With 40 extra hp and not a whole lot more weight (GSL-SE's are pretty heavy as far as first gens go) I'm not really surprised by this...

What, you mean 15 years of automotive development resulted in a somewhat faster car?!?

Wonders, they will never cease.

Compare sticker prices; mystery solved.

very true, still always have that on him... it just sucks cuz it family so it gets rubbed in your face day in and day out. hes pushing alittle over 200 hp right now... this summer im going to do a full rebuild on mine and drop an FD twin turbo in. a friend of my cousins has one and will let it go for $100. we'll make it fit lol, id put it in now but i doubt my engine would handle it, the apex and side seals arent in the best of shapes.

thats impressive dude, h22. bro's selling the GSR today and getting an eg hatch and is going to swap in another GSR into it. that ***** gonna be insane, no way in hell id keep up with that

is there much i could do on mine other than turbo to gain more hp? iv seen the threads but its so mixed up with the carbed 7 and all that im lost....

you could do some kind of porting. i think swapping in a 13bt is the easiest bet though... if you want to beat him.

Beat me to it

Friend of mine said he could beat me in his 1990 RX. Stayed right beside him the whole time

EDIT: Pulled me on the uphill, but on the straight I would walk him from 100-120.

if its the stock rx7 suspension then i think its not true. a lot of the tuned ff cars handle very well (but i hate driving them... it just feels weird). but if you have a non stock suspension it's definitely true

Running 11s in a Honda is just like coming out of the closet. At first, all your friends are surprised and happy for you.




In the end, you're just gay.

the SE was a pretty quick car for its day and was praised by many magazines. you have to look at automobile evolution in this case. to me it doesnt matter if an Integra will beat me in a race or a civic can outhandle my SA or FB..i know in my heart that i'm driving a timeless car. one that has a cult following amongst many countries and hordes of people. and the guy thats in the Integra is some bi-curious ricer boy looking for a cheap thrill at the expense of poor taste and dangerious driving.

car and driver said in march of 84 about the GSL-SE "for the money there STILL isnt a better fling about redline hungry tire smoking sports car to be had".

He's got a faster car stock, and his is modded. You were expecting what, again? Newsflash: 25 year old cars need mods to keep up with cars less than half their age. Get a RotaryShack header and straight-through exhaust and a 48 IDA and see what happens then.

Not sure about that....DC2 Integra is the best handling fwd car ever made.
