but this Pinay chick deserved to be killed!
going home at 45mph from capitol expressway, making a left turn towards tully road (hidden glen) there's this brand new 2001 Integra GS-R (4dr) all riced out.. with rims "racing hart c5" drop and everything and the powered by acura 30hp sticker
. shows up on my back. and i didn't pay any attention cuz I was tired comming back from work. then she started revving her engine (i think she was trying to show off to her boyfriend or she doesn't really know how to drive stick). She was getting closer, and then she move to the right lane at white rd. I didn't really care. but then she started revving hella hard to let me hear her VTEC engine.. hopefully she can't see through my IS (windows tint
) then she start pissing me off with that revving
then I floored the IS and i was going like 80mph, the she followed up.. by the time I was about to make a turn to stevens ln, to go home I keep going all the way to evergreen college. (san felipe rd) then i was going like 100mph-120mph (no cops!) and then I went to towards the hills (silver creek) and she can't keep up with me.. hahahahhaa
I was like those ricers wanna race IS300.. what a nice kill to acura..
what's Pinay mean? I had that same car for 3 1/2 years, a '97 GSR sedan, that car rocks.

Oh gawd, that's great. You know the best part of having a car that is fast? Not showing it off! Yup, no if, ands or buts about it. Don't street race, its one of the dumbest things in the world especially cause there are other people on the road you can endanger. Now, if you want a real race, I'll take your car and any acura on at the drag strip.
Come now Hrana, don't tell me you haven't dropped it into third and laid down S4 heat on your local highway at least once to make sure onlookers didn't mistake it for an A4.
honestly. I was hella tired.. I am on spring break and company took advantage of it. Like since you're on spring break. Let's help to meet the forecast for the quoter. I was like
but oh well. gotta make some exceptions on the road with people!!
I hate those people that thinking they have an exhaust, intake, headers and 4 bangers can run up to anything..

Hey El CHino, because you drive an IS300 with an inline six and the Lexus name mean you can run up against anything? I have been reading posts on this board for a while and it seems as if a lot of the people here are major Honda and Acura haters.
By the way I am contemplating selling my GSR for an IS or TL-S not sure yet though. I am definitly a Toyota fan I have owned 4.

i don't think there's a lot of haters...i think it's cause of the past...acura owners used to come here bashing the IS...that is plain stupid. why go to a board and bash the car the board is made for??? that's why...i myself am a honda lover myself. in fact...i love all "good" cars. i say "good" cause i make my own opinion as to which ones are good...not cause all the other ppl say they are...just my 2 cents...
I've never seen any IS300 owner bashing other cars on other sites. As you can see, we the people at is300.net are well mannered. We have nothing to prove. We got the IS300 for our own good reason, no 2nd thoughts about it. We keep to ourselves, and keep it on this site. Now on behalf of all the true is300.net members... I summon the spirits to take away those troll hating non-is300 owners from this site!! (Let's see if that did the trick.)

To tell ya the truth, there are very few "Honda haters" here. Many of us came from Honda/Acuras, and probably wouldn't hesitate to go back if the right car came along. (Like a S2K-based 2+2 hatchback.) Like HyperMKIV said, there used to be a disproportionate amount of Honda/Acura trolls that cowardly sniped at our cars (perhaps because it's the first serious challenge in a few years to Honda/Acura's stranglehold of public consciousness in the import tuning scene), and that of course primed the people here to trash talk about Hondas.
Another perspective is that what you see is not really Honda hatin', but amusement at misguided folks that think Hondas of any level will slay anything on the road. A stock automatic IS300 certainly isn't going "rule the streets", but 3-liter/RWD/$33K car is going to be good for something over a 2-liter/FWD/$20K car, or so you'd expect owners of lightly-modded Integras to know.
So I drive a 04 factory 5 speed. And the rear diff ration is a 3.7 if I'm not mistaken. And factory autos have a 3.9. I know people swap brz and frs diffs in because its a higher ration of 4.1+s to drift with. (Which I dont understand because 2nd and 3rd are fine with the factory diff.)...
This is the weirdest issue, I can’t seem to get my car started after finishing my front suspension. I think it has to do with the igniter and other box that both sat on top of the strut mounts when I was installing. There’s a new battery in the car, yet I don’t even see a light when I open the...
So i was replacing lightbulbs that went out where the ac knobs are
there's this white strip connected that tugged a little and let out some smoke so i pushed it back in - the lights and everything else in that area are working fine
but now my key fob is not locking the car - trunk doesn't open...
Hey guys went to my first drift event Friday with the is. Loved it car performed good and felt really good for a car only on coil overs and Megan strut towers. I’m looking to upgrade my suspension and make it a straight drift build. What suspension parts should I look at getting. At the moment...
