Yeah, concentrate on school and getting the career going before worrying about dumping money into your car. I drove a pos geo prizm throughout school and into me getting a good job before even thinking about getting and modifying a car. **** gets expensive and a good career will make it easier.

I love this thread, my friend has a 1995 Integra 194xxx miles muffler delete and airbox mod. He raced a 1997 GMC Sierra(4.3 auto) with just a thrush muffler and a gorilla for a driver regular cab long bed and a 2000ish Civic Si

Race 1# (Sierra) Just got on 364 rolling about 60 I'm in the Integra and we honk it off, the Sierra gets the jump about half car by 70 then we pull HARD I think he shifted into third??

Race 2#(Sierra) Rolling about 20 same thing except we pulled all the way to about 115 and by then we couldn't even see his truck anymore.

Race 3#(Sierra) 70 roll same thing the truck gets the first jump for about half a car then we pull hard.

Race 4# Civic Si(CAI and cat back) from a dig, even till about 30 then the Civic get's three lengths and something happened with the Integra it just bounced off the Rev-Limiter and wouldn't shift into 2nd? Don't know why.

Race 5#(Civic Si) dig; Civic puts massive amounts of bus lengths, it was probably football field lengths. Yes FOOTBALL FIELD lengths, he was scared he hurt his Integra. We left and went home.

My friend with the Integra is PISSED he wants something faster and a stick haha. Someone in the St. Charles/St. Peters area might recognize the car, it's white, body is pretty much destroyed and it says "King Kong" on the windshield and back hatch and an asian driver lmao.

Vids are coming here soon. Gotta make some dinner and then I'll add them here.

My friend ahs the exact same mods as you, but he's an auto. Another friend has an '11 Mustang V6 m6 with Roush exhaust. Both should be fun races once the snow clears.

Cool Daily Driver Shootout!

So last night me and a few friends had enough of this damn cold weather stopping our racing fun, so we headed out with 5 slow cars to have some fun.

(me)05 Focus- stock 5 speed (synchros are going out in a couple gears)
old POS Dakota- stock 5 speed, V6
Cobalt- stock 5 speed
Contour SVT- 5 speed, intake, headers, Y pipe,
Integra- 5 speed, intake, header, full exhaust, suspension


Dakota was talking **** saying he'd beat everyone.....some were saying the 'teg would beat the SVT as well. Basically this is how most thought it would fall:

Teg>SVT>Cobalt>Focus>Dakota (except Dakota owner thought he'd own all)

Onto the vids




Me (focus) vs cobalt [SVT behind us honked for this race only, both of us missed 2nd but I jammed it through the terrible grind and he let out]
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A34SFU7BCJs


Dig again but cobalt honked, ran to like 110.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LWhFa325Scc


Focus vs Dakota Round 1
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGMIVrb6F0A


CSVT vs Integra --dig (teg lacks driver mod on launch)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRgy-6dCK-M


CSVT vs Integra -- 25 roll
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eH6WDzdAaNk


Integra vs Cobalt (again, teg can't launch for ****)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=boI-pXxpXJQ


Dakota vs Focus, he wanted rematch so I powershifted every gear but the 1-2 shift, ran to 100+.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ItFpkMhxN4



CSVT takes the DD crown. We all had a fun night of ******* around in slow cars. Winter is too long.

Told you we had vids. One of the guys has a GoPro but didn't bring it. You're just pissed every car was faster than your DD!

CSVT driver also has a '91 Firebird Bandit II (5.0 TBI with exhaust) and wants to race the Integra that thought it was fast. Here's a vid from the CSVT's car showing what he thinks of the 'teg. (from his FB)

Idiot. The Contour has the gauges, not the Integra or Cobalt. The SVT & teg have the exact same mods pretty much. Hell, the Integra's dash light is out and he can't even see his dash unless he has the dome light on. Slow *** 'tegs. Cobalt was bone *** stock with a better driver.

**** no. I can't decide between ****. If this damn car ever sells, that would be an issue. Winter is the worst time to sell an f-body, go figure right?

Secretly, I kind of want an SS/TC, just to have a quick daily and something a bit different, while still being built better than an f-bomb. They are super easy to mod, and with no track around me anymore, 1320 times aren't a big deal. Roll Patrol!


How are things comin with your teg? Buying anything?
