I put my on 500 miles of "break in" and just in time. Some kid (looked like Eminem) in a Silver RSX is blasting his $hitty stock radio and eyeing me at a light on the way home from work today. Light turns green and all I hear is his wheel spinning. I immediately hop on him just as he gets traction. He never got past my rear bumper I could hear him reving the $hit out of his VTEC but I think he had an auto, because I know that RSX has at least another 1500 RPMs to go when he shifted. We shut it down at 80. We get to the next light and I look over and he is just staring straight ahead no emotion and in the middle of nowhere bangs a right turn and flees the scene.

 

Very entertaining. Keep those kill stories coming!

 

hahaha
good job man...i like rsx but no way they can keep up, i'm not sure about type-s tho.

 

i dont know what he was thinkin'. nice kill dood.

 

Probably was an S-Type! My bro's Automagic RSX doesn't spin the wheels from a stop... at least not like my Max. When we launch together, he always takes off first with hardly any spin, & I'm left behind spinning!... but then *ROAR* he can see my NiCe Nissan OEM altezzas! I think they don't spin cause of the restricive stock airbox. Because, once it gets the air moving, it will spin in 2nd gear too! And that's a damn 5spd automagic w/160HP. I haven't raced him to 80, but I'm sure I'd have more than a couple car lengths on his A$$... so it seems that you were running with a S-Type! Good run, man!

Freakin Ha Ha ha !!! Just for my So Cal purpose, where was the kill at ? One of the RICER sections of SD ???

 

Mission Valley..like where Dave and Buster's is at

 

Haha.. from your ID, it seems that you moved to SD, from NYC... just like Kloogy did!

Or are you just trying to tell us that you are a player, from EAST to WEST?...

G

 

We are BOTH players that WENT from East to WEST ! ... That is a nice racer zone. My only problem is when I leave Dav and Busters, Im so stinkin LOADED , I cant race !

 

LOL... there's no such thing as a MARRIED PLAYER, Kloogy!... you of all people should know that!

PLAYERS --> KLOOGY -->

I smoked a RSX-type S one day about 2-3 months ago. This punk with his silver rocket smokes out from a light on me. I wasn't even paying attention, talking with my boy "the jolly green giant" (He is big). So I took off after him, he had at least two cars on me. Within 1/4 mile I had taken the lead and put one car on him. The whole time he was jammin gears and peekin over his shoulder, all he heard was the intake "roarin". I shut it down on the top of 3rd so that was about 80 or 90. I look back and think I was a dumbasss for racing him, but I still smoked him.

I also took a modded Celica GT-S one day. Same crap, dood just jumped out of no where and was screamin around me. I kept beating him, but didnt think he got a good launch so I would stop after 2nd and wait for him again, the he would jump again. Finally I just let him pass me then I hit it. Smoked past him within 100yrds. I ended up putting about 4-5 cars on him by the time we went another 100yrds.
Another stupid Race I shouldn't have been in, but sometimes I just cant help myself, it is like my "dope".

Just my 2 tales.

 

Yup!!

Single = Player

Married = Played Out

 

About 3-4 months ago I was stopped at a light in central NJ. Some dude in a new A4 thought he was all hot next to me. I wasnt paying attention and had no desire to race but he jumped it from the light. I met up with him at the next light(one red after another). I decided he needed to learn. Light turned green and I romped it. I had to let off a little to get traction but still took him. Hit about 75-80 by the time I came up on the next light and he was at least 1-2 car lengths back.
I proved my point but he wasnt satisfied so he took off from that light and went flying again. It was a heavy cop zone so I laid back. I followed to the highway where I proceded to leave him way back. What a tool!!!
Dont mess with the MAX!!!

Kloogy you were from the area, ever race up 287? Nice and fun!!

 

Plus, there are mad cops there on Fri/ Sat night because of stupid drunk ricer punks. Yeah, I'm in San Diego, but my heart is in NYC. By the way..off topic, but I can't wait to see the Padres get whipped by the Bronx bombers this weekend!

 

LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Don't I know it!

 

Nice job. Wish my car would do that.

 

To be honest, I don't think I was even trying that hard

 

hey NYc, how much did your k&n cost you? and do you feel it has made your car any faster, and dies it affect the engine in any way?

 

It was about $45. To be honest there is very little difference. The main reason I put it in my cars is because it pays for itself. The K&N doesn't require any maintenence for 50K miles and lasts till 100K (supposedly). Normally in 100K miles you'd go through 10 to 15 normal paper filters at $15 a pop.

