Finally got a shot at my brothers NSX. - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Well.... me and my brother were both free today and driving our 'fun' cars.... so we had a little fun.

ME: (short list)
1991 MR2 Sunroof w/ JDM 3SGTE
Intake
2.5 In. turbo-back exhaust
ATS CT27 (50 Trim)
EBC @ 18psi
Water Injection
Walbro 255lph fuel pump
And a few other things here and there....

HIM:
1991 NSX Hardtop
Intake
Exhaust
Springs
Rims and damn wide tires

First stop was the 'road course'... at first I was doing a pretty good job of keeping up.... but my stock pads started to fade

. After that I just kinda chilled.... but still hung on pretty good for being on stock suspension.

Next stop was the 'drag strip'. All his fancy electronics failed him horribly. He was revvving while we were stopped.... and his insanly sexy exhaust was kinda scaring me. So.... we take off.... and he should have taken me off the line.... but I look in my side mirror and he's just sitting there

.... then he jumps on it again.... almost stops again

. Then he gets rollin again.... I let him catch up because something was obviously wrong..... we go agian and hang just about dead even..... I started to get away...... then BANG..... gotta love those JDM ECU's.... speed cut at 125

What happened with him..... when he dropped his clutch.... his traction control kicked in and retarded his timing

.... did the same thing when he slammed it into second.

We will have to try it again with his gay electronics off.... but I've pretty much got him in the straits

ooh ooh more on this, im really interested... you guys need to get out more often (maybe even some video action

) and keep us updated on it!

Ill be racing several cars at the end of this summer (rsx type s, 240sx with sr20det, 300zx with a 700hp ls1) and ill let you all know how i placed in all these races, but this type of thing is really interesting!

haha! i never really noticed it until u said it but the nsx's look like a longer version of the last generation of turbo'd 2's (91-up til mr-s's, i think)

ToyotaTechGeek · 06-23-2005, 10:58 PM

Depending on your mods... you should have a good shot at the Type S and the 240.... I think you are going to get killed by the 300zx unless he REALLY can't get traction.

I raced my friends 240 with a sr20det, ball bearing T28 from an S15, fmic... and a few other things.... we pulled about even until he had to shift out of 3rd.... then I would loose him.
