It's close to the intersection in this picture and matches the name of the store in this picture.

Should we sick /b/ on this guy? I'm sure they'd get a kick out of it. Not sure I'd want to link them here though...

I almost sent an email, but then karma tapped my shoulder and reminded me of all my less than legal activities. :| karma

The guys been banned and can't even defend himself. It sort of sucks when people start posting real life shit about someone in a public forum. :frown:

Well, he did use his real name, gave away personal details like crazy, posted his license plate, and is an all around idiot...

True. I wonder what happened with that guido John or Joey or whatever his name was.

/b/ is the only place I'm afraid to go at work.

OP isn't too far off on what he said actually....

My brother owns a '92 prelude into which he put an H22A from Japan, as well as other misc. upgrades including nice headers and a high preformance exhause package. (I don't remember what kind, but it came off a modded out Skyline he found in a junkyard.)

He swears he out runs Mustang GT's and others of similar class when over 100-120, and can top out at over 150.

Thankfully, since being married he has slowed down quite a bit and drives mostly sane now. :p

But don't be so surprised at what the OP is saying....

Well, the engine is just a side bit. If OP is true, he was racing, up to 140+, on a public road, when there was other traffic around.

If OP cared about his car / thought it was actually decent, he'd get track times. Instead, he races illegally like an idiot.

No, he posted a pic of a rather large piece of feces he produced.

A 92' Prelude (early 4th gen) weighs 300-400lbs LESS than the OP's vehicle, 300-400lbs at that speed becomes rather important.

It is EXTREMELY unlikely your brother EVER found a modded Skyline in ANY american junkyard. If thats what he states then he is FOS, since the only skylines in this country have been brought here by a company called motorex (I don't know if they still are able to import them) they are RHD and it would be EXTREMELY unlikely to find one in a junkyard especially at all intact as almost ANY part is very valuable due to the rarity and likely sold on ebay or some other online outfit.
If your meaning he had parts removed from a modded skyline and put on this prelude motor he's either a complete moron or thinks you are. There is no way he removed an exhaust from a skyline and used it on his prelude, MAYBE a muffler but that would be utterly pointless and stupid.

A mustang GT (not the most recent model) is not THAT hard of a car to out run in stock trim, off the line a mustang will shit on most preludes (with that motor and any other) and only at highway speeds is it likley that he could out pace them if for a short time but a corvette of the C4 variety would out run a mustang too. Furthermore mustangs and Corvettes are not in the same class.

I almost believe that his car will do 150 but not much more only because of how much experience I have with those cars, but I am inclined to think not due to his statement around using a skyline exhaust on a prelude... Which absolutely SCREAMS ricer

it was on an open freeway, he initiated the race, so i said why the hell not...

he honked 3 times and we both got a pretty much even start, we were neck and neck all the way to 140, and then he slowly walked away, once he started to walk away i got off it at around 145 once i knew i wasnt gonna catch him.... we pulled into a gas station and talked for a few mins, he wanted to see under my hood lol.... couldnt believe an accord hung with him.... i couldnt believe my accord hung with him....


before everyone calls BS, it's not your everyday accord coupe, it's got the red top H22A swap (Euro Prelude moter, 220hp stock) and i have a straight through exhaust, no cats, no mufflers, dumped behind the rear axle, and a custum ram air intake i made myself....


You seem to be pretty consistent. You're accurately able to determine the right thing and the wrong thing to do in any situation in life. Strangely, you seem to always choose to do the wrong thing.

But I guess it's not as bad as it sounds, your alertness was probably enhanced by the illicit drugs in your system.

next time you decide to become a leadfoot, think about that 2y/o you're about to hit.


What 2 year old?

the one that will come running out on to the street one day while he's pulling his stupid speed shit and run over...that 2y/o. who knows, it mught even be his own daughter. but I don't he would care at any rate since he's to stupid and selfish to tink of anyone but himself at any given moment.

You are the one that will be banned for pulling this resurection stunt and lying about it.

It is called trolling or what the poster below stated.

Pull this type of stunt again and you will be able to complain when no one can hear who.
