Well the last two days here in DC have been good enough that I could take the FD out for the first time since around November or so...



WOW what a great car. I've been driving my daily driver Acura RSX-S and when I took the FD out I realized that it pulled so much harder at 2500 RPM than the Acura does at 7500



I was out testing my new wastegate and my new 5th gear ratio and I came across a BMW M3 which I think had a turbo (looked highly modded and had a boost gauge on the A pillar). We lined up from around 80 and he just punched it. I was considering just leaving it in 5th, but I went ahead and dropped to 4th and took off after him. I took it up to around 125 or so, where I had to brake for cars ahead and I was a few cars ahead at this point. We exchanged thumbs up and went our separate ways. Nice guy and nice car!



I did some more "testing" of the car's performance on lots of unsuspecting people and it was making me laugh how fast the car was!



Thank god spring is coming!!!!!!!

1Revvin7,



Yeah, you're right it could have been a super too. It was loud and I could hear a whine...



I've got a T04S single turbo running around 14-15 PSI, full exhaust, intercooler, PowerFC, etc.

No I did not notice any badging... I did see the M logo, but I didn't look for anything else. It was silver, lowered, aftermarket exhaust, aftermarket rims I think, clear tail lights and markers...
