I finally got my 87 tii running this morning. My cuz wanted to race me since we've been talking **** back and forth. He has a rsx type s with k-pro (hondata), intake, and race headers. Im stock. We line up on the highway at 60 mph, 3 beeps and we both gun it. I keep up with him 3rd, but as soon as i shift to 4th he puts 3-4 cars on me. I shut it down around 115 mph.
Is this right? or should i have kept up better... what do you guys think?

Sounds about right, the motors are pretty restricted stock from what I remember. I've heard of them running low 14's with intake/exhaust mods, and you should be high 14's to low 15's stock. Get an intake/exhaust and some fuel mods and you'll beat him. If you want a little closer race, go from a stop up to 80-100. He'll still win but you'll take him off the line.

intake and exhaust on a type s will only put someone at mid to high 14's something like 14.5-14.8 with hondata i have seen them run 13.7's to 13.9's but also the type s is geared very high i have seen one that runs 14.502 race a mustang gt that ran 14.115 from a 40 roll to about 140 and the rsx won its all gearing
get intake and turbo back exhaust and you will be right with him

yeah your exhaust beeing old like that may have some clogged cats. I would free up that exhaust and get a nice intake and a walbro pump and an fcd. Next time you will be seeing him in the rearview mirror.

I have a S5 and I beat all the RSX Type S that have challenged me. They think they are bad.
