Thanx for that educational information

Thats whats up! My trunk holds two twelves with a skinny box so I don't think thats my problem. The inake, exhaust, and the chip is a must. I just got my hands on some $. Do you know of a show nuff place in Baltimore where I can get these mods cause I would probably F up my car if I tried to play mechanic. I think i'm gonna roll with the intake first though. Good lookin on that drafting info I'm gonna try that. What is the max you would pay for each mods installed? Holla

Re: DRAFTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe this will help some of you guys out. When you are on a high speed run ( thats longer than a 1/4 mile ) try drafting behind the car you are running with. This is how it works. Get behind the car you are running with and let him run his car flat out. Since you are behind him you get caught up in his air stream thus your car doesn't have to fight the wind. Just when he thinks he has you or when you get tired of looking at his taillights drop down a gear and fly right by him. Ducking into another cars air stream allows you to keep power in reserve because their is less air turbulence going around the second car thus giving you power in reserve ( two cars can go faster than one ). Once you slip out of his air stream you should be able to go right by him and since his car should already be at max speed he may not be able to catch you. IN ORDER TO DO THIS. YOU MUST KNOW THE OTHER GUYS DRIVING SKILLZ AND YOU CAN NOT FOLLOW TOO CLOSE TO THE OTHER CAR WE WOULDN'T WANT AN ACCIDENT NOW WOULD WE. LAST BUT NOT LEAST YOU TOO SHOULD HAVE SOME DRIVING SKILLZ. Hey Jose your problem was you had an automatic. My next question is were you in the S mode or were you in DRIVE. Of course you know the S mode allows you to down shift at the click of a button and learning how to draft another car when you have an automatic would certainly prove helpful in an all out run. Peace and Blessings. Bigs out.

are all baltimore races like Days Of Thunder??

HEY 5speed4door!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You should be able to get the intake, and exhaust through KUSTOM KONCEPTS. They are located on route 40 west. As far as installation, they should also be able to take care of that as well. As a matter of fact you should be able to get most of if not all of the forementioned items I told you about from KUSTOM KONCEPTS. I plan on ordering my Ground-Control springs and Bilstein struts through them this summer. If they don't have what you need try ordering the parts from www.nopionline.com. Shipping and handling isn't gonna cost much ( a few pennies here and there ). By the end of the year you should have a killer ride. As far as the chip try surfing the forum because someone one the forum should be able to steer you and me in the right direction on that one. If you need anymore help you fellow family members ( fellow legend owners ) will be glad to assist you in any matter. One more thing. Give Dave C a holla. The Remus exhaust he has on his G2 sedan is WAY WAY PHAT. He should be able to let you know the model he has on his G2 sedan as well as where he purchased it from. It looks and sounds PHAT. Peace and Blessings. Bigs out.

Dont mean to be an azz but...

Why is it that you feel the need to write a half page post bout a race against a freakin Nissan Maxima Mr. Biggs? Theyre not that fast for one and two I sure as hell wouldnt be braggin bout it
If you want to share useless info its up to you but I for one would save my time and only post about cars that are worth the time to race, like Mustangs and the new 3.5 Altima or Maximas....not a lil azz 95-00 Maxima
If you wanna hear a good story ask Ricdogg bout the 5.0 Mustang we smoked the other week in his 4 door 1st gen, or bout DV8 running a 13.6 in his automatic 2nd gen 4 door...now thats a story, if you want to impress us go race a V8 and try to win.

Just FYI, a 95-99 Maxima 5 speed is usually faster than the pre '99 Mustang. With a decent driver they can run high 14's stock. Beating a Maxima is praise worthy in my book.

I've beaten older 5.0 Mustangs in my G1. Someone doesn't have to beat a Supra in order to post it on here. I'm not trying to start a flame war or anything, just give credit where it's due.

 

[Jiggy89LS]

those maximas are pretty fast, cant consider them a joke. Sitting inside a mustang is a joke !

