'll post some pix if i can, and a few other pix of my mp3. another thing acura,honda,toyota, and mitsu's have governers Integra Type R shut's down at 121mph. i've tooken my mp3 to 118mph one time and my protege lx to 135mph.
my 1994 tires roadstone tires 195/55r15all season and kmc banishee rims 15x7's.

[LouisianaMP3]

I test drove an RSX Type-S before buying the MP3. I bought the MP3. I find the MP3 much more fun to drive and it turns a lot more heads than the RSX ever will. So it's a little slower, who cares. It's not how fast you get there, it's how you look when you get there.
:D

How did you race it? Or was it implied that it was light to light? Hahahahaha.

:p :p :p :D :D :D

[311Mazda]

I don't know about all those mod's you listed dood, but I do know that my friends type R is the fastest car i've ever had the pleasure to ride it. And unless you had something phat like a turbo/sc, I dont' think you would of beet it. That is of course unless that guys engine was running on two cynlinders.

[<Tritonheat1>]

Ok, i'm not trying to start a flamewar or nothing but for the comment that said all those mods that i put on it, it can't beat a type r. Yes the type r is fast with 195hp (DOCH VTEC) and modified exhaust, and the type R does have Ba**s. Technicaly your trying to say that in order to race someone u have to have a race where there has to be the same horses. Sorry fella there was just a flamewar about the camaro and MP3 how anyone would wanna hook up the MP3 and that the camaro was to heavy to handle the curves like the Mp3. Well the type r is heavier than my protege lx with mods and i know for the fact that that type r really was a type r (Yellow) color, because i've beat gsr's and no not gsr's or type r badges on them the redline on the gsr is 8000 rpm's and the type r's redline is 84000 rpms' and all the time we hang out and race othere people from different cities they think i'm pulling (NOS).

[<Tritonheat1>]

Sorry (8400)rpms i mean.

[protege5chick]

I have riden in a Type-R and an RSX Type S and I know that the RSX is a little bit slower even though it has more horsies coz it weighs a bit more...air, sun roof, etc that the Type-R doesn't have. I still can't take in the fact that you beat a Type-R :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

[ArcTan2x+k]

i find the RSX type S looking really cool...love the style...
but i heard that her 195-200hp wasnt working that much on the 0-60.... on a tv show they try it and they were doing it in 9.3 or 9.7 seconds 0-60...that suks...they said nothing happen under 6000rpm...
its quite unbelievable !!! im sure a mp3 wont beat a rsx type s on the 0-60...but why they said its that slow?!!!
if this car do it in 9.3 seconds...we must be doing it in 11!!!! even if they said 8.3

:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:
ciao!

[311Mazda]

Wow, I accualy got to sit in an RSX (non type S) the other day, and that interior is nice.... I like it alot. And I used to not like the styleing, but I rather do like the over all look. Though what's weird is when your up close, there are lots of "blank spots" that just dont' have anything there. if you know what i mean. I kinda think it's silly that there are two S's in the name though. Kinda like saying GT mustang GT. :D

[rsx]

Since I own a RSX Type S I will give you the numbers !

2.0L 200hp@7400, 142 lbs-ft@6000

That is 100hp/L which is very very good !

Car and Driver:
0-60 : 6.1 s
1/4: 14.8s @ 95mph

Motortrend:
0-60 : 7.2s
1/4: 15.16s @ 93.24mph

Road and Track:
0-60 : 6.7s
1/4: 15.2s @ ??

[rsx]

One more thing, Acura claims a 0-60 time of 6.1 secs on there Canadian website. www.acura.ca (http://www.acura.ca)

Select the Type S link, then put the cursor on the RSX selection bubble and wait.

[ArcTan2x+k]

thats more what is thought...

but those guys on the tv werent able to go downer than 9.3 ..
hehe...well!

nice car man

[<Tritonheat1>]

"BUrnt a Civic Si last week on saturday went racing out on mooney's a whole ton of us went out to farmersville out in the country the first race was me and this cavalier z24 and smoked his assed by 3car lenghs and the 2nd was a 2000 si the buddy of mine i'm telling u about and smoked his car by 2 i/2 car lenghs to 60mph and to 100mph about 2 car lenghs but his car is bone stock and just lowered 2 inches. We video taped it and was wondering if i could post it on here which is probably impossible but next time i talk to him i'll get the video.

[initialRES]

Hey triton, lets not start a fight but I want you to get some numbers straight.

