On my way home from the gym i pulled up next to some ricer looking two door. I looked over and noticed the car had a gauge pillar, then the stereotypical asian driver looked over at me and we gave each other a nod. I thought...bwahahaha ricer prolly with no turbo ,i wonder what he's gonna say when he sees that its a volvo lol. Right about the time light turned green, I eased in the gas, and then the acura flew past me smoking tires shooting flames outta its ginormous exhaust, he got and held a good 4-5 car lead until i backed off cause we were getting too close to stupid speeds for city streets. Sadly he turned off at the next light, but he definitely had a turbo on that thing. Surprised the ssss outta me, i need to get on that whole stage 3 deal.

narp, but i saw the little acura symbol on the back, it's got me very intrigued

[Dave 54]

probably a integra with a swapped motor and a stupid big turbo.

Haha, you sure it wasn't an RSX with a Honda badge? I ran across one of those stupid things with a turbo on the highway one morning. He had lots of fart, no acceleration.

Stage 3 probably won't be enough, our cars still weigh about 1000-lbs more than the average built Honda. My Integra with minimal weight savings is a little under 2500-lbs.

[weekendwarrior]

stage 3 1/2?

And it was an acura people, an acura!!!!

[fivex84]

My Acura says made by Honda.

[slowvo]

Ha its okay man, I was with my friend in his 03' cobra that dyno'd at around 500rwhp and one day we came across a red integra that totally walked on him on the highway. It was pretty epic.

An ACUUUUURAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

it's wayyyyyyyyyy easier to make a honda/acura faster then us and most other cars for that matter. cheap parts and huge aftermarket support.

I'm almost contemplating buying a crx and boosting it.....gut it, sleeper cage, yada yada. My buddy Phil has an eg on a bone stock motor with cams, t3/t4 stage 3 from G-pop, and a good tune. Makes almost 280whp @ 14psi. Smokes the shit out of the 850 . We need more carbon fiberz in the volvo world!!

HAd one, it was fun, good luck finding a shell not chewed up by rust these days. B18c5 supercharged, intercooled.

There will ALWAYS be someone who is faster than you. Deal with it.
