For those of you on yoursciontc.com know my mods, and know what I ran last Sunday.....

Well I was on my way home from dropping off some things at my new condo when i see a black streak fly past as I was getting on the 280 going back down to San Jose. As I get up to freeway speeds, I see that its a new Honda Civic Si, and I must say its looked damn sexy. all black w/ gloss black wheels and black tint and exhaust. Well I get behind him in 5th, and the guy in front of him got out of the fast lane, and then I noticed a l'il black smoke come from his exhaust, I though "downshift" so I quickly figured out what was going on, so I to went to 4th. the verdict was clear form the gate. He wasn't going ANYWHERE on me, topped out 4th then slammed 5th.

(BTW: I just want to say I usually don't like to street race, but I couldn't resist this time, ESPECIALLY after reading the crap the ALAS posted up what the ClubSi forum was saying about the tC today) ANYWAY, slammed 5th, and started pulling up to his bumper slightly, then a l'il more. We both let off, and got onto 101 (yes, I know 101 is notorious for cops) BUT when we merge onto 101 from the on ramp (I was in 3rd) we went at it again. slamming to 4th, then to 5th. I kept creeping up on him like i was a assassin getting ready to use a strangle wire. Well we both decided to let it go, and he was a good sport, when I got off at my 85 exit, he waved a thumbs up and smiled and was on his way. I got the satisfaction of knowing that I can easily run with a new SI, and finally putting this debate to rest.

Moving this to the "autosports & technique" forum.

 

Nice work, thanks for letting them know out there.

Side view mirrors should read....

Warning tC in mirror is getting larger as it appears.

Yeah, with your mods (ones listed in your profile) you are in range to stay with or slightly behind a new non modded Si.
Depending on the other driver.

Deffinetly link us to them, I would love to check it out.

 

I can't wait to run next to an Si with my new setup... just spank the guy.... If his windows are up, he'd never know... windows down... BOV and Wastegate are the only things that give me away.

I sleep well...

I was asking for links to ClubSi of them talking crap about the tC. Not pics of your car. lol. But since I seen your car,
I would like to know where you ordered the CF sheets for the interior from?
I have the TRD Sparks C/F dash trim, but I'm liking the RAW look of yours better.

But yes, if you can point me to where they are talking about the tC on the Si forum, I would appreciate it.

lol sorry bro..... oh also, gabe (stylis) has these sheets..... iordered the SILVER sheet from him this week, and im going to be doing my rear section on the hatch (right above the license plate... it will look SICK!!!!

 

Cool. I couldn't do the outside with the stuff, as it would not match the C/F fenders and C/F hood (as they are clear coated, and look more glossy). What's the going price on the goods?

 

$60 for a 9" x25" sheet and $85 for one twice as large

 

That's not bad, I will be looking into some.

Thanks mang

 

So you have I/E/H and s pipe and you can creep away from a Si and the driver could have been bad....you don't know. Doesn't end any debate really, imho

 

Ummm...driver or no driver, I am pretty confident a tC with I/E/H will creep away from a 2006 Si in stock form. Not by a lot, but it should result in a tC victory.

 

Original poster mentioned the Si had an exhaust too.

So if this were true, my set up of CAI, S-pipe, catback, crank pulley, and Unichip should also keep me running with a stock Si?

with that setup, you should be able to pull away from it.

 

Sweet, never tried a new Si.. thought they'd be a lot quicker.