First, the type R does not shut down at 121 MPH. That is not true, it is not governed, I have a LS and lets just say that I have been above that point.
Now your Protege, You can say you beat him any everything, but 300 lbs isn't going to make up for the power he has on you. Yes you have a hooked up car but come on. Pacesetter headers? When those were tested they actually lost HP. Also, how do you have Cold air intake and custom ram air intake? I thought you had to have one or the other. Unless you have some serious stuff under your hood, it would be VERY difficult to beat a type R.
Also, VTEC is not the only thing in a honda engine that gets it going. Just because it doesn't kick in until 6000 RPMs that doesn't mean it is a dog until then. The Type R is designed to stay in the powerband (in VTEC) the entire time. When a type R launches it is into VTEC almost instantly and it never leaves, so to say it has no pull from 0-6000 RPMs is not really true since it is never in that area of the powerband. The car is a work of art and that is why people don't believe you. I am not going to say you didn't win but I have trouble believing you did.

[tritonheat1]

ok,lets just put it this way 300lbs might not make up for the power that my car is pulling against a type-r, but i would have not race this dude for money and sure in the heck of not waste my gas and miles on my Proteg Lx. That's just like me asking a guy in a Corvette zo-6 or camaro SS if he want's to race when i know i probably won't have a chance,maybe slightly with my mods from 0-100mph but on top end no i'm sure a Corvette Zo-6 would pull on me once i hit my mark that i've only got it up to and it was 135mph one time, most of the time i'm racing civics or integ's there's no need to go over 125mph cause i've never seen one even an Si or LS integ go over 120mph. most of the time i race they only go 110mph or tops 115mph. i'm not saying all cars have governers but i know that a Type-R has one at 121mph when i was with my buddy from the navy-base leaving the gate racing agains't a cavalier Z24 and his car felt like it was going to die after he hit 121mph and it slowed down and he took it back up to 121mph and it felt like it died out again but of course it was new with 2000miles but still it shutdown at 121mph. And for your Ls integ i don't know if your integ has a governer but i know for a fact 3 of my buddy's have 2 GS-r's, and 1 Gs integ, the GS-R can hit 124mph, and the Gs can only hit 118mph. so i'm saying that there's no way u have gone over 121mph bro in my opinion. and yes believe me bro my Protege LX is he**a fast. :D

[initialRES]

You crack me up triton. I hate having these arguements online, but yes I have gone over 121. And the ITR does not have a governor. Something is wrong with all of your friends' cars if you think they die at 121. I don't understand why you would want to race up to that fast anyhow. It doesn't really prove anything besides the fact that you are crazy.

[ARD MP5]

Well, I found this discussion to be quite interesting.
I'm not even picking sides, just showing some math. The key here is horsepower to weight ratio, as well as others. But that's a good start.

According to your specs:
195/2639 = .07 * 2359(weight of prot.)=165hp.
So, if it is plausible for his 1.8 to do that with all his mods, I can definitely see it happening. Plus, with aftermarket stuff you know he's reduced weight.

The easiest weigh to cut even more crucial weight is the unsprung weight, wheels, tires, hubs,brakes, etc. Remove interior panels and rear seats. I know you can shave like `150 lbs. off that car real quick.

For every pound of unsprung shaven is like 4 pounds of sprung weight. So hypothetically, if your wheels, exhaust and other things have all shaven weight, that increases your probablities immensely.

If a person has a light car, but heavy wheels it really doesn't serve any good purpose.

i.e. typical 15"=15-18lbs., lite cast = 12lbs., forged=9-10lbs. That's like 5lbs/corner * 4(coefficient for conversion) * 4corners = 80lbs. Yummy!! That all interprets into much quicker acceleration.

See ya, rishie

[tritonheat1]

I'm sorry guys i went to mooney's on saturday night a rsx type-s raced this toyota Mr2 spyder and the rsx type-s got toasted by 2 car lenghs. The Mr2 had an Greddy airnix intake and that's it. Type-S got laughed at cause either the type-s driver suxs or that really show's the MR2 got's Ba**s. :D

[initialRES]

a new MR2? They Type S should kill that but that doesn't mean anything. Some people don't know shit about driving.

[tritonheat1]

it was the old MR2 that had the body style of the ferrari. People just started rolling out and kapping on the Type-s cause they knew that the Type-s shoulda won, but oh well everybody loses gonna have to learn to lose even though you don't like it. It was a Bad A** race though. :D

[kep0ne]

boo!

