First of all I drive a 1991 eclipse GSX with JDM G-VR4 (not the 16G) swap and 3" intake pipe K&N, removed silencer and bottom honey comb on MAF. My Brother drives a 1991 civic hatchback with JDM B18C swap 2.5" exhaust, Skunk2 Intake Manifold, intake pipe with K&N, and ACT six puck clutch without springs (I know too much clutch for the car but he already had it and his old clutch was slipping.)
Well today he asked me if I wanted to run to try out his launch with his new clutch so I agreed. First we line up and raced from a stop. He did a small burnout to warm his tires. Then I set my RPM at around 4800 and wait for him to get ready since we had no flagger I honked three times. I start slipping my clutch and after the third honk I instantly put about 2 1/2 cars on him. I shift to second at 7K RPM and keep on pulling I look back and I just saw my brothers car smoking the tires in second gear. I shift to third and I see his car start to catch up quick but it was too late. I put about 3 1/2 cars on him when we cross the finish line. I was surprised that I beat him because I had raced before from a roll and he gave me an asswooping and he was letting off the gas.
I know his car is alot faster than mine if he could get traction. After the race we watched the video and his car didn't even look like he was racing it looked more like if he was doing a burnout. He spun the tires until about third gear thats when the car started to move. I'll try to post the video later and I'll race him again when he gets some drag radials. Sorry if I wasted your time or if my story is too long and boring this is my first kill story.
 
"I was surprised that I beat him because I had raced before from a roll and he gave me an asswooping and he was letting off the gas."

Well lets see, seeing is you grab traction basically instantly from a launch and he sits there and does a big burn out I wonder.
 
What he was trying to say is that when they races from a roll he was beaten so badly, he thought that from a dead stop, the Hatch would have caught up to him. Obviously he is un-aware of how great AWD really is.

Why do people have to act like such smart asses.

Good kill man,...I am sure there will be more. Have fun and try not to break anything.

Thats is exactly what I was trying to say.This is my first car and I am kind of new to DSM's. Before I drove my dsm I was always into hondas and I still have love for them. I have a friend with a SC61 turbocharged B18C crx that is trapping 131 mph in the 1/4 mile at about 16 psi on pump gas and full interior. I was going to buy a honda but I had a $2000 budget so I just bought a new engine and transmssion for a blown dsm that we had laying around and I am happy that I did it.
I've only been driving a 5 speed for about 4 months and Ive been having a lot of fun with the awd. I finally learned how launch it. It took a me a while but I just kept on practicing. Around here no body even knows what a dsm is and they are surprised when I tell them my car has awd. The think that because I don't have any cosmetic mods my car is a slow four banger. There is this kid at school that thinks his brothers stock chevy pickup can beat me because it has a V8 and I need "Nawz" to beat it.

Like I said before Im missing some stuff that I need to transfer the video from my camera to my computer and I can't find it. If I don't find it i'll buy another one when ever I have time because the nearest Walmart is about 30 minutes away from where I live.

I'm thinking somewere between 160-170 WHP but his car only weighs 2080 lbs without him. He raced A Camaro with A 383 on the Freeway and they were right next to each other the whole time with my Brother winning by a little bit at the end. The guy was cool and he was surprised that a civic hung with him and even beat him in topend.
