I was going down a little stretch of interstate going 70 when a lowered CRX with an extremely loud exhaust passed me. I wanted to play around and do a few blow offs right next to him. So I did. He showed that he wanted a quick run so I put it to him. Next thing I know I was going 110mph in 4th gear. I was about a car length in front of him steadily pulling away when all of the sudden his car screamed and he flew by me. Cheap Honda driver with their nitrous. Why waste the spray on a meaningless race right?

a win is a win and a loss is a loss. If he likes to pay for filling his bottle so be it.

pwnd... aleast you told the truth... Not everybody can be lucky enough to have the money laying around for a mk3 and hell even if there old and can be picked up for cheap ehre where I live there rare... like you see 1 every 3 weeks IF THAT.... hell fast hondas are nice dont be a soar loser after all you got beat by a 93 wheel HP ( When stock) crx that was modded to beat your 190+ (when stock) wheel HP supra.
Power to weight ration X_X but still no since in being a dick cause you got beat he deserves props :)
and the old school V8 guys say the same thing about our turbos. *shrugs* If he wants to pay for it, it's his money. A modification is a modification, nitrous just happens to be one of the cheaper bangs for the buck.

I'm sure he had a few more mods than I knew about. And about MK3s being rare. They really aren't where I'm from. Alabama of all places!! I'm in the market for selling mine. I'm in a tight spot on finances and need some money for bills. If anybody is interested email me at cheezmaster1@hotmail.com.

who cares who made it in what country, be it japanese, american muscle or some swedish ball bearing company as soon as you buy it its simply YOURS, what you do with it and what it can do is up to you. when we get into the modified market we can no longer look at a car as being fast or slow by looking at its badge. look at the driver, thats who you are racing.
for me if it makes power and makes my balls shiver and my foot shake on the pedal than its a good drive. and yes the first time i raced my car against a 2nd gen rx7 my feet were litterally shaking on the pedals. thats why this is a good ride.
anyway good kill/unkill
juice is weak.

how?.. does it not add HP? does it not make a car faster?
Nitrous is to an NA car what a manual boost controller is to a Turbo car.
Some might say buying a car that is turbo stock is weak compared to buying a car that is NA stock and turbo'ing it.

Heheheh... just ask him to race 10 times. His bottle will be empty by about run #7. :)

190 whp? seems alittle low to me.

190 rwhp is realistic - remember, 230 bhp stock, with 15% driveline loss, and that's if it's in perfect condition.

technically it doesnt, it adds that HP for how ever the bottle is putting out to the engine. so if no NOS not +hp.
