Well to start of this off it seems that every car with a fart can wants to race. I don't mind making them look stupid, but its getting to be every time I drive. For example... Today a volvo with tinted windows and black rims pulled up next to me waving his hands "lets go". So I kindly get behind him and he "took" off. So I pulled up next to him and stayed next to him "on purpose". Then he started yelling out his window crying about your cheap car cant beat this volvo(along those lines). So I went WOT got in front of him brake checked him and left him wondering what kinda of ####ing car was that. I LOVE MY SPEED3!!



Please share your stories!!!!!!!!!

There is a red tiburon that drives around my neighborhood, if ever my Jen (or any woman) is out side, he makes sure that he rev's his 2L 4 banger (I used to have one, they have 124 hp at the crank stock) with strait pipes and fart cans as loud as possible, while going as slow as possible. If ever a dude is out there, he just idles by not making a sound.

Should call this the crappy driving behavior thread with the brake-check talk...

Oh I forgot to mention he cut me off before it all happened. He got what he deserved. And dont act like none of you never brake checked anyone!

I haven't. I prefer not to have some idiot hit me because they are a terrible driver. Brake checking them is only gonna make the chances of that happening worse.
Some guy in an old Civic Si (early 2000s maybe, not sure what gen, I know it was on that's 160hp stock) tried to race me driving to lunch one day. His car had plenty of little decals on it and he had a giant tach with a shift light. I didn't race him because I know it's a stupid thing to do.

LOL last time i did that i was 18 in a 83 RX7 in Puerto Rico and the driver of the other car caugh up to me in traffic and pull a gun and shot my car 3 times.

haha people are funny... i pretty much never ever get challenged in the MS3, but for some reason in my stock-slow-not-even-tinted beamer people try to play with me,

nobody ever wants to race me.

I want a "go fast" car so I can enjoy it, not to make every drive a deck measuring contest. Mine is about 450 sq. ft. if it matters.

(makes a note to get a "go fast" car in the future to enjoy)

I want to comment so badly about a ricer run-in, but I haven't had anyone challenge me since I moved to the DTC nearly 1 year ago. It used to happen daily when I lived in Westminster, but now I am just the king of highway on-ramp stop light racing lol.

It's not hard to win the highway onramp races I manage to do it just fine in my legacy. Mostly because people here don't seem to understand the concept of accelerating when getting on the highway. I swear I've gotten up to the top of the on ramps and been doing 35 and watched people in front of me merge into traffic. They're so stupid. That's when I speed up to 65 in the right lane and pass them before merging.

This thread is why I love my Gen1. No one ever wants to play or race me and I like it that way. The Gen1 is the definition of a factory sleeper.

It's because of your hood scoop.

Ditto. Saves me gas... I got 26 mpg on my last tank.
There was this van that didn't want me to get into his lane... So I just stayed next to him at about 40 mph and brake boost in 3rd and let her rip and got in front of him in about 2 secs. He stayed back after that.
But now that I have FMIC... maybe Honda boys don't want to race because of that too?

BTW Columbia, the swaybars are awesome!

Your FMIC doesn't stand out though. You would realy have to be staring to see it. I was really impressed with your build. Looking forward to getting your stock sways in on Monday.

Thank you. It was nice meeting you yesterday. Yea, unless the sun is shining directly on the intercooler, it's not so obvious....
Keep us updated with with the sways, I'm very interested to see how much it improves over stock 3 sways. I guess it should pretty much handle like a MS3 and about 400+ lbs lighter too.

Awesome stories guys. Thanks for the post. Just so you know I dont race everyday or anything. LOL Just hate all these ricers with there shitty body kits(never painted) and lawnmower exhaust. It seems to be a trend here in Colorado for some reason.
