So i've got my header/exhaust on and I've been waiting for a challenge. Last week I went into my boy's shop and met a kid (19) who was about to buy a '95 civic hatchback with a b18 swap, AEM V2 intake, exhaust, and thats about it.
Tonite I had just gotten back from the Peruzzi Scion Car show and I was drivin around town with my shoes off to just mess around and get a better feel for the car with the new mods. I saw the guy with the civic drive past me on the main road in my neighborhood. I called him up, asked if he wanted to run real quick, and told him to wait for me at the getty station (where i used to work) so I could put my shoes on and we could drive to the spot together. We decided to race up a monster hill in my town (lawrence road, 4 lanes, and actually crosses overtop I-476 rite at the point we raced) from a 25 mph roll after the 3rd horn blast.
We came up to the red lite to turn left to go up the hill, I was behind him cuz there was someone else in the rite lane (2 turning lanes). At green we both jumped out and I crossed over to the right lane. We both settled in around 25, I downshifted to 2nd...one...two...third blast we both got on it nose to nose! It was crazysweet. We started up the hill pretty even, but I shifted into 3rd and started to PULL on him pretty good up the hill..he eventually had to get out of it cuz there was a car in his lane.
At the top of the hill there is a red lite, then a church. I looked over at him and was just like, dude that was a sick race! but he couldn't hear me cuz his window was up (must be manual). I think he thought i said 'lets go again'...and we were kinda both lookin like we wanted to go. So at Green, with a bunch of cars now behind us, we Both revved up and launched like crazy....Again, even thru 2nd, then in 3rd I started to pull again! We came up to the church and I had to let off it, he blew by me (def a bad idea, but way fun)
We found a side street and stopped for a hot minute to talk, then peaced out.
Btw, besides the tc's stock weight, I have at least 100 lbs worth of audio equip. in the trunk! that civic is lite as anything, altho my boy is kinda hefty!
It was a GREAT RACE, either way though. I would have died to have someone in my car taking video. I guess there is no replacement for that 2.4L displacement!!!!
