Just got the car back this weekend from getting a major tuneup and porting done to help with boost creep, thanks to our very own nukefission (thanks Victor). Car is running much better now so I'm definately pleased.
I was leaving a co-workers house when I see this early '90s hatch with some aftermarket front bumper going in the other direction. He quickly makes a u-turn and comes up behind me at a left-turn light. DSM gods must be shining on me finally because I never get any races, but here we go! On green I go slowly and get in the right lane; as expected he jumps in the left lane to show me his Honda power. As he reaches my door I slam down the gas in 2nd. By 85-90 I had around 3 cars on him and hit the hazards, slowing down for traffic. I must say he kept up much better than I thought he would (not many fast Hondas in my area, at least that I know of anyways). So I figured he must have something more than the typical. Said he had a B16 swap ('99 Civic Si right?) with exhaust, intake, cams, and some other stuff. In a light car like that, it was pretty quick, and a nice sleeper because those early '90s hatches are uggggly.
