On my way to school today in the morning around 6:00am... I was driving slightly more aggressive than usual cuz i was late... Seems to caught this 98-00 4 cylinder with either 18" or 19" wheels'accord's attention.... well at least i assume it was a 4 banger... i dunno, didn't see his rear....
1st light he pulled up... and gunned it! it was like VROOMZZZZ from his exhaust... I gassed a little and stayed right beside him... had to slow down... cuz next red light is coming up... I figured... no one around, y not... light goes green again, that mother gunned it again! so i floored it about 1/2 second later, and i was right beside him, pulled on him around 40mph and at 60mph he was looking at my Scion Xa badge! :rofl:
Next light comes up, he didn't even pull next to me! he just stopped behind me! LOL.. prob thought, "Echo engine 108 HP, Haha" and then got owned!

And what mods exactly put you on par with a 160 hp accord??
More than just those ground wires I hope! :eyebrow:

see!! these are exactly the kind of remarks and attitude that ticks me off! Just to let you know the accord with F23B only has 150hp and 140lbs of torque for a ~3100lbs car + those cars have really long gear ratios... Not to mention those blingbling rims which prob weights 25+lbs each! autos they are hella slow even 5spd is not all that! Trust me I used to own a 97 CL which is almost equivalent to the accord!
Its not only about horse power! Its also about Power/Weight ration and gearbox gearing. Our Scions have really close ratio for quicker accelaration compared to most economy/mid-sized cars! Gear ratio is the reason why we can accelarate slightly faster than the echos/civics. Note that we will lose out on top speed though because we will run outta gear! i have a auto and at 110~120mph rpm is like 4~5k on 4th gear!
Just to answer the questions here are the powermods:
Weapon R intake (header wrapped)(air ducted to where the fogs are)
TB throttlebody bypass
Ground wires
NGK Iridium plugs
DC header (header wrapped)
2" custom exhaust (header wrapped)
Polyuthrane motor mounts + Weapon R engine dampener
Perrin Pulley
15" Rota Slipsteams
Muteki light weight tuner lugs
15lbs Hawker Genesis battery
35 Nitrous Express (DID NOT USE)
not much! but trust me enough to give those slightly more powerful car a good run. With the 35shot i've actually hanged and pulled slightly from my friends V6 2000 accord sedan!
I apologize for the attitude, dude give our Xa/Xb alittle more credits than that!

Teens Killed in Apparent Street Race
By Victor Ojeda
An accident last night in St. Peters appears to be the end result of a street race.
Two 16-year-old boys were killed when they lost control of their car on Highway 94. A WB 11 investigation found street racing is a problem for law enforcement in St. Charles County. Teens say racing is all about adrenaline, but sometimes that rush can cost lives.
Witnesses said they saw two cars racing around 11 p.m. Saturday night on Highway 94 near Jung Station Road. One car lost control, flipped over the median and landed in oncoming traffic. Killed were 16-year-old Jacob Liscombe, a passenger, and Bradely Boss, also 16, who was the driver. Liscombe's parents say Jacob was a sophomore at Francis Howell North High School who loved to play golf. While friends came to his home to mourn, Liscombe's parents said their son was at a party last night when he decided to go along with Boss to street race.
Teenagers in St. Charles County say street racing is the thing to do. Street racing events are often planned in high school hallways. "We all get together and thats just what we do," 16-year-old Jeremy Jacquez said. Julie Bennett, 17, said she never participates, but said, "You just hear a lot of people, they get their cars ready and start talking about how they are going to go street race."
When we went undercover, we found police in St. Charles had their hands full. At a commuter lot hundreds of young people congregated around midnight, waiting to race. St. Charles Police say all they can really do is clear the lot, forcing the teens to go into St. Peters, where police there will most likely move them to another municipality. "It is a never ending story," one officer said. Police are still looking for the second vehicle involved in the street racing that killed the two teens Saturday night. :no:

...So I pulled up at a light next to this acura tl... and I give the driver a "look"... just to let him know what's what...
He thought he could play it cool and pretend to ignore me, but I know he saw me...
I gave him the "nod"... he persisted with his cool act, but he was fooling no body...
The light changed and I floored it... I smoked him instantly, when I looked back, he had barely made it 10 ft from the light... yeah... chalk another win down for my bad-___ box..

I don't care whether you won the "race" or not, street racing is stupid. I thought it was cool when I was 16, but I guess your perspective changes as you grow up.

I recently pulled up next to a 72 year old woman in a wrx. I gave a nod she looked and smiled so i figured it was on. When the light turned green I smoked her. SHe had no clue what happened to her. I figured we would be racing for titles, but she wouldnt pull over when she caught up to me.
Man i smoked that old broad
not a true story, just a joke on how lame some racers/ricers are. That is in no way a reference to you cseika

well, i saw a similar quote on the back of a motor home, it said:
"blaming guns on columbine is like blaming spoons for rosie o'd being fat"
the same i think goes for street racing;
im guilty of racing on the street, but im not a dumbass. there's a safer way to do everything... but then again, ive seen someone die in a 'loss of control' situation
makes you wonder y someone would race on a street they didnt know like the back of their hand... but then again; i havent raced since
RIP that dude in the mustang..he took out 80 feet of chainlink...

usually i drive like my grandma! cuz i'm trying to goddamn save gas! But as i've mentioned b4, i was kinda late for an important client meeting! Plus, was comments like that really necessary!? I was accelarated to 60-65ish on a 45 mph road! Technically it is against the law BUT I know you don't drive under the speed limit ALL THE TIME. and I bet most people here don't either! so don't be hypocrite

did you mean "condescending"? And, if you can't tell, I don't care about your hp, torque, Power to Weight Ratio, or your gearing. I'm sure others are interested, or something....I care more about your "racing". Please sit down and think about something. Speeding and Racing are not one in the same. Simply doing 60 or 65 in a 40 or 45 zone is not the issue. Are you going to tell me that you drive the same when racing as you do when you speed?
I hope this helps, because I don't think I can dumb it down any more for you.

Yeah so listen to this, I just got my box a few weeks ago, no mods whatsoever performance wise. I'm heading to a restaurant with a bunch of my friends. My friend rafael has a pimped out 97 maxima with aftermarket exhaust and he gives me the heads up. And I'm thinkin to myself, yeah right a frickin box is gonna beat a maxima with mods on it. So we go, and he's obviously letting me win, at which point he floors it and gets up to 80 from 40 in about 2 seconds, and the big blue box is still chuggin along. So thats my racing story. I didn't win, but my car still has more head room and a nicer interior, so HA!!!!

If you can afford to buy the box/hatch, if you can afford to buy the mods for it, and if you can afford to fix the sh*t you break... then you can afford to race it legally on the track. Its fun and all... but I've seen to many cars crash, let alone see too many people die from street racing. I've done it before and if its all about me being stupid... then let me kill myself on the track with my own stupidity and not drag anyone else with me... unless course, they're in the passenger seat :p

What judgements are people passing other than street racing is dangerous(as you readily admit) and that it endangers others' lives(as you seem to understand)? Of course people are hypocritical. I'm not telling you that I don't break laws, as I'm sure we all do at some point or another. I am just trying to convey that I believe street racing is much more dangerous than simply speeding(which I'm sure a lot of us do at one point or another). It's interesting that you title your thread "I know street racing is dangerous, blah, blah, blah", then you go into your street racing story, and your mods...but then double back and say that it's wrong. Kind of like someone posting on how they know drunk driving is wrong, then they post their latest drunk driving story...
Regardless, I know you are proud of the time, energy, and money you have put into your car.
CLIFF NOTE: IMO, threads on street racing are getting really tiring.