[initialRES]

yah those old MR2s are fast, the turbo ones I mean. If he had a turbo one it would be a close race stock to stock. Now that you say it was the older one, I do believe that he could win. The NA MR2s are sad though. Not to mention the new ones. Ugly and slow.

[tritonheat1]

yeah i know the new ones look like a ugly format car. :D

[tritonheat1]

i checked out the 91-95 Mr-2's they have 200hp turbo engine with 200lb-ft torque. So i figured that the MR-2 was gonna win even though i knew that the RSX-Type S shoulda won but the MR-2 had an greddy airnix intake so that helped a bit. :D

[tritonheat1]

I talked to my friend who owns a 94 Integ GS-R he had obd 2 engine b18a so he could do 140mph. But i told him 2 of my buddy's have GS-R but 96's though and both of them hit 124mph tops the governer blocked it. He said that he probably had a obd 3 b18a engine which is that the lower the obd b18a engine is the better and faster it is. I told him ohh... ok that's new to me plus anyways the 94 integ had intake,exhaust,act street performance clutch,headers, bullfrog throttle body, vtec controller, and pulleys.

[initialRES]

Ok triton I have had it. You suck. Listen. OBD II is a computer system that is set up for better fuel efficiency and things like that. It will restrict more power than the OBD I. Also, there is NO GOVERNOR ON AN INTEGRA! I have a 94 LS with an OBD I system and I know that it will go above 124. The GSR will also top 124 easily. The difference is minimal but it is there. You really have no idea what you are talking about. I can't stand how you come on these boards, and talk about top speeds when you have never actually taken the car to it's top speed. The listed top speed on a 94-96 integra is 140 mph. There is no OBD III in any integra. God, please stop these posts. No one on this board likes your posts. You think you know everything but you really don't have any idea what you are talking about. You really do piss me off. You should go buy an integra and test it. You will go over 124.

[tritonheat1]

Look, i have had couple of my friends tell me on there own that there integra gs-r tops out at 124mph and it won't go any faster so i'll take there word for it. No i haven't road in an integra but i doubt a 94 ls integ can do 120+mph, all the time i see them they never go over 110-115mph so i'll take the tops as they go as topspeed not governer but topspeed. I didn't say your 94 ls can't go over 120mph i just doubt that it would cause like i said i never see a regular integra go 120+mph. Anyways my friends topped both of there integra at 124-125mph so there integ's do have governers. If you have any problems with that being so, then i'll let them know you wanna talk to them on the board. That's not my problem that there car fails to do 140mph that you think. I'm not responsible for the integra failing so don't look at me. I'm just laying the smack down so u can get off my back. I posted a statement that a type-s can only top at 133mph i already proved to you it did and u tried to say it can handle 140mph. I just wanna let you know that don't take everything for what it's worth. I do agree with you but people might think i'm an asshole when i have to become one to prove the fact. all i'm saying is that they both topped at 124-125mph that's all. Enjoy your Integra. Props to Acura :D

[initialRES]

yeah you should ask them what is wrong with their car. A stock integra will not accelerate quickly after 120 but it will go faster. If they have a governor then that is fucked up because I know integras don't.

[tritonheat1]

I understand bro i know what you mean. I don't know why they do have governer's but yeah there car will only go 124-125mph then the idle drops below 120mph then when they floor it again it'll go 120-121,122,123,124,125mph then all of the sudden the car bogs and you will hear something click and the tachometer idle drops. I think it was cause both of them didn't know how to put intake's on the car. they both disconnected the ecu from the vaf meter that's why there car can't go 130mph but yeah i think they retarted it. Anyways one of them is getting a powerchip soon and they have to be using 91octane gas, But i let you know if the chip helps to acheive 130mph. Props to Acura :D

wow. theres alot wrong there. 94 integra LS GS RS SE all had B18B engines, B18A is for 2nd gen. integras. like RES mentioned there is no ODBII engines, if its a 94 integra, it has a ODBI ECU, no matter what trim, including B18C GSR engines. the only major differences between 94-95 integras and 96+ integeas ecus (ODBI and ODBII respectivly) are 1: engine knock sensor and 2: emissions standards were upped and honda had to comply. there should be no reason why the car tops out under 130 unless there is something wrong with it. you can drive it as fast as the engine and road will allow.

[initialRES]

exactly chaosi, but as you will see, this guy KNOWS everything...