Well Ricdogg ran a mid 14 on his first run with the blue bottle of "Acura Primatine Mist" so either way the Maxima or Mustang wouldve been seeing his rear bumper

and for your info the Cobra R and 2003 Mustang Cobra arent a joke at all...but thats my opinion....not trying to start a fight here

 

[past_acura_owner]

btw....Ive beaten a Supra before : )

where did i get thrown in all of this???
im only mid 14's (for now)
DV8's a better example use him. hes faster

 

[RICDOGG]

but im still waiting for the Turbo G1 legend to run his 1/4

 

[past_acura_owner]

Look at you being all modest hahaha

Its ok, we'll race on Saturday at the Legend meet when your bottle is refilled so you can show that Legends are capable of kinda keeping up with modded V8s

and I know that once the NOS is tuned Imma have to scramble and do something to keep you off my azz when we race....like add a lil pssst pssst to the maro

 

[past_acura_owner]

I may be way off base here but has anyone ever thought bout actually carrying out putting some NSX heads on their gen 1???

Im sure you can solve the hood clearance issue with a lil fiberglass, and as for the VTEC wiring....if anyone is serious bout doing it and you live within driving distance to Sacramento I'd be willing to either hook it up or get my buddy to hook it up for you

 

[RICDOGG]

100 shot brings you up to NSX levels & will probably turn faster times then the NSX drop; not to mention the ugly hoodline the NSX brings....& the huge cost in putting it in.
& i think most of the people with the funds to tackle a project like that own G2's

 

[past_acura_owner]

so narrow minded....Im offering to cut some costs for wiring foolio haha

NOS is the easy way out....I want to see someone that can pop their hoods and get everyone aaaahhhhhing and oooohhhhing

 

[past_acura_owner]

and if you wanna go that route.....a gen 1 with NSX heads and a 100 shot will be faster than a stocker with a 100 shot

you just gots to want to be different.....look at your bro....he couldve NOSd his Civic with the stock motor....but he took the higher road and did the H22a (hopefully with NOS later) route instead

You're talking NOS'ed though. Lots of things can run 14's w/ NOS. I'm talking stock. No intake, no exhaust and no NOS.

I hear you on the Mustang Cobra. Almost any Mustang Cobra is no joke.

NSX heads would probably fit a G1 with a little work, but with the few g's it would cost, you could have a turbo almost paid for.

HERE WE GO AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let me start by saying this. A G1 Legend VS. a 95-00 Maxima is a darn good race especially when the maxima has more horsepower to start with. Also we all post on the forum we are not trying to out do one another ( at least I'm not ) we are simply trying to let each other and the world know that the legend ( even the G1s ) is still a force to be reconed with. As for racing Mustangs and Camaros thats not my cup tea ( at least not in a 1/4 mile ) the only thing I like about 1/4 mile races is watching. I don't know how many times I have to tell you guys that Legends were not meant to be quarter mile cars. My journey to where ever my destination is DOES NOT END IN A 1/4 MILE THATS WHY I DO NOT CARE TO DO A 1/4 MILE RUN ( although I have done one against another G1 coupe and I won ). I like to run my car flat out against the red-line. If any of you guys have ever seen the movie Cannon Ball Run or Gumball Ralley ( Gumball Ralley is better ) thats what I like. I remember reading in Road and Track a few years back. They did a 140 m.p.h. shoot-out. To my surprise the MUSTANG was one of the cars THAT COULD NOT REACH A 140 M.P.H. in order to do so they had to DUCT TAPE THE ENTIRE FRONT END except for the from air dam ( I wish I still had a copy of the article ). First you say not to post about racing Maximas then you say and I quote only post about cars that are worth racin like mustangs the new 3.5 Altima and Maximas. Correct me if I'm wrong but, DIDN'T I POST ABOUT A MAXIMA I RACED. I mean come on guys instead of beating up on one another for no reason at all. Lets embrace the victories that we as Legend owners can proudly bring to the forum. This is not a whose better than who forum. Its a forum for sharing information and helping each other out. Most importantly we are here TO DO WHAT IT TAKES TO KEEP THE LEGEND ALIVE. Peace and Blessings. Bigs out.

HEY RICCDOG!!!!!!!!!

No all races in Baltimore are not like Days of Thunder. Don't forget one thing though. A TRUE RACER USES EVERYTHING IN HIS OR HER ARSENAL TO WIN and if their is something you may know that the other driver doesn't than you have just gained the upper hand ( remember that it, may serve you well young Jedi ). Using everything in your arsenal DOES NOT MEAN HURTING SOMEONE. It means take the skillz you have honed along the way and use them to your advantage. Peace and Blessings. Bigs out.

We just live by a different creedo.
mine is; if you're not ahead at the end of the 1/4, you're never going to catch up. But i dont race top end either.
I have no desire to be one of the famous legends on COPS
