Last night a couple friends of mine and I were just out cruising. Me and my one friend who has a 2000 Integra GSR (intake, catback, short throw, they make 170-180HP stock) got caught up at a light. Light turns green we both take off normal, I give it a little gas just to get moving and he takes it as me wanting to race.
He punches it and gets a car on me. Luckily I was at 4000RPM so the secondaries were open. I reel him in fast and and am at his fender when I miss the 1-2 :bash: . He misses 2nd as well and I get it in before he does and wind out 2nd. He was on it in second immendiatly after I was. I had a car and a half on him in second while walking away. Then I hit third and the space starts to grow fast. By the top of third I had a good 5 cars on him from what I could tell, possibly more from what happens later. I go through 4th a little and I have almost 2 busses on him, which makes me think he let out.
We go to Taco Bell afterwards and he his mad! So this makes me think he was still on it while I was in 4th. He says I have a fully built up motor when it's just a rebuilt 3L with headers and the heads were just ported to accept the SVT manifolds and I just cleaned up the casting and smoothed the intake and exhaust ports. I'd hate to see what would've happened if I had a tune on this thing as guys are putting down just shy 200whp with nothing more than a tune for high test with full 3L swaps. That or I had the stock final drive ratio in, 4.06 to the 3.82 I have in the car now.
I thought I did good considering I have a good 300lbs on him. The car is absolutely beautiful looking and well kept. He's real cool and took it well so I'm happy with that.
It was was a good night altogether, except for the scare I had. After that run the car died on me. I'm sitting at a 4 lane highway intersection trying to start my car. It won't and I'm getting frustrated. I find out it's the wiring harness that goes to the coil, the clip is broke and it likes to pop off under WOT. The wire tie I had on it got hot and expanded which allowed it to slip off. I gotta fix that now

This was my first real test in this car and has proven itself well so I'm happy.
