Alright my first kill with my 5-spd talon. Boy the car is faster, no comparision.
Well I got my clutch engagement kinda of acceptable, but it still engages right off the floor. New master cylinder tomorrow.
Anyway I decided to go for a spin around the block, and on the highway. I was easing along the onramp onto I-94 taking it easy with the fresh act 2600, shifting at 3K, when I see a Electron Blue Civic buzz by with exhaust, spoiler the usual works, lowered.. Not a day to race I thought.
So I ease up to 70 mph, and slowly catch up to our friend and pass him slowly... He decided to drop it down a gear, and show me up. Great, not today. So I slow down to about 45 in the right lane, to check the status on the car. He also decides to slow down, and he is right next to me. 2 asain guys laughing, and pointing. Ok. Maybe the clutch is new, but this is enough. I put the AVC-R in mode "A". Dropped it into 3rd, and rolled along at about 3,500. The guy downshifts and starts creeping away. I drop the hammer, and man the turbo spools fast to 18 psi with a 5-spd. The wheels started to break free a bit, but I ripped past him very fast. I hit 4th, and he was dropping back. Hit 5th and ran it out to the top, and he was an easy 10 car lengths back. I was pretty impressed with my car. I slowed it down back to 65, and he flew past me at 80+ and kept going.
I checked the Avc-R max speed, and I was going 196 kmh,which is about 125 mph
I must say my car impressed me tonight. All those mods I did, actually do something now on my car.