[tritonheat1]

1: I don't know nothing about Acura's but i know both of my buddy's topped at 124-125mph that's there problem not mine, Or Acura's. But as i remember honda civics have governer's on them at 110-115mph i think that's the speed i'm not sure but around there. Honda/Acura made by the same motor so maybe in away Acura's have governer's on them. there might be different models and vtec and odb1 or odb2 on them whatever you call that stuff. I have raced so many civics and Integra's in my 94 Protege Lx and both of them always will try to play with me. I will be doing 80mph then all of the sudden a civic or integra will fly by at 100+mph. I think one slowed down to stay by my side and looked over and laughed at my 94 Protege lx cause he didn't think it was nothing so as i laughed back at him. I sped up to 100mph slowed down let him get a head start. Then i just drop my gear to 4th till i hit redline as i pull faster catching him at 115mph at redline hit 5th pass him and go 120-125mph slow down wait till he speeds up to my side look at him and lmao :o so he speeds up and goes way ahead as i catch him again and draft up behind him stay on his ass as he will go only 110-115mph. So acctually they will only go 110-115mph i don't know nothing about all those civic's and integra's but they only go that fast as they try to race me and have there asses handed to them. SO in my opinion i'll take it as Topspeed for the civics and integra's that i race 110-115mph and if there so scared to go 120mph then why do they try to race. :o

[initialRES]

Triton, do you have any pics of this famous 94 Protege LX? How about your MP3? What kind of times are you running in that Protege? You do talk alot of smack and make lots of assumptions. I don't know why you feel the need to race to top speed so often but an integra LS has a higher top speed than an MP3. Your Protege LX may be a different story but the MP3 stock will be beat in the top end by a G3 integra LS. If you have won top end races against them when they stopped at 115 don't assume that is their top speed because it isn't. Perhaps in an auto but my 5 speed will go far above that.

[tritonheat1]

I know InitialRes, I said that the fastest they will only go is 110-115mph so i took that as my Topspeed for them not there's cause that's all they do and i've tooken the MP3 finally to 125mph and yes i have pictures of my Mp3 and 94 Protege Lx i'll post it up soon. If you asked different people about there integra's i bet you they'll say something different as what you are refering to. Yeah your Integra might go faster then 120mph but you have intake, and exhaust so that hepls alittle bit. Just like a few other people on this board already have cai intakes and exhaust on them and hit 130-132mph i can barely do 120-125mph stock in the Mp3. :D

[initialRES]

true intake and exhaust will help a little but when I took my car over 130 I had just intake. You have set a challenge. I am going to find more people with Integras and ask them about their top speed. I should do a poll to get to the bottom of this.

[tritonheat1]

I'm not starting to start a flamewar with you but just letting you know cause you own a Integra. I agree with you on somethings but what i'm just letting you know is that when i race Civic's and Integra's that is as fast as they will go.

[initialRES]

I got you. I still want to see pics of this Protege LX. Have you ever run it at the track? A 94 LX would turn some heads for sure.

What's the problem with this guy? why you like to topped your car? Is it really fun to drive at 120+? All you have to do is shift into 5th gear and leave you foot on the gas. How can you consider this as a RACE??? Or to WIN someone by going over 120+? It has nothing to do with skill.

Drive safe buddy...

[tritonheat1]

Well InitialRes have you asked any integra owners what's the Fastest they've tooken it up to...???????????????????????? :rolleyes:

[initialRES]

I only know a few people with integras. One has a 96 auto SE but he doesn't drive like a maniac so I doubt he has even taken it over 100. I will find people this weekend.

[tritonheat1]

Cool.... ;) i will ask anyone who owns a integra i don't care..lol :rolleyes:

[chaosi]

well like i said, you can drive it as long as the road and the engine will allow..or how long till your conscious kicks in :D ...ive gotten the ITR over 135. Im not crazy, thats plenty fast for me.

[initialRES]

Hey triton, I posted the LS top speed question on www.honda-acura.net (http://www.honda-acura.net) Here is what they have to say:
http://www.honda-acura.net/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=81305

The integra LS can top 130 stock.

[hakushi no sakura]

Ooook, in response to what happened in teh first page of this thread (a 94 protege lx beating a type r), i gotta raise the BS flag.

A friend of a friend of mine drives a Type R and one day I friendly raced him down some windy back roads and after a minute I couldn't even see his taillights anymore. The acceleration of that thing is crazy, absolutely murders the Protege. Keeping up with that thing is hard to believe, even a crappy driver would probably beat you.

