hey everyone- got a little boyRacer action form this weekend...
so im stage 2 from cobb, UP/DP/exhaust to the side off the DP. i raced the 04 sivler WRX from the kid at my school the other day, he has PDX Custom tuned ecu, UP and turbo-back exhaust, short ram inake, pulleys and intercooler hoses.
first i took a ride in his car, he has nice sparcos and gadgets inside, felt very fast too. he burned his clutch the only time he launched though....
now in my car and him in his, the first 'race' was kinda awkward, i got slight late start which must have messed me up cause i bogged, but not to bad,while he got ahead but burned his clutch again- SO stinky. its a new clutch too, i dont think he should be runnign it hard after only a few weeks, he destoryed his old one, hes had the car a few months... so anyways that race sucked, he shut down before we got into second gear.
now we head onto the highway. in third gear side by side he honks three times, yet doenst go right away on the third honk, but i do. i start out then about half a car ahead, and i expect him to pull on me....nothing. i had to shut down, there were cars....so we wait a bit and then try again.
this time, in third, we both go at the same time, and all the way through 3rd i look at his car and i am slowly pulling away from him. i was surprised... shifting into fourth im almost a car length on him...not really sure exactly, but def. noticeably ahead..
the outcome was weird, i thought since he has more stuff he would win? maybe my cutout exhaust really helps? maybe its bugeye power?
it wasnt really driver skill cause i was pulling when we both started in third...
