Jsimon9633(TurboRSX) vs Insanecivicsedan

Well we finally got a run in last night. And it was a good one.

Started from 40roll. 2nd gear was even, Shift to third , even MAYBE a bumper for Chris. 4th gear, He starts crawling away from me and by 100-105 he is up 1car MAYBE 1.5 cars.

Nice close runs just like I like them. I am not one to make excuses, he beat me and it gave me a nice outlook on how my car is running in comparison to a pretty quick car that Chris has.

One Issue I keep having is my Apexi Avc-R and my lack of ability to tune the thing heh. It boosts 10lbs in 2nd and 3rd but in 4th it drops to 9lbs. I will get those kinks worked as I am sure Chris will do the same on his and we may redo the runs.

Good runs Chris

We did this 2 times btw, Same results both times.

Tripple post, nice.

Nice death, and good kill Chris.

I wouldn't mind a run Alberto. We should be even on low boost, as that's about what it looked like Chris was doing to me, a slight pull on me in third, however we had to shut down cause of traffic.

I was having some misfire issues due to a bad cap and rotor but mainly in partial throttle, So I really have no excuse.. Full throttle when the MSD puts out more power, the misfires disappear..... My only complaint was my traction issues until about mid third gear, but Im sure Alberto probably has the same issues... Good runs, and we will definitely give it another go if youd like when all the bugs are worked out of both of our cars... Thanks for being so cool about it Alberto

BTW, Smurf, Albertos car is not slow by any means... I have beat a few of the "fast" V8s, and he still gave me a pretty good run....

Good death and good kill Insane. I have been in Insane's car quite a few times. The issues he is having are a big pain in the ass. Insane, did you run off the two step or ... ?

He wont, he has no traction even in 2nd he said so doubt he would from a dig. I have street tires and he has drag radials so I get worse traction than that.

I will run you from a dig though. I dont curr!
