yes i know, street racing is bad.. blahblahblah...... but..
On my way to school today in the morning around 6:00am... I was driving slightly more aggressive than usual cuz i was late... Seems to caught this 98-00 4 cylinder with either 18" or 19" wheels'accord's attention.... well at least i assume it was a 4 banger... i dunno, didn't see his rear....
1st light he pulled up... and gunned it! it was like VROOMZZZZ from his exhaust... I gassed a little and stayed right beside him... had to slow down... cuz next red light is coming up... I figured... no one around, y not... light goes green again, that mother gunned it again! so i floored it about 1/2 second later, and i was right beside him, pulled on him around 40mph and at 60mph he was looking at my Scion Xa badge!
Next light comes up, he didn't even pull next to me! he just stopped behind me! LOL.. prob thought, "Echo engine 108 HP, Haha" and then got owned!

see!! these are exactly the kind of remarks and attitude that ticks me off! Just to let you know the accord with F23B only has 150hp and 140lbs of torque for a ~3100lbs car + those cars have really long gear ratios... Not to mention those blingbling rims which prob weights 25+lbs each! autos they are hella slow even 5spd is not all that! Trust me I used to own a 97 CL which is almost equivalent to the accord!
Its not only about horse power! Its also about Power/Weight ration and gearbox gearing. Our Scions have really close ratio for quicker accelaration compared to most economy/mid-sized cars! Gear ratio is the reason why we can accelarate slightly faster than the echos/civics. Note that we will lose out on top speed though because we will run outta gear! i have a auto and at 110~120mph rpm is like 4~5k on 4th gear!
Just to answer the questions here are the powermods:
Weapon R intake (header wrapped)(air ducted to where the fogs are)
TB throttlebody bypass
Ground wires
NGK Iridium plugs
DC header (header wrapped)
2" custom exhaust (header wrapped)
Polyuthrane motor mounts + Weapon R engine dampener
Perrin Pulley
15" Rota Slipsteams
Muteki light weight tuner lugs
15lbs Hawker Genesis battery
35 Nitrous Express (DID NOT USE)
not much! but trust me enough to give those slightly more powerful car a good run. With the 35shot i've actually hanged and pulled slightly from my friends V6 2000 accord sedan!
I apologize for the attitude, dude give our Xa/Xb alittle more credits than that!

Teens Killed in Apparent Street Race
By Victor Ojeda
An accident last night in St. Peters appears to be the end result of a street race.
Two 16-year-old boys were killed when they lost control of their car on Highway 94. A WB 11 investigation found street racing is a problem for law enforcement in St. Charles County. Teens say racing is all about adrenaline, but sometimes that rush can cost lives.
Witnesses said they saw two cars racing around 11 p.m. Saturday night on Highway 94 near Jung Station Road. One car lost control, flipped over the median and landed in oncoming traffic. Killed were 16-year-old Jacob Liscombe, a passenger, and Bradely Boss, also 16, who was the driver. Liscombe's parents say Jacob was a sophomore at Francis Howell North High School who loved to play golf. While friends came to his home to mourn, Liscombe's parents said their son was at a party last night when he decided to go along with Boss to street race.
Teenagers in St. Charles County say street racing is the thing to do. Street racing events are often planned in high school hallways. "We all get together and thats just what we do," 16-year-old Jeremy Jacquez said. Julie Bennett, 17, said she never participates, but said, "You just hear a lot of people, they get their cars ready and start talking about how they are going to go street race."
When we went undercover, we found police in St. Charles had their hands full. At a commuter lot hundreds of young people congregated around midnight, waiting to race. St. Charles Police say all they can really do is clear the lot, forcing the teens to go into St. Peters, where police there will most likely move them to another municipality. "It is a never ending story," one officer said. Police are still looking for the second vehicle involved in the street racing that killed the two teens Saturday night.

To each of their own! A while ago a dog bite the mail man's nose off... should we stop owning dogs? Dog owners can be just as dangerous! I would think there are just as many irresponsible dog owners as teenagers....

...So I pulled up at a light next to this acura tl... and I give the driver a "look"... just to let him know what's what...
He thought he could play it cool and pretend to ignore me, but I know he saw me...
I gave him the "nod"... he persisted with his cool act, but he was fooling no body...
The light changed and I floored it... I smoked him instantly, when I looked back, he had barely made it 10 ft from the light... yeah... chalk another win down for my bad-___ box..
..true story

I recently pulled up next to a 72 year old woman in a wrx. I gave a nod she looked and smiled so i figured it was on. When the light turned green I smoked her. SHe had no clue what happened to her. I figured we would be racing for titles, but she wouldnt pull over when she caught up to me.
Man i smoked that old broad
not a true story, just a joke on how lame some racers/ricers are. That is in no way a reference to you cseika

To each their own, yeah - but as I say to drunk drivers - do what you want, just don't do it near MY family or friends.