[initialRES]

Yeah hakushi I think everyone agrees with you on that one. A protege, especially an older one, would have to have plenty of work to take an R, not just bolt ons like triton has.

[tritonheat1]

Hey INitialRes a type-r got smoked by a grand Prix GTP. I posted it in the performance section. rotglmao :o No affense though.

[initialRES]

Triton, I do believe that a GTP could beat a Type R. Driver has alot to do with it. However, one reason I hate arguing with you is because you don't write like you are old enough to drive. "Affense"???? What the hell does that mean? It is offense. I wouldn't say anything if you just wrote like that in one post but it is every post triton. How old are you really?

[tritonheat1]

Take a ""chill pill"" InitialRes i was just getting under your skin to see if you would go wild and pampering lol... NO really though those were my two friends and the GTP is hooked up to run low 14's and they raced from a stoplight leaving the base gate. it was cool though. Anyways a type-R from visalia and my buddy in his GS-R from N.A.S Lemoore are going to run them on saturday night i'll get pictures so you could see them and my MP3 and Protege Lx. take care :D

[OceanPark]

Some people think it is ugly, but it is nice IMO.

What do you think???

[kep0ne]

i think thats frickin beautiful...too bad the japanese are keeping all the good cars at home...

[APEXistud]

OK, I haven't bothered to read this post for sometime not, but it looks like I've been missing a lot of action. Subywan ran with a GTP in his WRX back in Michigan while his car was still stock. They went at it 2 times and both times the WRX walked away at the top of 3rd gear. I'm not sure what an ITR would do against the WRX, but if I'm thinking right, the WRX (being if he nails the launch right) will be an ITR.

Oh yeah, there is no way that and Protege in any form will beat an ITR. Especially not an 97' ITR. :rolleyes: Maybe he wasn't racing and you were or something. How many times did you guys go at it?

Oh if you really want to race someone illegaly. Take a trip to Highway 17 into Santa Cruz. It's very, very dangerous, but the car with the best suspension and power will shine there. I was on it last night messing around with some V6 accord and man, I was scaring myself a little. The rear end of my car was stepping out towards the center divide a few times when I let off the throttle. The turn said 40, so I went 60.... :D I also got a speeding ticket on the way back home :mad: :( :(

[kep0ne]

you failed to mention who won...although im pretty sure i shouldnt have to ask.

[APEXistud]

On 17 I was winning, but on just about every straight stretch of the highway, he would catch up and pull on me.

[tritonheat1]

Hey finally InitialRes, Last night a Civic Si and i with my girl and her friend were crusing down the road as a black integra flew by me and the Si heading down an open road where there's no other car's around. Well i was supposed to race the Si But i had to take him as i drop gear catching him at 90mph he stayed by my side as i was already reaching 105mph in 4th then he barely pass me as i reach redline at 7000rpms at 113mph i pass him hitting 5th get about a 2 car lengh lead still pulling reaching 125mph as i was already 5car lenghs ahead of him then a few seconds later my girl yells cause there was a truck in front of me as i was glancing in the rear view mirror slowing down then he barely passes me and i just turned aroung to look for the SI and, the guy in the Si told me that it was a Ls with DTM exhaust, Aem intake, and header's. But that guy had two people in the car and it was a even race. :)

[cjstringer]

Man, I have 1 request. Please. It's really simple. We've all been to school at some point. (Hopefully, it is required in America still) Can you use some punctuation? I am able to pick out what you are saying, and the stories (that's what they are, right?) are hilarious, (It's comedy, right?) but damn it takes some work to get through!
Oh well, keep up the good ones! It's fun to hear what people are having fun dreaming about! (These are just dreams, right?)
:cool:

[initialRES]

Seriously CJstringer. Triton, are you old enough to drive? I only ask because the way you write makes you sound so young. Also, whatever happened to you taking your 94 Protege to the track and getting tons of pictures and timeslips? I'd like to see those. As for your MP3, I love those cars, but if it is stock, or just CAI, I know that my LS would smoke you. I want to see timeslips of this beastly machine that we have all been hearing about.

