Been awhile since i posted.

Awhile back I posted how badly i got whooped by a 5spd Eagle Talon Tsi. Well lastnight i went to downtown Boise on the "cruise" and got lined up at a light with a Talon Tsi. I had 2 of the people that were with me when i got beat by the other one, and one of their little brothers, so there were 4 people in my car to his 2. I was revving alittle bit on him but he didn't look over or anything so i wasn't sure if he was going to race, when the light turned green i took off pretty hard but not all out. And looked over and he mashed it, so i mashed the gas and we shot off, He shifted into second and got a jump on me and we were neck and neck, i couldn't hear my engine and wasn't watching the rpm's and bounced the rev limiter ;( (i was shifting manually). I shifted and shot back up, we went up to about 65 or 70 when we shut down, by the time we both shut down, his nose was at my door. I just had to let out a scream, cause I KNEW i could beat a Talon Tsi. My 2 friends that were with me the first time i got beat congradulated me and i said i told them so. Cause i told them i could atleast hang with a Talon Tsi.

Later that night got lined up with a Acura Integra 5spd aswell. He knew it so he reved on me and i reved on him. Light turned green we both light our tires up pretty bad. He got off the line first and got a nice jump, my nose was at his door, then we shifted and i got up neck and neck, then he slammed on his brakes for a limo that parked in the street right infront of him, so we only got about a 500 ft. run. WOuld have been a good race, intresting to see if his VTEC would have pulled on me, most likely though.

Was fun night. I got my revenge !

 

What other mods do you have??

I KNOW you have more than a muffler....right?

 

hmmmmmmmmmm a VG auto VS a Talon TSi. . .. U SURE it was a TSI man? i know for a fact they are faster than a max. i ran against my buddy's stock TSI and he romped on me fairly well. oh well. . . .

 

Your car runs low 17s/high 16s stock. A Talon TSi runs high 14's/low 15s stock. You compensated for 2 seconds??

Maybe possibly an auto RS/GS?

 

It was a TSI
weather the guy could drive it or not, well that speaks for itslef.
I heard the turbo on it spool up as he went for second gear and got alittle worried he was gunna hand me my ***, but i shifted and stayed ahead. Was weird.
Wins a Win. Thats the first thing i said to my friends, he didn't know how to drive but a win is a win.

And no, i'm all stock except for my glasspack.

 

and in a race if you can't drive, you just can't win unless you've got a Viper or something to that matter ....I saw a supercharged Civic Si with headers and exhaust only run a 15.5 at the track once, BUT it was his first time at the track and first time really racing the car, so especially with 5spds driver experience/dependence is a big factor! but don't expect to hang with a stock TSi with a GOOD or even halfway decent driver, you won't have a chance just consider yourself lucky your friend can't drive!

 

well congrats, i'm impressed.

 

It had to be an auto then.

 

no auto
he was shifting
and feathered the clutch off the line.

 

he musta just learned how to drive stick that morning.

 

lol
probably but he still got taken down by an old family car

I had to make out with my dash for a few minutes after the run
hah

 

Either something is wrong with his TSI or he really sucks at driving stick and should consider buying an auto! lol
