I'll start of like this I ****** WON!!!!!!!!!!! .........
i will admit not by much but a win is a win and this one will definately be my favorite race for a long time ...
here it goes.....everyone was right he didnt know how to handle the power very well so he was skidding his tires when we took off and gave me a chance to pull a car leangth or so in the begining then of cours as i expected i see him creeping up but very slowly and then when he reached like the front of my door we just stayed like that for a while and thats when he quit and of course what do you think he did he talked his crap and said he would beat me but he couldnt run his car as hard as is could becouse of what ever reason and he had a bad start....you know the sore loser lines that they give you.......and he wants to race again.....now he has a new clutch put in (it was put in yesterday)and he says he will definately beat no questions asked....i dont know much of the clutch thing so i dont know if that would add speed or help him a lil not skid...but anyway...i told him that would not race him he is no longer worthy of a race until i get my DP and diffrent exhaust.....now he is pissed and i am happy i have a victory over a S/C S2K!!!!!!!!!.......and another thing what brands should i look for when it comes to exhoust and DP and i would like to know what are some good guages for the turbo and i am looking in to getting a turbo timer.....any help would be appreciated....i would like to have the better brands of these items that i am lokking for......THANKS!!!!!!!

very nice done, I hate honda. the most important gauge for fds in my opinion is the water temp and boost gauge and mine are both from auto meter and they work fine.

God Job, I don't think the clutch will make that much of a difference for him, unless he told you his clutch was slipping when he raced you. Yeah some people will tell you autometer = crapometer, but I have autometer gauges and mine work fine too. As for exhaust, the catback is pretty much up to your choice, they all work about the same except different noise levels. And for a downpipe I would say if it's in budget try to get one made out of S.S.

Autometer is the mostly widely used gauges from street cars to drag cars and there is a reason. Because they work. They may not have the cool name like Greddy, Apex'i, HKS, but they also don't have the high prices. For a DP, just get a SS one and for the exhaust go with what you like. Be it a huge Ricer 5" tipped CB or a stock appearing CB from Pettit. Either way, congrats on the win. A clutch made a big difference in my old car because mne was slipping like mad but if his is still good then it won't make any difference. Shitty Driver + Good Clutch = Shity Driver w/ Good Clutch.

hahaha, that guy is an idiot. he's gonna **** up his new clutch racing it like that. you have to break in clutches with 500 stop and go miles before shifting hard or launching hard. if anything i say race him repeatedly, if you lose demand rematch after rematch. then laugh as he has to replace his clutch again in a month. btw a clutch will actually make it more difficult to launch because of the less area of engagement play in the petal. if you race him enough he may eventually learn to launch better and get you by a little bit, but like i said just keep racing him and laugh at him later. also i dont know if superchargers need to be broken in a bit like turbos do but if they do then he is probably gonna **** up that as well

driftin180sx

as far as i know the stock clutch on the S2000 is more then stout enough to handle a s/c without slipping, unless he is dropping it from like 6000 or something, which is the way you have to launch a n/a S2000 (not sure about s/c or turbo ones) to actually get decent 1/4 times

Hah! Good job, man. It's always a pleaseure to hear about big-mouthed loser getting put back in his place. (And you did it with a STOCK car. )
This whiner has nothing left to talk about IMHO. He can whine all he wants about his clutch, but if he blew his launch by smoking his tires that is ALL driver. Keep racing him if you want to watch him go through parts or if you want to make some ca$h.

i hate people that wins and don't give the losers a rematch....unless..ur sure you'll lose the next time

If I'm not mistaken, this *was* the rematch. I think I remember reading that he beat this S2000 before the S/C, and now after the S/C.

It's just racing, who cares...

Nice run. I agree about the boost gauge and either a water temp or EGT gauge. And the DP, just about anyone will do...

Good luck!

i never said i wouldnt give hm a rematch i said he wont get one until i get my few mods to evenly match his mods.

holy **** i never realized that but your right it was a rematch and he had mods i think he should wait till i get some mods before i race him...yeah right i think im gonna go at it again becouse he will talk smack that i didnt race him agian so it will happen i see the kid everyday.

kwikrx7

Great kill, I was doubting that you could beat him and you did - nice driving. I'm surprised he didn't pull you when you guys got going but that's actually funny - stock FD beats S/C S2K - keep racing him from a launch though. Get a SS DP (any one will do) and any catback will get you 10-15 rwhp - just depends on your taste. With those 2 mods you'd pull him even on the highway. Boost and water gauge are most important as earlier stated when your beginning to mod. Good luck.

