It was this morning very early before work. The roads were deserted. My buddy has a 2000 Type R with only a comptech exhaust. We raced for about 4 blocks. In a nutshell, he killed me off the line and was ahead by almost a full car length. From about the first 1/2 block to the finish my car was faster but I lost by about 2-3 feet. 1 more block and I would have won.

I wonder how many of you folks have any experience with Type R's. It was a limited production vehicle - there only 1500 sold in the states in 2000. It is not anything like the GSR or other 'tegs.
QUOTE hmmm thats strange that u lost. ive yet to run a honda that could keep up with me at 10psi. maby u have a boost leak? at 13psi you shoud be well over 200whp. what rpm were u shifting at? My car is running very well. I don't think there is a boost leak. If there was, I would imagine the guage would not read 13psi. As for what RPM I was shifting, I wasn't really watching my tach but I would guess somewhere between 6000 and 6500. Again, it was clear that the 3s was quicker - the driver just didn't do as good of a job at the line. I am really not sure what hp I have at that boost level. However, with both cats and 13psi, I think I am probably around 190-200whp. Its just a guess.

I myself have only seen a couple, and driven swapped B18C5 Tegs/Civics, but have never had any hands on experience with the real ITR. It's almost a production racecar. Regardless... unless his engine is heavily modified, you should take him with practice. Like I said, 200 ft lbs of torque is not easy to control from a standstill. -------------------- "It's ok to be naked girl... I'm an artist!"
