him: yeah
me: u gotta 6th gen accord right?
him: its a 99
me: so 6th gen
me: lol
him: its not the fastest thing out there (sarcasm) but eh
him: its a good car
me: yea it is
him: well its FF
me: id race you but you have about a 100hp advantage against me
him: you can pick the course and rules
me: manual or auto?
me: for your car?
him: manual
me: stay in 1st gear
me: lol
him: hp isnt everything
him: whats your engine specs/
me: 7th gen coupe
him: how much torque is it putting out
him: and whats your gear ratio like
me: not that much unfortunatly
me: gearing ratio i dunno cuz i dont bother b/c its a auto
him: mmm, i assume it has ABS then
me: yea
him: and your cars a FF too right?
me: well yea
him: hm
me: all hondas cept for the s2000 is FF
him: yeah the only way its fair is if we do like
him: cat and mouse with you picking the course
me: alright
me: so how long have you been into cars?
him-6 months or so and had my car for 3 months
him: we're doing with passing rules or no?
me: its 1 lane each way
me: if you want to do that
me: go ahead
him: sure, why not
him: makes things interesting
me: haha okay
him: ive been into cars for about 6 months
me: o
me: what mods you got?
him: im gonna put a supercharger on it
him: right now im just replacing the things that my dad didnt though
him: like my clutch is gone atm
him: lol
me: o
me: how long you have the car for?
him: im getting a cold air intake in a month or two
him: about 3 months
me: o
me: thats coo
him: im going to set it up as a jet intake
me: o
me: thats coo
me: so ya into drifting?
him: i cant drift dude
him: i have a FF
him: i powerslide
me: o
me: i was asking in general
me: not if you do it w/ your car
him: yeah
him: drifting and powersliding are similar
me: o
him: whatre you putting on your car?
him: j/w
him: turbo?
me: so far only catback greddy evo II and SRI
me: nah no turbo for me
me: not on this motor anyways
him: you should really get the ABS removed
him: that ***** gay
me: o
me: why?
him: because, it just makes you roll over more
him: and it wears out your brakes and tires
me: ohh
me: well its a daily driver
me: so abs is good to have
him: no, even daily
him: its still better without
me: ohh
him: well assuming you know how to brake
me: hrm
me: thats interesting
me: so so far your cars stock?
him: i ordered a new k&n air filter
him: it should be in tomorrow
him: but other then that, yep
me: ohh
me: but your going to get a CAI right?
him: cai?
me: cold air intake
him: i havent decided how i want to set up the pipes
me: so your going custom?
him: probably
me: o
him: im thinking about making a V with it and having two intakes
him: one at each side of the grill
me: ohh
him: and make them both jets
me: that sounds cool
me: dam man, that dual intakes sounds cool
him: you know what a jet intake does right?
me: nah what is it
me: im new to the car scene
him: its like a cold air but as the pipe comes closer to the engine it gets slightly smaller
him: it pressurizes the air at higher speeds so it acts like a weak supercharger
him: err turbo
me: ohh
me: i thought turbos run off exhaust gases though
him: actually, i was right the first time
him: theres no lag in it
him: they do, but turbos and supers just pressurize the air
him: its the same thing, just different power mechanisms
me: ohh so its like a supercharger then
him: a weak one
him: that doesnt work at low speeds
him: lol
me: but i thought superchargers use pulleys and belts to make power, not air
him: they just compress the ait
him: air*
me: ohh
me: hrm
me: i didnt kno that
him: my jet intake doesnt do alot for me though
me: how much hp you think you'll et?
me: get*
him: it might give +10hp over normal cold air
him: at 60
him: nothing more
me: ohh
me: dam 10+ hp over a normal cold air?
him: yeah
him: at 60
me: holy **** thats alot of power
me: maybe you could help me mod my SRI into a dual jet air intake
him: if i have time
me: at most right now my SRI only gives me around the 1WHP villa
him: you can get a short ram
him: and install it yourself
me: okay
me: that sounds good
him: short rams not that bad
him: you can get a hood vent if your that worried about air temperture
him: that will help
me: ohh
him: its like $80
me: how much hp do you think ill et?
him: for a short ram by itself
me: ohh
him: between 10 and 20hp
me: new?
me: is that at the crank or WHP?
him: 10-20 hp at 60
him: is the general rule of thumb
me: so is the 10-20hp at 60 measured at the crank or at the wheels?
him: wheels
me: ohh ****
me: thats cool
me: so with a dual jet id get double the hp right?
him: short ram is in place of dual jet
him: dual jet is custom
him: short ram you can just buy
me: ohh
me: man you seem to kno your stuff
me: howd you learn all your stuff?
him: people
me: ohh
me: thats coo
him: its up to you how you want to configure your car
me: yea
him: compressed air is nice but itl reduce your engines life span
me: so how much hp do you think my catback exhaust will give me?
him: i dunno, i havent looked into exhausts that much
me: how bout a rough estimate
him: the best performance upgrades are at air systems and super/turbo
him: i have no idea, google it
him: air is about a 20% increase
him: super/turbo is about 50%
me: so if i get a intake setup and turbo i would be making alot of power right?
him: uhh, depends on what turbo
him: small or large?
me: how about just a big turbo and a intake setu up
him: its be fast
him: but
him: your not going to get anything from the turbo until your going 60 or 70
me: ohh
him: i mean you can get a really big ****ing turbo and if you had FR (which you dont) you could drift and keep up the rpm
him: but even then its just a nudge from the other car and your boost is gone
him: when your turning
me: ohh
him: im going on warcraft though
him: ill ttyl
me: k
me: cya
him: tell me if you need help with parts


so yea... long story short, he wants to "race" me on a hilly course thats 1 way in both ways.... should i accept? and how about his dual jet intake offer? ill gain 10-20 whp above the normal CAI

Type XS

You'll gain 3 whp if your lucky.

jennifermike

kinda gay

TQ

ghay.. take it to a track.

SuperSlow

Dude, 'Jet' intake is good for like 70hp.... And like, coupled with the F23 superdupercharger, that is like 500-800whp.

Curiouz_G
