damn man....if you have any up and coming upgrades you better put em' on....this is a race that i don't see you winning...either way my friend...good luck

5th gen hb is what your friend have. They are meant to be engine swapped so if he hasn't done that than I think you'll have a chance. Specs say that it runs 16.8s in a 1/4 mile. I don't know about what ours(st and gt) run. Take note that the SI is also the heaviest of cx,vx,dx.

Have you seen the hb before? Tell us if he has a tachmeter okay? On a positive side, I doubt that his shift timing is good. Just act all retarded to make him show off his cars speed for you to see. The main purpose of that is to see If he peels out just a little bit going from first to second..than i would fear that.

Actually it is very possible to win, but the odds are not in his favor.
It depends on mods to the 7a and/ or driver error on his part.
vtec is nothing special. all it is is electronic valve timing, you
have the same thing except its mechanical. weights of the
cars are very similar and you cant have driver error w/ an at.
you need to have more faith in your cars. dont let an si scare you.
Remember you bought a Toyota not a honda.

well, What I would do would be to spend the whole day of the race stripping my car of everything you don't need, like that article in scc, also depending on how much this race means to you, drain your bank account, start with some nitrous and a cai, for some power gains and go from there,, he probably won't expect you to pull up to the line with a celica frame with no battery and no windshields. but realistically you will lose, unless you do all of the above, good luck and may the force be with you

Mr7AFE, a honda is fast too...out of 50 there's prob 1 god for them.

jayi12-15psi, nitrous? no.. cai? no..

hioctane, ...hey just back off and let em laugh at ya for now. I know it is hard to do that but i'm sure that it is for a good cause in the long run. Trust me on that. I went from slow in the beginning to unimagineably fast in the end winning huge amount of money bets after bets...it's like converting their shame+laugh+putdown into money for you.

I was merely looking for power gains that require a short install time, there are many other mods that can be done for more power but if he wants power to win now, why not start with nitrous and cai?

Haha yeah, that was hilarious, it was like in cartoons where they throw off the body, the seats, etc, and are left w/ 4 wheels, the floor, the steering wheel, and the engine.

now ya got it, you could smoke dat si hoe, if you were just a frame and engine and some wheles

Why don't you just buy the $300 nitrous kit that's on the buyand sell part of this page? Then you would monkey stomp him.