 

has your gas mileage changed, what did u get before and after> and do u have stickor auto?

 

In my previous Y2K I didn't really notice the change in MPG, but you're talking to the wrong guy because my driving is really inconsistent. One day road trip, next day city miles. In my 2K2 I only have 500 miles so I am not tracking it yet.

 

ahhh, i have 2k miles and wasnt sure whether to do it or not

 

I'd do it just for the long term savings...and if you can feel the extra 3HP then all the better.

cool, but correct me if im wrong, i thought i heard sum1 say they had a prob. with putting in the k&n in their max and they had to take it 2 the shop. i know it sounds weird, but just wanted to bring it up.

 

There have been a lot of talk about blown MAF (mass air flow) sensors. This problem has mostly been happening with aftermarket intakes. A lot of these intake use the K&N cone filters. If you're talking the drop in replacement you'll have no such problems. I haven't had a problem in almost 3 years. Even if you do, you can easily swap it to the stock filter in like 10 seconds before having a dealer look at it.

 

I don't believe it was a Type-S. Those pull 14.8 stock. The guy probably had a 5spd manual Base RSX. With my cousins type-s we took out a GS-T 5speed by a good 4 cars. Unless you have a Maxima 6spd don't count on taking an RSX-S.

 

ok, cool, ill get 1 soon.

 

An RSX-S has 200HP and it is light. My neighbors brother has a lowered one with intake and exhaust and he took me two out of three races, the one race I won by maybe 2 feet. All three times he jumped me off the line. Now granted I have a 2K1 but I can drive, do not underestimate them, they are nice.

BTW NYC update your profile so we can see if you are an auto or stick.

 

Lokk at the pic in my sig

 

Yeah, I have one of those......

I am let down by the RSX type-S. I had a Civic with GSR Swap head work and every mod you can do without going forced. I used to smoke GS-Ts with turbo work all day. My car was fast, took a few Type Rs too. I don't think they did the Type R justice by saying this car was to replace it...

The RSX I raced just had an intake from what I can tell. It was prolly slowing him down.

 

Yes it was... if you noticed, there are members here running 14.2 in the 1/4 BONE STOCK Automagic GLEs! That would explain his 1/2car difference, by the time he shut down. And we are talking 255HP 2k2s, not 2k1s. My brother's Automagic RSX can't even TRY to hang with me, even if I have my handbrake on!

So according to what you're saying, a 160HP RSX = 255HP Max in the quarter mile?...

G

 

If you even read my previous post I am saying that the 200hp RSX-S is faster than the Auto 255hp Maxima yet slower than the Maxima 6speed. By the way there has never been a Auto Maxima that ran a 14.2 1/4 Mile stock and nor will anyone ever run a 14.2 stock with a 2002 Auto. You might find out that the GLE that you are talking about is a Manual but I don't think they make the GLE with a 6speed.

 

Someone posted his 14.2 this on board, or 5thgenmaximas.com.... I can't remember. It was during the winter, so 14.2 is NOT out of the question (cooler airflow = faster times). And you're the one that said "I don't believe it was a Type-S.

So you're saying that a 255HP 2k2 BARELY outran a 155HP RSX?... What I'm saying id IT WAS A TYPE-S RSX... BECAUSE I HAVE BOTH A REGULAR RSX & A 2K2 AUTOMAGIC MAXIMA IN MY GARAGE... AND I'M NOT YELLING.... MY CAPSLOCK JUST FLEW OFF THE DAMN KEYBOARD... ahh... got it back on.

Not flaming, but unless you have an RSX-S, an RSX, and a 2k2 Max in your garage, your viewpoint has no logical basis. You lose, I win!

G

 

Yeah Baby ! Sweep the Faith !

Oh, and just because im married doesnt mean my number is retired ! ..... , and bring on your RSX type FART ! NY and I will smoke him at the same time... I'll show him my Yankees License plate frame !

 

Huh?... Dude, your Yankees plate is in the FRONT!.... oh, you'll beat him in REVERSE!... yeah!... that's better!

LOL, your lucky the wifey is not a MAXIMANIAC

G

 

I said my Yankees License plate FRAME !

Thats in the REAR !

 

... my bad... but if you beat him in REVERSE... it would be fun for all of us!

Hey, BTW: what's the TOP SPEED in REVERSE for our Maxes?...

G

 

Thats (- 155 MPH !)

 

I wish I had an antenna to attach my Yankees banner to when I go see them whip the Padres tomorrow.

 

I have a Yankees Flag that attaches to my window ! ....
