Kind of a long story here.
This afternoon I washed the Spirit all up, nice and perty, cleaned the rims with some real nice acidic detergent, works real well, anyways go to work, come back home and meet the parents on the way home. Get some money from the mum and go out to eat.
So I'm at the local A&W, hit on my waitress a little, eat, hit on her some more, tip her, hit some more, oh yah, then leave!
Okay on my way home. I have my windows down and the radio off, I'm listening to my turbo whistle with my open downpipe. :thumb: When all of a sudden I hear a HKS SQV BOV. Look into the oncoming lane and see a dark green, Mitsu. 3000 GT. Oh snap! Whip her around the block and catch up to the bi-turbo beast.
Luckily while catching him and taking a right hand turn he went right on by popping his BOV. Sweet! Also noticed he has no hood. Even sweeter! Make my turn and goose it, blow the tires away and pop off my BOV. He looks back in his mirror and responds by downshifting and taking off real hard. It's only a 2 lane road so I can't get next to him.
We both are coming up to where the road becomes a 4 lane, so we just keep playing with eachother. Popping each's BOV off after another. hehe
Here's the good part. Road opens! I'm doing about 35mph in 2nd gear (413 trans) and he gets next to me in the slow lane. He paces me but keeps ahead about a half car. When I notice a nice clearing is up ahead I nail it! He responds immediately.
I got the bust on him and instantly get door to door with him. I hear his BOV, meaning he shifted, and I lurch forward... me still in 2nd gear, at about 4,500 or 5,000 RPMs now. I continue to wrap out the motor to 6,000 and rip back 3rd gear. Puting a half length on him but he was beginning to pull me in. I let out doing about 90mph (yah, it's a 35 zone). What a freakin' race!
I point right to a parking lot and he follows. Turns out he's just got a 3.5" exhaust, HKS SQV BOV, Taylor ignition, 16psi, and the turbos have been balanced. He said he ran a 13.5 in it.
I was running of course the open downpipe, 19psi, and 48psi static fuel pressure. Pump gas, full interior, street tires and all.
Damn, damn good race if I've ever had one.
