·Well, I'm doing my part to spread the whoopin...
My first post to this board...I hope to contribute better info than this, but I have to share this little encounter I had last night.
I have a 91 SE-R w/ a DET swap, set up completely sleeper style, with the stock B13 wheels (AD22VFs underneath), Swain-coated BBE coating on the IC, and an inconspicuous-looking GReddy exhaust and a couple of gauges. Low profile.
The Type R (a yellow one, yellow = fast!) and me line up at a stoplight and he looks over at me, points to the empty road ahead of us to let me know he wants to go. I figure ok, it's late, no traffic, why not.
Light goes green, he nails a perfect launch and jumps 2-3 carlengths in front of me. I take an easy launch, ease into the throttle in 1st, start spinning the wheels at around 6k, shift into 2nd at that point, completely pass him in 2nd gear, and I am 1-2 carlengths on him by the time I shift into 3rd.
He flashes his high beams to admit defeat and pulls up next to me completely shocked. Completely taken by surprise he said. He was a cool guy...hopefully he'll think twice when he sees another SE-R.
