I was on my way to pick up my ol' lady when I spot a Honda Civic and Mazda MX-6 driving together. They're next to one another and then the Civic gets to the far right lane and the MX-6 goes left to pass traffic in the center. I get behind the MX-6 just trying to pass as well and then go back into the center lane to pass them both. As I cruise by I notice the Mazda is running odp so I'm thinking maybe he'll bite. I really shouldn't because I'm still running shitty but I can't resist. As I pass by I blow off the twin chamber and immediately the civic gives chase. I shift to 4th and hammer it and what do you know, I actually get it to go into "vtec" all the way thru 8500 so I get him by about 3 cars before I let off. Next the Mazda guy rolls up and wants some too. He has his windows rolled up but I can see him counting down, one two three so again I hit it and jump on him about a car and a half and get the infamous sputter at 6000 rpm. Just to stay with it I up shift quick and luckily keep pulling to about 2 and a half cars before shutting down.

 

Its just a 7th gen celica, the most mod unfriendly cars on the planet

Good kill man.

 

good kill bro

 

Good kill, now tune your car.

 

Thanks guys! And yes, I'm in serious need of a tune. I mean it runs ok (for now) but I really don't know the prob with the tuning (rich or lean) so I don't know if or what kinda damage it might do over time if i don't get it done. But I'm kinda in a whole as far as money goes and I'm sure many of you guys know what I'm talking about so I'll have to deal for now.

And Vash, I hope you're still not sore about my 7th gen beating up on your 7th gen jfwy. But a lot of people say this isn't a good car to mod at all but my car is a great example of doing it right. My car has been boosted for years now and the only probs I've had are probs that anyone gets from turbo charging an n/a car. But as far as the car goes, its a champ. It's never been un-drive-able. How many times do you hear about sentras, rsx's, civics and 240s being down for weeks or months (not picking on anyone impeticular so please no flaming). I might not make as much power but its always backed me up when I needed it and never let me down.
