    1st

    On my way to the junkyard I spot a TL Type-S.. See two guys just itching for a race as much as I was haha. So I figured, why the hell not. Been wanting to run one of these for some time now.. Few lights go by with no luck when finally we both catch a red with a decent stretch of open road.. Only thing is it drops into one lane and turns sharp at the end. Light turns green and for some reason my car bogs a bit then wakes up. He's about a fender ahead at this time when I start to creep past. Ended up getting maybe a car on him before I hit the bend. Now rather than slamming on the brakes to hop behind him for the turn (at this time already doing about 90) I decide to stay with it and ease on the brakes around the turn. End up taking this 60* turn at about 70.. Surprisingly it hugged pretty nice. So for anyone wondering, yes get the GMPP handling kit and while you're at it, pick up some ES poly bushings haha.

    2nd

    Leaving the junkyard I see this really clean DC2 Integra with a carbon fiber trunk, carbon fiber type-R spoiler, Volk TE37 rims, etc etc.. So I know he's got something done. Decide to see exactly what.. Well when I go to pull beside him I hear a light churp then a turbo spool. I immediately jumped on the gass as i've been stumped before by brake-boosting. He simply looks over at me and smirks as he easily puts 2 cars on me in a matter of seconds. I just laugh and follow him to the light. Catch him at a red and ask if it's still a B18. Come to find out it's a B20A with a Garrett T3/T4. Ask him if he wants to go again and of course he says yes seeing is how bad he beat me from a roll. I go ahead and rev to about 2k and when the light turned green gave it about 70% throttle before punching it at 30-35mph (spinning the whole time). Because of his boost lag I got about 2-3 cars ahead before he slowly started to creep (which I was expecting due to the size of the turbo). Hit about 70 before we ran out of road. I was all pumped but of course in Honda fasion he began making excuses about how he doesn't hook till 4th (even though he wasn't even spinning when he launched) I just say "hey man, killer car!" and drive off.

    3rd

    On my way home I spot my friend in his Speed3. He hasn't seen me since my trans blew so I decide to scare the **** out of him seeing is his windows were down. Pull up about a half car behind it and punch it. He just looked over like he saw someone die haha. Rolled the window down and asked if he wanted to do a quick run. He of course says sure.. Only downside it I was doing about 40-45 at the time so on the 3rd honk I go and the damn car doesn't downshift. So he easily pulled 1-2 cars on me. He just looks over and says "man, that thing got slow" So i'm like "want to try again". He just laughs and says ok. This time I make sure i'm only going 30 before he honks it off. Car actually downshifts this time and I got about a fender ahead of him before the turbo top end dooped my weak ass top end haha. Hope to get more from a dig with some vids. Also, just incase anyone is curious. His Speed has a full 3" catback, Spearco FMIC, HKS SSQV, and custom intake. Not sure of anything else, those are just the mods i'm aware of.

    Yeah, that whole Ford thing kind of kills it haha. Good thing is Ford sold all there remaining stake.. Look at how hell that worked out for Jaguar haha.

    Here's what I don't get. The speed3 is great, but I have yet to find a nice Speed6. Those things are slow as dirt stock and modded. And the AWD is decent at best