Any stock RX-7's in Houston that want to run against my SC S2000 let me know. My car must not be as fast as I think it is...I'd be glad to run for $100.

lol, so you are going to mod your car and then run against only stock cars?

I'm not in Houston but I'll run ya...

BoOsted Seven

C'mon man..I could come on here and say, wanna run my Stock 01 Z06? Besides the fact bein you spent alot more then he's spent on his stock FD, then you have on your S2000..and if he puts half that money into his car..he'd smoke your S/C'd S2k..Don't get me wrong..those are fast cars to begin with..with the FD will always be on top imo.

Street King

Hey very nice kill. I doubted you would win but I WAS WRONG. I also thought the A/F ratio gauge was more important than the water temp gauge, not saying its not important just saying that the A/F ratio gauge is more important. Also I live in San Antonio and my bro will be moving to houston. So when I visit him Ill look you up. I need more info about your car not just you wanting to race a stock RX7. Mines not stock nor BPU+++ so Ill race you for fun any way you want it. Dead stop or with a roll. Now with my regained conifedence I will race this stock s2000 with a S/C.heheheh

mr_jonboy

I love my RX and my RX would definitely slaughter my buddy's NA S2000 and would more than likely do the same if he was SC. But I witnessed a SC S2000 that got 296 hp at the wheels. The guy claimed that that is all he had. Not for sure what pressure that was at but I know if they get to high then they have to lower their compression ratio. If this guy you raced had that HP then I don't see it being possible that a stock Rx-7 beat him. After all they are basically the same weight. I am not saying that the race didn't happen like you said it is just harder for me to believe when I saw a SC S2000 get dynoed.

I too thought the S2000 would have won.

You have a good running car. Keep it that way.

"I live my life 14 seconds at a time - for those 14 seconds or less I.... pull my hair out because my primary turbo needs replaced and I have no hp with all these mods!!!! New turbos coming soon :P

ROTFLMAO!!! Barry taht is classic...
I don't know what the 1/4 mile times are for the s2000 s/c but in 0-60 it does not improve much over stock. Sounds like your friend just quit to early if the s2k is better after reaching faster speeds. I think stock is 5.2 or 5.1 and s/c is 5.0 or around there. Anyone with 1/4 mile times help me out.
I also have driven a s2k and it is not all that I thought it would be. My friend has one and we are going to race as soon as I get my new clutch and flywheel installed. Mine is slipping like a mad mo fo

for mods I would look at ss down pipe, and cat back of your choice, intake, and the gauges. After that you want to look at ecu's, midpipe, pulleys, etc. Have fun and keep us updated on more kills

Glad to see you missed the point.

I just want to see if there are any other stock RX-7's that think they can hand it to a SC S2000 the way this guy did, plain and simple.

I'm not dumb, I know what a modded RX-7 can do. Just like you're not dumb enough to run a modded Z06. But if you are, I could arrange that too.

I'm not trying to prove anything about a modded RX-7, it's already been proven - there is plenty of history to back it up. I just thought it would be cool to get a factual representation of the mentioned cars/mods on video...do you have an issue with that?

Flybye

I think it's time to challenge him to a track race AND a top end race........if he has the ballz to do so

Apparently you missed the point of the original post.

It's clear that the driver of the SC S2000 didn't know how to launch his car. If you would have noticed, most FD owners are surprised that the SC S2000 lost.

It happens... If some FD owner is sitting there spinning his/her tires, they'll get beat by some un-modded Civic. So what?

I'm sure you can launch yours better than the driver of the SC S2000 in this post, but no one here is saying that "every stock FD will beat every SC S2000". Get that chip off your shoulder and move on...

Sure, I'll race a modded Z06. I could care less if I win or lose. I'll still get up the next day, the sun will still be shining, and I'll put my pants on the same way no matter what the result was....

REDLNR

No chip friend...but I can always recognize a good chance to interject and stir up a race...works 90% of the time.

And btw, I'll take that track bet and top-end bet as well.
