haha....i blame my stupity for one! I started a project that went well, and kind of tried my own tweaking to an extent.

Right now, I am driving my 94 honda civic, the lexus is still in the garage......as far as the nitrious goes.....it had a lot to do with it, the bottle pressure was at 1550 when I hit it, and my exhaust gauge was pinned! I had it coming....I needed more fuel with it as well....

As far as the little shots are concerned....i would do it....big shots, leave up to the tuners and let them program it for ya...then it should do just fine.........

Ok! now im convinced that it was a 10 second Supra....hahah.
Not to get off topic speedfrk, but do u happen to know the proper way to do a wheelie or to burn out on a bike. I cant do niether of them. Well, actually ....i never tried. haha i just learned to drift in the supra, so i feel like moving up in the XTREME level.

speedfrk

Jorel,
Burnouts are easy-Just stand up with both feet on the ground, hold the bike straight up, put the front brake on hard, run the rpms up to about 4000 and let the clutch out slow. When the tire breaks loose, you can give it more gas and really smoke it down. Aways pull the clutch in and let off the gas BEFORE you let off the brake, or you will be surprised when the bike launches out from under you! Just remember, those tires are expensive!. Wheelies are harder. You should start off learning on a dirt bike, or have someone who is good show you what to do. Be careful. It hurts when you fall!

Jorel C320

HAHAHA...well ill practice on my mountain bike first! Thanks for the info. I wont be burning out much cuz i know how dangerous it could be to ride with bald tires.

Iceman's C230

Race City Speed Way should be open by end of April.. I hope the weather will start to get better here. I like to get the stock 1/4 mile ET's on this car before i do any mod's. I will post my times here soon as i get to the track.

Now remmember Calgary is 4000 Feet above sea level so the 1/4 mile times could be around 16's.... That around 15.4's sea level.

benzy230

cool...let us know how the runs are....

BlackC230Coupe

i am not to sure about that my best friend has a 2001 prelude SH 5 speed and he alwasys beats Type R's and i know 4 of them that he beat were real. otheres i am not sure about one of them with the type r is his friend and he really knows how to drive the car and my friend with the prelude definitly knoes how very good also. They are always racing on the streets and the track. i have to say though these 2 people are the best drvers i have ever been with. and i know my friends prelude does not run high 14's. and sometiles i race the prelude like from a stop light to the next (they are very close lights) and i usually beat him. but when we are just driving he usually beats me. i once beat him though so i just dont get how he beats type r's and i can sometimes beat him, i guess i have to race a type r oneday, i never did.

benzy230

a type R will run 14's.....trust me.....my buddy has a GSR with i/h/e and pulleys and runs a 14.7......as far as the SH goes....and a prelude is not a track car....

When I drive the Coupe around, drivers around me always looks at me and want me to have a race or to see how the Coupe can do. Just like last night, 2 Honda Accord (one is 92 and the other one is 99+) just cut into my lane for no reason, and rev their engine beside me. First, I try to ignore them, but they keep irritating me; therefore, I shift into 2nd and floor the car. I flew by them so fast that no matter how hard their engines are running, they can't just keep up with me.

Why would people compare a Type-R with the C230K, both are complete different types of cars. Type-R is simply a track car, they don't have A/C, power window, sound insulation and all the luxury goods we have in our C230K. The engine of the Type-R is a hand build, 9000 rpm engine and they also have hard as hell suspensions. I think the C230K can beat the Type-R if we shave down the weight of the car by take out all the luxury goods, leather seats, A/C and all the unnecessary items. Then what is the point to having a MB???

just my $0.02

Jorel C320

I dont think any of us were comparing which car is better. We were just stating the specs and differences between them.

benzy230

yeah, i wasnt comparing....i like your point though....*anyone want to help me take out my interior this weekend haha!

Jorel C320

...LOL BENZY....*After you take out the leather seats, A/C, Radio, Car Manual, and Couple gallons of gas, Dont forget to install a roll cage for safety. Then post us when you smoke a type R... .....maybe if you take out the carpet, you can smoke a VIPER GT. ....Wow...im turning into Mb-bob...sarcasms great, isnt it.

benzy230

haha....yeah...i might want to take out the middle consol as well huh...i dont have to take out anything to beat a type R

BlackC230Coupe

Type R's do have A/C and power windows and i am not sure the engines were handbuit.

eason

A/C and Power windows are options in Canada. The engine has been ported and polished by Honda before they put it in the car.

BlackC230Coupe

i never knew that but in the US they came standard.

Here is what I found:

Road & Track 8/98: Acura GS-R 0-60 in 7.2 sec, 1/4 mi in 15.5@91.9

Car and Driver 3/97: Acura Type R 0-60 in 6.6 sec, 1/4 mi in 15.2@93

Sport Compact Car 2000: Acura Type R 0-60 in 6.5 sec, 1/4mi in 14.7@95.2

My old bone stock 1987 5.0 could have taken any one

greg230

the ITRs engine is handbuilt, but only the 98 MY did not come with AC, and power windows (optional) later models offered these as standard equipment, with option to delete.

sunroof, and sound dampening insulation were never offered in any type R.

Unlike the coupe, but just like the s2k and rsx, they have narrow powerbands that force them to be shifted at redline for fear of falling below vtec cutoff. they are interesting cars to drive, but after a while it becomes tiresome (fun on the track). When you drive an itr around the city, people look at u like your insane, cause you have to rev the engine so hard to get any gusto, or everything rolls past you at stop lights.

I also burned a Red Type-R on a hill. But I have no idea if it's a real one or not. I didn't really wanted to race, but I heard his engine rar, so I decided to test it. I didn't even try that hard actually, I just step on the gas (almost to the end) and didn't downshift at all (I own an auto). It was about a 100ft hill, and easily beat it by half a car length. I was along and he had his girlfriend in the car. I loved it because I have embarrased him in front of his girl friend. :o

Exact same hill (in front of my home), An A4, or A6 Wagon (I am not sure which). Maybe an A6. This time, I did down shift to 4th. Stepped on it all the way. We were pretty even at first, I pulled away one car length, and then I saw it was catching up to me from one car length, to half a car length. But then, the 2 lanes merge, so I guess I won, but he was going faster at the end of the run.

And today, I was cut off by a 500E, I was not foolish enough to challenge it, but we went sepearte ways anyways so no need to. But I saw a lot of 500/600 MB owners usually pretty polite not like this one.

I have been waiting for the longest time to run my friend's Man. A4. One of these days.

leepolun, what kind do you drive??