[tritonheat1]

Damm InitialRes, Stop this" are you old enough" are you tough enough" are you 5 feet tall" are you this, are you that, really shut Up with that, cause it really kills it. By the way i have a video tape of a integra that you'll love to see. But anyways sorry bro, that integra was trying to Fu** with me and the civic SI so i just blew the doors off that car, and it's like taking candy from a baby..!!!!! (1.) My car is not the fastest car there is, nor the best looking car there is. (2.) I know that i can blow the doors off of some cars that i know i can take and, i never said that my 94 Protege LX, was a beast machine.

[initialRES]

Are we ever going to see this car? Perhaps a timeslip or two? I never once said you didn't have the car but I do have trouble believing you when you don't ever post it.
Also, this car must be fast because if it smokes ITRs then it must be running low 14s. So can we see it?

[tritonheat1]

I work during the weekdays, so i hardly even get to take time to spend taking pictures with it. But i have two pictures and a video tape.

[initialRES]

Can we see the pics triton?

[OceanPark]

I would love to see it too. ;)

[cjstringer]

He'd post the pics, but he doesn't have the car. Hell, a license for that matter. It's tough to drive when you're 12 years old. I'm surprised his mommy and daddy let him use their computer. :)
"I work during weekdays..."
Who doesn't? Like that's a logical reason to not be able to take pics.
Just post the pics if they exist. Get a clue.
:cool:

[tritonheat1]

Sorry initialRes, i got toasted last night in my Mp3 by a yellow Integra Ls painted like a type-r, cause that's what i "asked him before we raced". But my Mp3 is stock and he was running with an Aem intake and Greddy exhaust with MSD wires. But still he pulled on me after 3rd gear by 1 1/2 car lenghs to 90mph. I like experiencing races even if i lose. But i didn't take my gold Protege because, my dad took it bowling last night, it was a good race. Met all kinds of people and if was packed with all kinds of imports. laugh all you want, i don't care.:rolleyes:

[gonzoATX]

i took one but i think the guyz couldnt drive worth a %^* and they slowed down after 55mph.. little #@%#%$^

[tritonheat1]

Hey gonzo one Q? did the tenzo R exhaust and the weapon R cai with ram air kit help in performance wise. Like 0-60times and topend performance, can you feel the push after wot or, can you hear the mean a$$ growl from the cai.:) ????

[gonzoATX]

i can feel a little jump after 4500 gd from second to third and from 5000 gd i can feel the jump from 4th to 5th and with the tenzo and cai it can really growl like a fast growl. A little loud on the hiss sound over all and it feels great but really cant tell until i hear the growl and a little jump i see 4500 going to 6000 really fast..as far as 0-60 i havent checked but will get back... at topend i still am a little slow since i tried to race my cousins 98 grand prix automatic before and after the mods and still cant seem to keep up with him... he just pulls away after 70mph...:mad: :mad:

[tritonheat1]

Thanks for the info and that's good to hear that the dragon intake with ram air kit works good cause i was planning on getting a dragon intake or injen cai. But at www.weapon-r.com they have the new cold air box that covers the intake that's just runs cold air, it's suppose to improve about 15+hp they say they tested it with a lexus is300. Well maybe if you get a header and cam gears you might be able to beat your cousins grand prix.!!!!:)

[gonzoATX]

true true but i dont know about the 15hp gains that they claim since they are mostly known for the 7hp averages of most of the cars that get the weapon r dragon intake system unless i dont know what true gains are if i had it????lol lol

[tritonheat1]

Thanks again for the info, and i think it would really be a close race if you get a header and cam gears on the MP3. Power to the MP3.!!!!!lol:) one more Q though?? some guy i know owns a 98 Grand prix GTP his has a governer at 124mph that's what he said. Does your cousins grand prix have a governer or does it have a higher topspeed than 125mph.?????:rolleyes: ?????

[gonzoATX]

since its a gt i my cousins is a regular one i dont know for sure if it does have one we went as high as 110 but not faster than that... i was able to catch up little by little but after about 2 car lengths ahead of me all ready i consider this a lost...:(

[tritonheat1]

Hey man don't worry, after header and cam gears he will have a grin on his face after he see's the back of the taillights when you guys race again. Does he have any mods on his GT grand prix????;)

[katsmp3]

the type r will only be made in Japan now.. but its a phat car..

i test drove an rsx type s last june when i was getting my mp3. i think its pretty quick.. the one i drove was black with black leather interior.. i drove it for 15 minutes and still hadn't cooled off at all, and i live in mississippi so it was probably 100 degrees.

over all, i wish that the mp3 was a 6 speed and had guages like the rxs. but mp3 style wins hands down.
