i read somewhere in the forum that if you removed the back stuff in the car it weighs like 35 pounds or so i'm totally sure on this but i'm pretty sure someone will chime on this one

 

[toneekay]

in a hatch, the s**t in the back is nearly 30-35lbs.. wont make much of a difference.. his car is lighter though, but its also the driver..

i think the this race is fairly even, motor wise, it is up to drivers at this point.

 

[Winki]

just means you suck at driving lol
both motors are stock he just as a light platform overall

 

[bizoneoeh]

you guys all suck!

 

[knightxrider1]

i think its the driver too. a lot of fast cars have been beaten by good drivers.

 

[Project_EK9]

is there a chance that i can hit a 14.6 at the tracks with my setup?

 

[knightxrider1]

^^ yes wat all else do you have? b's in little hatches are quick.

it all depends on how good of a driver you are.

It's all about your reaction time & shift timing. Practice. Practice. Practice.

LOL JDM B's only have like 10HP on the USDM version.

Plus I hear that JDM motors take more of a beating because owners in Japan dont take care of them like us in the US. Since they have to swap them out anyways, they don't give a rats ass about the motor.

But yeah, in this race its the driver, regardless of the header. Do you look at his car while racing him?

 

[Project_EK9]

damn thats true..
Didnt know about that..
Yeah i sometimes look.
is that bad?
lol

Do headers really make a difference?
right now i still have stock header since i did the swap!

HAHA I look too, its soo hard not to look for some reason. I know its hella dangerous too.



Headers on B's, yeah youll feel it, but its not enough to make you win a race.
