So, the first summer rolls along that i will be spending with my brand new Pearl White 95' Si Hatchback.( ) After weeks of stress and labor fixing broken motor mounts and getting vtec to kick, it finally seemed like everything was running good.

Me and Deanh8 are on Montague Expressway at about 10:30pm cruising and trying to enjoy a finally fully functional car. About one stop light before we get onto 880 i pull up next to a nice new silver RSX types S. I give a nice little rev, wanting to test out the new generation of honda "k" power, he rev's back. At this point i know its on, and my feet begin to tense. As the light turns green we both get on the gas, I pull ahead about a car in in the end of second gear before i realize i have to get on the freeway. I signal and pull onto the freeway with the RSX in persuit. We pull into the far two lanes and have about 6 pulls from 3rd and 4th gear. Every third honk i jumped with joy as i heard vtec engage and pulled ahead , but my joy was quickly short-lived, for every time when he hit 5th and 6th gear it was a hole new race, he basically walked all over me, damn those 6speed transmissions! Finally, i decided id suffered enough bashings, admitted deafeat, and exited the freeway for home.

The next day i noticed a little white smoke coming from my exhaust, but being the dumbass that i am decided that it was probably just my gutted cat.

So, the next night i headed out again, this time for some actuall runs. The desire for speed overtook me. This is where the story starts to get hairy, i start out the night by loosing to cars that i had taken several times in the past (focus on the bottle and sohc turbo coupe) and my car was acting extremely funny. We quickly realize the problem was that i wasnt hitting vtec untill 8rpm's so we pop the hood and begin looking for signs of damage. Someone suggests that loss of oil could be the cause, so we pull the dipstick, to my amazement WE FIND ALMOST NO OIL AND COOLANT ON THE STICK!!!!!! Im fully scared at this point and trying to think of what it could possibly be. White smoke, so i assume head gasket. Later on i find out upon removal of the head that i had cracked off a peice of the #4 Piston which in turn had chipped the cylinder wall. ( )

So, in the end i got owned by a RSX-S and I owned myself and my motor!

This is a real story, i actually have the vids of the races against the RSX, and vids from the night i lost to the focus and sohc turbo civic.


Positive: I got this now! ( ) :thumbup
