Hey Mike, it looks like its going to be raining so i think this think will not happen. And why at 10? nobody will be able to see anything at night. furthermore, yes i would take off the passenger seat for the weight. What kind of mods does he have? Are we talking about exhaust and air filter or more? I think i will be coming, not just for the show, but, in the small possibility you get beaten, i can put him in his place (Especially if the road is a bit wet)

the type-r is not stock at all but i will risk it!!!!!!!! it has dc-sport exhaust manifold 4-1, msd ignition, c.a.i, exhaust, greddy e-manage, toda racing clutch, toda racing flywheel, toda cam gears!!!!!!!!!! well i will probaply lose but with not as much distance as everybody things's!!!!! but if i win he will not show his face for a long long long time! i will let you know of the outcome!
Beams
Nov 25, 2004 - 11:41 AM
Dunno i'm just guessing but even if you're even in terms of power it will all go down to you making a good start , due to the weight difference of course. I highly doubt he'll be able to catch you if he messes up the start. Don't race him again if he loses and starts making excuses...."i missed 3rd gear" or "i put 2nd gear instead of fourth" (unless it's really obvious of course) that has happened so many times and it's bull. But anyway try to play it safe, and even if you lose it's just a race. I'm sure it's gonna be tight and everyone will respect ur Celica in the end, whatever the outcome. Best of luck if it goes as scheduled.
Neoklis i don't think he'll want to race with a GT4, he'll definitely lose, and he'll lose badly, but if he's up to the challenge...then hey why not

I noticed that you have turbo exhaust and a turbo timer, does that mean you have a turbo setup?

Half a car length comparitively isn't bad for what he was up against. Kudos to you maikl I hope you get a vid of it up soon (that is if you took vid of it).

and something else dont forget that our cars are no for street racing they are made for the luxury and safety of its owner!!!!!! this is the reason that they are very heavy, my point? if i was 200 kg less i will run over him!!!!!1

Maikl congrats, even if you lost that doesn't mean anything, at least you came close. Hondas have an advantage over us really, weight difference and the fact that they have loads of options to modify their cars. I'm sure he had more in there than just toda cam gears, no one will ever say the truth about what they have under the hood. And as you said he came with semi-slicks...i bet he was really scared...he took you and your car very seriously....Respect to the Celica and respect to maikl for beeing happy and keeping his head up
. I'm sure you would have walked all over him if he didn't have those slicks. Anyway it was just a race and i'm sure everyone had fun.

Great reponse... I like that you made the response without taking some silly pot-shot at Hondas...
I figured you'd lose based on the ITR's mods and your whp. Comparatively speaking... both cars probably weigh the same. Integras of any generation were always around 2500 pounds, the relative weight of a typical Celica. He just has you out-gunned in almost every way, from mods, to overall performance, to slicks, etc... I'll tell you, if he was running camshafts... he woulda walked you by a long shot. Honda B series are no joke. The unfortunate thing is, we don't have any BEAMS 3SGE's here in the States so I can't really make a super accurate comparison... but yeah. So long as you have fun... You know he was serious and showed a bit of respect... that's all I'd ask for.

Well not faster, but its possible that you either would of been neck to neck or near 1/4 a car ahead of him, won't know till you guys race again if ever. I wouldn't bother though if the guy went against his word cause he wanted to make sure he'd win.

Maikl i'm sure you would have owned him if he hadn't gone in to all that trouble taking out stuff just to save weight and also them semi-slicks, which gave him a serious advantage at take off. Anyway it's all good feel happy that you came really close and went into the race as you drive your car everyday
. Maikl one more thing did you further tune the e-manage to gain more hp while ur car was getting dynoed? How many runs did you do?
maikl
Dec 2, 2004 - 8:08 AM
53 runs!!!!!!!!! it shows in my dyno paper.........
